All too late for his love
Chapter 77

Chapter 77

Men desired beautiful women and often yearned for a sweet night with them. Similarly, women were drawn to handsome men, especially those like Zayn. Countless women desired his alluring physique.

Skyler was one such woman. She hoped Zayn would look her way, and longed to become his true lover.

"Skyler, I'll have someone take you home!" Zayn smoothly brushed off Skyler and called Arthur, who had just left, to escort Skyler away.

Hearing this, Skyler seethed with rage. Was she doomed to be forever limited to more embraces with Zayn? No! Skyler refused to be such a pitiful woman! With determination, Skyler boldly embraced Zayn from behind. "Zayn, I'm not leaving. I'm your woman, we should be living together, I-" "Skyler, behave!" Zayn cut her off, grabbing a jacket from the sofa to drape over her. "Get some rest." With that said, he turned around and headed upstairs

Skyler stomped her foot in frustration, but her delicate demeanor couldn't falter. Seeing Arthur approaching, she quickly plastered on a warm, amiable smile. "It's so late now.

If she died, it wouldn't matter. But Aaron still had to go on living.

If only Matthew hadn't lost his memory. Matthew had been so good to her and Aaron, and now he was so wealthy.

If he hadn't lost his memory, he would easily give her millions. To save Aaron, he wouldn't even blink an rye at giving her a hundred million. But alas, that was a mere pipe dream.

Matthew, who had been her constant companion and shared life and death with her, was no longer the same person he was in the past. The last time she went to him for a loan, the price was one of her little fingers. Willow instinctively cradled her left hand. The stump where her finger used to be would still occasionally throb with pain. How could she let such agony befall her precious Aaron? If his limbs were chopped off, Aaron's life would be ruined forever!

A series of rapid knocks suddenly sounded at the door. Willow numbly walked to It. Through the peephole, she saw Nicola.
