Chapter 460
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.
Chapter 461
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

Zoe responded to him in an equally soft voice, “What do you want me to say?”Mason pulled her closer and tightened his grip so much that he almost hurt her. “You’re supposed to ask me why I didn’t go into the mansion!”“Well. Why didn’t you?” Before he could respond, she said, “You didn’t used to be this difficult, Mason! You have the freedom to attend the party or otherwise. I can’t be minding your feelings all the time. I can’t spend all my time guessing if what I do is going to make you upset! It’s just going to wear us out if we do it that way.”There. She finally said it!However, she regretted it a little afterward. She said meekly, “Mason…”He didn’t give her the chance to regret her words.Releasing her hand, he turned his back to the window and allowed the dark thoughts to overtake his mind. His voice was even softer than the gentle night. “It’s very hard to love you sometimes, Zoe!”She was just standing right in front of him. All it took was a step and she could’v

David apologized to Zoe from the bottom of his heart. In his mind, he had broken a promise because he fell in love with that young girl. Holding the documents, she said joyfully, “This information is what mattered most to me, David! I’ll chalk anything else up to fate!”“You got that right! It is fate!” David smiled dryly, even a little bitterly, but he didn’t say anything. After dinner, he walked with her to the parking lot.Zoe was wearing a pair of high heels and she didn’t notice a hole on the ground. She staggered a little when she stepped into it.Almost without thinking, David held her waist, trying to support her. Touching her jogged his memory and threw him to the past, which was evident by the affection in his eyes. He said, “I hope the information I gave you is going to help Mason recover a little faster.”Smiling warmly, she said, “Thank you, David. See you soon.”David opened the car door for her like the gentleman that he was. A night breeze blew past him and he

Mason rejected her advice.Looking at her quietly, he said, “I’m perfectly calm now. I don’t need your pity, Zoe, and I certainly don’t appreciate being treated like a charity case. I want you to leave!”She froze where she stood and asked him softly, “Why would you say something like this?!”He didn’t respond to her immediately. Instead, he stared at her intensely. After a long time, he took a cigarette out of his front pocket with trembling fingers and lit it with his one good hand.Instead of smoking it, he lowered his head and watched as the wisps of smoke lingered in the air.After a long time, he said meekly, “Haven’t you always wanted to know if I was aware that you were pregnant with Jamie a couple of years back? Well, I was! Ava gave me your pregnancy test result on the day you left. “She told me that you were pregnant and that you were flying back to Silvercrest. She also said that I should chase after you and win you back… Do you know how I felt at that moment, Zoe?
