Chapter 169
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
Chapter 170
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
Chapter 171
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
Chapter 172
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

Rosemary agreed with her choices, so she ordered the waiter, “We’ll be having these! We have a guest and he’s about to arrive. So, please serve the food now.”The waiter nodded and left.Rosemary chatted with Zoe when they were alone, “Terrence was talking on the phone while I was on my way here. It looks like Leslie had a falling out with his fiancee because of your friend. “He had one-night stands with several minor celebrities on the night that he got engaged. His grandpa was very upset over it!”Sighing lightly, she continued, “As a matter of fact, that’s all there is to men! He might do everything, including putting his life on the line, when he’s trying to win your heart. “However, do you think you still have a place in his heart when things get better for him months later? It’s way better to secure wealth than rely on men.”That hit Zoe hard. Ella lost her hearing and sat in the hospital in deep sorrow for one long night. All that suffering amounted to nothing more than

Zoe felt disheartened, listening to him. She murmured, “If you could feel heartbroken for me, then how did we come to where we are today, Mason?”She felt miserable and refused to say anything further. Taking her purse, she was about to leave. Then, Mason leaned over and held her hands gently, “At least stay for dinner with me!”Shaking her head, she said softly, “It’ll never be appropriate for you to invest in me, Mason! Enjoy your dinner. I’m leaving.”He kept his hand over hers. It was hard to tell what was on his mind. It seemed he pondered on the situation for a long time when he finally took his coat and said, “I’ll give you a ride home!”He had always been assertive and wouldn’t take no for an answer. So, he took her out of the private room and into the black Bentley he parked outside. The moment he opened the car door to the passenger seat, there was a ball of white fur on the seat. It was Sherry!The little puppy was curled up into a ball, lying on the leather seat. It
Chapter 176
Zoe took a stroll on the stone pathway. There were more plants and vases in the garden, giving it an abundance of life even in winter. Her late mother’s painting was hung on the marble porch. The living room, however, was completely redone. The furniture was all changed but it retained the previous fashion. The carpets were changed as well. There was a giant mural behind the couch.In the painting, the skies were decorated with stars and a very young Zoe was sleeping in the tent in summer.She stared at it for a long time, only leaving the place when her eyes were tired. The snow was falling heavily by the time she came outside. Some of them fell on her eyelids akin to white feathers in the dark of night.One of the winter jasmines in the corner bent from the weight of the snow piled on top of it. Its yellow petals looked more tender and lovely in sharp relief against the white of the snow.…After Zoe left, Mason returned to the private room and ate dinner listlessly. Ava came
