Chapter 352
Zoe gave herself a moment before responding, “I’m on my period!”“I’m aware of that,” he said, watching her closely. “Is this all there is for us? Sex? Are we doing it just so you can get pregnant again?”He decided he’d just put everything on the table, so they could have an honest conversation.Whipping her head up, she stared at him. The tears in her eyes told him just how much she was forcing herself to do it with him, but she had to. Her lips were trembling when she tugged at his sleeves with her lean fingers. At the next moment, he said in a husky voice, “It's been years since we saw each other. Has it ever occurred to you that we should get to know each other all over again? At least, I feel the need to take it slow before we do it.”He had never been like this in the past. He might’ve made a big deal about it, but she knew he was just making up excuses for them to be spending some alone time. After all, a servant could pop into the kitchen anytime in this hour.So, she

What did he thank her for?It took her a while to understand that he thanked her because she didn’t teach Yanni to hate him. Instead, she allowed their little girl to get close to him. All of a sudden, she felt a lump in her throat.Her voice was soft when she said, “I told you when I left. I wanted to teach her how to love people and live a happy life.” She added, “Yanni’s my daughter. She’s not a tool I use for my own interests.”Mason remained quiet after that. He merely sat in the car with a stern expression on his face. Yanni saw it, cupped his face, and said adorably, “Give me a smile, Dad!”He responded by flashing her a gentle smile, which brought a grin to her face too. He saw her teeth and thought that they looked exactly like Zoe when she was a little girl.Then, he felt a lump in his throat too. If only he had stayed loyal to Zoe in the past, then he would’ve had a happy life with his family. He wouldn’t have to ‘share’ her with another man.He broke the silence and

Mason bore a grudge towards Zoe. So, he wasn’t exactly eager to spend time with Zoe after he came back from Hucksburgh. On the other hand, she stayed out of his way whenever he came over to hang out with Yanni. At first, he found it distasteful. However, he paused and thought that she loved Farley now. Any and all sexual relationship she had with him was just so she could get pregnant with his baby.It had nothing to do with love. The more he thought about it, the more he kept a distance from her. Aside from their mutual love for their little girl, there was virtually nothing left between them now.Soon, the weekend arrived.Mason stood by the window and looked downward from his office on the top floor of Lockwood Corporation. The building looked like it caught fire by the orange glow from the evening light in the middle of autumn.He was spacing out when he received a call from Zoe. She said briefly, “Do you have the time to do it?”Instead of responding to her immediately, h

However, it didn’t stop him at all. It took him less than a minute to thrust into her. Leaning in close to her ear, he began talking dirty in his husky voice, “Tell me. How do you like it now? What do I have to do to satisfy you?”She couldn’t see him but could make out their contours from the window. He was holding her from the back and wearing a somber expression. Any lady would’ve been turned on by just a glance at this tempting sight.All she could do was take it as he slid into her over and over again.They finished by the window. Then, he swooped her up and carried her to the bedroom. He pinned her on the bed and went for another round, unleashing all of the lust and love he had stored for three long years into her.This time, he didn’t do it gently with her. Instead, he was rough and feral.By the time they were done, they had had several rounds with each other. In the dark bedroom, both of them panted heavily before settling into a steady breathing. Turning his head to t

Both of them were overwhelmed with such intense emotions at that moment. They hadn't even experienced such a strong feeling even when gripped in the most electric moments.Tears filled Zoe’s eyes as she felt both her love and hatred for him rising in her chest. Then, they started falling one by one, only to have Mason licking all of them up.His voice was so husky when he said, “Do you still hate and love me at the same time?”Turning her head to the side, she refused to answer his question.Realizing that she wasn’t going to reply, he pressed himself against her and started grinding against her body. Fixing his gaze on her, he watched closely for any reaction she might exhibit. He was eager to find any and all signs pointing to the possibility that she still had feelings for him, just as she did in the past.However, she didn’t react to any of his moves. Rolling over, he decided to call it quits and lay down next to her, but he still rested one of his arms on her. Burying h

She might’ve done it for Yanni, but the fact was that they had been married for a few years back then. They learned all about sex from each other and no one else. No amount of hatred could erase the sultry nights they spent exploring each other’s bodies.The fact that they had sex again tonight was no help, either.Standing by the bed, he remained quiet as he watched her putting on her clothes. She didn’t bother to do it elsewhere either. After all, he had seen all there was to see. She simply didn’t have to be embarrassed about it. Just as she was about to leave, she saw that his collar was slightly crooked. Walking over, she fixed it out of habit. He caught her hands abruptly and fixed a profound gaze on her before asking her, “Is this how you straightened up his clothes as well?”Who was he talking about?She didn’t even have a chance to answer him before he released his grip and made a beeline to the elevator. He must’ve misunderstood something. Pondering on it, she knew

Yanni was wearing the patient’s gown in the VIP ward at Lockwood Hospital. She was sleeping soundly on a pink bed. Her face was red from the fever. The doctors hooked her up to an IV drip. The transparent solutions in the IV bag titrated drop by drop.Dr. Zara finally arrived. She shared Yanni’s medical records with the medical team at Lockwood Hospital. After a brief discussion, the assistant director said softly, “I say we do a biopsy. That’ll give us a clearer picture of what we’re dealing with here! What’s your take on this, Mr. Mason?”Then, he looked at Zoe.She crumbled as soon as she heard what the assistant director said. They would’ve seen her crying right there and then if she hadn’t covered her mouth. Then, she dived into the small room within the ward.After a brief moment, Mason followed her into the room. She was standing by the window when he came in. She knew it was him by the sound of the footsteps alone. Overwhelmed by raw emotions, she said, “She’s only four y

He hadn’t been a good enough father to Yanni!The smoke started to sting his eyes, causing tears to well up in his eyes. He didn’t even dare to think if something bad really happened to Yanni. How painful would it be for his baby girl? How would Zoe take it?Forgiveness seemed like a luxury now.All he wanted was for them to be safe and sound. Dawn had just broken when he made a trip to the Beacon of Hope Church. It was an ancient church in the mountains. The place was kept pristine and not a speck of dust could be found.He wasn’t a religious man, but he knelt and prayed for four straight hours, in an attempt to secure a miracle. He ran into a priest who was praying when he was about to descend the mountain. The priest pointed at him and mocked him, “No amount of prayer or donations is going to wash your sins away. The only way you can redeem yourself is by paying your debts in blood!”Then, the priest continued to murmur when he walked away, “There are countless unfaithful m
