I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 306
It was eight o’clock in the night by the time Mason was done with the video conference. Instead of going back to the bedroom, he walked over to the window in the study and smoked a couple of cigarettes. A wisp of smoke hung in the air, covering the study with a greenish hue.Mist covered the entire window. He reached out and wiped the glass, only to find four inches thick of pockets of snow gathered on the ground. It snowed particularly heavily this winter, it seemed.With a cigarette between his fingers, he breathed out wisps of smoke as he stared out the window with deep, profound eyes. He stood there like that until he finished smoking. Then, he snuffed out the cigarette and left the study.The first thing he saw was the company yearbook when he stepped into the private lounge. It was just laid there, looking conspicuous. He flipped through it and saw the picture where he stood shoulder to shoulder with Eira. It’d be pushing it to claim that there was nothing between them.Zoe h

Mason didn’t feel the need to hide his intention. He proceeded to roll over and got up from the bed. The moment he opened the door, cold air rushed in and disturbed Yanni, who started to moan in the crib. Zoe rose and patted her baby’s back, trying to put her back to sleep.Moments later, he came back into the bedroom. He cast a glance at Zoe before making his way to the fitting room to get changed. Then, he said, “I need to head out. You and Yanni can go ahead and sleep.”Carrying Yanni in her arms, she went over to the fitting room. He was in the middle of changing out of the bathrobe and into his shirt and casual pants. It might be snowing heavily out there, but he wasn’t going to dress thoughtlessly. After all, he was about to meet Eira in the middle of the night.Then, he saw Zoe in his peripheral visions and frowned, “Why aren’t you going back to sleep?”Lowering her head, she checked on her baby, “Yanni’s making a fuss! If you care about Eira that much, why don’t you just

It was the middle of the night when Mason pulled his car over in front of an apartment. The snow was falling heavily and Eira, who was waiting for him downstairs, was particularly agitated. The moment she saw him, she leaped into his arms and couldn’t help but murmur, “I’m so scared, Mr. Mason! Wendy took four sleeping pills. I thought she would die right there and then…”He closed the car door with his backhand, lowered his head, and stared at the young lady in his arms. She did cross the line, but he didn’t scowl at her. Instead, he merely pushed her away lightly. “Is she okay now?”Eira raised her eyes and looked at him. There were tears in her puppy-like eyes. Biting her lips, she said, “Her family made it here. They’re trying to comfort her now. So, it might not be a good time to visit her in the dorm.”Then, she looked both shy and uneasy. She was still hesitating when he opened the door to the passenger seat and said nonchalantly, “Get in the car!”She couldn’t read Mason.

Mason didn’t push her away immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at her. She resembled Zoe a little and reminded him of when his wife was a young lady. She, too, had snuck up on him, hugged him, and said with a jovial voice, “I love you, Mason. Will you be my boyfriend? I’m packed full of qualities you want, I swear!”Then, she proceeded to name the qualities, only to find that she was drawing a blank. After a brief moment, he pushed Eira away and said lightly, “I’m a married man!”Rejected, Eira’s face turned red as she bit her lips and murmured, “I know my place! I won’t come between you and your family. I won’t ask for much the way Lilith did, either. I’m content with what you give me.”She was contented with him accompanying her a little, just like he did tonight.In fact, she didn’t have to put everything out there. Mason was perfectly aware of her crush on him. He could choose to ignore her, but he came eventually.However, she had made all of this meaningle

Zoe was lying on the bed in the Lockwood Hospital. The doctors managed to pull her back from the dead, but she was still very weak and needed to stay in the hospital for further observation. Standing by the window, Mason watched the gathered snow on top of the tree branches. The doctor said softly from behind him, “Ms. Zoe took more than twenty sleeping pills. It was probably a suicide attempt brought on by her postpartum depression. I suggest you let her go through the psychotherapy and keep her away from the source of her distress. That should help her kick off the depression sooner.”After a brief moment, he responded lightly, “Okay.”Then, the doctor left.Turning around, Mason looked at Zoe who was lying quietly on the bed. He hadn’t stopped trembling since he found her unconscious in their bedroom. She almost died. If he had come home half an hour later, then she might very well have crossed over onto the other side and Yanni would’ve been motherless.All of a sudden, t

They couldn’t agree on plans for Yanni’s future.In the end, Mason didn’t agree to her terms. He looked at Zoe intensely, but there was no lingering affection in his eyes. In fact, it had only been four months since he said he wanted to make it up to her.After he left, she carried her frail body to the restroom, supported herself on the sink, and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked so weak and miserable.Mason wouldn’t set her free. She didn’t know how long she’d last this time or how long she could stay by Yanni’s side……A few days later, Zoe was discharged from the hospital and allowed to go home. She tried to kill herself again. This time, she slit her wrist!Blood was everywhere on the bathroom floor. It was being washed away by an endless stream of hot water from the faucet. Zoe was lying over the bathtub. There were more deep slashes across her wrist, which already had scars to begin with.She was sent to the hospital again and, this time, Mason had to transfuse

Mason couldn’t sleep. The blood in the bedroom had been cleaned up a long time ago, but he could smell the coppery stench in the air, reminding him of the tragedy that took place a mere few hours ago.He and Zoe had finally come to the end of the line.Yanni cried for hours. He couldn't calm her down until past midnight. Then, he passed her to Deborah to take care of her.The night was dark and quiet when he went into the study. He was smoking on the couch and wisps of light green smoke lingered in the air. It was all around him, giving him a hazy, surreal look.It seemed, incidentally, that there were a lot of painful memories for Zoe here in the study. He had done some unspeakable, humiliating things to her when he forced himself on her. Then, there was the time when he slapped her because of the vinyl. She grew cold to him after that.If there was a specific time he would point at and say, “This is where it started going downhill,” it would be that slap.He tried to salvage th

That was only to be expected. After all, they had been married for several years. She had been on the receiving end of his heartlessness for far too many times. What made her agree with his terms? Well. She was doing it for her baby!Right now, she was in no condition to raise any child. Yanni was growing slowly, but steadily. That meant she was capable of fear as well. Given her sorry state, she was afraid she’d subject her baby to fear and emotional trauma at such a young age.She loved her baby daughter so much that she was thinking about her well-being when she was just this young.Zoe was fully aware that she was betting on her own life if she went to such a place. She was vulnerable there and Lisa might not let her off that easily. With that said, she was still willing to take the risk for the sake of her baby.She responded in a trembling voice, “Okay.” She didn’t look at him, though. She didn’t want to see his heartless expression, much less think about the fact that sh
