Chapter 78
Mason embraced Zoe. He spoke intimately to her, a level of closeness she was not accustomed to. She turned her face slightly and said, "Yes, Liam just left."She wanted to continue packing, but Mason blocked her. He held her slender waist, leisurely caressing her body without any apparent ulterior motives. It was as though he was just passing the time.After being married to him for several years, Zoe knew how he was was all too well. She did not resist. She let him touch her.After a while, Mason finally stopped, "What did you and Liam talk about?"Zoe's voice was calm. "Shares and the lawsuit."Mason waited for a while, but she did not bring up Gregory or his unwarranted advances. His gaze deepened as he looked at her for a long time.Rather than revealing what he had seen, Mason changed the subject. "By the way, I had Ava find an apartment with a great location and environment. It's perfect for your dad and Mia to live in. You can check it out tomorrow, okay?"He was co

After Mia left, Zoe stood by the window, silently observing. She saw Mia going downstairs, sitting on the roadside, sobbing uncontrollably. Zoe had never seen Mia like this before. Even on the day the Sanders family went bankrupt, Mia maintained her composure without losing control.Ava was behind her, unable to resist asking softly, "Mrs. Zoe, do you regret it?"Zoe lowered her gaze. After a moment, she smiled faintly. "I don't regret it. I've never regretted it."She had no choice. There was no room for regret. Zoe spent half a day at the apartment. When she left in the afternoon, she only took a small suitcase.…In the evening, as darkness fell, the sky was painted with colorful clouds, and the twilight was exceptionally splendid. A luxurious black RV passed through the ornate black gate, circling a few times before stopping in the villa's parking lot.Mason stood in the dusk, opening the car door for Zoe. He called her Mrs. Lockwood. With a handsome face, he revealed a

Mason looked down at her condescendingly.He watched her nose twitch and observed as she gradually sunk into ecstasy.If he did well, she would uncontrollably wrap her arms around his shoulders, gently panting near his neck. Only in moments of surrender, her face would not appear so cold and regain its lively and charming aspect.It seemed like the old Zoe had returned.Mason lowered his body and kissed her passionately.…Mason took quite a while, making love to her three times before finally finding some relief.In the end, both of them were covered in sweat.They quietly embraced each other, calming the emotional tide.After a long time, Zoe's body moved slightly, sitting up.Mason wrapped his arms tighter around her her waist, his voice husky in the aftermath of their passion. "What's wrong?""I need to take my pills."Zoe used her fingers to comb through her waist-length hair and explained calmly, "You didn't use protection just now, so I need to take my pills."Mason

Mason did not immediately let her go.He pressed her against the wardrobe door, his large palm slipping into her robe, teasing her lightly, "What could be more important for you to do than me?"Zoe, of course, was familiar with such tricks from a man like him.She slightly tilted her head, enduring his teasing. Occasionally, she could not help but let out a soft moan.After a while,her eyes were misty as she spoke, "Mason, I told you that I was not going to be locked up like a bird in a cage. The freedom to go where I want and do what I want was part of the deal."Mason did not inquire. He released her, giving a light snort. "It seems Mrs. Lockwood is planning to do something big."Then, right in front of her, he took off his bathrobe and started dressing.Mason had a great figure.He had a tall and well-built frame, covered with a thin layer of natural muscles, not an ounce of excess fat, but also not the type of muscle mass developed in the gym.He stripped down to just a bl

Mason returned to the mansion, and the servants were a bit surprised to see him back."Where's Mrs. Lockwood? Didn't she go out?" Mason casually asked while heading upstairs.The servant quickly replied, "Mrs. Zoe is still here, but she just told the driver that she'll be heading out shortly."Mason paused for a moment, not saying anything. He walked to the second floor, opened the door to the master bedroom, and saw Zoe changing into different clothes.She wore a silk blouse paired with a fishtail skirt, giving off a hint of restrained beauty.Mason could not help but glance for a few more seconds. Then, he took off his suit jacket, sat on the couch, and stared at her intently. "I just got back, and you already have plans? Cancel them and have dinner with me."Zoe had a meeting with Aiden. It could not be canceled on a whim.However, she also did not want to upset Mason. So, she said gently, "I didn't know you'd be back early, Mason. Next time, let me know in advance if you

Zoe quickly said, "Aiden, you're being modest." Her compliment was not just flattery. Aiden was highly respected in the industry, internationally renowned, and held a prestigious status.Aiden had always liked her. He smiled at David and said, "I enjoy hearing her praises."David poured tea for him, adding, "You should take this chance to relax. There's no need to be so restrained. You seemed so tense the last time you met… Ms. Lilith, was it? I knew you were holding back your disdain."Aiden patted David's back. "Let's not dwell on that. Why bring her up?"David, with a look of sudden realization, kept apologizing to Zoe. "My bad, I wasn't really thinking. I'm sorry, Zoe."Zoe was not foolish. They were trying to dig into Lilith's affairs, and she guessed it was because Mason brought Lilith to meet Aiden. Aiden might not have liked her, but he saw the potential in Mason's deep pockets.She smiled faintly. "I understand."Then, Aiden began to vent. After sipping some tea, he

Zoe allowed him to touch her. Compared to the past, she appeared more compliant, but Mason still felt she was different now. He could not figure out what had changed. Perhaps it was because Zoe now treated her role as Mrs. Lockwood as a job, fulfilling his needs and taking care of household matters, but without love. Men could actually sense love and the absence of it. Mason thought he did not mind. It was just slightly discomfiting.Zoe did not speak up, so he spoke instead. "I saw Cecil earlier. Is he the reason you seem so unsettled?"Zoe looked up. Their eyes met, conveying a sense of mutual scrutiny. After a while, Zoe spoke softly, "Mason, you don't need to doubt me all the time. That wasn't a secret rendezvous. It was just a coincidence."Mason's gaze turned analytical. After a while, he lightly touched her face and said, "I believe you, Mrs. Lockwood. Now, can you come home with me and have dinner?"Before Zoe could nod, he had already lifted her into his arms.She did

Mason tilted his head back, exhaling a slow stream of gray smoke. He glanced at Leslie, saying, "I'm not a comedian."Leslie choked on the smoke. He was about to ask about Zoe when Gabriela approached with a glass of red wine.She had dressed up meticulously for the occasion. She wore a dress that exuded femininity, and every move deliberately showcased her womanly charm.Seating herself next to Mason, she spoke in a familiar tone, "Mason, why didn't you bring Zoe along? Since you two got married, it seems like you haven't taken her out much. Is it because you don't see me as being worthy of meeting her, or is it that you don't find your wife attractive?"This remark contained a hint of flirtation and a dash of curiousity.While she spoke, her body was almost leaning against Mason's shoulder, the soft, fair skin rubbing against his crisp white shirt. Gabriela believed that no man could resist such subtle temptation.Leslie pretended not to hear, taking a sip of his drink.Mason
