Fion was annoyed when she heard that, but she really had no choice if Willow was threatening to never get in touch with Quill again.
She had to agree to it.
"Okay! But there has to be a deadline.
"I’ll give him at most... one month."
Fion sat down again. That was her compromise.
“Sure!”
Willow gritted her teeth, paused, and said, "I hope… you will treat him well during his final days in the Quinn Residence.
"At least don't humiliate and ridicule him as coldly as before."
Fion nodded in silence for a few seconds upon hearing this.
After Willow said all of that, as if she had collapsed from exhaustion, she leaned back against the sofa and stopped talking.
She had done everything she could do.
Willow would give up a peaceful life for Sean’s sake, even at her own expense.
‘Sean, no matter what…
‘I have a clear conscience with you.
‘But I’m still a woman, and there are some things I can't change,’ Willow thought to herself.
Willow stared blankly in space and looked up at the ceiling in a daze.
Fion looked at Willow's faint expression, and she could not bear it.
After all, Willow was still her flesh and blood.
"Willow, you need to know that Mom is doing this for your own good.
"It’s been two years… Can you not guess the way people will ridicule you?
"If you really marry him, have you ever thought about what your married life would be like?"
Fion slowed down and looked at Willow seriously.
"Well, as you said, you’re willing to take care of him. But are you still planning to go to work?
"If he’s rich, it's okay to say that you’ll be a full-time wife and take good care of him at home.
"But he’s extremely poor! So if you don't go to work, you’ll have no money or food!
"Is that kind of life really what you want?"
Willow fell into silence after Fion asked her those questions.
Sean had no money and could not work.
Therefore, if Willow wanted to live with Sean, she would have to bear the burden of their marriage on her weak shoulders alone.
However, she could not take care of Sean when she would be at work.
In this world, it was hard to make both ends meet.
Willow sighed in her heart.
"But it would be different if you married Young Master Zimmer.
"He’s rich and powerful. He’s a man whom many girls dream about having to themselves.
"If you marry him, you won't ever be wronged."
Fion’s tone once again eased a lot. She was persuading Willow to strike while the iron was hot.
She then fell into a daze as if thinking about something.
"Willow, do you really believe that Sean has six million?
"If he really had so much money, would he still need to suffer in our house?
