I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 203
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

Barbara proceeded to talk a lot to him.Leaning on the chair, Mason listened to his grandmother quietly as a lump began to form in his throat. After a brief pause, he responded softly, “I’ll do that!”Hanging up the phone, he raised his head and looked at Zoe’s apartment. Evening rolled on and the apartment was lit by a small lamp with an orange glow.All of a sudden, he wondered what she was doing in there. Was she cleaning up the place and making snacks, like she normally did?It was nothing more than a mundane sight, but it was a sight he might not be able to see with his own eyes again.…It was raining when Mason drove back to the manor. Layla came over with an umbrella and opened the car door for him.He asked without thinking, “Where’s Zoe?”Layla was stunned for a little before responding softly, “Ms. Zoe had moved out! Did it slip your mind, Mr. Mason?” He was rooted to the spot at her response. The rain continued to pour and masked some of his expressions. He rema

Zoe received Mason’s call in the middle of the night. It was raining heavily outside and his voice was muffled, “Come over to the manor at four o’clock in the afternoon tomorrow. We’ll talk about the divorce.”She was startled. She knew she had him where she wanted him and how he was going to react, but she didn’t think it’d be this smooth. He was agreeing to the idea of a divorce that easily.Various emotions washed over her and stunned her for a good while. She came to her senses eventually and said, “Let’s talk about it in the law firm!”However, he was adamant about it. “I don’t want a third person to come between us. Come back to the manor, Zoe. Otherwise, we’re done!”Lowering her gaze, she said lightly, “Someone already came between us. That’s the problem! It’s pointless to argue with you, Mason. If you want to have the talk at your manor, then we’ll do it that way. I’ll be there on time.”With that, she hung up the phone. The rain continued to pour as she stared out the

Did Mason think she didn’t know what he was thinking?She responded softly, “Let’s end it once and for all, Mason. That’d be better for both of us.”He blinked gently. Instead of answering her immediately, he lit a cigarette by the window, but he snuffed it out halfway through. Then, he said, “Do you hate me this much? Are you not going to give me one last chance? Fine, then! I guess it’s better if we cut ties completely!”In the end, they agreed on a five hundred million settlement. That’d mean Zoe would get a total of two manors, four apartments, and the aforementioned amount of money. On top of that, she’d get Liam’s legal contract for Noah’s case. Mason proceeded to add the amended clauses to their divorce agreement. He signed it quickly, worried that he might change his mind if he didn’t do it fast enough. The ink from the pen almost permeated through all of the pages of the agreement.He couldn’t bring himself to see it when it was Zoe’s turn to sign.It was finally over

Zoe ran into Ava on her way down the stairs. Mason’s secretary was sitting on the couch in the living room with a wearied look on her face. She probably had been waiting here for a long time.The moment she saw Zoe, she rose and greeted her, “Ms. Zoe.”Zoe stopped in her tracks and said softly, “I’ve just signed the divorce agreement with Mason. So, know this. I’m not his wife anymore.”What a shame, Ava thought.She hesitated for a short while and decided to say something after all, “Mr. Mason cared a lot about you, actually/ He had never slept with Lilith in all the time he knew her. Perhaps you should reconsider it, Zoe! It wasn’t easy to get to where you guys are today.”Lowering her head, Zoe looked at her left arm and murmured, “Exactly! It wasn’t easy for me to be where I am today and he ruined everything for me!”Ava was a little disheartened upon hearing that. On the other hand, Zoe had walked out of the manor. She was determined to leave. As she said, she didn’t want

Zoe couldn’t help but tear up. Gripping the steering wheel, Mason didn’t start the engine for a long time. Then, he turned his head to the side, looked at her, and said, “Sherry has been missing you a lot for the past few days.”She turned her head to the side and said, “Just drive.”Tearing his gaze away from her, he kept his eyes on the road. About five seconds later, he started the engine and drove slowly. The black Bentley’s tires rolled over the thin pockets of snow as it drove slowly on the street, taking them to places they had never been. They missed out on so many things in the last three years they were married. Now that they were officially divorced, he couldn’t recall more than a few sweet moments they shared. Most of the memories were either painful or a result of his manipulation!It was a twenty-minute drive, but he dragged it out to an hour.With that said, he could drive as slowly as he wanted, but every journey came to an end eventually. He leaned over and s

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
