Zoe shook her head. "I'm fine. I'm just a bit tipsy."She took the coat from him. "I'll head back first."David nodded, hands in his pockets. "Let me give you a ride."Zoe knew David had other things to attend to and said, "You've had some drinks too. Take a cab. I'm fine. About the sponsorship—"David interrupted with a smile. "I've got it covered. Leave it to me and Mr. Aiden to handle the big stuff. If you're really okay, I'll head in now. There's still some other entertainment planned later."He was stubborn. Since Lilith gave up her music dreams, he hadn't contacted Mason.Zoe felt grateful, putting on the coat and bidding farewell to David.She arrived on the ground floor. The cab was taking a while due to the peak hours. After about half an hour, she finally got in, her face pale from the cold.Mason sat in a black Bentley, watching Zoe waiting for the cab with her slender legs trembling in the wind. He watched her tightly wrapping her coat to shield her from the cold wi

Zoe stared back at him calmly.After a while, Mason dialed her phone.Zoe answered, hearing Mason's icy tone. "Get out of the car."Zoe looked at him, speaking softly, "Mason, I told you we're separated. I can be with whoever I want. I won't deliberately distance myself from my friends just because of you. Besides, today is Mrs. Ruby's birthday. I am just having dinner. There's no reason for you to doubt me.""But you know that Cecil likes you.""Why does that matter? Doesn't Lilith like you, too? Did you do anything about that?"…Zoe hung up the phone.Through the car windshield, Mason saw the tears in her eyes. He assumed it was because Lilith was mentioned. It seemed like she still cared.On the other side, Cecil started the car, ready to accelerate and collide.The two cars grazed each other, making a harsh noise.Mason had a bad temper. He had never backed down, especially when it came to someone like Cecil.But Zoe was sitting in the car.He was afraid she would get

Zoe, fearing he might do something even crazier, spoke calmly, "Let's go."Mason loosened his grip on her slightly.She bid farewell to Cecil, who smiled faintly. "Zoe, come over to hang out when you have time. My mom really misses you."Zoe nodded.Ignoring Mason, she walked straight to the black Bentley, opened the passenger door, and got in.Mason followed her into the car.Soon, the car drove away.Cecil stood in place for a long time until his mother came down and approached him. She gently patted her son's shoulder, smiling faintly. "It's no wonder you like her."Cecil put his hands in his pockets. "Mom, I seem to always be a step too late."Ruby held onto his arm, still smiling. "Then, keep her in your heart. When she's in trouble, lend her a hand."…Mason drove very fast.After about five minutes, the car stopped on a sparsely populated roadside with a screeching halt.Zoe sat quietly.Then, she softly said, "Today was Mrs. Ruby's birthday. He just gave me a

At the top floor of the Lockwood Group, Ava knocked lightly on the door and entered.Mason was sitting in the CEO's office, reviewing documents. He wore a three-piece suit, exuding a cool and refined aura.Hearing the sound, Mason looked up. "How's the matter going?"Ava shook her head. "I specifically went to Mr. Aiden's assistant just now. He refused to accept your sponsorship, saying they would find other ways."Mason leaned back.He remained silent for a good while before speaking softly, "I see. You can leave for now."Sensing his bad mood, Ava quickly exited, closing the door behind her.The office fell silent.Mason took out a diamond ring from his pocket and stared at it in silence.Zoe rejected the car he wanted to give her and refused his investment. She even gave up Kirk Manor. It seemed she no longer cared about his relationship with Lilith. She just wanted to leave him. "Don't try to please me with these things anymore. We're separated. Even if we maintain the t

It was her wedding ring!Zoe looked downstairs from the window and found that Mason’s car was, indeed, parked right down there. Dressed in black attire, he was smoking under the evening light, looking all carefree. He was looking right at her when she stared at him.After a brief pause, he called her. Zoe picked up the call and said, “Take the puppy away, Mason.”He said gently, “Its name is Sherry and it’s only three months old! Haven't you always wanted to have a puppy? It’s cute.”Zoe was about to say something, but Mason already hung up the phone. Leaning over, he snuffed out his cigar, raised his eyes, and flashed her a smile. Then, he got into the car and drove off.She was stunned and watched as he drove away into the distance. The puppy was staring right at her when she lowered her head, looking all innocent.Needless to say, she wasn’t going to keep it.Changing into another outfit and shoes, she carried the puppy and prepared to call a cab. She was going to send it b

Zoe went back to her rented apartment. Her cooking was halfway done. It was still there, but she no longer cared about it. Sitting in the darkness, she didn’t turn on the heater. Instead, she just hugged her legs and let her mind wander off. She recalled that she used to fantasize about marrying Mason when she was young. They’d have two kids and a puppy.“Will you be its mom?”His tone was so tender that it was ironically sharp. It stabbed right at her heart and caused so much pain. Six years. That was how long she had loved him. It wasn’t like she could just move on from him……She sat out there for the entire night. Sensing a tightness in her throat, it seemed that she caught a cold.Her phone rang. It was Mia. Her stepmother was asking her to go back home for the New Year celebration.Stunned, she asked, “New Year?”Mia couldn’t help but chuckle, “Did it slip your mind? Today’s the first day of the New Year. Your dad has been looking forward to seeing you since morning.” Th

He called out to her. “Wait a minute!” Turning around, Mason took a document out of the car and gave it to her, “The court has decided on a date for Noah’s case. It falls on the beginning of next year.”Zoe took it, read it repeatedly, and mumbled, “Geez. That’s a long time.” Looking into her eyes, he spoke softly, “Are you going to file for divorce when the court case is over?”She didn’t give him an exact answer, but that was about the size of it.His eyes grew darker as a strong gust blew past them and tousled his hair. Top that off with his white shirt and the deep gray windbreaker, they were tied to form Zoe’s favorite sight.Staring at her intensely, he said, “Didn’t we have a good run a while back? We could’ve had one or two babies in another two years, Zoe. We could have a better, happier life than most people!”Her grip on the documents tightened. After a brief pause, she nodded slightly and said, “It sounds tempting! However, I’d have to tear down and reform myself,

Mason let out a sigh of relief as well. He crouched at the side, took his phone out of his windbreaker, and made a call, “Get my hospital ready for a patient. We’ll be there right away.”There was a brief pause before someone answered, “Understood, Mr. Mason!”Giving Zoe his phone, he helped Gordon up gently, carried him on his back, and went down the stairs. The elevator was out of order. Mason carried a one hundred and fifty-four pounds grown man down ten levels. His white shirt was completely drenched in sweat, but time didn’t allow him to wipe his sweat. Barking at Mia, who looked as panicked as a lost puppy, he said, “Keep Dad upright. Make sure he doesn’t fall!” Then, he prompted Zoe to get into the car.Stepping on the gas pedal, he drove straight for Lockwood Hospital. …The timely resuscitation and the best medical team in the city meant that everything was fine with Gordon. He just needed to stay in the hospital for a few nights.It was midnight and Zoe was staying

In the presidential suite, the newlywed night was fiery, filled with affection and intimacy. The wedding banquet was still bustling with excitement.There was a special guest, who quietly arrived and hoped to leave just as quietly. He was afraid to disturb her mood and feared that if she saw him, she might not be pleased. However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright. Ella adored her younger siblings. Whenever she came home from school, she would always spend some time playing with them first. At night, she would sneak her little sister into her room and cuddle her to sleep, treating her like a little doll.At first, Yanni was quite worried, but she lat

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

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
