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?
Chapter 468
Zoe didn’t cry or weep. After all, she was the mother of two children now. As she said, once she left, she was never coming back. She’d still look after Mason, but she’d keep a distance from him.Her silver Rolls-Royce pulled out of his manor slowly.Mason was sitting in the study. He watched quietly as her car drove off into the distance. She left!He was so harsh to her that she actually left! Truth be told, he knew just how cruel he had been to her last night. He intended to light up a cigarette, but his hand was trembling so much that he couldn’t do it. In a fit of fury, he snapped it in half.Then, he wheeled himself to the guest room. The place was all cleaned up and tidied as if she had never been there. Returning to the master bedroom, he realized she had changed the bedsheet. There was a lingering warm smell of ironed clothes in the fitting room. He used to love that smell. On top of that, his medicines were lined up neatly.There was a thin necklace on top of a

Tears started to fill Mason’s eyes. Ava, who was standing at the side, had heard about what happened earlier today from the servants downstairs. So, she seized the opportunity and said, “The misunderstanding has been cleared up. You can go ahead and take Zoe back now, Mr. Mason!”He didn’t say anything. Pulling out the thin necklace from his pocket, he looked at it affectionately and touched it gently. There was no way his assistant would understand him. How was he supposed to take her back now?Given his current condition, they’d just fight again even if they managed to cross this hurdle. More to the point, Zoe wouldn’t return. That was what she said when she left. She’d never come back once she left. However, he still did nothing while she walked out of his manor.Ava was growing a little impatient when he said dryly, “Make an appointment with David! I need to thank him in person.”Flat out of options, she did his bidding.…Mason met David in the same hotel around thre

Luke turned the car around without further prompting and drove straight towards Zoe’s manor. He said, “It’s almost time for dinner now. You could always grab a bite there, Mr. Mason. I know that you love Mia’s cooking.”“Don't overstep your station!”Raising the car window, Mason leaned back on the leather seat. He was mulling over what he should say to Zoe when he saw her later. They had broken up for less than ten hours, but it had been long and torturing enough for him. His black Rolls-Royce pulled into Zoe’s manor slowly.Opening his car door, he saw darkness streaking across the evening sky. Like Luke said, it was just about time for dinner. He could almost smell the delicious odor from the kitchen. Yanni was playing catch with Jamie on the lawn. The moment she saw her dad’s car, she was beside herself with joy and yelled, “Daddy!”She took two huge steps forward before remembering her little brother. Then, she turned around, carried him, and scampered over to her dad with

Zoe encouraged her little girl affectionately. Standing underneath the crystal chandelier, her long dress complimented her darling figure as well as her ample breasts. She had tied up her long, black hair, revealing her fair neck.In his mind, she had always been warm and beautiful. She may have been extremely successful with her businesses, but he could never find anything fierce about her. He lost track of time, staring at her. She unwittingly met his gaze and saw that he was staring at her profoundly. At the next moment, she turned her head away nonchalantly.…It was ten in the night by the time he left her manor.Zoe came downstairs to see him off. He wheeled himself to his black Rolls-Royce, but he didn’t get into it. He asked quietly, “Are the kids sleeping?”“Yes,” she responded.The night was quiet and they were left alone. He stared at her for a long time before he said softly, “I found the document you left behind and sent them to the lab. I read your letter too.”At that

As luck would have it, Zoe sensed his stare and looked at him. She wasn’t exactly perturbed, but she did stand a little straighter when she saw him. The man in front of her looked at Mason too. Mason’s eyes grew darker. He ordered Ava, “Take me to her!”Ava wheeled him and stopped when they were one step away from Zoe. Naturally, she greeted her with enthusiasm. “It’s been a long time, Zoe!”Zoe rested her gaze on Mason and smiled faintly, “Indeed!”The man asked her, “Who’s this fine man, Ms. Zoe?”She had nothing to hide. “This is Mason! He’s the director of Lockwood Corporation and my ex-husband. This lady here is Ava. She’s Mason’s assistant, and a very capable one at that.”The way she introduced them was very formal.The man in front of her was Saül. He had just come back from overseas and was interested in making a huge investment. She was trying to get him to invest in The One Gourmet. Little did she know she’d run into Mason here.Saül was a polite man. Bowing sli
