Chapter 216
Willow knew if she dodged Zayn’s question again today, she could kiss peace goodbye.
With a calm gaze, she stated, “Mr. Carter, I’m marrying Mr. Dawson, I made a vow, and I’m sticking to it. Nothing’s tearing us apart, come what may.”
Thinking of Kenan’s cold ashes and his parting words delivered by Quintus, Willow’s heart throbbed with pain so fierce that it threatened to consume her.
There’d never be another man like Kenan in this world. He must’ve been one such a nice guy to wish her well on his deathbed.
The intense pain fueled Willow with unwavering resolve, and she shoved Zayn away. She wasn’t lingering a moment longer. Clutching her clothes, she stormed into the fitting room.

But now, seeing Willow standing proudly in front of the mirror like a blooming flower, they realized just how wrong they had been.
At that moment, it was clear: this dress was the most perfect one in the entire store.
After Willow got sick, she lost a lot of weight, but none of it seemed to come from where it mattered
most.
It was as if each pound lost honed in on that slender middle. Her waist was incredibly slim; it wasn’t an

The semi–transparent cape draped over her, teasingly concealing and revealing, adding to the allure that. begged to be unraveled just to uncover the truth about her remarkably narrow waist.
Was it truly as small as it seemed, capable of driving anyone to madness with desire?
Matthew’s face mirrored sheer amazement, tinged with a hint of possessiveness. A sudden impulse seized him–to keep Willow all to himself, shielded from the prying eyes of other men.
But before he could act on this instinct, Wilhelmina’s sweet voice whispered in his ear.
“Matt, that wedding dress on Willow is just breathtaking! I’m absolutely smitten with it! Matt, could you do me a favor? Get it for me, and imagine me in that dress, becoming your most beautiful bride ever.
