Ella felt her heart ache to the point of tears. She tightly held Zoe's hand. "Why is he so fickle? Is he going through an early mid-life crisis or something?"The atmosphere, initially heavy, lightened up when Ella made that remark. Zoe even chuckled. "It's quite possible!"The two chatted for a while. Ella looked at Zoe with a complex expression. "Last night, Gregory ended up in the hospital. He broke a rib, and it was Leslie who sent him there. Gabriela couldn't stand Gregory's feelings for you. The siblings had a big fight at the hospital, and it was Mrs. Margaret who eventually came to resolve it. I guess the Waldolf family is in chaos right now."Zoe stirred her coffee with her head down. In a low voice, she said, "I didn't provoke him."Ella naturally understood that she was worried about Gregory not giving up. In simple terms, Gregory only had some fear of Zoe because she was Mason's wife. If that were to change someday…Ella did not dare to think about it. She refraine
Chapter 90
It seemed that Mason had come directly from the office. Dressed in a sharp three-piece suit, he looked incredibly handsome. He was youthful and charming yet exuding the typical allure of a successful man. Many young girls could not help stealing glances at him. It was something he was accustomed to. Mason walked directly to Zoe and looked at the gigantic movie poster."Do you want to watch this?" he asked.Zoe discreetly clenched the movie ticket, smiling lightly as she denied, "I just thought of grabbing a soda."Mason's deep eyes focused on her for a moment. He then personally bought her a drink, saying casually when paying, "You used to dislike this, didn't you?"Zoe smiled faintly. "People change."Mason handed her the soda, smiling. "How about watching a movie together?"It was the first time Mason had invited her on a date. In the past, Zoe would probably have been overwhelmed with gratitude and felt so thrilled that she would not be able to sleep for three nights. No

Mason lightly pinched her chin. He had no romantic feelings for Lilith, and whether he saw her or not was irrelevant. He only helped her fix her legs due to their past friendship, and then he introduced her to Aiden. They were square and even. However, he did not want to explain these things to Zoe. After all, after three years of marriage, he knew what she was thinking.Right now, she simply did not care about him. Otherwise, she would not go to such lengths to flaunt her charm just to avoid watching a movie with him. Zoe was now repulsed by him. She could not even bear the thought of watching a movie with him. Her previous fondness for him had vanished into thin air.…Feeling dissatisfied, Mason became somewhat cranky when they returned home. Usually, he was tolerant of the servants, but during dinner, he complained that the food was not up to par. The servants were somewhat anxious but dared not speak up.Zoe knew that his anger was directed at her. Not wanting to mak

Early in the morning, Zoe was ironing Mason's shirts in the master bedroom's dressing room, selecting a suitable tie. She knew today was the shareholders' meeting at Lockwood Corporation, and to showcase his status, she even picked a tie pin.Someone embraced her delicate figure.Zoe was slightly surprised. After their unpleasantness last night, she thought he would be distant for a few days. Mason did not mention the movie ticket incident.He held his wife's slender waist, evaluating the tie pin in his hand. His voice was warm. "It was inconvenient when you weren't home."Zoe smiled lightly. "I'm back now."Just as she finished speaking, Mason turned her around.He pressed her against a transparent glass display cabinet, lifting her slightly. Zoe half-sat on his left leg. The bathrobe was pulled aside as her husband held her body, toying with her.It was still early, but Mason did not care.He was not really in the mood for anything particularly salacious. He lazily groped her

Mia's mindset was indeed old-fashioned. After contemplating for a moment, she said softly, "Zoe, have a baby. Life won't be as tough with a child."Zoe understood her good intentions. She once desired to have a child with Mason when she was with him. However, returning to his side again, she had no such thoughts.Zoe smiled lightly. "Let's talk about it in a couple of years."Mia sighed softly and watched Zoe leave. After leaving the hospital, Zoe went to the clinic to get more contraceptives. Maybe it was her imagination, but the recent intimate moments with Mason made her think he was not keen on using protection. Sometimes, even when they had run out of condoms, he would still proceed eagerly.Not wanting to get pregnant, she had to take care of it herself. After getting the medicine, she was about to leave but unexpectedly encountered the very people she did not want to see. Lilith and Carly.Although they were not from a notable background, due to Mason's relationship, th

In the elevator, there was a lingering silence between them. Eventually, Mason broke the silence. "Why did you get the medicine yourself? The contraceptive pills developed by the Lockwood Corporation—"Zoe chuckled. "What's the difference? They're all contraceptive pills."She looked at him, casually asking, "Why did you follow me? Don't you need to accompany your lover? Lilith seems to be in desperate need of your company."Mason's eyes were deep. He stared at her face, trying to interpret her expression. After a while, he shifted his gaze away, adjusting his tie and the position of the tie pin in front of the mirror. His eyes met hers in the reflection, and he casually asked, "What about you, Mrs. Lockwood? Don't you need my company?"Zoe did not avoid his gaze. She looked into his eyes, her tone calm. "Having the title of Mrs. Lockwood is enough for me."Clearly, this statement irritated Mason.Mason stared at her for a long while, his voice cold. "Well, I should thank you

"Rub my temples for me," the man spoke, his voice hoarse.Zoe set aside the book in her hands, surprisingly not harboring any resentment. She leaned over to massage him. In the past, she had learned this skill to comfort him after long hours of work.However, as soon as she touched him, she frowned slightly. "Mason, you have a fever!"Mason opened his eyes. Due to his illness, his usually bright black eyes seemed dim. Suddenly, his hand reached for her slender waist as if intending to engage in an intimate act.Zoe restrained his hand, preventing him from acting recklessly.Mason rarely fell ill, but his temper worsened each time he did. In the past, Zoe had always accommodated him, taking care of him meticulously and occasionally letting him have his way.Mason, feeling unwell and unsatisfied, became even more disgruntled. His black eyes stared intently at Zoe. "What's wrong? You don't want to do it?"Zoe took the initiative to sit on his lap, reaching for the medicine box whil

Zoe's resistance was futile against the force of Mason's ardor, even in sickness.Mason easily pinned her beneath him.Gradually, Zoe lost her strength. Eventually, she stopped struggling, burying her delicate face in the dark-colored couch. She refused to look at him or respond.In his anger, Mason could not help but become more aggressive. He pinched her delicate chin with his slender fingers, forcing her to look at him. His words were anything but pleasant. "Mrs. Lockwood, let's see who can make you moan louder."Zoe felt humiliated. She turned her face away, but Mason held her tightly. She could not escape. Reluctantly, she was forced to stare at his handsome face.The dim yellow light surrounded Mason, casting a soft halo around him. However, there was no tenderness in his eyes. His forehead, side profile, and neck were covered in sweat.Mason was getting carried away, both mentally and physically. Finally, when emotions reached a critical point, he lowered his body, bit
