I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 265
Gabriela was led into the guest room. Layla was moving quietly when she served her tea. She even spoke softly when she asked her to enjoy her tea. Disheartened, Gabriela thought maybe the servants were being more thoughtful and moved carefully because their mistress was pregnant. That was the last thing she had expected to happen!Didn’t they have a bad relationship? So, why did Zoe get pregnant when they weren’t even remarried for that long?The gentle drizzle continued to shower the manor outside, dampening her spirits even further.At that moment, the door to the guest room was opened. She raised her eyes immediately and met Mason’s gaze. He was just standing there, seemingly not interested in coming in. There was no longer a flirtatious look on his face, nor was there any hint of romance in his eyes. Instead, he looked more like a husband who stayed home and took care of his family!Then, he closed the door. It was probably because he didn’t want the servants to overhear

“I trust you,” Zoe said.Touching her face gently, he couldn’t resist touching her tender ears. It was her sensitive spot. This is where he’d nibble on every time he wanted to please her. Then, she’d wrap herself around him affectionately.It had been a long time since he had had any sex. His mind traveled back to the moments when they were pleasing each other. As a result, his voice was a little husky when he said, “I’ll pull the car around. Go ahead and ask Layla to get you a coat. It’s chilly out there.”Then, he stood up and left. Zoe watched him as he walked away. He had always put some thoughts into the way he dressed. Right now, he was wearing a deep gray shirt and a handmade suit over it. Looking at his back alone told her how elegant he was. It was no wonder why so many young ladies swooned over him.Lowering her head, she ran her hands across her belly affectionately. She was pondering on the fact that it actually wasn’t that hard to pretend to be a lovely couple with M

Mason was working in his company and he was signing the last document. Then, he closed it and tried to ask Ava casually, “Do you know about any restaurant that’s atmospheric and suitable for a date?”She gave it some thought before responding, “It depends on which lady you’re taking with you. If it’s Ms. Zoe, then I’d recommend the Mexican restaurant in Westholme. If it’s Gabriela, however, it’d be wise to pick a more secluded spot.”His face turned sour at what she said.Rising, he took a coat and said lightly, “There’s nothing between me and Gabriela.”Holding the documents in front of her chest, she followed him and said, “I heard that she picked a bone with you at your manor. A word of advice, Mr. Mason. Don’t think you're in the clear just yet. After all, Ms. Zoe hardly made a fuss over it.” She meant every word she said.He stood in front of the elevator and watched the number on the screen go up. He remained quiet, but his heart sank!…Getting into the car, he was abou

Mason smiled lightly and said, “Don’t worry, Grandma! I’m doting on her at every turn.”That was what Barbara wanted to hear, as evident from the smile blooming across her face. She wanted Mason to return home and look after Zoe. “You shouldn't have come over here! I’m ill. I might bring some bad luck to the baby.”Smiling, he responded, “That’s impossible! My baby isn’t even born yet.” It was clear from his tone that he was overjoyed to have a baby, and she was happy for him too.Sweeping her eyes across the room and out the window, she thought the impending arrival of a new baby breathed new life into the manor. She was looking forward to the baby’s birth.He went downstairs and ran into his mother. Lisa was busy overseeing the dinner preparation. It looked like she expected him to stay for dinner, but he rejected her, “Zoe’s losing her appetite lately. I should be home.”Lisa had much to say about Zoe. She had always preferred to have a submissive daughter-in-law. It’d be bette

After a brief moment, Zoe responded gently, “I’m going to Silvercrest. Rosemary recommended a pretty good location to me last month. I thought it was a strategic location and secured it.”Silvercrest? That was surprising. Lowering his head, he closed his lips on hers. After a long, intense kiss, he murmured, “Do you like that city so much?” He was on a mission to make her happy. So, he reached out and took his phone, “I’ll ask Ava to look over my schedule. I’ll go with you if I can. We can enjoy some leisure time after your work is done.”“It’s fine.” Propping herself up, she stopped him from taking the phone. “I’ll be back when my work is done. Moreover, I’m not really keen on a leisure trip. I’m feeling a little lazy, actually.”His eyes grew darker while her heart pounded like crazy. She was worried he might sense something wasn’t right, but he merely closed her bathrobe after staring at her for a long time. He couldn’t resist fondling her supple breasts when he was tying up

Mason recognized the elegant man. He was Farley, the famous businessman in Silvercrest! If his memory served him right, Rosemary was pretty close to this man. She even invited him to the outdoor party Mason had in his manor. Did that mean Rosemary was responsible for Zoe’s friendship with him?Sneering, he walked over to their table. Zoe raised her eyes and was stunned to see him in the restaurant. She murmured, “What are you doing here, Mason?”Smiling faintly, he held her shoulders, looked at her, and said tenderly, “I wanted to surprise you. So, I found out from your assistant that you’re having dinner here!”Extending a hand to Farley, he smiled politely, “We meet again, Farley!” Farley took his hand and introduced his daughter to Mason. Then, Mason patted her head affectionately and said with a smile, “Zoe loves kids. Thanks for bringing your daughter along, Farley!” With that, he sat down next to Zoe and joined their dinner.Both he and Farley were successful businessmen.

Mason had snuffed out his cigarette and was looking out the window by the time Zoe got out of the bathroom. He didn’t turn his head around when he heard footsteps behind him. Putting his phone on the bar counter, he said softly, “Lockwood Corporation has tens of thousands of employees and most of its business in Brookesville. You know very well that I can’t move to Silvercrest. I can’t just uproot my company!”He probably found out about her plans, Zoe thought. Walking over, his back was still turned to her when she checked his phone for a few seconds before putting it back down.“You knew.”“Do you want to know what I know?” Turning to the side, he looked at her and asked gently, “I know that you don’t love me and that you want to leave me. Have you given some thought to it and decided this was the most unprovocative way to leave me? “You counted on our marriage going stale and taking our kid with you when I no longer cared about our family. Is that it?”She didn’t deny it.

Things between Zoe and Mason hit a real, low point ever since their fight in Silvercrest.He rarely came home. If he did, it was only to get changed. They didn’t exactly talk to each other. He would even ask about her pregnancy through Ava.On the other hand, Barbara’s condition was getting worse. They would visit her, but they’d never do it together. One would visit Barbara in the daylight while the other would do it at night. They didn’t want to see each other and make things awkward.This went on day after day. Even Barbara noticed what was happening, but she was powerless to do anything. Every once in a while, some scandal about Mason would surface and make the rounds.Summer was gone and autumn came. Zoe was having her breakfast at the dining table in the morning. The trees were particularly green outside and the weather held up as well.Mason’s scandals made the newspaper. He checked into a hotel with a beautiful celebrity. Somebody took pictures of them walking in the h

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
