Chapter 360
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

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

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

Instead, Eira decided to pressure Zoe. “I just can’t forget the moment you tossed the two thousand dollars on the floor all those years ago.”Smiling faintly, Zoe said, “Why, you’re welcome.”What she said made Eira very upset. However, Eira composed herself the next minute. Reaching out, she played with her hair deliberately, attempting to display her sensuality and seductiveness. “Don’t you want to know my history with Mr. Mason?”At this moment, Zoe was frustrated with her games. Stirring the coffee, she said nonchalantly, “You said so yourself. It's history! Is there a need to recount old tales? With that said, I seem to recall that Mason was still married to me back then! “Let’s just say you did do something unseemly with him, that’d make you the bad guy of the story. How do you figure you can brag about it?” Then, she continued in a bleak tone, “If I tell Mason about our conversation, you’ll lose your job instantly!”Eira was here to debrief her work, but it had always be

Time seemed to stand still and everything in the world fell into silence. Both of them were panting rapidly, eager to take things to another level. Now, everything seemed to have frozen. The only thing that remained untouched was what Mason just said.“I'm a jerk who loves you.”Tears filled Zoe’s eyes as she regarded him with a helpless stare and spoke in a trembling voice, “We can do a lot of things together, Mason, but we can never love each other ever again! If you had truly loved me, then why would you have the heart to hurt me over and over? How could you have sacrificed me more than once?!”All the pain he put her through was seared into her mind. She could try, but she’d never be able to forget it for the rest of her life!Mia tried to probe her. Her stepmother thought she’d change her mind and return to Mason again. What she said was true, he was very different. He was very thoughtful now.However, the pain he dealt her still seemed fresh and raw even to this day. She’d

Ella was wearing the ruby necklace on her neck. Clearly, she and Farley were a couple!He might’ve looked calm on the surface, but he was actually shocked to the core. It turned out that Zoe and Farley weren’t a couple. Instead, Ella was his girlfriend. That meant that Zoe was single.It was a huge deal, especially for him!He used to assume that Zoe was Farley’s girlfriend and even fantasized about them having sex together. That, in turn, made it hard for him to sleep with her because he couldn’t accept having to ‘share’ her with another man.Now, however, he felt an intense urge to have sex with her as soon as he could.Then, he got into his car. He might’ve been over thirty years old, but he was as impulsive and passionate as he was when he was a teenager. All he wanted to do now was go back to Kirk Manor and see Zoe at once.Luke was about to start driving when a slender silhouette blocked the car’s path. It was none other than Eira. Now that the car was paused, she sei
