Chapter 496
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

In the end, however, Zoe still rejected him. She said, “We’re not at the point where we could watch a movie together! Stop asking me out!”He asked, “Well, then. What are we to each other now?”Refusing to answer the question, she hung up on him. Only then did she realize her burning face and feel deeply embarrassed. After all, they had just done some unspeakable things in his car last night. It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly.Leaning on the couch on the second floor, she read her book cozily while Yanni and Jamie played next to her. About half an hour later, she heard the sound of a car pulling into her yard. She didn’t pay it any mind. Moments later, her servant, Paloma, knocked on the study door before coming in. “Mr. Mason’s here, Ms. Zoe. He said he’s here to hang out with the kids. What should I do?”Before Zoe could say anything, Yanni gasped and cried out happily, “Dad’s here!”Not only did she race downstairs, but she also carried Jamie with her.
Chapter 501
Zoe felt a little awkward as she chatted with Aiden. Tried as she might, but she just couldn’t ignore Mason. He was sitting right next to her. It didn’t help that he was leaning very close to her too. She could even smell his aftershave.Aiden, on the other hand, remained unaffected and continued to chat cheerfully with them.He was treating Mason quite warmly as well. It seemed he had completely thought of him as her husband. It was only made more obvious when Mason asked the waiter, who had just served her a glass of champagne, “Give her a glass of juice, please.”It might not have seemed out of the ordinary, but it spoke of his protective and possessive mind. Everyone on the spot saw it too. It was clear that Mason still cherished her, even if they were already divorced. Aside from that, some of them muttered about how he had done the impossible. They were baffled that he could stand on his own two feet again. Some guests murmured,“Now that Mason has hit full recovery, some
Chapter 502
She must’ve been out of her mind! Zoe thought to herself.It was over between them, but she just couldn’t reject him every time he teased her. His flirting skills were so superb that she’d inevitably succumb to it.Raising her eyes, she looked at herself in the mirror. She had to keep a clear head.After a brief moment, she left the restroom and was about to return to the ceremony hall when she heard a couple chatting. What was intriguing was that she recognized their voices. Poking her head out of the corner, she saw them.As expected, it was Ella and Leslie!Bumping into him was the last thing on Ella’s mind. As far as she was concerned, he was merely a ghost from her past. She used to hate him to the core.However, Farley had saved her from the endless pit of hatred. He might’ve passed away, but that did nothing to take away his love for her.They finally met each other after such a long time. Now, both of them were no longer young or naive. Leslie proceeded to light a ci

Leslie walked over and hugged her from behind. He didn’t do anything else. All he did was hold her tight and murmured, “I’m sorry, Ella! Can we please go back to the way things were?”Zoe had been peeping on them for a good while now. It was time she went over, she thought to herself.At that moment, someone pulled her back. She staggered and fell into someone’s warm embrace. It was Mason.Lowering his head, he leaned into her ear and whispered, “Let them sort it out themselves! Don’t worry. Ella can look after herself.”She tried to break free, but she couldn’t. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Let me go!”His face felt a little warm. Looking at her angry face, he said softly, “I told your chauffeur to go home. As you know, I have a few liquors in me. I’m going to need you to drive me home.”She wasn’t having any of it. Then, he added, “It’s snowing out there. I just might have a car crash if I drive now.”He was just impossible.She squirmed a little and broke free this t
