All too late for his love

Zayn smirked disdainfully. His handsome face was now filled with maliciousness. "Willow, you have a month to pay off the money. Otherwise, I make sure the whole world knows just how filthy you are."

He turned away ruthlessly. Then, as if remembering something, he slowly turned back. He looked down the limping Aaron like he was looking at a despicable worm.

"And this cripple... Willow, you better control him. If he annoys me, I won't hesitate to make him die again." With those words, Zayn left without a trace of remorse and slammed the door of Willow's apartment shut.

Willow's face turned extremely ugly. Hearing others call Aaron a cripple didn't bother her as much. But Zayn was Aaron's biological father. How could he call their son a cripple?

A sharp pain engulfed her heart, causing her stomach, which hadn't hurt in days, to convulse uncontrollably.

Seeing Aaron's pale face, Willow forgot about her own pain and pulled him into a tight embrace. "Aaron..."

"Mom... Aaron's voice trembled. "I know I'm a cripple, but it still hurts so much when he says it."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Aaron..." Willow wanted to comfort him, but at that moment, she couldn't find the right words to ease his pain.

Being called a cripple by his biological father was a pain she couldn't imagine. What could she do to ease his suffering?

"Mom, is he really my dad?" After a long time, Aaron's voice, tinged with obvious trembling, echoed in the air.

"No, he's not my dad. I don't have a dad. My dad died a long time ago. He died in my heart when I fell off the cliff."

"Aaron." Willow couldn't contain the pain in her heart any longer. She used all her strength to hug Aaron tightly.

"Aaron, we don't need him. We don't need him at all. I'll take good care of you. We'll only be better."

"Yeah, I just need you." Aaron's face lit up with a bright smile. "Actually, God is fair. Although I don't have a dad, I have the best mom in the world. I'm so glad."

Willow's tears fell even more fiercely at those words. However, she didn't want Aaron to see her weakness, so she quickly turned her face away.

Aaron loved her. He thought she was the best mother in the world. But she knew she wasn't good.

She couldn't even accompany him as he grew up. She wasn't a good mother.

Aaron was an optimistic child. He didn't want to be tainted by any pessimistic emotions, so he tried to make himself smile brightly.

"Mom, you promised me earlier that you'd take me to buy toys after dinner. Can we go now?"

"Sure." Willow quickly changed into a different outfit. Smiling brightly, She said, "Let's go, Aaron.”

Willow wanted to buy Aaron some clothes as well, so she took himm directly to a malt in the city center. As she held Aaron's hand, they entered a children's clothing store.

She saw a cute on. But when she turned around, she

had E

little suit and was about to pick it up for him to realized that Aaren, who been standing quietly beside her, was nowhere to be seen.
