I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 198
A tear slid down Zoe’s cheek. It tasted salty when Mason kissed it. Then, he stopped in his tracks and propped himself with one hand while staring at her. After what seemed like forever, he said softly, “I’ll stop here. How about I help you get changed?”She didn’t fight back when he helped her slip into a new set of clothes. Her slender frame and fair skin looked fragile, but in a beautiful way when she wore elegant black clothes. His breathing became irregular when his fingers came into contact with her skin.He was a man with a primal desire for lust. Moreover, he hadn’t done it in a long time.Fixing her gaze on the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, she was completely unfazed by his actions. In a daze, she said, “This isn’t going to work, Mason! The moment you touch me, I’m thrown back to what you did to me in the study that night. I relive the way you forced yourself on me. You made me do something not even the cheapest escorts would do.“I’ll never forget the choice yo

Mason went back to their bedroom, but Zoe was nowhere to be seen. He was frozen to the spot for a few seconds before he climbed the stairs to the third floor and opened the door to the room where she practiced her violin.As he had guessed, she was right there. The violin was tossed onto the ground and she, too, fell onto the carpet. She looked so miserable, as if someone had irreparably ruined her intricate life!Mason felt a pang of guilt at the sight. Taking light steps toward her, he knelt and said tenderly, “How about we travel and clear your mind? Go ahead and pick any country. Didn’t you used to want to go on a honeymoon trip? I can spare an entire month for traveling as soon as I wrap up the jobs I have on hand now.”Lowering her head, she ran her fingers across her violin gently.After a long pause, she said softly, “I want to go to Hucksburgh!”Perhaps she wanted to attend the music concert, he thought. Aiden’s Global Classical Music Concert would be premiering tomorrow.

Zoe was supposed to have opened the Global Classical Music Concert. However, Aiden appeared on the stage and was humiliated for it. He bowed on her behalf, apologizing to the audience over and over. Throughout the entire mortifying experience, he didn’t reveal any part of her private life. He didn’t tell the audience that she had an accident because of her ridiculous husband.David couldn’t stand by and do nothing anymore. He got on the stage and supported Aiden while he said softly, “Let’s refund them, Mr. Aiden! You don’t deserve to be humiliated here!”Aiden shook his head lightly.He said, “This isn’t about money, David! If I refund the audience, then Zoe will be regarded as a blot on the landscape that is the music industry and I will share her fate as well!”David felt a lump in his throat as he struggled to say something.Aiden addressed the audience once again, “I’ll perform in my student’s stead!”However, the audience simply wouldn’t have it. They claimed that Zoe w

The neon lights were lit brightly in Hucksburgh. Both of them stood in the bustling streets. They were a couple, but there wasn’t a shred of intimacy between them. Mason was still hearing what she said in the concert hall.“However, my music career had reached the end of the line due to the injury I sustained in my left arm. For that matter, our marriage reached the end of the line as well. “With that said, I will still love someone if he’s worthy of me. I’ll pursue my other passions as well!”He gulped at the thought of it. She was saying that she would eventually fall in love with another man!Zoe took a step back and said softly while staring at him, “I need a moment with myself. Stop following me. Don’t ask anyone to tail me, either. I’m sick of you asking someone to stalk me, Mason!”Strong winds blew past them, tousling his hair. The glow from the neon lights shone on him, adding a layer of maturity to his brows.Then, it hit him. They were actually a very young couple

She was blessed with the unique gift of fast recovery!It couldn’t be helped that he touched her breasts when he was dressing her wounds. His breathing became irregular and he gulped involuntarily too. It wasn’t as if he didn’t want to do it, but he was concerned that it might make her feel disgusted.Needless to say, she could tell that he was aroused, but she didn’t say it out loud. Then, the doorbell rang and she said, “That has to be the room service. Open the door for them!”Tidying up her clothes, he stared at her intensely. After a brief pause, he asked gently, “Is it still possible to save our marriage?”She didn’t respond to that.The hotel staff knocked on the door more aggressively now. He had no choice but to open it and return with the food trolley.They had a quiet dinner.She was no longer as cold and distant as before. He’d speak to her and she’d reply to him once in a while. She looked fragile, but in a beautiful way when she was calm. That made him want to have

After returning to Brookesville, she bought an apartment that was over a thousand two hundred square feet for Gordon and Mia with the money she got from selling the manor. It wasn’t as extravagant a place as what Mason provided them, but it was comfortable enough.Mia felt uneasy. Pulling Zoe aside, she asked, “You spent all of your money to buy this apartment. What happens if you need more funds for Noah’s case or if you’re in an emergency?”Zoe assured her that there was nothing to worry about.Taking a share certificate out of the drawer, Zoe showed it to her and said, “I own two percent of the Lockwood Corporation’s shares. The dividends alone are worth three hundred million dollars! With this, I won’t ever have to worry about money.”That did nothing to make her feel better, though. She had dealt with Mason on several occasions and she figured she knew a thing or two about him. It had never been easy to take his money, much less the dividends!Zoe noticed Mia wasn’t feeling c

Liam thought Zoe would be resentful. Instead, she was far more calmer than he had expected! He couldn’t imagine how many times she must’ve been hurt for her to be able to remain calm in the face of such unfair treatment.…Zoe went back to her rented apartment to take her stuff, only to find Mason blocking her at the door. He looked grim as he occupied the space between her and the door, holding her good arm lightly.She couldn’t shake him off. Refusing to look at him, she turned her head to the side, “You’re hurting me, Mason!”Pinching her chin, he made her look at him and leaned in. Their faces were so close to each other that his breath lingered on her cheeks. Reaching out, he touched her tender cheeks gently and spoke in a husky voice, “Does it hurt you? Here I am, thinking you’re above such a thing! Do you want to tell me where you went earlier?”She responded with quivering lips, “Are you still stalking me? You’re such a bastard, Mason.”He didn’t deny it.At that mom

It was suffocating in the apartment, but it wasn’t because it was cramped.Why, he stayed in this place not that long ago. They slept on the couch together in this warm, cozy apartment. She was quite reliant on him back then. Naturally, they were quite sweet to each other.All of that ceased the moment the trust between them was torn down. Now, they could never go back to the way things were. For that matter, she finally said what he dreaded all along.“I can’t wait to be in love with another man!”He took a step back and leaned on the wall as he stared at her. The fluorescent light shone on her, giving her fair skin a charming radiance. She tugged her shirt and straightened it up to cover herself. After a long pause, she said, “I’m serious when I say I want to divorce you, Mason. Don’t you have a big project to work on? Isn’t it true that a lot of shareholders are against you? Well, that makes my two percent share all the more important now!”His eyes grew dark.She looked a

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.
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1462
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
