Chapter 533
He didn’t want to be with anyone else other than Zoe. It was simply impossible!…Mason sat in his office for a long time. He didn’t go home until it was evening.Darkness began streaking across the sky as his black Rolls-Royce drove through the ornate gate and stopped at the yard. Only a faint ray of sunlight clung to the skies, reluctant to let go.He killed the engine, opened the car door, and got out. Yanni came running out of the manor, held his legs gently, and called out to him affectionately, “Daddy!”At that moment, his heart shivered.The dormant memories came back with a vengeance. This used to be the kind of moment he described to Zoe when he was still trying to win her heart to reconcile with him. He’d come back home from work and their daughter would run over and hug his thighs as she called out to him. He had leaned in her ear and said softly, telling her to make a baby girl with him!Yanni’s eyes resembled Zoe’s so much that it felt as if she was standing rig

Mason refilled the pit with sand, making it look like it had never been dug up. He was in a trance for a long time before he rose gently and left with tears in the corner of his eyes. At the end of the day, he was still just an ordinary man. He couldn’t defy the laws of the universe and bring the dead back to life.He might’ve possessed massive wealth and wielded immense power, but neither could bring Zoe back to him. Try as he might to find her, he knew, deep down, that Zoe was gone for real.He’d have to trudge through the rest of his life without her!…It was evening by the time he went back to the city. His black Bentley drove on the street steadily and the back window was lowered halfway through. Turning his head to the side, he watched quietly as the clouds danced across the sky. His gaunt face was devoid of any expression.What he didn’t see was that Zoe was standing across the street, looking lost and confused. She was robbed of her previous memory and had no fami

However, she was long gone by the time he got there. Opening the car door, Mason stood on the side of the street he thought he saw Zoe. Anxiety traced across his face as he frantically searched for his beloved lady.Come on, Zoe. Where are you?Meanwhile, she was standing inside a store, quietly looking at him through a window. He was extraordinarily handsome and his outfits were top-notch and expensive.The next thing she knew, he whipped his head around and stared right at her.His face twitched a little in response and his eyes were filled with inexplicable emotion.Out of nowhere, it felt as if someone clutched at her heart.Lowering her head, she looked at the worn sandals she had on before casting a glance at the man and his luxurious outfit. Pursing her lips, she didn’t think she knew the man. After all, someone like her wouldn’t have had a chance to know someone as graceful as him.However, he was staring at her with warm, loving eyes!It felt like his gaze could just

A while later, the nurse came over to remove the IV drip and said gently, “We just provided your body with some nutrients via the IV drip, Ms. Zoe. Please keep monitoring your health after you’re discharged and watch out for any signs of malnutrition.”Zoe was embarrassed.It was kind of shameful to suffer from malnutrition in this day and age. She responded softly, “Okay.”Then, the nurse left with a smile. Zoe got out of bed and packed her stuff up, preparing to leave. However, she did go over and thank the man for helping her. She hesitated for a while before asking him, “Do we know each other?”He didn’t respond to her immediately. After a brief moment, he said softly, “We met briefly. That’s all!”She let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt a little disappointed. She didn’t know where it came from, though. Before she left, she used the restroom. Staring in the mirror, she looked at her flat tummy. It was fair and taut, but it seemed a little different if she

Mason returned to his manor.Mia and the kids hadn’t had dinner. Yanni was working hard on her homework underneath the ceiling light while Jamie was playing with building blocks. Mia was keeping them company. They heard footsteps at the door before they saw him coming in. Instead of changing out of his shoes as he usually did, he picked Jamie up and weighed him in his mind before walking over to Yanni’s side. “Let’s see how your sister is doing with her homework.”Mia couldn’t resist saying, “She has been quite focused the whole time! She even practiced violin a little.”The little girl raised her eyes and smiled sheepishly.Patting her head, he said affectionately, “Come on, let’s have dinner first. You can finish the rest of it once you've eaten!”The servants were already serving dinner when Mason and the others were chatting. At first, Mia was worried Mason would be downhearted because it was Zoe’s birthday today. To her surprise, he was in a good mood. He’d put some food

Mason didn’t know what to feel right now. He felt proud as a father, but he felt guilty at the same time.Zoe was their mother, but he was asking them to pretend that they didn’t know her. Yanni, on the other hand, was thrilled. She missed her mother so much. For the past year, she didn’t even dare to think about the possibility that her mom would be found. That night, however, she slept with a smile on her face. Even her dreams were filled with sweet, happy moments.He sat by the side of her bed and watched as she slept for a long time. Going back to his bedroom, he took a shower and lay on the bed, but he just couldn’t fall asleep. At that moment, Ava sent him a text, which included pictures her private detective snapped of Zoe. She even found out where Zoe was staying. It was a common motel. It broke his heart to see the pictures.It was only sixty bucks per night at the motel. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that it wasn’t exactly a good place. Zoe had lived a wealth

Be that as it may, she needed to talk to him. So, she mustered up some courage and walked over to him. Zoe was standing in front of him when she discovered something. The elegant man was so tall that her head only reached his shoulders. She had to raise her head when she talked to him. She hesitated a little and said, “Did you put some notes in my wallet?”Mason didn’t deny it. “Yeah! Think of it as compensation.”She said softly, “You didn’t do anything wrong by me, mister! I can’t take money from you. Give me a minute. I’ll go back up to my room and bring it down to you.”He stared at her quietly in response. She might’ve lost her memories, but her character stayed the same. She disliked the idea of taking advantage of people, nor did she like to owe people a favor. Leaving things ambiguous had never been her style. He had no need for the money he gave her, but he couldn’t resist following her when he saw how uneasy she was. The hotel receptionist’s jaw dropped when she sa

Mason responded dryly, “So how much will it cost me? Twenty thousand dollars? Two hundred thousand dollars?”Zoe was so pissed off that she slapped him. At the next moment, she regretted doing it. What was she thinking? She couldn’t afford to offend someone like him. What if he tried to take revenge on her?The fact was, however, she didn’t slap him very hard. Also, Mason wouldn’t have minded either way. Reaching out, he touched his face and stared at her profoundly, “Alright. How about we trade two thousand dollars for a kiss? How does that sound?”Huh…?She didn’t understand what he meant.Taking a step back, he leaned on the wall and pulled out a cigarette from his front pocket. Lighting it up, he took a couple of drags, raised his eyes, and looked at her. Snorting lightly, he said, “What are you still doing here? Are you waiting for me to finish what I started?”She hated this guy so much. However, she didn’t bother to respond to him. Instead, she went to her room and loc
