Chapter 28 Willow stepped back , retracting the leg she had already moved inside . Unfortunately , Elijahs aunt Theresa Scott saw her and immediately stood up to greet her . Willow , youre here ? Come , sit down . Everyones been waiting for you . Willow had no choice but to walk over and sit down , ordering a cup of coffee . Charlotte smiled , casually saying , Its nothing serious , just here to chat . Her coffee was served . Charlotte leisurely mentioned a couple of unrelated things before getting to the heart of the matter . 394 % E +23 Willow , Im actually here because Elijah asked me to come . You know him hes too shy to say some things himself . Willow had heard this line countless times . From trust , to doubt , to eventual certainty . It wasnt that Elijah was too shy to speak he just never spoke at all . Charlotte continued , Elijah told me that nothing happened between him and that assistant . It was all a misunderstanding . You saw the scene at your company , so maybe its time to come home , check on Elijah and Bobby ? Bobbys been upset since he hasnt seen you in so long . This morning , when I said I was coming to find you , he refused to come with me . Of course , Bobby refused . To him , he had no mother . Charlottes attempt at playing the mediator was painfully obvious , and Willow saw right through it . Mom , theres no need to say more . This is between me and Elijah . Charlotte frowned , clearly irritated . Charlotte thought , I cant get through to her ? Willow used to be quiet and obedient , but after just a few days away from home , her bad temper had resurfaced . She had already snapped at Charlotte a few times . Are you really planning to divorce Elijah ? Theresa immediately jumped in . Willow , dont be silly . Every man cheats ! Any man with a little money , they all do it . Elijahs only had this one unclear incident with his assistant . Its probably someone else who seduced him why hold onto it so tightly ? Krystal Clark also added , Youre still young and beautiful , but once a woman divorces , shes like second hand goods no one wants her anymore . Life goes on , its just a small issue . Dont sell yourself short over this . They were both playing the good cop . 1/3 Wed , 12 Mar Chapter 28 Alana Clark set her coffee cup down gently , making a small clink against the saucer . 94 % +23 ) Willow , you dont have a job , and your education isnt exactly impressive . Just getting into the Clark family was already at stroke of luck ! Honestly , everyone , whats the point of trying to fix things ? Shes acting all high and mighty now , but who knows ? If she keeps this up , itll only make things worse . Wouldnt it be better . if Elijah found someone more suitable ? Why keep someone around who just cats and drinks for free ? She was the bad cop . It was clear they were trying to convince her not to divorce . They wrapped it up in the guise of whats best for you , but in reality , they just wanted her to swallow her grievances . But Willow thought , Why should I ? Charlotte was losing her patience . She had already been more than understanding with Willow . Willow , Im not saying this to upset you , but when theres a way out , you should take it . If you wait until youre crying and begging Elijah to take you back , it wont be pretty , Charlotte said . Willow lowered her gaze . It wasnt like she hadnt begged before . After Charlotte found out she was pregnant , she took charge and arranged the marriage . Elijah was furious and avoided home as much as he could . Charlotte told her to try and please Elijah since he was the father of her child . So , she followed him on a camping trip . But Elijah ended up abandoning her alone on the mountain . Terrified , she begged him not to leave . But Elijah still shook off her hand , cold and heartless . Think youre so capable ? You wont die here . Even if you did , itd be better . I never wanted this bastard , he had said . It was then that Willow realized she would probably never get the love she had longed for from Elijah . If it werent for the child , she probably wouldnt have married him . She wouldve walked away then , instead of staying and wasting six more years in a broken marriage . Those six years felt like a slow erosion , grinding down whatever love she had for Elijah . Though it still hurt when she thought about it , it was nothing like the soul crushing pain from the beginning . She had gritted her teeth and stayed in the Clark family for Bobbys sake , to be there for him . Now , even that reason had vanished . Willow looked back on her years in the family . She had been a wealthy housewife for many years , but she wasnt just a decoration . She knew all about the familys business dealings . 2/3 3/3 Chapter 28 She turned to Alana .

You dont have to be so hard on her ? Alanas face turned pale . Willow then looked at Krystal . I heard your husband went to the casino again ? Krystal quickly turned her gaze away . Willow then looked at Theresa , whose face had darkened . She was about to speak , but Willow cut her off . I heard your husband is keeping a few young models on the side , and you , to keep him , have contacted several cosmetic surgery clinics . Honestly , whats the point ? People age , and men will always stray . Why waste that money ? Theresas face turned bright red with fury . Fighting fire with fire had a way of breaking down defenses . Charlotte slammed the table , fuming . Is this how you speak to your elders ? Im just showing concern for my elders . Didnt you say we should talk ?
