I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 175
Zoe felt disheartened, listening to him. She murmured, “If you could feel heartbroken for me, then how did we come to where we are today, Mason?”She felt miserable and refused to say anything further. Taking her purse, she was about to leave. Then, Mason leaned over and held her hands gently, “At least stay for dinner with me!”Shaking her head, she said softly, “It’ll never be appropriate for you to invest in me, Mason! Enjoy your dinner. I’m leaving.”He kept his hand over hers. It was hard to tell what was on his mind. It seemed he pondered on the situation for a long time when he finally took his coat and said, “I’ll give you a ride home!”He had always been assertive and wouldn’t take no for an answer. So, he took her out of the private room and into the black Bentley he parked outside. The moment he opened the car door to the passenger seat, there was a ball of white fur on the seat. It was Sherry!The little puppy was curled up into a ball, lying on the leather seat. It

Zoe took a stroll on the stone pathway. There were more plants and vases in the garden, giving it an abundance of life even in winter. Her late mother’s painting was hung on the marble porch. The living room, however, was completely redone. The furniture was all changed but it retained the previous fashion. The carpets were changed as well. There was a giant mural behind the couch.In the painting, the skies were decorated with stars and a very young Zoe was sleeping in the tent in summer.She stared at it for a long time, only leaving the place when her eyes were tired. The snow was falling heavily by the time she came outside. Some of them fell on her eyelids akin to white feathers in the dark of night.One of the winter jasmines in the corner bent from the weight of the snow piled on top of it. Its yellow petals looked more tender and lovely in sharp relief against the white of the snow.…After Zoe left, Mason returned to the private room and ate dinner listlessly. Ava came

Mason hung up the phone. Leaning on his couch, he watched as the snow fell outside the window, his mind imagining Zoe sitting on hers. Of course, he could just drive over to her place and conquer both her body and her heart. If everything went well, he’d have her for himself tonight.She’d wrap her arms around his neck and take it while he thrust into her. All because she loved him.However, he didn’t put his thoughts into action. There was no need for him to do it because he had already gotten her for himself. Zoe had fallen back in love with him again, both body and mind.It was a serene night with the snow falling gently outside.A servant knocked on the door. “Mr. Eric is here, Mr. Mason! He said he wishes to see you.”Eric… It was probably Lilith’s father. He had no intention of meeting the man.RUbbing his forehead, he said lightly, “Send him away! Tell him I’m sleeping!”The servant hesitated. “Mr. Eric is kneeling at our entrance. It’s terribly cold tonight. We might

It was the middle of the night. Ava was shocked to the core. She came to her senses after a while and couldn’t hold herself back, “The presidential suite is reserved for the Lockwoods and their in-laws, Mr. Mason. If you transfer Ms. Lilith there… Ms. Zoe is not going to be happy if she finds out about it.”Mason barked at the phone, “Just do as I say!”Needless to say, Ava had to carry out his orders, but she couldn’t resist saying before she hung up the phone, “You’re going to regret this someday, Mr. Mason!”Then, she hung up the phone and took a deep breath. She even raised her head slightly, trying to hold back tears. She knew everything from the beginning to what was happening today. She knew clearly why Zoe had returned to her master. She also knew how heartless Mason had been to Zoe. He had let her down over and over again!She used to think that Mason loved Zoe. However, it seemed that this heartless monster’s love for Zoe was so fragile that it couldn’t even withstand a

It felt like she had been away from Lockwood Manor for the longest time.Mason pulled into the entrance, leaned over, and took her coat. Passing it to her, he looked at her intensely, “The snow isn’t too bad. Let’s walk the rest of the way.”Zoe was concerned about the puppy, “Wouldn’t it be too cold for Sherry?” Turning his head around, he looked at the puppy before looking at her and said deliberately, “I’ll keep it in my arms, as long as you won’t feel jealous!”Putting on her coat, she opened the car door, “As if!”Chuckling, he reached over to carry Sherry. “Mommy’s getting angry!” he said softly. The puppy yapped twice in response. He put on his coat, got out of the car with Sherry in his arms, and closed the car door. Walking briskly, he caught up to Zoe and walked beside her while Sherry cuddled in his warm embrace.The snow was falling gently.At the next moment, Zoe couldn’t help but pet the puppy’s head. She was withdrawing her hand when he caught it. His hand

Zoe’s body went limp as she gave in to the temptations. A strong sense of vulnerability washed over her. So, she tried to get up, but he held her down gently. Leaning in her ear, he tilted his head, kissed her teary eyes, and spoke in a husky voice. “I think we have to do it now! I want to give you pleasure, Zoe. I want to make you happy. Tell me. What should I do? What do you want me to do to you now?” With that, he intertwined his fingers with hers.Mason was a good-looking man and he had a way of flirting. No lady could resist him when he was acting like this. What was worse, Zoe loved him for six years. It was no wonder that her body went as soft as jelly beneath him.He lowered himself and kissed her. She couldn’t help but lift her body to kiss him back. That was when he chuckled and moved his lips away. She wanted him. Her cheeks were red when she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He responded with a deep chuckle. Then, he lowered his head and kissed

Zoe went to pick up Ella from the hospital.The chauffeur had just pulled over when someone opened the car door. Zoe was surprised to see who it was.It was Leslie.Standing in the snow, he looked disheartened. Zoe didn’t know what to say when she saw Leslie again, so she sat quietly in the car.In the end, Leslie was the one who spoke first. “We need to talk, Zoe!”…Zoe sat in a coffee shop by the street and looked at the snow piling up outside through the glass, all the while stirring her coffee absentmindedly.Leslie asked, “Is she doing well?”Snapping out of her reverie, she looked at him. He was still dressed nicely and looked impeccable. There was a pack of cigars in his hand, but he didn’t smoke any because it was a non-smoking coffee shop. It was obvious he was kind of irritated.She stopped stirring and took a sip of the coffee. She didn’t raise her eyes. Instead, she kept her eyes on her coffee and said, “Every time I drank coffee with Ella, she’d say that she

David chuckled, “The audience really likes us. The tickets for the show at Hucksburgh were sold out last night.”Zoe was pleasantly surprised. She gave it some thought and said, “How about we hit the road tomorrow?”David couldn’t resist making some jokes at her expense.Ella was happy for her as well. “I’m fine! Go ahead and work on your career. Also, send my thanks to Mason!” She held Zoe tightly. “Live a happy life with him if he treats you well! Let the past stay in the past.”Zoe responded with a husky voice, “Gotcha!”They looked at each other and smiled with tears in their eyes, reminiscent of a simpler time that they shared when they were young.…Zoe left Ella’s place and got into the car. The chauffeur could tell she was in a cheerful mood. He leaned over and asked, “Are we going back to the manor, Ms. Zoe?”Leaning on the seat, she booked a flight ticket to Hucksburgh for herself and sent a text to Mason. It read, “Come home early tonight. I have something to tel

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
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
