Vanessa Willowb manipulated the dinner situation, alienating Willow Crawford. After Willow excused herself, Morgan Ashworth confronted her, questioning why she was ignoring him and making suggestive remarks. When Willow attempted to slap him, Morgan caught her hand, reminding her of their changed dynamic.

Willow Crawford tried to break free from him, "Morgan Ashworth, I haven’t provoked you at all; it’s you who’s been provoking me. How exactly have I offended you?"

Willow finally saw through his tricks. He had been doing it on purpose all along, even turning the tables on her.

Morgan looked at her, "Willow Crawford, how you’ve offended me, don’t you have any idea yourself?"

Willow shook her head, "No."

Morgan lowered his voice, leaning close to her ear as he spoke each word deliberately, "Willow, I hate you!"

He said, Willow, I hate you.

Willow’s heart trembled at this, not understanding the source of his hatred.

Morgan found it laughable; she actually didn’t understand why he hated her. It seemed that over the years, he was the only one who couldn’t let go.

"Willow, do you know how many times you’ve abandoned me? Have you ever counted it on your fingers? I still don’t understand what I mean to you. When you like me, you come near me, then inexplicably you dump me. Even when you were pregnant with our son, you still ruthlessly abandoned us both. For three years, you haven’t asked about us or even shown your face. Do you think I shouldn’t hate you?"

"Willow, you’re the coldest woman I’ve ever met. No matter how I’ve tried to keep you, you insist on leaving. Since you’ve left, don’t come back. Why are you back now? Just because you’re back, do I have to take you back? Do you plan to live off Morgan Ashworth for the rest of your life?"

"I’m telling you, no more. I, Morgan Ashworth, will not want you again. Whoever leaves can’t come back. I’m not just living for you. I will soon be married and have a brand new family. Other women will do better than you!"

At this moment, Willow saw the intense mix of love and hatred in his eyes. It turns out all his deliberate actions were because he hated her and wanted revenge.

That explained his unpredictable behavior.

However, she really didn’t understand why he hated her. She couldn’t remember any of the things he mentioned—none of those scenes existed in her memory anymore.

Had she really abandoned him multiple times?

Yes, she hadn’t been able to come back to see him and Joy for these three years. That was indeed her fault.

The past couldn’t be spoken of, nor did she know how to address it, so she chose to remain silent.

Her silence at this moment only further infuriated Morgan, his eyes blazing with a fire that seemed as if it could consume her, "Willow Crawford, don’t you have anything to say?"

What did he want to hear?

Willow opened her mouth, "If you’re still concerned about the past, then I apologize to you. I’m sorry."

Morgan’s heart sank to the bottom, "Willow, besides this ’I’m sorry,’ you have nothing else to say?"

Anything else?

Willow looked at him, "Rest assured, I won’t intrude on your current life. You can marry Miss Willow without any concerns. I wish you both a happy marriage."

Morgan suddenly narrowed his eyes, "..."

"But, Joy is your son, and he is my son too. I hope you can consider your son’s feelings. He has always hoped that Daddy and Mommy could be together, so he needs a transition period."

"I will slowly explain everything to our son so he can accept it, but you cannot force him to accept or like Miss Willow. Even more so, you cannot make him call her Mommy or anything like that. Miss Willow will only be your Mrs. Ashworth, not my son’s stepmother. My son has only me as his Mommy!"
