Chapter 452
Zoe went upstairs by herself.She had only gone to the eastern master bedroom on the second floor. Opening the door, she crossed the private lounge and walked into the bedroom. There were no wedding photos above the headboard. The bedroom lacked any of a young lady’s usual belongings. There was only a small canvas on the couch. It was only half-done, but she could tell from the features that it was a portrait of Noah. There were only some lady’s clothes in the fitting room. What was weird was that there were even fewer men’s clothes in there!Touching the fine fabric of the lady’s clothes, she could already tell that Noah hadn’t been treating Gwynn well. Otherwise, why would there only be a few clothes when they’ve supposedly lived together for a year?She didn’t stay there for too long. After she had looked around, she went downstairs slowly. Kim was visibly unnerved when she came down.She asked, “Am I right in saying that Noah doesn’t come here frequently?”Kim didn’t l

Zoe didn’t let him intimidate her. Looking back at him, she said, “I can’t help you! They flew out of the country and I’ve no idea when they’ll be back. I don’t think they’ll stay in the same place when they come back. “I’m sure you know this, but Noah spent two years garnering more powers and influence than I have in Silvercrest. There’s nothing I can do if he intends to hide from me.”“I know you’re telling me the truth. I’m just trying to leverage on your conscience,” he said.She responded mockingly, “Here I am, thinking conscience is the last thing you care about in the world.”Then, she had no intention to talk with him further. Putting on her sunglasses, she said, “I’ll be in touch when I have news!”The next thing she knew, he gripped her arm. It was reminiscent of how he had grabbed her hand all those years ago. He was also touching the slash marks on her wrists back then. Back then, she was weak and vulnerable. Now, however, she was much more powerful. She was no lo

It was night and Mason was wearing a white bathrobe on the second floor of his manor. Sitting on his couch, he had a blanket on his knees as the private doctor massaged him. She said, warmly, “Dr. Cecil said that you're getting some sensation back to your legs. Your right arm seems to be recovering well too! Looks like the newly formed research team is making strides.”Did she just mention a newly formed research team?Mason didn’t seem to recall investing in it. The private doctor knew she had let it slip, but there was nothing else she could do other than tell him the truth. “Ms. Zoe sponsored it. The first donation was already twenty million dollars, much less the subsequent ones.“This is how Dr. Cecil put it. If the research team needs to be maintained for five years, then it would probably exhaust Ms. Zoe’s entire wealth and properties.” She continued to massage him and said, “Ms. Zoe is doing everything she can to help you, Mr. Mason. She’s one heck of a lady.”Mason rem

Raising his eyes, Mason asked her, “Is Jamie feeling better with his hay fever after moving back to Brookesville?”Walking over, Zoe crouched next to him, patted her son’s head, and said gently, “He’s feeling much better now. I’m going to take him for a routine check in a few days.”He proceeded to stare at her, checking her out. She wore a long purple dress which complimented her fair skin and her slender figure. It also revealed her lean calves. That was where he gripped as his hands swayed along with her repeatedly. Then, her toes pointed straight and she leaned into his neck. After the wave of pleasure passed, he held her and soothed her wordlessly. They might not have parted on good terms, but they gave each other the best sex that night. Just thinking about it made him dwell longingly in the hot, passionate memory. The air turned a little tantalizing because of it. After a brief moment, he said in a husky voice, “It’s hot out here. Let’s go inside!”He wanted to stop

His grip on her hand was very firm. Backing off gently, Mason closed the door with his wheelchair, preventing the servants from peeping in. Then, he pulled Zoe closer to him. It seemed he wanted to pull her into his arms and make her sit on his lap.Concerned about the servants outside, she rejected it.However, he pulled at her harder and made her sit on his lap. Her eyes were red and she started fighting back. Then, he said softly, “It’s easier to talk this way.”She was about to say something but he had closed his lips over hers.He kissed her intensely with his eyes wide open, filled with lust. If they weren’t in the kitchen and there weren’t servants out there, he would’ve gladly drowned in pleasure with her. He pulled her perky waist towards him, making her feel his manhood and pressed against his body. Her supple breasts pushed down against his chest and rubbed subtly from the motion.They were locked in a hot, passionate kiss for about ten minutes. Then, his searing li

Both of them were stunned by what he said, especially Mason.How in the world did he forget that Zoe was with David now? He was merely her ex-husband. It was actually immoral of them to be having an affair like this. How did he fancy that he could keep her all to himself?How absurd!The passion of the moment died down a little and Zoe wanted to get off of him. Coming back to his senses, he kept his grip on her slender waist and said softly, “Just let me hold you for a little while.”She didn’t reject him. It was quiet in here and no one would dare to barge in on them. So, she relaxed and leaned on the side of his neck, feeling the warmth seeping from his skin.Her voice was very soft when she murmured, “We have to part ways, Mason. It’s just a matter of time! We still have to say our farewells sooner or later… That’s all.”At that moment, he knew that all he had to do was ask and she would’ve left David and come back to his side.But, what about the future?Could he guarante
Chapter 458
They might’ve been married in the past, but they parted ways for many years. That was why the affair felt refreshing for them.The night rolled on and Deborah put the kids to sleep. Zoe took a shower in the guest room and applied her skincare. She put on silk pajamas and went knocking on Mason’s room. She didn’t even think about it when she opened his door without waiting for an answer.Mason wasn’t the only one in his bedroom. There were two more male nurses in the room, who were getting him ready for a bath. Three of the buttons on his shirt were unfastened, revealing his fair and firm skin. He was sitting in his wheelchair, chatting with the male nurses. It looked like he had gotten used to being taken care of.However, his eyes grew darker when their eyes met. Based on that alone, she was certain that he hadn’t gotten used to something like this. It seemed that the life that followed his disability was something he could never be comfortable with. She knew it because she k

Zoe knew she could do it, but she was worried she might hurt his pride if she took care of him.The male nurses were very professional with the bath. Half an hour later, Mason was all cleaned up and leaning on the headboard. They also straightened up the bathroom before they left. Needless to say, she couldn’t exactly go into the bedroom while they were still in there. So, she waited until they left before she went on.The crystal chandelier was turned off. All he had for light was the night light. He saw her coming in and waved her over, signaling for her to lie down next to him.His voice was soft and tender as if what happened earlier didn’t affect him. So, she walked over and slept next to him. Leaning on his chest, she took in the scent of shampoo from him while he held her shoulder and caressed it gently. This time, he wasn’t touching her out of lust.After a brief moment, he said in a husky voice, “You saw it! I need help just doing something simple, like taking a bath.
