Chapter 357
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
Chapter 358
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

Ava was disheartened to hear what he said. She wanted to comfort him, but realized that she didn’t know where to begin. Time couldn’t wash away everything. Some wounds would never heal. Instead, they would fester and spread, killing everything around them. You wouldn’t be able to tell just by looking at the surface, but the rot had gone in deep.Mason asked her to step outside and give him some space. He lit a cigarette when he was alone, but he snuffed it out the next second. His mind traveled back to a specific moment when Zoe said to him in tears. “You don’t know how to love someone, Mason!”She was right!He didn’t know how to love someone in the past. Nothing mattered more than power and status to him. Family was nothing but an afterthought. It was something he wanted at the spur of the moment. Nothing more. However, he knew what it meant to love someone now. She might be with another man, but he made the will nonetheless. She’d inherit Lockwood Corporation if anything

She couldn’t help but sob. Walking over to her, he grabbed both of her shoulders and called out to her gently, “Zoe!”She didn’t want him to see her when she was this vulnerable. So, she turned her face to the side, but he pulled her into his arms. Not long after, his shirt was damp from Zoe’s tears. They had been separated for a long time and she had finally fallen apart. She finally cried her eyes out into his chest. He was someone she had both loved and hated. She was showing all of her vulnerability before him!He hugged her tightly, giving her the support she needed. At that moment, he’d even give his life to her if that was what she asked of him. He called out to her, “Don’t cry, Zoe. You’re breaking my heart.”Yanni was playing with a ball. She ran in and bumped into them hugging each other. Zoe realized it and immediately pushed him away hastily. Turning around, she straightened up herself and said in a husky voice, “I’m sorry! I lost my composure for a second ther
Chapter 362
An awkward silence hung over them. Lowering her head, she looked into his eyes. Truth be told, there was no lust in them. She’d even go so far as to say he looked serious and had his good sense about him tonight. After a brief moment, she responded gently, “Yeah. I stand a good chance of getting pregnant today and tomorrow!”They did need to have another baby as soon as possible. So, there was no room for being shy here. After some thought, she added, “Take a shower first. After that, we’ll…”Mason cut her off by swooping her up and walking towards the private lounge out there. She was concerned she might fall off, so she had her arms wrapped around his neck. She might’ve worn an indifferent expression on her face, but her mind raced back to the night they were married. He had carried her in his arms to the bedroom too. However, she looked timid back then. It was a shame he didn’t treat her gently. The walk couldn’t have been more than several steps, but he experienced all so

Mason didn’t say anything in response. Tightening his grip, he pulled her darling figure closer into his arms. He even started kissing the back of her ear and said in a husky voice, “I can see that. All I want is to give you a hug.”She smiled faintly at what he said. He was well aware of how cold she was toward him. Pressing against her tender body, he murmured, “Let’s be a real couple for the next year, at least!”Never had he thought he’d lower himself in the name of love. He stared at her intently, waiting for her response.Still smiling faintly, she responded, “Sure.”Then, he pinned her on the wall and started kissing her passionately. Taking off her pajamas, he intended to pleasure her and make her feel happy. At this moment, however, Yanni woke up in the bedroom. Rubbing her eyes, she sat upright. Still wearing the same cow print onesie, she groaned cutely, “I need to use the restroom!”His body stiffened immediately, but he was still pinning Zoe on the wall. There
Chapter 364
It was two in the afternoon. Zoe drove herself and Yanni to Lockwood Corporation. Sherry was in the car too. Her little girl had insisted on bringing it along.She parked the car and took both of them to the lounge. With the puppy in her arms, Yanni started running ahead of her and raced happily into the wide lounge. Eventually, Sherry crawled on the ground too. It probably knew this was its master’s company because it scampered around with its head held high. A lady wearing a pair of high heels appeared before them and grumbled coldly, “This is a place of work! So, why’s there a kid and a puppy running around? Where are the security guards? Why isn’t anyone taking the puppy away?”It just so happened that Zoe stepped into the lobby and bumped into Eira at the same moment. Eira was dumbfounded when she saw her. Then, she turned around, stared blankly at Yanni, and asked stiffly, “Is this your kid? The one you had with Mr. Mason?”Zoe ignored her and strolled towards Yanni. Tea
