Chapter 567
It was evening. The last traces of the evening light cast its orange ray through the window and into the room. Its glow softened their features as she stared at Yanni in silence. The little girl had an impeccable appearance.Aside from being very pretty, there was something about her that Zoe loved very much. She couldn’t put her finger on it, though. After a brief pause, she couldn’t help but patted Yanni’s head and said truthfully, “You’re right. I love your dad.”Yanni said brightly, “Don’t worry, Alice. Both Jamie and I won’t get in your way of winning my dad’s heart. If you to get married someday, maybe both of us can be your flower girls.”Raising her eyes, the little girl stared into Zoe’s eyes, “We can even start calling you ‘Mom’ or ‘Mommy.’”Zoe didn’t have any comeback for that. Then, she heard the sound of a car pulling into the yard. Mason was probably back home.He parked the car and turned off the engine. Then, he got out of the car. It was quite chilly ou

Taking the card, she flipped it over and examined it. It was a VIP bank card crested in diamonds. Needless to say, it was different from the common bank cards. They should probably have plated it with pure gold and adorned it with jades while they were at it. In any case, Zoe was concerned that he didn’t apply a bank card in her name. Instead, he used his name. That was undoubtedly an intimate gesture. She couldn’t accept it. She murmured, “We’ve known each other for barely three months, Mason. This is moving too fast.”Caressing her cheeks, he responded, “We’ve done way more intimate stuff, Zoe. How is this moving too fast?”Her face turned red at that. Then, he tucked the bank card in her pocket before leaning close to kiss her, “In fact, my salary goes into this bank card! I know I’m the director, but I get paid every month too. “Not counting the dividend, my year-round salary is a little over twenty million dollars and they’re all in here! How about it? Does it feel good

Zoe’s heart started pounding!She had never thought Mason would want to have a baby with her. After all, he already had a son and a daughter. She was concerned about Yanni’s feelings in particular. The little girl was eight years old. Out of respect to her birth mother, she might not want another younger brother or sister. That wasn’t even talking about the kids’ different status in the family.She stared at him briefly before she groaned, “Mason!”Instead of responding to her, he ran his hand across her face gently. It was quiet in the night and they were alone in the car. She couldn’t help but think back to the passionate moments they shared last night. After a long time, she couldn’t take it and turned her face to the side and murmured, “It’s turned green!”He chuckled in response and stepped on the gas pedal lightly. Instead of heading to her apartment, he drove for another five minutes before pulling over by a drugstore.Unbuckling himself, he said, “I need to buy somethi

Caressing his neck, she could barely hold onto him. His skin was covered in sweat. Beads of sweat rolled down his Adam’s apple and dripped on where their private parts were joined with each other. A puddle had collected on the floor, painting a sultry picture. She moaned and said, “Take it easy, Mason!”He couldn’t!With that said, he cared about her feelings. Gripping her arms, he wrapped them around his hips. Slowing down a little, he lowered his head and stared at her. Then, he made her look at him. Pressing against her lips, he talked dirty to her, “Look at me, Zoe. I want you to look at me. Turn me on more and make it feel all the better for me.”She couldn’t do it. She didn’t dare to look at him, let alone when his manhood slipped in and out of her. Sometimes, a lady’s pride and reluctant acceptance act like an aphrodisiac for a man. It was enough to make him go crazy. More to the point, it had been a long time since he had had sex with her. What they did last night

“Mom… I mean, Alice?” Yanni sounded vulnerable. She was on the verge of tears.Zoe’s lips trembled. She carried Yanni into her arms, but she didn’t ask or say anything. The fact was that there could only be one answer for it. There was only one answer where it could explain how she ended up with Mason and why he treated her this way.She was his estranged wife!Doing everything she could to suppress her own feelings, she held the little girl’s hands and told Luke they’d hail a cab when they were done with dinner.The old chauffeur checked in with Mason before agreeing to it. Running her fingers across Yanni’s face, she said, “Let’s go have some dinner!”Then, she shouldered her school bag and kept holding onto the little girl’s hands, reluctant to let go.Mom’s back! Yanni thought to herself.Zoe picked a high-end restaurant for dinner. It was The One Gourmet, a global chain of French restaurants. The moment she stepped into it, the waiter was stunned. She stammered, “Ms. Zoe!

A few minutes later, she and Liam were sitting in a coffee shop. Yanni, on the other hand, was sitting on the couch. She was paging through some books, feeling bored, but she kept her ears pricked.He looked at the little girl and couldn’t help but feel downhearted. There was such a time when Yanni used to greet him warmly. However, she had forgotten about it completely. Averting his gaze, he looked at Zoe and said, “She’s such a big girl now!”There were some inexplicable emotions in his eyes. Zoe used to hate him to the bones. There was no way she would’ve had coffee with him if she hadn’t lost her memories. After all, he vividly remembered how she tried to ram him with a car.On the other hand, she could just guess who she was to him. Lowering her head, she stirred her coffee and said softly, “I’m sorry! I’ve lost my memories and I don’t remember who you are. I don’t think we’re lovers or anything. Right?”Liam raised his head slightly. Underneath the gentle glow of the

Zoe woke up in a hospital. The ceiling light was harsh on her eyes. So, she shut them again. She gave herself a couple of minutes and opened her eyes when they had adjusted.Then, she saw Mason sitting by the bed. He was dressed in formal attire and probably got here from the office. His eyes were bloodshot.Turning her head toward the window, she saw the moon on the horizon. She asked softly, “What time is it now?”“It’s one in the morning!” His voice was a little husky. Leaning over, he ran his hands across her face affectionately while he stared at her profoundly. They might’ve been a couple and did a lot of intimate stuff together, but it felt a little different now. Aside from the genuine love in his eyes, the way he was looking at her was the way a husband would look at his wife. However, the more affectionate he was toward her, the more it broke her heart.She simply couldn’t move on from Lilith.Leaning her cheeks on the white pillow, she listened to his breathing. B

That was why Zoe ducked when he tried to kiss her. An instinctive reaction was more telling than anything she could've said.He didn’t force her to do it. He reminded himself that it was good enough for them to still be together after so many heartbreaking split-ups.However, it didn’t hurt any less.Zoe had blocked him out. She built a thick wall in her heart, all because of what happened with Lilith. It was the middle of the night by the time Zoe passed out from sheer exhaustion. On the other hand, he didn’t have any desire to sleep. Opening the door, he walked all the way to the end of the hallway. Then, he pulled out a packet of cigarettes with trembling hands, took one out, and lit it up.The window was only half closed and he was only wearing a black shirt, which did nothing to fight the cold night air. With that said, he paid it no mind. He merely stood in the black of night and smoked without a word, taking in the depressing feeling of an unrequited love. Before t
