I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 109
Mason responded lightly after Ava was done talking. “I’m coming over right now.” However, he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he touched Zoe’s cheek lightly. It wasn’t warm like before. In fact, it was rather cold. He said in a deep voice, “I need to go to the hospital. You should go ahead and head to bed.”Zoe stayed silent. Grabbing his coat from the bed, he put it on and leaned down to touch her cheeks again before leaving.It was a windy autumn night. The moment he had left, she relaxed and started panting lightly.It was a good thing Ava called when she did. Luckily, Mason had to leave because something happened to Lilith. Otherwise, she might’ve just given in to his tender moves and brought pain and misery to herself. Sliding off the makeup table, she looked at both the business card as well as the diary and tucked them away. All of her youthful memories were in that diary.She might have hated Mason intensely, but never once had she thought to throw her d

Mason was about to say something when the door to the operating room swung open. The doctor came out and let out a sigh of relief. “We pumped the patient’s stomach and managed to stabilize her. We’re going to work with the police to get to the bottom of this incident, Mr. Mason. Just leave it to us!”Mason, however, remained calm. Leaning over, he gave some instructions to Ava. “Have Lilith transfered to Lockwood Hospital at dawn.”She nodded in response, the bags under her eyes clearly visible.Carly spoke hesitantly, “You have to stay by Lilith’s side, Mason! She could've died. She needs you now!”Ava snapped at her, “Mr. Mason isn’t a doctor, for Heaven’s sake!” That silenced Carly immediately.Then, Mason looked at Cecil and smiled, “I came here in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to explain everything to Zoe! She’s probably wrapped in her her blanket, feeling upset. Don’t worry, Cecil. I’m going to go home and keep her company now.”He checked the time and continue

Mason woke up the next morning and found that Zoe wasn’t by his side. Thinking that she was in the dressing room, he got off the bed and made his way there.His suit had been laid out, ready for him to wear. A matching watch and cuff links had been prepared as well, but she was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps she was preparing his breakfast downstairs, he thought. So, he freshened up and made his way down. The servant was laying out the plates and cutleries in the dining hall. Two freshly baked croissants and a cup of black coffee, his usual breakfast, had already been set on the table. The day's newspaper was on the left side of the table as well, as usual. Zoe had always made sure everything was set up in this way.The servant noticed Mason descending the stairs and greeted him respectfully. He sat down, flipped through the papers casually, and asked, “Where’s Zoe?”She was stunned. When she came back to her senses moments later, she said, “Are you asking about her whereabouts, Mr

Mason looked at his phone and smiled.Nothing could escape from him.If he wanted Zoe, then she would be his!…Zoe hung up the phone and exited the kitchen. Mia read her expression and asked, “Are you and Mason fighting again?”She shook her head and told her stepmother the truth. “We had a rough patch a few days ago, but he came home last night and acted completely different. I can’t read him, Mia.”Upon hearing that, Mia went back to her bedroom and came out with a ticket. Touching Zoe affectionately, she flashed her a faint smile.“This is an exhibition that displays your late mother’s artworks. Give it a visit to clear your head, Zoe. Come back for dinner. I’ll save some pizza for you.”An exhibition of her late mother’s artworks?Zoe took the ticket and fiddled with it. Her mother was a Kirk. Her talents shook Jovopolis when she was young. However, just as she hit her prime, she passed away. Hundreds of her artworks were distributed on the market, each of them valued bet

Vivid colors filled the evening skies in autumn, adding to dusk’s gloriousness.Zoe made her way back to the apartment. She had just opened the door when she heard Mason’s warm, sweet voice.“I used to fix my own pipes when I studied abroad.”“I’ll just change into a fresh suit tomorrow if I get wet! It’s no problem, Mia!”…What was he doing here? Closing the door, Zoe placed her keys on the hook by the door. Mia heard her movements and came to greet her. “He’s been here for an hour now. It just so happens that the pipe in the kitchen broke and he insisted on fixing it! Is he here to take you back home?” Mia was genuinely surprised. Mason was so conceited under normal circumstances. When had he ever fixed a pipe? All men were the same, it’d seem. They could do anything previously thought to be impossible if it was about winning a lady’s favor!Taking off her coat, Zoe said softly, “I’m staying here tonight.”Mia let out a sigh of relief. “Alright. I’ll make some dinner! Y

Curling her hair with his finger, he said somewhat lazily, “Did you earn that money when you performed at Leslie’s place? Did he pay you in thousands or tens of thousands? That can't even pay for high tea at the places our people are used to.”She rested her head on his shoulder, not saying anything. Perhaps that kind of money meant nothing to him, but it was a symbol of her courage when she decided to divorce him. It was true that she had returned to him, but she still wanted to try to support herself as best as she could. She no longer wanted to be dependent on him. She never wanted to receive another check from him after having sex with him.He knew what she was thinking. She didn’t have to say it. He continued to embrace her, enveloping her hands with his big palms. He held her like that for a long time.Eventually, she felt uneasy and freed herself. “I’m going to take a bath.” However, he held her hand, his fingers entwined with hers. Pressing his forehead against hers, he

Turning on the bedside lamp, Mason sat up, leaned on the headboard, and looked at her, “What do you think?”Zoe had no answer for that. Smiling faintly, he spoke. His deep voice sounded especially moving in the night. “I’ve never loved anyone from the bottom of my heart, Zoe, and I don’t know what it feels like to be in love. However, this is the first time I've ever cared about someone. I care about you so much that I ditched my principles. I even followed you to your parents' place and fixed the leaky pipe in their kitchen.”Pausing briefly, he kept going, “Do you think I did all that just to find someone to sleep with? I think you know that a lot of women would throw themselves at me if that’s what I wanted.”Zoe refused to go along with it. “Well. I’m not stopping you.” He chuckled in response. His eyes looked dashing in the glow from the lamp. His brows exuded a charm that only mature men possessed. She knew, deep down, that any woman would serve herself up on a silver pl

Mason flew back to Brookesville on Friday evening. Ava and his chauffeur picked him up at the airport. Ava asked him when he got in the car, “Are you going back to the company or your manor, Mr. Mason?” He had worn himself out, working for the entire week. Rubbing his brows, he said, “Take me to Zoe’s apartment.”Ava seethed with jealousy.After a brief pause, she asked softly, “Are you going to take her back home? Did you guys have a fight?”He frowned, “You crossed the line, Ava.”That frightened her and shut her up. Putting both of her hands on her knees, she clutched the hem of her skirt. Women had a sixth sense about these things and she could sense that Zoe was becoming more important to Mason as time went by. She found another photo frame on his desk a few days ago. Zoe’s picture was in it. After being married for three years, he had finally fallen in love with Zoe after all.The chauffeur dropped Ava off at her place on their way to Zoe’s apartment.

I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1464
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism. Together with Zoe, they helped with the wedding arrangements. A traditional Chinese wedding was far more elaborate than a Western one, but thankfully, the families had enough help to avoid any chaotic moments.During the d

That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brother’s face and marvel: "It’s really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husband’s looks are the wife’s glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, “She must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesn’t mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesn’t know when to keep quiet, but luckily, she’s married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didn’t want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

Ignacio said, "We can’t take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders family’s sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didn’t refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zion’s car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, “Zion came to school. There’s a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!”Gwen playfully replied, “You really know how to enjoy life.”The leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, “See? Your teacher’s wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.”Gwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her “Ms. Gwen.”Gwen corrected them, “It’s Ms. Gwen.”The students laughed and teased, “Ms. Gwen! Mr. Z

Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didn’t cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didn’t care, but he couldn’t bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1458
Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didn’t even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.“When will you be back?”On the other end, Zion checked the time and said, “I’ll be
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1457
Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, “This is my secondary card. There’s no credit limit.” Gwen gasped softly, then teased, “Wow, aren’t you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.” Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, “Thank you, my sugar daddy.” Zion’s response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. “Turns out you’ve got a thing for bad boy
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1456
Zion could sense Gwen’s cautiousness and chuckled softly. Then, he cupped her face and planted a firm kiss on her lips. “Don’t worry, I won’t touch you. We agreed to save that for our wedding night. Besides, I just drank last night, so I probably wouldn’t be much use. I want your first time to be special, so I’ll make sure I’m well-prepared.” Gwen’s cheeks turned crimson. She buried her face in his chest, mumbling, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” How peculiar! Back then, even though they were together, their relationship had always been proper and restrained. But now, here they were, sharing a bed, their bodies so intimately close it was both thrilling and embarrassing. Gwen had never experienced this before. Zion seemed to understand her thoughts. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “I haven’t either. Before the wedding night, I’ll make sure to study hard.” Gwen didn’t dare ask how he planned to “study,” though she had a pretty good idea—i
