I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 286
Turning around, Zoe looked at him quietly. After a brief moment, she said in a resigned tone, “Don’t bother! Noah has given up on his right to appeal! You said we’ll get divorced after our baby is born. All I want is Yanni. I don’t need anything else.”The wind howled in the night.She used to be in love with him madly, but none of the love remained now. She was all drained.Mason spoke again, “Please forgive me, Zoe. I can’t just give up on our marriage. It’s my fault for being so harsh that day. I know Layla was the one who picked up the call from…”However, she smiled miserably and cut him off. “Do you think an explanation is going to save our marriage, Mason?”She and Noah lost their father that night. Then, she almost died as well as lost Yanni on the same night. There was nothing Mason could say to make up for all of that. She wasn’t sure who to blame or hate for it. All she knew was that she didn’t want to see or talk to him. Just as she started to leave, he came over,

Mason nodded, signaling the private nurses to leave them.There was now a crib in the bedroom and Yanni was sleeping in it. Her breath smelled sweet as she slept, as if everything was fine with the world.Zoe had been occupied with a lot of things ever since she was born. She had barely seen her daughter. Something stirred at her heart when she looked at Yanni, sleeping away quietly. This was the result of her eight-month pregnancy. She bore through a great deal of pain in order to give birth to Yanni and she knew it hadn’t been easy for her baby to wriggle out of her womb as well. It was all she could do to contain herself so she wouldn’t wake Yanni up. Then, she touched her baby’s face and realized it was warm!Of course, she wanted to see Yanni. This was her baby. She spent every ounce of energy to give birth to her.Mason was moved by the moment as well. He couldn’t resist hugging her from behind and speaking in a hushed voice, “Let me look after you and the baby, Zoe. We’l

Zoe had given up on him completely.She was at death’s door and she had lost her father. How could she not hate him? How could she sleep in the same bed with this man who brought her so much misery? If she returned to him again, then how was she supposed to answer her deceased father? If she lavished herself with the wealth he could give her, then what was the point of Noah going to jail? How was she supposed to live down the fact that she almost died that night?Underneath the chandelier, Mason stared at her in silence. After a brief moment, he said softly, “Let’s talk about our marriage later. I think I should feed Yanni first.”The fact was, he had looked forward to having this baby. There were baby classes in his company. Although he was the director, but he did attend it for a period. That was when they hit the lowest point in their relationship. Regardless of that, he had still been eager for the birth of his baby!After making the milk, he shook the bottle gently and car

Mason gulped. He came back to his senses after a brief moment and sent the lactation specialist away.By the time he went back to the bedroom, Zoe was already dressed. She had wrapped herself tightly, leaving no exposed flesh, and looked like she was ready to leave.Underneath the crystal chandelier, he stared at her quietly, “Are you leaving?”Instead of denying it, she said, “I have to attend to some matters. I’ll be back in a few days to look at Yanni. After that, I’ll be taking her away with me!”The chandelier shone brightly above them, but Mason’s eyes turned red. He said, “Your husband and your baby are here. Where do you think you’re going, Zoe?”What a way with words!She didn’t intend to fight with him. She didn't have the energy to. She merely stared at her miserably and asked him softly, “Do you still consider yourself my husband? Don’t you find that absurd? You seemed to have forgotten that you slapped me for Lilith’s sake. You also abandoned me for her when I needed

Zoe didn’t answer the question. For that matter, she couldn’t have if she wanted to. The tranquilizer was working its way through her and her eyes were slowly closing before she drifted into slumber. She was thin, weak, and devoid of her once graceful demeanor.He touched her cheek lightly, only to find her responding with tears. She was already asleep, but she was still subconsciously rejecting his touch.An intense pain filled Mason’s heart at that moment. He looked at her for quite some time before rising slowly and walking away. All of the lights in the ground-floor living room were turned on. There was a newborn in the house and that meant the servants were busy cleaning up the place and making herbal soups. Everyone had their own duty to perform.He treaded slowly when he walked downstairs. Lowering his head, he looked at the new carpet and felt as if he could still smell the blood in the air. His hands trembled out of nowhere. He took out a cigarette, but left it unlit.It

Mason sat there quietly. His expression was darker than the gloomy cell. After that, he said softly, “Forget about it!”He knew just how stubborn Noah could be. If he had decided to give up his right to appeal to the court, then he wasn’t about to change his mind. It wasn’t so much that he didn’t want the freedom as it was about him not wanting to owe Mason a favor. He was trying to protect his sister.At that moment, Mason finally realized it was too late for him to salvage the relationship.The entire Sanders family wanted nothing to do with him. In the end, he took the overnight flight back to Brookesville. It was seven o’clock by the time he made it back to the manor. The black Rolls-Royce drove past the carved metal gate and pulled into the manor.Luke said softly, “Ms. Mia is here, Mr. Mason.”Mason had been resting his eyes from traveling to so many places in a single night, but he opened the car door the moment he heard what Luke said. He greeted her. “Hi, Mia.”It w

Zoe woke up around noon. The moment she opened her eyes, Yanni was in her arms. She was wearing a light pink onesie, sleeping soundly. An inexplicable joy rose in Zoe’s chest when she looked at her baby’s features.A moment later, she felt warm tears building up in her eyes.Then, Yanni woke up. At first, she cried a little. Then, she seemingly smelled her mother’s scent and started to wriggle towards her. She was still too young, though. So, she was having a problem doing that.Zoe was still feeling weak, but she leaned over and moved to breastfeed her. It was all new to her, though, so she was a little clumsy when she tried to undo the clasp of her nursing bra.Yanni could wait no longer and burst into tears, her face turning red.Then, a warm hand undid the clasp for her. She could hear Mason’s voice when he spoke affectionately, “You’re still new to this. So, it might hurt a little!”Still refusing to speak with him, she resorted to giving him a cold shoulder. Lowering her

Mason wanted to hold her, but she wouldn’t let him near her. She said softly, “Don’t come any closer, Mason! Stay where you are!” It sounded like she was at her wit’s end.He didn’t even realize that Zoe succumbed to postpartum depression. Her family was torn apart and she had no loved ones at her side, so she didn’t even have anyone to confide in. To make things worse, he kept her here against her will and insisted that he was making it up to her, not realizing the irony of his actions!It was a mess in the bedroom and it felt suffocating in there.Both of them used to have sweet, endearing moments, but this was where they were now.Mason continued to keep her in the manor against her will. Mia didn’t know what else to do. Ella tried a lot of ways. She had used every method imaginable to try to spring Zoe out, but she couldn't even meet up with her.That was when she finally realized just how powerful Mason actually was!…Zoe was still trapped in the manor and she continue

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
