Chapter 427
He should’ve been happy when she said she wouldn’t bother him anymore, but he found it a little disheartening all the same. Then, Zoe moved on from this topic altogether.Bending down, she closed the car door for him. She got quite close to him when she was doing it. In fact, she got so close that he could smell the sweet scent of formula off of Jamie as well as the faint odor of her perfume. It was a floral scent, the one she had always used in the past. Her tastes hadn’t changed. The scent was so sweet and fulfilling that it nourished Mason’s emaciated, hollowed out heart. At the same time, however, it also reawakened his dormant lust. He stared at her so profoundly that she felt as if he was boring right into her soul. Then, the car door closed and blocked their view. Smacking his hands together, Luke said, “It’s my duty to close the car doors for both you and Mr. Mason!”All of a sudden, it hit him. Zoe looked at ease when he put both of them in the same sentence. He wa

She came over, bent down and pushed Mason’s wheelchair as if it happened every day. She was also talking to Mason in a friendly way, “Aren’t you supposed to meet up with an important client, Mr. Mason? What are you doing back home?”Looking at Yanni, she said, “Who may this be…?”Yanni proceeded to stare at the beautiful doctor. She spent a long time staring at her taut, ample breasts. Now, kids weren’t known for keeping things inside them. So, it was only normal that the little girl called out to Mason loudly, “Dad!” before insisting on pushing him as well.Sherry hopped off the steps and went circles around Yanni, yapping happily. Its tail was curled all up the whole time. It wasn’t hard for Mason to guess what his little girl was doing. Smiling, he carried Sherry up and gave it to her, “Go ahead and play with Sherry!”Taking the dog, she wrapped her arms around her father’s neck before saying to the doctor, “Please wheel me along too.”Scarlett, the beautiful doctor, was st

Zoe turned and looked at Scarlett once her kids left. Scarlett had just started working in Lockwood Hospital a few years back. Moreover, she only ever worked in the rehabilitation department. So, it stood to reason that she had never seen Zoe before. This was the first time she had seen her. The summer was ending and Zoe wore a long shift dress. It highlighted her slender figure and gave rise to a sophisticated and graceful air about her. It was women’s nature to draw comparisons. Scarlett scanned Zoe and found herself feeling unsettled. Zoe was way too slender and beautiful for someone who had two kids. This charm about her could only be cultivated by living a refined, elegant life.Scarlett felt worse about herself and didn’t exactly hide it. Reaching out, she looked at Zoe and said purposefully, “Greetings, Ms. Zoe. I’m Mr. Mason’s private doctor. You can call me Scarlett. I stay in the manor now.”She was trying to assert dominance. Taking her hands, Zoe flashed her a fai

Layla and the other servants were particularly excited today. They poured their heart and soul into preparing lunch. Considering Yanni’s growth, they made creamy mushroom chicken with high-end ingredients and grilled it over the fire. The moment they served it on the dining table, the aroma was so captivating that it filled the entire dining hall. Scarlett also joined them for lunch. She took the seat Zoe usually sat in, probably because she needed to take care of Mason. However, Zoe let it slide. After all, she and Mason were divorced!Scarlett was very attentive and thoughtful. She scooped the food and put it on his plate. It seemed as if they got along fine and had their own routines already set. Clearly, the doctor had stayed in the manor for quite some time.That irked Zoe somewhat.The worst thing Scarlett did was when Yanni wanted to eat the thigh. The little girl was about to stab it with a fork, but she was faster and took the juicy thigh away before putting it on Mason

Mason stayed with his kids for half an hour before he called Deborah up to the room. Knocking on the door, she came in and saw that Yanni was sleeping with Jamie. Tip-toeing across the room, she asked softly, “Are they sleeping?”He stared at them with nothing but love and tenderness in his eyes. Moments later, he said lightly, “Look after them.”Deborah responded immediately, “Go ahead and do what you need to do, Mr. Mason. Leave the kids to me.”Mason’s face turned red. Wheeling himself, he exited the bedroom, but Zoe was nowhere to be seen. He searched for her for a good while before finding her in the guest room.She was leaning on the window, talking on the phone.It was afternoon and the sunlight shone into the room through the window, casting its brilliant rays on Zoe. Her skin was glowing and she looked at ease while she talked.It reminded Mason that she was as relaxed and happy as she was when she first parted ways with him years ago.Back then, she had talked to Lia

Mason sat in his wheelchair and watched as they left. All of a sudden, his mind traveled back to the moment in time when Zoe used to ask for one hundred thousand dollars from him timidly. Back then, he used to think she couldn’t stand on her own feet and had to rely on him for everything. Now, however, she was like a rose, beautiful but sharp. The evening light cast an orange, fiery glow across the entire sky, as if heaven itself was on fire. The silver Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled out of the manor slowly. Mason started feeling hollow inside. In the end, she still left him alone.The brief meet-up today did nothing but make him more eager to see them again.…Twenty minutes later, Zoe pulled into a manor. Back when she planned to move back to Brookesville, she decided to buy a manor for herself and her family, which had grown bigger. There was also Deborah to consider. She felt that it would be better if they lived in a much more spacious place.More to the point, the manor was

Both of them texted each other for a good while…She dozed off in the middle of composing a reply text. Hours passed before she she woke up. There were about a dozen unread texts, all of them from Mason.She read each and every text in the dead of night, but she didn’t reply to him.At the next moment, she rose and went to look at both of her kids.She may not have been staying with Mason in the same manor and their relationship was on a precarious balance, at best. However, it was a big step forward for them to be able to live in the same city. They were well on their way to fixing all of the painful history they shared in the past.At some point, they started keeping in touch on a frequent basis. Carrying themselves like the best ex-couple there ever was, they worked together to raise their kids and discussed every challenge they faced while their kids grew up…Yanni was six years old and was studying in kindergarten. Zoe said, “You have all sorts of connections in Brookesv

Scarlett was disheartened when she saw how much Mason wanted it to happen. She had stayed at the manor for a long time, spending every single day with him. However, he had never shown any intention of remarrying Zoe. In fact, he hadn’t even visited his kids in Silvercrest.Now, it seemed, Zoe’s return had changed everything!He would stare off into space or dwell in fear of losing her all the time. Zoe had singlehandedly turned him into the mess he was now. Scarlett had sharp instincts too. She could tell that Zoe still had feelings for Mason. All she had to do was stare into her eyes. Why?! Why did it have to be like this?!They had been divorced for years. Why did Zoe have to return and shake his conviction?For that, she seriously disliked Zoe. With that said, she had to give in to her for the time being. “That’s right. Ms. Zoe’s going to the hospital as well.”She had no interest in seeing the joy in his face, so she closed the door swiftly. He was still staring out
