Chapter 329
Mason lost his cool immediately. Stunned, he trained his gaze at the conference table. After a brief moment, he asked softly, “Where did she fly off to?”Ava responded, “Silvercrest!”Silvercrest…If memory served him right, Farley stayed in Silvercrest and he was rather fond of Zoe. In fact, he tried to hit on her. Raising his head slightly, he faced the top management staff as well as the shareholders and said in a restrained voice, “I’m sorry! We’ll have to suspend the meeting.”Everyone in the conference room began muttering. Mason was a through-and-through workaholic. Nothing had ever dissuaded him from work. So, some of them started gossiping when he stood up from his seat. “His wife probably left him! No one else had ever managed to make Mr. Mason lose his composure, after all.”Even the veterans of the company sighed and said, “He might be great at running businesses, but the same couldn’t be said when it comes to his family.”…Mason returned to the office and s

Mason didn’t try to search for Zoe after she left the city. It was just like what he told Ava. He’d set her free and let her live life the way she wanted to. Eventually, he got used to life without her and his baby. He just had to go through life without any news about them. Sometimes, he thought Zoe could be quite heartless to leave him, just like that.Time flew. Spring and summer were gone. Then, autumn came and the leaves turned a golden hue. Mason was working in his office at Lockwood Corporation. The afternoon light cascaded on him through the window, highlighting his divine features.Then, he heard the sound of his office door opening. It was clearly Ava, so he asked nonchalantly without raising his head, “I have a golf game with Lucius at four in the afternoon. Are there any changes?” However, Ava remained quiet. Instead, she strolled on straight to her and laid down a manila envelope before him. Raising his eyes, he stared at her. After a brief moment, something ca

Three years went by and Mason was having dinner with a lady at The One Gourmet, one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city. She holds the position of an assistant director in an investing company. At the same time, she was also the only daughter of the director of a group company.Her name was Ramona García.She liked him a lot. So, she asked him out in the name of business and had a dinner date with him. Arriving at the restaurant, he noticed the romantic vibes of the place and the overtly sexy dress Ramona was wearing. It was obvious what she was trying to do here.However, he didn’t call her out on it.He ate his dinner and talked about the details of their collaboration, not interested in her provocative dress in the least. He was like a devoted monk, who was unmoved in the face of temptation.Some time had passed and the lady started to get impatient. Holding a glass of red wine in her hands, she flashed him a tantalizing smile. “Now that we’re done with business, le

Zoe knew what was on Rowena’s mind. She smiled gently and said, “Thank you kindly, Ms. Rowena! How about this? Your dinner with Mr. Mason is on the house. Please, enjoy your meal.” With that, she left graciously.Rowena was still upset over it, though. It took her a while to compose herself. “How does she know our names, Mason?”His gaze was still locked on Zoe. After a brief moment, he said with a blank face, “That’s my ex-wife.”She was rooted to the spot at what he said.…Water kept flowing out of the golden faucet in the restroom. Zoe was pressing down on her heart gently. It was still pounding like crazy to this moment. She might’ve prepared herself for the moment, but seeing Mason in the flesh still turned her legs to jelly. The painful memories of the past washed over her like a rogue wave.After a long time, she calmed down. She was about to wash her hands when she found herself staring into the eyes of a man in the mirror.Then, she was stunned. Mason was leani

It started raining when he drove home. Switching on the wipers, he watched as the raindrops fell on his windshield, blurring the neon lights in the city. The night grew darker. Mason drove for another five minutes when he saw a white Maserati pulled over by the side of the road. A lady was opening the hood of the car with an umbrella in her hand. She took a look at the engine and went back to her car.It was Zoe.Stepping on the brakes lightly, he pulled over by her car. Then, he looked at her across the car window. She was panicking, unsure of what to do. It looked like she was searching for something, probably a business card.After a long time, she raised her head and noticed him. Both of them locked gazes, but no one uttered a single word. It seemed as if they were thrown back to the tragic split a few years ago and couldn’t pull themselves out of it.Raindrops rolled down their windows, reminiscent of the tears shed by heartbroken lovers. Much time had passed when he got

They were both mature adults. Some things were better left unsaid.…Half an hour later, Mason had pulled over at her apartment. The rain hadn’t let up. There was a hint of sexual tension in the car. After all, they used to be married. They had slept with each other countless times and did a lot of crazy stuff together. All of those were seared into their memories. She broke the silence. “Thanks for giving me a ride. I'll be going now.” She was about to unbuckle her seat belt when he held her hands firmly. Blinking slowly, she said angrily, “Let me go, Mason!”Staring at her, there was a profound urge lurking in his eyes. It was the kind of look that only a mature lady could understand. It was none other than his intense lust to make her his right now, both physically and mentally.Zoe’s breath became ragged. She tried breaking free but she couldn’t. Mason held a firm grip over her with ease. It wasn’t as if he wanted to force anything, he was merely making sure she cou

Zoe’s heart sank when she heard what Yanni said.Taking off her coat, she sat next to her daughter and rubbed her head. “Were you a good girl today? Did you take your pills?”She turned on the night light, casting a warm glow in the room. Yanni buried her face into the pillow listlessly. Her cheeks were fair and her hair was as black as coal. She looked beautiful and graceful. Then, she said softly, “Grandma gave me the pills! They tasted bitter.”Zoe's heart could just break. Holding Yanni’s cheeks, she said, “You’ll stop having nosebleeds once you go through the surgery. You won’t have to take any more pills either.”Yanni nodded in response.Leaping into Zoe’s arms, she said, “I miss Dad, Mom! Deborah said I’ll be seeing Dad soon. Is it true? She also told me that you’re going to make another baby with Dad.”That stunned Zoe. Deborah must’ve overheard her exchange with the doctor and told Yanni about Mason. She wasn’t pleased with it. Perhaps it was time she had a talk wit

After a long time, a strong smell of ammonia lingered in the bedroom. Mason was breathing rapidly. He turned to the side as the unsatisfied feeling coursed through all over his body. His lust hadn’t abated at all!Instead, he felt hollow. He longed to hug Zoe in his arms and have his way with her fair, delicate body. He wanted to be held tightly by her so he could feel her warmth. The longing in him was so intense that his body started aching.After the feeling subsided a little, he rolled off the bed and headed to the bathroom for a cold shower.…Yanni had another nosebleed the next morning.Worried about her condition, Zoe brought her to a doctor she knew. Cecil had recommended Doctor Zara to her and said that her medical skills and character were top-notch. So, Yanni had been receiving treatments with this doctor ever since they moved back to Brookesville.After the examination, Zara said softly, “Please let her do the surgery as soon as you can.” Then, she patted her head
