I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 320
Mason took off his coat and put it on Zoe when they were on their way home. He could touch every single bone in her ribs when he was putting it on for her. She was so weak that she didn’t fight back. All she did was lean back on the passenger seat. The black coat had covered half her face, but he could see enough to tell that her cheeks were sunken in a sickly manner. The sight was enough to send a chill down his spine.Throughout the entire journey, she kept quiet and stared out the car window. She watched as the crescent moon set and the sun rose above the horizon. She said ever so softly, “Happy New Year, Mason!”He wasn’t delighted by her wishes. He knew this was farewell. This was the last New Year they’d spend together. He was reluctant to let her go and set her free. He wanted her by his side again. The car stopped at the intersection. Silence hung in the car. All he could hear was Zoe’s frail breathing. He said in a husky voice, “I’m sorry, Zoe.” He tried to hold her

At the same time, Gabriela fell to the ground. Lowering her head, she looked at the toy she had so carefully chosen for Yanni and smiled miserably.The fact was that Mason merely took advantage of the latest opportunity he stumbled onto. He never intended to give up on Zoe. Now, he had an excuse to convince Zoe to return to his side so he could make things right, because he still loved her!If he loved Zoe, then what was the point of waiting for him all these years?After all this time, she was still no match for Zoe, even if the latter was tortured to the point of losing her sanity. It would’ve been funny if it wasn’t so cruel. In what way was Zoe better than her?…Mason carried Zoe into the manor. Layla rose early today and almost jumped out of her skin when she saw her. Then, she burst into tears and said, “Why are you so thin, Ms. Zoe? Don’t they feed you anything over there?!”Zoe felt so weak, she couldn’t muster up the strength to respond to her. All she could do was offe

At that moment, Layla came in with Zoe’s meal. She set down the plate gingerly, tears in her eyes. “Eat it while it’s hot, Ms. Zoe. Just let me know if you want something else.”Zoe smiled weakly and thanked her. It wasn’t a servant’s place to voice out her opinion on her master’s private life. So, Layla left the bedroom quietly and hastily. Zoe noticed and appreciated her thoughtfulness. Leaning back on the couch, she finished the omelet and the herbal soup with trembling hands. She felt much better after having some nourishment, but she was still weak from her horrible experiences at the rehabilitation center.She proceeded to lean on the crib and checked on Yanni before shuffling to the fitting room to get some clothes for herself. Mason held her arm tenderly when she came out. “You’re still weak. Let me help you shower.”However, she turned him down. Squinting, he said, “I was just looking out for you. Can’t you accept that?”Smiling weakly, she said, “You’re no longer

Tears started filling up Mason’s eyes. Hugging Zoe from behind, he buried his face in her neck and said with a trembling voice, “Give me one more chance, Zoe! I won’t let you down again, I swear!”Zoe stopped in her tracks. She didn’t utter a single word.Turning her around, he looked at her with bloodshot eyes. He went in for a kiss hurriedly, eager to show himself that she still belonged to him and that there was still hope for them. However, she reached out and stopped him.The track marks all over her slender arms painted a picture of her heart which was also punctured with holes from all the hurt that he put her through. There was no forgiving that.His eyes grew darker. Holding her slender arms, he put them in his hands. He stopped trying to convince her and began to beg instead.“Can you please iron the shirts you bought me last time, Zoe? I loved them so much.”At that moment, she heard a honk from the yard. Her car was probably ready. She said softly, “I have to go!”

Zoe moved into a new apartment. It was more than two thousand square feet, spacious enough for her, Mia, Yanni, and the two nannies. On top of that, it was located in the heart of the city. She still had yet to recover from the postpartum depression. So, Deborah and the other nanny, Edith, would take care of the baby in the night. If she was feeling well, she’d play with Yanni in the day. Yanni was five months old now. She was innocent and adorable. Mia was worried about Zoe's health. In response, she said lightly, “I’ll go for therapy! Don’t worry, Mia. If I can survive in that wretched rehabilitation center, then I can survive anywhere!”Mia was furious when she brought it up. “I think Mason’s mother deserved a much harsher punishment! Although, I must say it’s quite fitting to send her there and let her have a taste of her own medicine. Better yet, give her several shots of sedatives every single day. See how she likes it!”Rubbing Mia’s hands tenderly, she said, “It’s all

Zoe had no interest in hearing her excuses. Taking two thousand dollars out of her wallet, she flung them at Eira’s feet. She knew the young lady needed money and that, ironically, honor was the most important thing for her. Sneering, she said, “How’s that for compassion? Pick it up if you want them.”Eira’s face turned paler.She had no other choice. So, she crouched and picked up the notes one by one. She needed it to make it through winter. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even have enough to pay the rent.She stood up when she was done picking up the money. That was when she saw Mason.Dressed in a classic black and white suit, he wore a checkered coat over it, giving him a mature, stunning look. Leaning on the car, his eyes grew darker. Eira was both mortified and delighted. Zoe had finally shown her true colors and she was such a heartless lady. Surely, Mason would find the real Zoe unworthy of his love and turn to soothe her instead, the embarrassed underdog. What she didn’t co

Mason couldn’t help but want to know. Then, he added in his husky voice, “You were never this happy when we were together!”The evening light cast an orange glow on the apartment, illuminating it brightly and warmly. Zoe was standing in her cozy apartment, looking all warm and pleasant. Staring at Mason, she said softly, “I wasn’t happy because we were never equals! From the day we got married, we were talking on a different level. All I did every day was deal with a cold, distant husband. “I was never sure if I’d say something wrong that’d upset you. I have no idea what I did wrong because you’d just shut me out for the entire week at times. How was I supposed to be happy, trapped in such a shitty marriage?”Staring at her intensely, he said, “What about if I start paying you more attention and respecting you?”She smiled lightly and responded, “What’s the point?”Then, she took Yanni away from his arms. She soothed her baby when she said to him, “I believe you’ve had your fil

Mason kissed her as soon as she uttered it.He had been suppressing himself all this time. Hearing Liam on the phone with Zoe riled him up too. So, he kissed her recklessly and sucked every drop of sweet nectar from her.Their bodies were rubbing against each other and their tongues entangled.However, they could still sense each other’s pain amidst this passionate kiss. After a long time, he let go of her lips at last. The moment he did it, Zoe slapped him fiercely. Instead of getting upset, he buried his face in her neck and panted lightly. He could still taste her lips in his mouth.She tried to push him away, but she couldn’t because he was holding her so tightly. His heart was pounding like crazy because of what he was about to say to her. He murmured in her ear, “I love you, Zoe.”There. He said it. He loved her. She was the only lady he had ever loved since the very beginning. This was possibly the worst timing to be confessing, but he couldn’t hold himself back anymore.

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
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1459
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
