Chapter 414
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

Mason smiled bitterly. “What else can we do?”Pulling at the back of her head, he stared at her profoundly. Both of their bodies were shivering uncontrollably. It had nothing to do with their lust. Instead, it was about their strong feelings for each other. They might’ve known each other for more than a decade, married for several years, went through several bittersweet split-ups and reconciliations, and made a couple of babies together, but they’d never bared their souls in this way ever before.His eyes were full of lust when he looked at her, but he suppressed them before leaning into her ears. “I want you to live a happy life.” His tone was similar to that of a lover as well as family.Zoe was still shivering all over. Raising her head, she looked at him. The light above shone on her, accentuating her fair, rosy cheeks. He loved looking at her when she was like this. She said to him in tears, “How am I supposed to be happy? Tell me, Mason. What makes you think I can be happy
Chapter 421
Jorge wasn’t aware that Zoe had a high fever. So, he left as soon as he sent Zoe back to her apartment.Her return to Brookesville was both short-term and decided at the last moment. She didn’t hire a servant or maid, which meant the house was vacant, and felt a little lonely. She had no intention of eating or drinking. Instead, she straightaway lay down on her soft, comfy bed.Then, she started thinking about Mason. She recalled their past history and mulled over their future. After some time, she dozed off and had a dream.She was back to being eighteen years old again. That was the first time something stirred in her heart when she saw Mason.…There was a huge party at the Lockwood Manor. She attended the party with Mia. She was just eighteen years old, but she was already an outstandingly beautiful girl. Lisa favored her and treated her kindly back then.The party had just been going on for half an hour when she had her first period. She was a late bloomer, so she was caug
