Chapter 27

Chapter 27 “Where are you going?” Willow asked, and her face flushed even more.

Sean shuddered.

With years of experience on the battlefield, he was used to life and death and troubles.

One could imagine how calm Sean was.

Outsiders could not affect a solid rock that easily. However, he was nervous for no reason. “I’m going to rest.” Sean muttered in reply as he had his back on Willow. “… What if… it hurts again?” Willow pressed her red lips together, not even noticing the coquetry in her voice. “Then I’ll come over again.

“You’re on your period. Have a good rest.” Sean slowly left the room after he finished. “Hmm… “He’s quite the gentleman.” Willow mumbled to herself with an indescribable emotion on her face.

After Sean left, Willow lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The events of the last few days flashed through her head like a movie.

Sean had surprised her since he recovered his mind. It had also brought some changes to Willow’s life.

Willow could not help but feel some strange emotions.

They had spent two years together. Even having a pet could let you develop feelings.

Besides, Willow and Sean were living people. “Willow! You don’t really like him, do you?

“But why would you take care of him for two years if you didn’t?”

Willow muttered to herself. After tossing and turning, she picked up her phone and called her best friend.

Rachel Summers—someone Willow grew up with.

They were deskmates since elementary school and through high school.

Rachel had a pretty name, but she had always been tough.

She aspired to enlist since childhood and dreamt of defending the country.

After graduating high school, Willow went to college while Rachel joined the army.

She went away for years.

It was said that she made a name for herself in the army. She was the epitome o f the saying—women were not inferior to men.

They often kept in touch.

“Willow, why are you calling me so late? Has something happened?”

The call got through, and Rachel’ s voice came over the phone.

She sounded straightforward and made people find her swift and decisive.

“No! I just feel a little flustered…”

Willow paused and briefly told Rachel about what had happened in the past few days.

“Willow, you didn’t fall for him, did you?

“Let me tell you. A woman mustn’t undervalue herself.

“Even if your reputation is ruined because of him, you’re still the most beautiful woman in River City.

“Leave him. There are plenty of good men waiting for you.”

Rachel replied sharply after hearing that. Willow was a little silent. Rachel had always done things fast and furious. Willow was envious of such a swift and decisive style. “Willow, I don’t despise him. “It’s just that he doesn’t deserve you.

“There are many good men in the world. You just haven’t found one.

“If I, Rachel Summers, ever going to get married, I’m going to marry a man like Commander.”

Rachel’s sharp tone instantly softened at the mention of Commander.

Willow shook her head in resignation. Rachel did everything swiftly and decisively.

However, she kept thinking about this commander.

“You keep talking about Commander. Who’s Commander?

“I’m kind of curious that he even conquered our tough girl Rae.”

Willow laughed and said half-jokingly.

“His… his identity’s a five-star secret, so I can’t tell you much.

“In short, he’s amazing and strong. He started training in the army in his teens and became a nine star commander when he was 20.

“He was a man of great foresight, of great skills, of great loyalty, and great military service. All words of praise were no exaggeration when applied to him.

“In the battle two years ago, he attacked with his sword and killed ten of the enemy’s commanders alone. He conquered four thousand kilometers of land. He’s truly a legend!”

Rachel’s voice became excited at the mention of it, mixed with deep admiration.
