Chapter 248
The party for the opening ceremony came to an end. Zoe thanked every guest for coming as they filed out of her dessert spot. She did some stock-taking before saying goodbye to Ella. Needless to say, Ella could tell that something was wrong with them and she was quite worried.Smiling faintly, she said, “It’s fine! All couples bicker sometimes!”Then, she sent her friend into the cab and watched as they left. Crossing her arms, she headed to the parking lot.The wind blew past her in the night.She was still thinking about how she should face him later!Mason drove the black Bentley tonight. He was smoking in the car. Wisps of grey smoke shot out of his mouth and got scattered by the wind, making him look a little cold and alone.Getting into the car, she lowered her head and was about to buckle in when he snuffed out his cigarette and leaned over, “Allow me.”“I can do it myself!” She had just uttered the words, but he had already gripped her hands. They were so close to each

However, she shed her tears for another man. Leaning back on his seat lightly, he lowered his gaze and smirked at himself. He was feeling quite good about himself for the whole day while his wife was disheartened because she couldn’t be with another man! It’d always be her biggest regret not ending up together with Cecil.She didn’t love him because she had given her heart to Cecil. Her heart was already taken. That was why she didn’t have room for him.He could honestly say that he had been nothing but good to her recently!He knew she liked to be treated gently and that was what he did. He had never forced himself on her ever since they were remarried. He dared say that both of them wanted it when they had sex every time! If she was even slightly uncomfortable with it, he’d hold himself back.He was trying to pleasure her and make her feel happy. He was trying to be there for her! However, it turned out that he was merely patting himself on the back because none of it mattered

The party in the private room was still going strong.Gregory was there as well. His friendship with Mason was strained due to his feelings for Zoe. He couldn’t be bothered to greet him. It was midnight and the other guys in the private room had left. However, Mason was still leaning back on the couch, smoking with a blank face. The ashtray before him was filled to the brim with cigarette butts.Gregory gave him a sidelong glance and smirked, “What’s the matter? Trouble in paradise? What brought you here to drown your sorrows in alcohol? “I guess it makes sense. Not so easy being the simp, huh? Zoe spent a long time trying to please you these past few years. Now, it's your turn to feel how she felt.”Snorting, Mason said, “We’re just fine!” Then, he leaned over and snuffed the cigarette, “It’s much better than coveting something you could never have! Give up on her, Gregory!”On the other hand, Gregory very much wanted to piss him off. “Really? I think it’s still too early to t

Mason chose to let her see his white shirt in this condition. What was he trying to tell her?Was he hinting at her that he was starting to not take their marriage seriously? Or, was he trying to assert his freedom?In any case, she chose to ignore it. Rinsing the white shirt, she put some detergent on it and started to rub and wash it. As she cleaned the shirt, the smell of perfume and the lipstick were gone as well, as if nothing happened last night.The white shirt looked as good as new.She was about to take it to the dryer when he took it from her and tossed it in the bin. Glancing at it quietly for a few seconds, she raised her eyes to meet his gaze.He was tall and had a firm physique. His black hair was tousled as well, looking charming in the early morning. She couldn’t help but wonder about something. Mason had such a tantalizing body. Was it possible he rolled in the sack with a lady last night?However, she couldn’t be bothered to ask him. Looking into her eyes, he

Mason was already dressed nicely while Zoe was still sitting on the sink.She felt cold all over.She knew his character all too well and she was sure he wouldn’t let her off easily. However, if someone asked if she regretted telling him about it, she’d say firmly that she didn’t regret it.The fact was, she couldn’t regret it!He pushed her to the brink of collapse. At that point, she didn’t have enough wits about her to lie. At that moment, she looked like a mess while he looked impeccable!Leaning on the wall, he had a cigarette between his lean fingers. Wisps of grey smoke lingered in the restroom and blurred their vision a little.His voice was slightly husky when he asked, “When did it happen?”Her nightgown was a mess. She shielded herself with her arms, but it didn’t make her feel warm at all. Her face was devoid of color as well.Staring at him for a long time, she said slowly, “It was back when Ella had the accident. I thought about being together with him then! How

Ava got out of the car with suitcases in her hands.Then, the bedroom door opened. It was Mason.Wearing formal attire, his dashing face revealed a suppressed lust. She didn’t see any traces of the ruthlessness he exhibited last night. Under her stare, he walked over to her, grabbed the paper, and asked casually, “Did you see it?”She remained quiet.Putting down the newspaper, he smirked, “That’s right! You don’t care!” Then, he walked toward the door. She said softly, “What do you want, Mason?”Turning around slowly, he wore a blank expression when he stared at her. His voice was cold when he said, “What do you think it is that I want, Zoe?”She responded quietly, “If you love Gabriela, I’m more than okay to end our marriage so you can be with her officially! Instead, what are you doing with her now? You’re giving her some semblance of hope which you’re going to snuff out eventually. Don’t you think that’s cruel?”Sneering, he said, “How high and mighty! When did you becom

It was Sunday afternoon. The outdoor party was held on the lawn outside their manor. Aside from Mason’s guests, Zoe also invited several friends over. Rosemary was one of them. She even brought over Farley.The last time he saw her, he was amazed by her glorious appearance. Looking at the private party, he was astounded by her capability this time. He brought a bottle of champagne with him and said regretfully, “I’m surprised to learn that you remarried Mason again. That means I’ve missed out on you twice!”His honesty was refreshing to her, instead of annoying her.Smiling faintly, she said, “You’re too kind, Farley.”He was a smart man. He could tell she wasn’t happy with her marriage. Mason was engaged in a business conversation while Gabriela held his arm, acting like she was the mistress of the manor.Averting his gaze, he said to her after a brief pause, “My invitation from when we first met still stands, Zoe. Should you change your mind and want to start a business in Sil

Lowering his head, he looked at Gabriela. He held her waist and carried her up. He brushed past Zoe and said in a cold tone, “See to our guests, Zoe!”It was an afternoon in spring. The sun was shining bright, but Zoe didn’t feel a shred of warmth. Her husband had humiliated her and made her look bad in front of their guests. It was a good thing she didn’t invite Ella to this party. Otherwise, she just might pick a fight with him here and now.The party guests started murmuring among themselves.Everyone was wondering if Zoe could hold on to her status as Mason’s wife. His choice was obvious from his earlier reaction.That was when Rosemary raced over and said in a fit of rage, “Gabriela has stepped over the line! She disgraced herself, trying to hold onto a married man!”Smiling bitterly, Zoe said, “It takes two to tango! She isn’t the only one at fault here! If Mason hadn’t given her the chance, she wouldn't be able to get close to him.”Rosemary’s heart broke for her. Then,
