At that moment, Zoe burst into tears. Held in his embrace, she leaned on his shoulder and buried her face in his black overcoat, looking fair and graceful. On top of that, he held a fast grip on her waist. Her hips were pressed tightly against his groin as she wrapped her arms around him. Her tears proceeded to drench his coat on the neck area. It felt wet, warm, and uncomfortable, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to hug her at that moment.It was the first time in a long time since they had held each other in this way.It was much longer since they had embraced each other under the glow of the sun. They had only ever hugged each other in the dark of night when no one could see them. In them, there lay a sorrow and bitterness that only both of them knew. They had sought physical pleasure from each other a lot of times, but it always seemed their intimacy could last no longer than one night. Lowering his head, he stared into her eyes. His voice was husky and gentle wh

Mason’s eyes grew darker. He no longer forced her to stay in his embrace, but he couldn’t resist pulling her closer and holding her tighter. He wanted her to be coated with his scent. In the end, he soothed her softly, “Can I start over and win your heart again, Zoe? I’ll keep trying until you’re willing to come back to me and be my wife.”…In fact, Westley, both of his kids and the servants had already found out about Mason’s full recovery. So, they weren’t surprised by it, but they were grateful about it nonetheless.Today’s lunch was particularly luscious and meaningful. After that, Westley made up an excuse and left. Zoe watched as he left, lost in his own thoughts.Then, she headed to the kitchen to take a bottle of mineral water, but someone beat her to it. A hand reached into the fridge and took the bottle out for her. Raising her eyes, she saw that it was Mason. He, too, seemed to be thinking about something. He asked her, “What’s on your mind?”Having no interest i
Chapter 491
Mia spent three nights in the hospital. By the time she was discharged, it was New Year’s Eve and snowflakes had begun swirling in the skies. On the way back in the car, she kept blaming herself. “Age has caught up to me. My legs aren’t working as well as they should! I hate that I keep making your life difficult.“I’ve thought about it, Zoe. I’ll give myself a few more days until Jamie is three years old. Then, I’ll check myself into the retirement home. That way, I’ll be surrounded by people my age and make some friends.”Zoe kept her eyes on the road ahead so she could drive safely, but she said, “How I could let you spend the twilight of your life in an old folks home, Mia?!”She continued softly, “So many things happened lately that I haven’t exactly spent any time with you! Now that Mason’s fully recovered, he could help with the kids and I could take you to travel the world.”Mia remained quiet after that. After a brief moment, she said gently, “He's only just recover

Zoe was stunned.Mia supported herself with a cane and checked on the staff. She couldn’t help but say, “These are all top-notch, imported stuff. They’re the same brands as what we’re used to! He really put some thought into it.” The man in charge smiled. “You’re right, miss! Mr. Mason called us himself and made sure we’d deliver some of the finest things to your doorstep. The seafood and the meat are already prepped. So, you could just ask your servants to start cooking them. The rest of the stuff in the cartons are top-notch as well.”Zoe didn’t send the stuff away. Instead, she graciously accepted them, thanked the deliverymen softly, and gave them some generous tips.The man in charge grinned from ear to ear before he said, “Here’s wishing you and Mr. Mason a happy New Year. May the Heavens watch over you guys and bless your marriage, Ms. Zoe.”She didn’t respond to him. Moments later, the truck left.Her servants started to file out of the villa to move the cartons inside

Furthermore, Mia started to miss Noah when she heard Mason’s voice. Then, she returned the phone to Zoe. Zoe was about to hang up the phone when she heard him saying tenderly, “Happy New Year, Zoe!”For a brief moment, she didn’t say anything. She fell into a trance, thinking about how this was the best new year they had had ever since they knew each other. Waves of both happiness and anguish washed over her. Then, she murmured, “Happy New Year, Mason.”Both of them didn’t hang up the phone. Holding it close to their ears, they listened intently to the light breathing from the other end of their phones. It was soft and gentle, reminiscent of the pleasant wind caressing their ears at the moment. Not long after, her ears began to get warmer. She was worried Mia might notice it, so she hung up frantically. Raising her eyes to check on Mia, she realized her stepmother was staring into space. She couldn’t help but hold her hands and call out to her, “Are you thinking about D

It was warm in the villa. There were no one but old servants in here. So, Zoe didn’t feel awkward about the fact that she was walking around, wearing nothing but sleepwear.The last thing she had expected to find here was Mason and both of her kids. There was another person. Apparently, he brought over a female doctor, who was massaging Mia with some herbs from the South Hinterlands. Mia was really enjoying it. Mason was standing by the side, looking at her. It was the first day of New Year, so he put some thought into his outfit. He wore a white shirt with a three-piece suit and paired it with a coat.Underneath the glow of the crystal chandelier, his defined features appeared more attractive than they usually were, not to mention the enriched charm of his manly eyebrows. He raised his eyes as soon as he heard some footsteps from the stairs. Then, he saw her. She was wearing silk sleepwear that barely covered her private parts. The sunlight shone on her and brought out the
Chapter 495
A servant gave her a bucket of warm water. Dipping her feet in the bucket, she let out a pleasant sigh. Leaning on the couch cozily, she paged through a book she found nearby. …Mason sat right across the room. The next thing she knew, the water in the bucket splashed as he gripped her legs. She tried to pull them away, but she couldn’t. Her voice was husky when she spoke. “Mason…”To her surprise, he started giving her a foot rub.Raising his eyes, he stared at her profoundly. A moment later, he wiped her feet dry and held them to his chest. Holding them firm, he put on socks for her as he admired the pair of fair feet before him. It felt as if they were calling out to him seductively. She bit her lips in response. Raising his eyes again, he looked at her and said ever so softly, “Are you turned on?”There wasn’t anybody around them, but that didn’t stop her from feeling embarrassed. She kicked him lightly and said, “Let my feet go! Stop acting like a pervert in my hou

Zoe rested her gaze on his feet. After a brief moment, she said softly, “It’s snowing out here. So, it’s probably not a good idea for you to drive by yourself. I’ll ask my chauffeur to give you a ride home instead.”He stared right into her eyes and asked, “Are you concerned about me?”Mason had the advantage of being handsome. Top that off with the naked lust in his eyes, no lady in the world could say no to him. Zoe was no exception to that rule. However, she put on a blank face and said, “I’m worried that you might get into a car crash. Stop flattering yourself, Mason.”With that said, he knew better than anyone if he was flattering himself or if it was just plain truth. Zoe loved him.He didn’t waste another second with words. Instead, he pulled her right into the car and held her tight in his arms. A thud could be heard as he closed the car door lightly.The snowflakes continued to dance in the air.It was warm and cozy in the car. The cramped space was filled with t
