Ella responded with a smile, “Go ahead.”

Mason was at the central court of Skyline Galleria. He stood by a window, smoking in silence.

He put some serious thought into his outfits today. Donned in a white shirt, he wore a bespoke grey suit over it. However, he looked so lonely when he smoked!

He had been here for half an hour. He saw two rows of flower stands and one of them stood out. Calla lilies. It was no easy feat finding them in this season. He glanced at the sender's card.

It was Cecil!

Zoe probably loved it. That was why she put it in the center. On the other hand, he had bought eight flower stands for her, but they were put aside. Apparently, she didn’t love them.

That was why Mason didn’t go into her dessert spot. A thought came over him when he was smoking. She didn’t even want to say what he wanted to hear last night. Was it because she loved someone else? That could explain why she wasn’t able to tell him that she loved him.

Zoe found Mason and saw him all b

    The party for the opening ceremony came to an end. Zoe thanked every guest for coming as they filed out of her dessert spot. She did some stock-taking before saying goodbye to Ella. Needless to say, Ella could tell that something was wrong with them and she was quite worried.Smiling faintly, she said, “It’s fine! All couples bicker sometimes!”Then, she sent her friend into the cab and watched as they left. Crossing her arms, she headed to the parking lot.The wind blew past her in the night.She was still thinking about how she should face him later!Mason drove the black Bentley tonight. He was smoking in the car. Wisps of grey smoke shot out of his mouth and got scattered by the wind, making him look a little cold and alone.Getting into the car, she lowered her head and was about to buckle in when he snuffed out his cigarette and leaned over, “Allow me.”“I can do it myself!” She had just uttered the words, but he had already gripped her hands. They were so close to each

    However, she shed her tears for another man. Leaning back on his seat lightly, he lowered his gaze and smirked at himself. He was feeling quite good about himself for the whole day while his wife was disheartened because she couldn’t be with another man! It’d always be her biggest regret not ending up together with Cecil.She didn’t love him because she had given her heart to Cecil. Her heart was already taken. That was why she didn’t have room for him.He could honestly say that he had been nothing but good to her recently!He knew she liked to be treated gently and that was what he did. He had never forced himself on her ever since they were remarried. He dared say that both of them wanted it when they had sex every time! If she was even slightly uncomfortable with it, he’d hold himself back.He was trying to pleasure her and make her feel happy. He was trying to be there for her! However, it turned out that he was merely patting himself on the back because none of it mattered

    The party in the private room was still going strong.Gregory was there as well. His friendship with Mason was strained due to his feelings for Zoe. He couldn’t be bothered to greet him. It was midnight and the other guys in the private room had left. However, Mason was still leaning back on the couch, smoking with a blank face. The ashtray before him was filled to the brim with cigarette butts.Gregory gave him a sidelong glance and smirked, “What’s the matter? Trouble in paradise? What brought you here to drown your sorrows in alcohol? “I guess it makes sense. Not so easy being the simp, huh? Zoe spent a long time trying to please you these past few years. Now, it's your turn to feel how she felt.”Snorting, Mason said, “We’re just fine!” Then, he leaned over and snuffed the cigarette, “It’s much better than coveting something you could never have! Give up on her, Gregory!”On the other hand, Gregory very much wanted to piss him off. “Really? I think it’s still too early to t

    Mason chose to let her see his white shirt in this condition. What was he trying to tell her?Was he hinting at her that he was starting to not take their marriage seriously? Or, was he trying to assert his freedom?In any case, she chose to ignore it. Rinsing the white shirt, she put some detergent on it and started to rub and wash it. As she cleaned the shirt, the smell of perfume and the lipstick were gone as well, as if nothing happened last night.The white shirt looked as good as new.She was about to take it to the dryer when he took it from her and tossed it in the bin. Glancing at it quietly for a few seconds, she raised her eyes to meet his gaze.He was tall and had a firm physique. His black hair was tousled as well, looking charming in the early morning. She couldn’t help but wonder about something. Mason had such a tantalizing body. Was it possible he rolled in the sack with a lady last night?However, she couldn’t be bothered to ask him. Looking into her eyes, he

    Mason was already dressed nicely while Zoe was still sitting on the sink.She felt cold all over.She knew his character all too well and she was sure he wouldn’t let her off easily. However, if someone asked if she regretted telling him about it, she’d say firmly that she didn’t regret it.The fact was, she couldn’t regret it!He pushed her to the brink of collapse. At that point, she didn’t have enough wits about her to lie. At that moment, she looked like a mess while he looked impeccable!Leaning on the wall, he had a cigarette between his lean fingers. Wisps of grey smoke lingered in the restroom and blurred their vision a little.His voice was slightly husky when he asked, “When did it happen?”Her nightgown was a mess. She shielded herself with her arms, but it didn’t make her feel warm at all. Her face was devoid of color as well.Staring at him for a long time, she said slowly, “It was back when Ella had the accident. I thought about being together with him then! How

    Ava got out of the car with suitcases in her hands.Then, the bedroom door opened. It was Mason.Wearing formal attire, his dashing face revealed a suppressed lust. She didn’t see any traces of the ruthlessness he exhibited last night. Under her stare, he walked over to her, grabbed the paper, and asked casually, “Did you see it?”She remained quiet.Putting down the newspaper, he smirked, “That’s right! You don’t care!” Then, he walked toward the door. She said softly, “What do you want, Mason?”Turning around slowly, he wore a blank expression when he stared at her. His voice was cold when he said, “What do you think it is that I want, Zoe?”She responded quietly, “If you love Gabriela, I’m more than okay to end our marriage so you can be with her officially! Instead, what are you doing with her now? You’re giving her some semblance of hope which you’re going to snuff out eventually. Don’t you think that’s cruel?”Sneering, he said, “How high and mighty!

    It was Sunday afternoon. The outdoor party was held on the lawn outside their manor. Aside from Mason’s guests, Zoe also invited several friends over. Rosemary was one of them. She even brought over Farley.The last time he saw her, he was amazed by her glorious appearance. Looking at the private party, he was astounded by her capability this time. He brought a bottle of champagne with him and said regretfully, “I’m surprised to learn that you remarried Mason again. That means I’ve missed out on you twice!”His honesty was refreshing to her, instead of annoying her.Smiling faintly, she said, “You’re too kind, Farley.”He was a smart man. He could tell she wasn’t happy with her marriage. Mason was engaged in a business conversation while Gabriela held his arm, acting like she was the mistress of the manor.Averting his gaze, he said to her after a brief pause, “My invitation from when we first met still stands, Zoe. Should you change your mind and want to start a business in Sil

    Lowering his head, he looked at Gabriela. He held her waist and carried her up. He brushed past Zoe and said in a cold tone, “See to our guests, Zoe!”It was an afternoon in spring. The sun was shining bright, but Zoe didn’t feel a shred of warmth. Her husband had humiliated her and made her look bad in front of their guests. It was a good thing she didn’t invite Ella to this party. Otherwise, she just might pick a fight with him here and now.The party guests started murmuring among themselves.Everyone was wondering if Zoe could hold on to her status as Mason’s wife. His choice was obvious from his earlier reaction.That was when Rosemary raced over and said in a fit of rage, “Gabriela has stepped over the line! She disgraced herself, trying to hold onto a married man!”Smiling bitterly, Zoe said, “It takes two to tango! She isn’t the only one at fault here! If Mason hadn’t given her the chance, she wouldn't be able to get close to him.”Rosemary’s heart broke for her. Then,

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
