Chapter 166
Mia woke up. She saw Mason and moved to stand up. He walked briskly over and pressed down on her shoulders, “I’m leaving soon!” Opening the ward door, he left and closed it gently.Mia looked at Zoe and was about to say something, but she chose not to in the end.…Two days later, Gordon’s condition was stabilized. He could be discharged anytime. Then, Zoe got some good news. Rosemary gave her a call, speaking with her sophisticated tone, “I never knew you were really Aiden’s favorite mentee, Zoe! Here’s the thing. Terrence has a friend who’s insanely rich and looking for an excuse to spend his money. It just so happens that he loves classical music.“I tried my luck and asked him about it. Imagine my surprise when he said he agreed to invest in you guys. He was so decisive. My stingy husband couldn’t hold a candle to him.”Zoe was shocked at that, “Really? How much is he willing to invest?”Rosemary said casually, “Two hundred million dollars! Wouldn’t you say that this is jus

Stunned, Zoe tilted her head and saw that it was Leslie. He was a man who was about to get engaged and he looked so pumped in the video. However, that didn’t change the fact that he didn’t look too hot right now. His face was pale and his eyes were reddened.“Where’s Ella?” His voice was husky and he was gripping Zoe so tight that he hurt her.She slowly came back to her senses, looked at him, and said softly, “She was in her place at Brooksville when we talked on the phone last night. Aren’t you getting engaged, Leslie? Why are you still looking for her?”Releasing her, Leslie lit a cigar. A wisp of grey smoke started to rise. Flicking the cigar with his lean fingers, he spoke lightly, “I couldn’t get in touch with her since last night! It’s not like I don’t want to let go of her, Zoe, I just don’t want to miss out on her.”She murmured in a daze, “You’re about to get engaged, Leslie! Are you going to make Ella your mistress? Do you think your fiancee would let her go if you do it
Chapter 168
His voice was deep, but gentle. He talked to Zoe the way a husband and a lover would. He asked her to stop crying and said that he’d be back in Brookesville soon. On top of that, he’d arrange for some of his men to track down Ella.Much time had passed when Zoe stopped crying.Holding the phone, he listened to her light breathing, and couldn’t help but say softly, “I may have asked you to stop crying, Zoe, but I love it when you cry. I feel the urge to be meaner to you whenever you do. I want to hear you weeping while you wrap your arms around my neck. I want you to call out to my name gently and beg for me to—”She hung up on him abruptly. Hearing the beeping from the other end of the phone, he chuckled. Then, he made a phone call with the hotel phone and asked Ava to come over.Ava hadn’t even had the chance to rest before he asked her to do more work for him. She was seriously thinking if she should’ve asked for a raise.After knocking on the door, she went into his room and

Mason was a perceptive man. Moreover, he had sex with her for so many years. He knew best how to turn her on and he didn’t mind pleasuring her with his fingers.Zoe looked as fragile as she was beautiful when he pushed her to the precipice of pleasure but didn’t exactly give her what she wanted. It was such a shame that he couldn’t sate his own lust because he had to take her feelings into account.Now, however, she was almost in his embrace, shivering lightly. He knew she was wrestling with herself. She wanted to stop loving him but she couldn’t exactly do it. She wanted to cut their ties but she couldn’t resist his affection.The Sander family’s downfall had made her vulnerable and gave him an opening.Leaning in closer, he held her shoulder with one hand and petted the puppy with another. He spoke with such tenderness never heard before, “You’re looking forward to me fingering you! Did it feel that good?”She couldn’t help but turn her head away. The fact was that she had loved

Zoe clenched her fists on the way to the hospital. She didn’t ask Mason anything. The hallway in the hospital felt endless. She could almost hear a lady crying when she was walking down it. There was a trace of twisted sorrow in the lady’s voice. She recognized it, but it also felt as if she had never heard it before.She picked up her pace. She was about to open the door when Mason stood behind her and said with a hushed voice, “Nellie’s men ruined her right ear. We found her in an abandoned warehouse.”Tears welled up in her eyes and her hand, which was holding the door handle, started trembling uncontrollably. She didn’t open the door until after a long time.Leslie, as well as his fiancee, were already in the ward.Ella was sitting on the bed. She was so scrawny that it distorted her beauty. She wasn’t looking at Leslie and his fiancee, nor was she listening to what they were saying. That was because she couldn’t hear them.She looked like a husk of her former self. There

Leslie went back to the hospital in the middle of the night. Ella raised her head, saw that it was him, and proceeded to put her head between her legs. She was still terribly shaken and had no intention of being near him anymore.He gulped and left her ward. Striding across the empty hallways, the sound of his leather shoes striking on the floor was loud and crisp. He pushed open the window at the end of the hallway and let the wind rush at his face. It hurt, but it also chased away the scent of rouge.Then, he heard footsteps behind him and knew it was Mason. With trembling hands, he lit a cigar. The wisps of white smoke made a stark contrast against the dark of night, reminding him of his erotic moments with Ella.…He spoke with a bleak voice, “She took my breath away the first time I saw her. So, I used any means necessary to get her into my grasp, but I knew, deep down, I’d never marry her. That’s something I believe, even to this moment! I can’t marry her! It wouldn’t fit m

Zoe woke up in the morning and saw Mason right before her eyes.He was sleeping soundly on the couch, resting his head on one hand and wrapping her waist with another. The warmth from his palm was searing…His shirt was ruffled and his black long pants were untouched, but his belt was taken off.Checking herself, Zoe realized that her outfits were tidy, all things considered. However, she had a hunch that her bra was taken off. That was when she saw her black lace bra stuffed in the crack of the couch.She blushed immediately. It looked like she did have sex with Mason last night.Moving ever so slightly, she tried to move off the couch, but the hand around her waist tightened its grip and pulled her back. She was pinned on the couch and their bodies were pressed tightly against each other. They were both healthy adults, after all. It wasn’t such a crazy notion that they'd be aroused in each other's presence.The air seemingly fizzled with erotic vibes.Mason smacked her waist

The smile faded from Zoe’s face. The puppy licked her neck when she turned her head to the side in embarrassment, which tickled. She ducked several times and inadvertently buried her face in Mason’s neck. She said with a trace of affection, “Take it away, Mason.”He took the puppy, but he didn’t let go of her. Pressing against her, there was a hint of repressed lust in his eyes. He leaned in her ear and asked tenderly, “Will you be its mommy?”Her cheeks were as red as wine when she responded with a trembling voice, “I will not!”He kept himself pressed against her for a good while before he calmed down and released her. Straightening up his shirt and pants, he told her, “I have an important meeting in the afternoon! I’ll see you again tonight.”“I’m busy tonight.” Chuckling, he asked, “Are you going on a date? Is it with Cecil?”She didn’t feel the need to explain herself to him, but she still complied, “Rosemary recommended an investor to me! She says he’s an extremely c
