I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 14
Zoe was good-looking and she played the violin very well. The person in charge paid her three hundred dollars for each show. He would ask her to play for three or four shows every day if business was good. That resulted in her playing violin for six hours a day. Calluses and blisters formed on her fingers from it.It was a hard life and she was occupied all the time, but she had never regretted her actions. She never gave a call to Mason, nor did he call her. From time to time, she would read news about him attending banquets and acquiring other companies.He looked stunning and arrogant in these events. She used to accompany him to such events in the past, her heart leaping from glancing at his dashing looks. Be that as it may, all she felt now was distant and strange.…It was evening. Zoe sat quietly on the top floor of the hospital. A can of iced Coke stood next to her. She rarely used to drink sodas because it was not exactly healthy, but she would drink one from time to time

It was probably because Lilith attracted too much attention to herself that Lisa decided to take matters into her own hands. She sought out Zoe.Zoe was performing in a supermarket. She was wearing a cheap dress the company rented for her, and her hands were bandaged up as well. Who would have thought that she was the former wife of the director of Lockwood Corporation?Lisa stood where she performed with a solemn face. Zoe halted for a second when she saw Lisa. Nevertheless, she continued to play her violin. During the intermission, Lisa walked over and said coldly, “There’s a coffee shop outside. I’ll wait for you there.” Then, she left.Zoe continued to clean her violin. One of her colleagues got worried, leaned in, and whispered, “Are you caught in a mess, Zoe? She looked like she meant trouble!” She shook her head and smiled faintly, “It’s fine! She’s my… friend.” Her colleague did not really buy her story.She changed into her usual attire and went to the coffee shop outsid

The window was lowered halfway and Mason’s arrogant face could be seen. He wore a black and white suit, as though he had attended a formal function. He looked very relaxed, which made Zoe look worse in comparison.They locked gazes silently on the rainy night. Zoe’s lips were trembling from the cold. She wrapped her hands around her violin tightly as if it were the last glimmer of hope in her otherwise bleak life. It was clear Mason was giving her an opportunity. All she had to do now was to yield and get in his car. Then, she would get a clean towel and a cup of hot water. She would not need to perform in a supermarket tomorrow morning. She could sleep on the grand, soft bed until she woke up. She could be his wife again.However, she did not want that!Zoe stood in the rain and looked at him wordlessly. The rain got heavier. It dripped on their eyelids and blurred their visions. After about a minute, Zoe shielded her head with a hand and started running in the rain.She ran and

Zoe ran all the way back to the place she rented. Mia was standing there with an umbrella, waiting for her. Zoe slowed down and asked, “What are you doing here, Mia?” They went back home together and Mia gave her a clean towel to dry her hair, “I’m worried about you. It’s raining so heavily. Why didn’t you hail a cab?”Zoe said lightly, “It’s hard to get one when it’s raining.” Mia urged her to take a bath. She gave Zoe a bowl of hot chicken soup afterward. She hesitated a little before asking, “Any updates about the divorce?”Zoe froze for a second before continuing to drink the soup and said lightly, “He wouldn’t agree to the divorce! I can’t seem to find a lawyer who’s willing to take my case too, but I’ve filed for separation. It’ll last two years. It doesn’t matter about what he thinks, I will divorce him.” Mia left it at that. She looked at Zoe’s wounds, treated them, and felt a lump in her throat. Zoe had been the best student in a music academy back in the day. Many

Zoe thought it was quite inappropriate. She was about to reject him when he took out a food container from the passenger seat. “This is some homemade pizza and your favorite Caesar salad. My mom made these and asked me to take them to you.”She was kind of surprised. “Your mom remembered!” Cecil flashed her a gentle smile and opened the car door for her, “Come on. Your place is on my way anyway.” It was hard for Zoe to reject him now. So, she got in the car and buckled up.“Thanks for your help.”Cecil had his hands on the steering wheel and looked at her cheerfully, “Go ahead and eat it if you’re hungry. They’re still hot.” She did not want to act as if they were very close. Also, she did not want to make his car dirty. So, she shook her head. “I’ll eat them when I’m back home.”He did not push her. Cecil started driving away and said after a while, “It’s perfectly fine to eat them at home so you can take your time with them!” With that, his white BMW drove off into the distan

They had been married for three years. Mason knew how to turn her on, make her feel aroused, and make her bend over irresistibly. Both of them were entwined with each other in the darkness.They received education in privileged schools since they were young. Zoe was a by-the-numbers lady of a wealthy and prestigious family. Mason was extremely picky about the location where he had sex with a lady.However, he did not give a damn about it now. He wanted to see her having a meltdown right there. He wanted her to cry in his embrace and call out to him in a feeble and hoarse voice. Zoe was on the brink of collapse, “You’re wrong! That’s not true!”Her voice was husky and trembling, but it only served to incite the man before her. Mason suppressed her every single time she struggled and continued to treat her rougher, He even whispered nastily in her ear, “Do you know who he is?”“Don’t you think he’s somewhat similar to me? What’s the matter? Are you trying to find someone to replace m

Zoe’s legs were shaking when she left Mason’s car. She tried her best to not let him notice it. She did not want to be embarrassed further.What was the big deal, really?It was just sex. Mason had done it with her in countless embarrassing positions in the past three years. It was merely one more embarrassing moment to add to the pile. Moreover, they did not even go through with it in the end!It was still pitch black on the staircase. She could almost smell the erotic odor of when they intertwined with each other. Zoe picked up the food container and her violin. She shuffled back home. She was about to open the door when someone called her, “Zoe!”The light at the staircase came on all of a sudden. She saw someone she knew and muttered, “Ella.” Zoe came back to her senses after a while, “How did you find your way here?”“I went to the hospital and got your address from Mia.” Ella lifted her chin. “I came here as soon as I got off the plane. Hurry up and make me some food. I’ve

Zoe said, “Yeah, I know about it. Mason hired her.” That, in turn, shocked Ella. “Is Lilith the mistress he was talking about? It’s frustratingly hard to kick them out of your life, Zoe! You would’ve followed Mr. Aiden and studied abroad if it hadn’t been for that little accident. You wouldn’t even need Mason in your life!” She took another drag at the cigarette to calm herself. Then, she said, “Mason is such a tough nut to crack. That little accident has cost you so much!” She expected Zoe to back down. Instead, she said lightly, “Mr. Aiden called me. He wanted to take me under his wing in the four years he’s in the country.”Ella was so excited that she put out her cigarette. “I’m going to make you regret it if you let this chance slip by you, Zoe.” Zoe smiled faintly, “I know you will.” Feeling much better, Zoe washed the dishes, bathed, and went to bed. Ella was already fast asleep. She laid down next to Ella and rested her head on her shoulder. She had missed her dear f

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

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

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

Zion maintained a respectful demeanor and immediately greeted, “Mr. Noah.” Noah, however, didn’t make things difficult for him. He gave a light cough, which could be considered acknowledgment. Then, turning to his youngest daughter, he said, “Go upstairs first. Your mother’s been waiting for you all night; she probably has something to say to you.” Gwen hesitated and didn’t move at first. Zion gently nudged her, his voice soft, “You should go.” Only then did Gwen start to move. But before heading upstairs, she walked over to Noah. As the youngest daughter and the most adept at charming her way out of trouble, she hugged her father. Only then, with visible reluctance, did she head upstairs. Her father’s anger dissipated by more than half after the hug. Watching her go, Noah turned his attention to Zion, his tone calm but firm: “Have a seat. Let’s talk.” Zion immediately sat down and, with practiced ease, poured Noah a cup of tea. Noah feigned irritation and remarked, “

But Gwen was not satisfied.With reddened eyes, she pitifully asked again, "Are you married? Is there someone else by your side? Do you still love me?"As she asked, she was more persistent than before, yet it made the man's heart ache even more.Zion remembered that when they parted ways, Gwen was still an innocent, naive girl. Now, however, she was willing to ask such direct and revealing questions. The braver she became, the more pain he felt in his heart.Zion no longer teased her. He looked into her eyes and answered seriously."No, I'm not married. There's no one else by my side. Her leg healed, and she got married earlier this year. And yes, I still love you. Very much."...Gwen's eyes turned even redder.Her voice trembled as she said, "That doesn't mean I have to be with you. I'm still mad at you."Zion took a step forward and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. It had been five years, and now she had become a teary little kitten. He remembered how
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1453
At that moment, Gwen was completely flustered. She didn’t understand what Zion meant, nor did she understand why he was deliberately getting close to her. She wanted to ask, but before she could, Zion had already led her out of the car. The restaurant arranged by the school leadership was nearby, just off campus. Gwen had been there with Zion before, but not in a private room. Returning to an old haunt brought a sense of nostalgia. Zion walked side by side with Gwen. He was six-foot tall, and she was about five-foot-five. They made for a strikingly good-looking pair. Considering their history, the school leaders naturally couldn’t resist teasing them a bit. Gwen felt slightly uncomfortable and replied, "We were young and foolish." Over the years, Zion had grown seasoned in the business world, exuding an effortless charm. He responded with a light smile, "I wonder if we can pick up where we left off—still holding a grudge?" As soon as those words were said, the schoo
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1452
After running away in a flurry that night, Gwen retreated into her home, avoiding the world outside for several days. Her father, Noah, meanwhile, busied himself with his new hobby of keeping turtles—purchased on a whim after his wife, Gwynn, teased him for being too old. In an attempt to prove his youth, Noah even released the turtles back into the wild one evening, making a point of marking one with the name "Zion" on its shell in a bold act of petty revenge. Gwynn, ever the pragmatist, found the gesture immature and pointless, but it brought him a fleeting sense of satisfaction. Gwen, however, was unaware of the antics her father had indulged in. All she knew was that her father had been unusually concerned during her self-imposed seclusion, urging her to get out and take a break. Noah's insistence that she shouldn’t remain cooped up at home was an attempt to draw her back into the world, to reconnect with life. But she couldn’t shake the weight of everything that had transp

In the lounge, Gwen curled up in Tegan’s embrace, crying silently. Tegan gently stroked her smooth black hair, sighing softly. “If you really like him, I’ll help you talk to him.”Gwen sobbed quietly, “Dad will say you’re being rebellious.”Tegan paused for a moment, then replied, “Your brother will help me, won’t he?”Gwen clung to Tegan, continuing to cry softly. She remembered that today was Yeager’s full moon celebration and decided to cry for just a little while. After all, who hasn’t shed tears in their youth?At that moment, there was a knock at the door. From the sound of it, the person outside had a very refined aura. Tegan immediately guessed who it was; it certainly wasn’t her husband. She gently rubbed Gwen’s head. “I’ll go answer it.”When Tegan opened the door, as expected, it was Zion standing outside. The two locked eyes, and after a moment of silence, Tegan calmly spoke, “You two talk.” Zion nodded.In the quiet lounge, the soft sound of Gwen’s crying fill
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1450
The following August. It was the party for Ocelotte and Molly's child. Molly had given birth to a boy, named Yeager Sanders, a name chosen by her eldest brother-in-law, Lorian. She was very fond of the name. As for Lorian and Tegan's youngest son, he was named Fergus Sanders. Yeager and Fergus were the next generation of boys in the Sanders family. However, the first child was still Lola, the one and only little princess. She loved following Gwen around. The little girl was now three and a half years old and about to start kindergarten. On the day of Yeager's party, Gwen was still taking Lola around, but she unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance. It had truly been a long time. Since the year Zion had left for another country, although they had occasionally bumped into each other, they hadn’t had the chance for a proper meeting. How many years had passed? Gwen didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to calculate. She vaguely felt it had been four
