Chapter 412
There were no secrets between them, he thought to himself. David pulled the car over after he drove through an intersection. Leaning over, he looked at Zoe quietly and asked her point blank, “Are you thinking about him?”She wasn’t about to admit to it. So, she responded swiftly, “That’s not it!”All of a sudden, she heard a soft clicking sound. The next thing she knew, he unbuckled himself and leaned close to her, seemingly trying to kiss her. The thing was, human bodies react most honestly when they react out of pure instinct. Just as his lips were about to close on hers, she raised her hands and blocked him. The simple gesture stopped him from kissing her altogether.Zoe herself was dumbfounded. It was perfectly common for couples to kiss one another, but she instinctively avoided taking that step with him. Raising her head, she felt a little unsure of herself.He was very close to her now. In fact, they were so close that they could feel each other’s breaths. Under norm
Chapter 413
“I drafted up the agreement as a joke, Zoe! The truth is, I never loved you!” …These memories were so overwhelming that they were suffocating her. Raising her head slightly, she tried to fight back her tears. At that moment, it started to drizzle. The raindrops drenched her clothes, but she paid them no mind. In fact, she needed the chilling rain to put out the anxiety in her heart.Then, she started walking in the rain. Eira’s words were stuck on a loop in her mind. “Do you honestly think Mr. Mason would ever love another lady? Do you really think he’s the kind of man who’d abandon his kids just to be with another woman?”All of a sudden, she stopped in her tracks. There was a high-end bridal boutique by the street. Looking through the glass, she could see a pretty lady trying on her wedding dress. There was a young man next to her too. They were so intimate and close to each other that they could only be a couple. However, Zoe was stunned by the sight. It was as if so

The sales assistant served them two cups of coffee, but Zoe didn’t drink a drop of it. Instead, she trained her gaze at Gabriela. Gabriela collected her thoughts and spoke, her eyes staring off into the distant past, “Back then, it was Ava who got in touch with me at the beginning. She said that Mason wanted to make a deal with me.”She raised her cup of coffee and took a sip, her lean fingers were shaking slightly.By the time she spoke again, she was smiling bitterly. “I hated him very much back then. There was no way I’d help him in any way. However, Ava made an offer I couldn’t possibly refuse. Apparently, Mason was going to give me a project that was worth billions of dollars. I could’t possibly turn down such an offer!“Then, Ava brought me to the hospital to sign the contract. That’s when I saw him. He looked so… Well, he certainly looks better now than when I first saw him. It was awful. He was just lying on the bed quietly. He couldn’t even move a finger.“Do you know wh

Cecil had just left. He told Mason that he was still improving on the formula for the latest medicine he had developed and that he wanted him to keep fighting. Needless to say, Mason would never give up. However, it was also true that he didn’t have any idea how long would it take for his right hand to restore its full functions. For that matter, he didn’t know how long he still had to sit in this damned wheelchair.No one had an answer for that. He was in a foul mood. The servants had never dared to disturb him, but tonight was different. He heard the subtle sound of a car pulling into the yard. Then, a flurry of footsteps came from the stairs. At the next moment, Layla was pounding on the poor. “She’s back, Mr. Mason!”At first, he thought she meant Lisa. So, he responded lightly, “Have her wait for me in the dining hall. I’ll be there soon.”However, Layla didn’t respond to him.Frowning, he was about to wheel himself to the door, but someone opened it gently. It was Z

Mason didn’t push her away, but he didn’t keep kissing her either. Underneath the light, he stared at her gloomily. She was wet from head to toe, her clothes clung to her curvature, revealing her darling and seductive figure.Needless to say, he was turned on by her.However, he forbade himself from acting on his desires. She was still hugging him longingly when he caught her wrists and pressed on them with his chest. Then, he started to caress, fondle, and grope her.He was very rough with her.The way he was treating her now was akin to the way he treated the whores out on the street. Realizing she was getting turned on by his touches, he seized the opportunity and whispered nastily in her ear, “Are you getting turned on? Do you know what it’s like to have sex with a paraplegic? You’ll have to take the lead throughout the entire process and you’re in charge of cleaning up afterward because I simply can’t do it!“Knowing this, do you still want to do it? If you’re fine with it,
Chapter 417
Zoe kept mumbling in a trance, “I didn’t, Mason. I didn’t do it with him!”Holding the cup of herbal tea in her hand, Layla couldn’t help but to nag again, “Look what you’ve done to poor Zoe! She was passed out, but she’s still trying to prove to you that she’s loyal to you!”Looking at the door, he ordered, “Get out of here and bring Ava to me when she’s here.”That was when Layla caught herself and stopped talking. About half an hour later, Ava came to the manor with the doctor. It was still raining outside. She didn’t dare ask about it on the phone earlier. Now that she finally saw Zoe with her own eyes, she was shocked to the core, but she kept quiet about it and didn’t say anything unnecessary.On the other hand, it took the female doctor one glance to know what was going on. She gave Zoe an injection and said with a blank expression, “You can’t have sex with her when she has a high fever! You need to be more careful with it in the future. She could very well die from it.”

Zoe looked at him, gobsmacked. Moments later, she said in a husky voice, “We didn’t do it all the way through, Mason.”“We had sex!”Wheeling himself toward her, he said tenderly, mirroring the quieted storm outside the window, “We might not have done it all the way through, but we did have sex. That means you stand a chance of getting pregnant again.”At the next moment, he handed her the bottle of pills. Taking it with a trembling hand, she lowered her head and looked at the all-too-familiar bottle and the writings on it. Just like that, she was thrown back to the past…After a long time, she looked at him. Her voice was gentle, but firm when she said, “I’m no longer the old me who you can push around, Mason! Yeah, we had sex, but I reserve the right to make the call if I want to take the pills!“What gives you the right to force me to take the pills? Who are you to me, aside from an ex-husband and someone I had casual sex with?” With that, she threw the bottle of pills into
Chapter 419
It was clearly showing signs of wear and tear, but Mason couldn’t bear to throw them away and kept them in here instead.Picking them up, she stared at them quietly. All of a sudden, something pulled at her heartstrings and she completely fell apart.He said in no uncertain way that she wasn’t the only lady in the world and that he could learn to love another lady!He also claimed that he’d much rather find an ordinary lady and get married to her!He was blatantly lying to her when all signs pointed to him having lived alone the past couple of years, all because of his broken body. She’d even go so far as to say he planned to live in solitude for the rest of his life.He wanted her to start a new life with someone else while he himself rotted in their old manor. That was all of it and yet he still had the gall to lie about his feelings for her. Strong waves of emotion flooded Zoe and caught her off guard! All of their past, both the good and the ugly, drowned her out!Her min
