I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 31
When Zoe went upstairs, Mia was not home. After giving her a call, Zoe found out that Mia did not call Mason. Zoe hung up the phone, speculating that the villa's servant had lied to help her escape. However, she did not dwell on it. It was a rare occasion that she didn't have work tonight, so she took a shower and went to bed early. In her dreams, she recalled her newlywed life with Mason. Yet, in the dream, Mason remained as indifferent as ever, his words filled with impatience. Her phone rang, waking her up. She saw a message from Mason with only a few words. "Don't forget to visit Grandma tomorrow. I'll wait for you at the Imperial Hotel after work." How could Zoe forget? Thinking of Lilith's extravagant fireworks, Zoe immediately accepted the transfer that Mason had included as a fee for her compliance. She donated it to the local animal shelter.At 1:00 AM, Mason's car stopped by the roadside. Leaning back, he scrolled his phone. He had sent Zoe a 3,000-dollar trans

Zoe was quite surprised. Due to the previous issues with Gabriela, Gregory had not treated her very kindly. Just the night before, he had caused trouble for her. Now, he was offering to give her a ride.Zoe instinctively felt that he had ulterior motives. She stepped back, adopting a slightly distant attitude. "Gregory, you promised not to make things difficult for me."Gregory stared at her momentarily before uttering, "I know." With that, he drove away, leaving behind a trail of smoke.…Zoe thought that the matter with Gregory had come to an end. However, that night, she met him again on the 56th floor of the Imperial Hotel. He was sitting with Leslie and the others, but this time, no starlets or models were by his side.When Zoe went on stage, Gregory glanced up. This seemingly casual gesture did not escape Leslie's notice. He casually played a pair of kings, saying, "Gregory, you don't usually come to my place. What's going on today? What brought you here?"Gregory r

"You've got issues. Don't forget, she's someone's wife."…Zoe was alone in the dressing room as she took off the little black dress, revealing her fair body adorned in black lingerie, glowing softly under the dim yellow lights.With a creak, the door swung open. Zoe was startled, immediately covering her chest with a shirt and turning to see who it was. To her surprise, it was Mason.He stared at her, leisurely closing the dressing room door behind him.Zoe bit her lip. "Mason, this is the women's dressing room!"Mason seemed to ignore her words. He walked toward her, removing the shirt from her hands before she could react. Then, with one hand, he pressed her against the dressing room counter, examining her under the lights.This situation made Zoe uncomfortable. Goosebumps covered her body as she trembled slightly. She dared not speak, afraid of attracting others into the room.However, Mason did not do anything else. He just quietly observed her as if they had never been

Lockwood Manor was brightly lit, with servants bustling around, serving various dishes on a large dining table.Barbara personally hovered over everyone, worried that her grandson would not be in good spirits tonight. She even had the kitchen make stew and health tonics.Barbara presented it attentively to Zoe.Barbara chuckled. "I've looked at the charts. I'm sure you'll get pregnant tonight." Even after three years of marriage, Zoe blushed at such intimate talk, especially with several servants standing in the hall.Mason cast a glance at her. Unabashed, he sweet-talked Barbara, "I'll have to put in some effort later to make sure we have a grandchild for you soon, Grandma."Barbara could not stop smiling, as if the chubby great-grandchild were already waving at her. She then served her grandson a bowl of soup, saying, "This soup has been simmering for hours. Drink it while it's hot. It'll boost your stamina."Mason's expression remained unchanged.Zoe thought he was an exp

His tone was mocking. "Zoe, you've become quite assertive now."After saying that, he let go of her and went to take a cold shower. Ten minutes later, Mason emerged from the bathroom. He looked at Zoe, who had spread a thin blanket on the sofa, clearly intending to sleep there for the night.Annoyance welled up inside him. The suppressed anger surged up again. Without thinking, he lifted Zoe and threw her onto the soft bed, pressing down on her.Zoe buried her face in the pillow. Mason had no intention of touching her, as he was still upset. However, just when he was about to let her go, Zoe's phone rang with a text notification.Mason raised an eyebrow. "Who's messaging you at this time?"Still sore from being held down, Zoe replied with a hint of irritation, "It's none of your business."Mason sneered.He pressed down on her delicate shoulders and reached for her phone on the bedside table. Using her fingerprint, he unlocked it. Zoe felt embarrassed. "Mason, you have n

Zoe trembled in his arms, sinking into the unpleasant memories of the past three years. She began to disassociate from her body. Just as Mason was about to claim her, his phone kept ringing. Annoyed, he grabbed the phone and glanced at it. It was Ava calling. After some consideration, Mason answered the call in an unpleasant tone. "What's so important that you're calling so late?"On the other end, Ava sounded anxious. She said, "Mr. Mason, Lilith is here in Brookesville."Mason frowned slightly. After glancing at Zoe, he got up and walked outside to take the call. Even though Zoe heard only a fragment of Ava's words, she understood.Lilith was back in Brookesville.Mason had finally allowed his lover to step into their home. This was a great humiliation for Zoe, who was only Mrs. Lockwood by name.After a few minutes, Mason returned with a slightly tense expression. Returning to Brookesville with much ceremony, Lilith had been surrounded by reporters at the airport. Unf

Lilith's hands clenched tight. However, on the surface, she still wore a seemingly obedient look. "I understand, Mr. Mason."Mason got up and left. Lilith's parents appeared outside the door, wanting to initiate conversation when they saw Mason. However, Mason had already entered the elevator before their mouths could open. Ava gave them a stern look and followed him in.Only Mason and Ava were in the elevator, and the red numbers on the screen continued to descend. Suddenly, Mason asked, "Why was Lilith sent to Samphia Hospital? I remember Zoe's father is being treated in this hospital."Ava's heart skipped a beat. Immediately, she explained, "Mr. Mason, this really wasn't my idea. When I arrived at the airport, the ambulance had already taken Lilith to this hospital. Mr. Mason, will you come to visit Lilith after her surgery tomorrow?"As the elevator doors opened, Mason walked out, saying, "I'm not her doctor."Ava followed him. Mason got into his car, a black Bentley,

In the parking lot of the Lockwood Group, Mason turned off the engine. Sitting in the car, he pondered for a moment and decided to call Zoe.Zoe refused to answer.Mason did not persist in making more calls. He leaned back on the leather seat and quietly lit a cigarette, contemplating whether Zoe was upset because of his rough treatment last night or because he left abruptly in the middle of the night. Zoe must have heard Ava’s words on the phone.With one hand gripping his phone, he wondered if he should comfort her or perhaps try to placate her. However, this thought lingered briefly before he brushed it off. Such lovey-dovey actions were not suitable for him and Zoe. He never loved Zoe in the past, not now, and not in the future.As he put away his phone, Ava approached and opened the car door for him. Having not slept all night, Ava was still full of energy. She had always been a hard worker, a trait that Mason admired, so he kept her around even after she crossed some boun

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.

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.

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

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
