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

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

Mason was pissed off now. He snorted and said, “Guess what? I’m always chock full of lust.”Putting on the coat, she got out of the car. Holding the car door, she looked at his dashing features and said purposefully, “You're a sexual deviant! You’d better get it checked!”Then, she called her chauffeur to come over. She trained her gaze on him while they waited and he didn’t try to drive away either. In fact, he was merely toying with her earlier. Deep down, he respected her very much. Once her chauffeur came over, he moved over to the passenger seat and said to Zoe, who was standing outside, “Happy New Year, Zoe!”Giving him a sidelong glance, she turned and left. However, the moment she turned around, she felt as if somewhere deep in the far corner her heart, which was also her most vulnerable part, had crumbled. Mia saw her coming in and asked, “Did the chauffeur send him home?”The thought of what happened earlier made her feel shameful. So, she responded softly, “Y
Chapter 498
Lisa knew that Zoe would never forgive her for the rest of her life. With that said, she knew that Zoe was merciful enough towards her for not sending her to prison. Perhaps it was because they used to have some sort of connection in her teenage years.It was the middle of the night and Lisa cried her lungs out in the black limousine.Mason was standing on the steps and looking at her car in silence. He could just guess that his mother was crying or weeping in there. However, he didn’t go over and try to soothe her. Instead, he walked back into his manor. Everyone had their own emotional baggage, but no one else could’ve helped her with it. She’d have to deal with it on her own terms.…It was the second day of the New Year. Mason decided he’d visit Westley because it seemed like his father was suffering from some health issues.He parked his car in front of the apartment, but he didn’t go upstairs with his gifts before he finished smoking a cigarette. He had bought the ap

Lila stared into his eyes. She was beautiful, but in a different way from Lisa, who looked more elegant while she was more free-spirited. She asked him, “Are you worried about Mason or my sister?”Westley didn’t manage to find his voice for a long time. “I’m afraid Mason has already…”She had loved him for the longest time, but she had never confessed to him. Now that he had gone ahead and said half of it, she decided she’d just come out and say it. “Are you trying to say Mason realized that I have a thing for you?”What she said spooked him real good. He was an honest man who adhered closely to the moral principles he held so dear to his heart. So, his mind was drawing a blank when Lila so flagrantly pushed him for an answer to her feelings. He ran the thought in his head for a long time before deciding to turn her down gently. “I’m a married man, for Heaven’s sake! More to the point, I’ve never thought of you that way, Lila. I’ve always seen you as nothing more than Lisa’s
