Chapter 457
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.

Mason’s nose was very defined and charming!She traced it with her lean fingers as her lips curled into a smile. Then, she looked around the room longingly before slipping out of the blankets and walking toward the fitting room. She picked out an outfit for him and ironed them, just like in old times. Little did she know Mason prepared a surprise for her in there. There was a delicate jewelry box with a thin diamond necklace in it. The diamond wasn’t exactly big. It was probably only worth tens of thousands of dollars, but it looked very exquisite and perfect for everyday wear.She was pleasantly surprised. Taking out the thin necklace, she put it on for herself and admired it in the mirror for a long time. The sweetness in her smile was impossible to miss. They had been married for so long, but this was the first time she felt this way!Instead of taking it off, she left it on her neck while she picked out an outfit for Mason and ironed them until they were neat and crisp.

Zoe had no idea that Mason’s mind went to a dark place. She took care of their kids as if everything was normal. Her delicate face was filled with affection as the morning light shone on her. Any man who set sight on her would want to have her as their wife for the rest of their life. Yanni was warm and loving. She ate her breakfast enthusiastically. Jamie, on the other hand, was much colder and aloof. He was close to two years old now. He could have breakfast without any help, but it didn’t seem like he was savoring his food. Instead, it looked more like he was mechanically completing a task.Picking up a glass of milk, Zoe drank half of it and said warmly, “You were like this too, Mason. You ate everything mechanically and never took a moment to savor its taste.”“I’m the same now.” Then, he lowered his voice. “I’d much rather savor something more delicious!”Yanni dug into her casserole and asked with a crisp voice, “What do you mean, Dad?”Zoe kicked him in the shin under

In fact, he knew that Zoe was pissed off, but he just didn’t want her to see how pathetic he looked when he got out of the car. He loved it when she took care of him, but he hated himself for being so reliant on her. Zoe stood on the balcony on the second floor, staring at him quietly. This was the first time he had acted uncomfortable around her ever since she had made her Brookesville comeback. In the past, he had always flirted with her to some extent, no matter how cutting his remarks may have sounded. However, it was different today. Mason was just sitting in the car. He might not have seemed different from before, but, deep down, she knew he had changed completely on the inside. He was a proud man, but he couldn’t move either of his legs nor his right arm. It must’ve eaten him up inside!Midnight came and Zoe had just taken a bath. She was sitting in front of the makeup table in the guest room, applying skincare, when someone grabbed her arm. Then, she saw Mason in the mir

Rosemary’s newly bought mansion was more than three thousand square feet. It was renovated in the French classic architecture style. Very classy, indeed.She was entertaining her guests with her new boyfriend, glasses in their hands. She looked very happy tonight. Zoe came over and she poked her head out to see behind her back. “Why isn’t Mason here?”Giving her friend the presents she prepared, Zoe smiled lightly and said, “He’s working at home”Rosemary had always had a way with words. She said in a sophisticated tone, “That’s because you did a good job with him! Mason was never big on social situations and he had virtually no scandals in the high society circle. This isn’t something you see every day.”At the next moment, she spoke in a hushed voice. “Gabriela has gotten married! Do you think that means Mason has finally cut ties with her now?”Rubbing Rosemary’s hands gently, Zoe said, “It’s all in the past. Let’s not dwell on it.”Rosemary complimented her for that. Both o

The doorman, who was standing by the door, asked him respectfully, “Shall I announce your arrival, Mr. Mason?”The party…What the doorman said triggered him. He mocked himself and said, “That won’t be necessary!”At the next moment, he wheeled himself out of there frantically. He went fast at it. Never had he hated himself so much. This was the first time he felt as if he was a clown, a loser… How ridiculous it was that he thought he’d surprise her at the party. He thought he’d finally show her that she gave him enough courage to come to the party like any ordinary person would.The whole thing was absurd!How dare he think he was the same as anybody else?What part of him was normal now, for crying out loud?He didn’t even dare to go to the party because he was so worried about how the others would look at him. He was also worried that the other guests would ask her that question.What was she doing with a man like that?Zoe ran out and caught a car driving off in the
