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 Zoeโs chest when she looked at her babyโs 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 motherโs 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 Masonโs voice when he spoke affectionately, โYouโre still new to this. So, it might hurt a little!โStill refusing to speak with him, she resorted to giving him a cold shoulder. Lowering her

Mason wanted to hold her, but she wouldnโt let him near her. She said softly, โDonโt come any closer, Mason! Stay where you are!โ It sounded like she was at her witโs end.He didnโt even realize that Zoe succumbed to postpartum depression. Her family was torn apart and she had no loved ones at her side, so she didnโt 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 didnโt 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!โฆZoe was still trapped in the manor and she continue

Ella tried every method she could think of, but she couldnโt even meet Zoe. Mia cried her eyes out every day.Out of options, she decided sheโd look for Leslieโs help. The night before, she smoked cigarettes throughout the entire night on the balcony. She even drank beers.Then, she started chuckling in tears when she was drunk. She murmured Leslie's name over and over again.She hated him to the bone!โฆLeslie was sitting in his office at the Imperial Hotel. He rested his legs on the desk. He was having the fiercest fight with the Lynches lately. So, he was tense and irritable.Then, his assistant, Lidia, came in, looking troubled, โMs. Ella is here to see you, Mr. Leslie.โWho the hell is this Ella?Without much thought, he decided he didnโt want to meet the stranger. He said casually, โSend her packing! Issue her a check if she doesnโt leave. Tell her to keep her mouth shut about it.โHowever, Lidia didnโt leave. She added, โItโs Ms. Ella, Mr. Leslie. Itโs Ms Zoeโs friend
I Refuse to Divorce!ย ย ย Chapter 295
Ella knew they were going to meet up and she prepared a lot of stuff for Zoe and her baby. Onesies and toys for the baby and supplements for Zoe. She stuffed all of them in her car. She thought about what she wanted to say too, but she broke down crying the moment she saw her friend. Zoe looked so miserable and sickly! She was very scrawny. Her chin was still defined, but there was a sickly air about her. Zoe looked nothing like a lady who had just given birth to a child. All her other friends who delivered a baby were brimming with energy and livelihood. It was such a heartbreaking sight. She touched Zoe and asked with a trembling voice, โWhat is he doing to you? Why are you this thin? Did you go to the doctor?โIt had been a long time since Zoe last saw Ella. Her eyes were filled with tears as well, but she chose to speaking lightly to her friend, instead of telling the truth. โI haven't had much of an appetite lately. Thereโs nothing to worry about here!โWas Ella supposed t

All Mason succeeded in doing was hurting Zoe.However, she refused to moan out of pain. Instead, she strained her eyes and focused on the chandelier hanging off the ceiling. She recalled that he ordered it from Inverleigh when things were still going well for them.She loved it very much. Theyโd be having sex back then and she could just raise her head and bask in its resplendence and extravagance while it swung gently. Now, however, it was blinding and chilling to look at.They were hugging each other and he was trying hard to pleasure her. However, all she felt was a cold indifference. There was no joy or any tingling sensation when their flesh touched. All that remained was disdain and revulsion!She started to tremble lightly. Then, she yelled out involuntarily when she couldn't take it anymore. โIt hurtsโฆ MasonโฆโSuddenly, he stopped in his tracks. Burying his face on her chest, he left his hand dangling on her thin waist. Their clothes were in a mess and both of them wer

Half an hour later, the black Land Rover pulled into Lockwood Hospital.Zoe never thought sheโd bump into someone she knew when she got out of the car. It was Lilithโs parents, but they didnโt come alone. There was a girl who was younger than their daughter. She was pretty and looked pure as well as innocent. Her eyes sparkled too. In all honesty, she was better looking than Lilith was.That lady was staring right at Mason now.Carly mustโve gotten her for Mason, Zoe thought to herself. This explained why they were back in Brooksville. She didnโt mind, though. Lowering her gaze, she smiled faintly and brushed past them, walking straight to the outpatient department with Deborah in tow.Mason outright ignored them the way he would strangers. Closing the car door, he was about to leave when Eira spoke softly, โIs that Ms. Zoe?โShe had seen Zoeโs pictures and knew she was delicate and graceful. Having seen Zoe personally had shocked her deeply. Eira used to think that Mason an

Mason was pondering on Zoeโs condition while he was smoking. The doctor had told him to do things thatโd make her happy, but he was at a loss now. He didnโt even know how to make his wife happy. It seemed that everything he did was wrong.A slender figure stood behind him. It was Eira! She didnโt disturb him. Instead, she merely looked at him from afar. He seemed so lonely. Why was that? Wasnโt he happily married with a daughter? He shouldโve been enjoying life. So, why did she get the feeling that he isnโt happy?After smoking two cigarettes, he was about to leave. However, the moment he turned around, he saw Eira. He was a mature man and it wasnโt hard for him to guess what Eira thought about him.He knew she had a crush on him.His eyes grew darker as he walked toward her. Eiraโs heart started pounding. She assumed heโd say something to her. After all, they knew each other.To her dismay, he brushed past her without so much as a โhello.โDisappointed, she couldnโt help b

Zoe was shocked when she woke up. Her lips were slightly opened and she was panting lightly, as if she was still flooded with the tantalizing pleasure she felt earlier. There was an air of feminine charm about her with a hint of pure innocence.Then, she buried her face into the pillows. She didnโt want to face Mason and she certainly didnโt want to think about the orgasm she just had. She was weighed down with intense guilt!Turning her face to him, he leaned over and kissed her. Then, he asked, โDo you want to go again?โ He very much wanted to do it. He could feel his blood pumping through his veins and was ready for another round. She responded softly, โI donโt want to do it again.โHowever, he seemingly didnโt hear it. He was so racked with lust that all he cared about was seeking pleasure from her body. There was no way he heard her in his manic state.It was pleasurable for him. So, he assumed it was the same for her.The next thing she knew, he was thrusting into he

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 wasnโt 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 everyoneโs surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. โDon't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?โMason didnโt 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 brotherโs face and marvel: "Itโs really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husbandโs looks are the wifeโs glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, โShe 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 doesnโt mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesnโt know when to keep quiet, but luckily, sheโs 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 didnโt 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 canโt 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 familyโs sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didnโt 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 Zionโs car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, โZion came to school. Thereโs 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!โGwen playfully replied, โYou really know how to enjoy life.โThe leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, โSee? Your teacherโs wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.โGwen 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 โMs. Gwen.โGwen corrected them, โItโs Ms. Gwen.โThe students laughed and teased, โMs. 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 didnโt 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 didnโt care, but he couldnโt 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 didnโt 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.โWhen will you be back?โOn the other end, Zion checked the time and said, โIโll 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, โThis is my secondary card. Thereโs no credit limit.โ Gwen gasped softly, then teased, โWow, arenโt you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.โ Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, โThank you, my sugar daddy.โ Zionโs 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. โTurns out youโve got a thing for bad boy
