I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 403
It was autumn and it was cold outside. Tugging at the coat, she wrapped it around her delicate face, the refined fabric felt so comfy to the touch. She could just smell David’s scent off of it.Then, she snapped out of the trance!Shaking her head, she denied David’s claim. “It’s nothing like that!”The next thing she knew, David held her shoulders. Her slender figure made her look especially fragile, like a delicate flower. They looked like a perfect match in this exquisite view.Sitting in the wheelchair, Mason stared at them quietly as they left. He turned his back to the pitch-black night. Now that he was no longer feeling the joy of reuniting with Zoe again, the night had lost its serene beauty. In its place, a layer of sorrow and hopelessness draped over it.David was embracing her. They looked so lovely together. She used to be his everything, but she belonged to another man now.…David kept Zoe company all the way to the parking lot, where a black limousine was waitin

Zoe ordered Jorge softly, “Stop the car!”Slamming on the brake, he pulled the car over by the street. Then, he turned his head around and asked puzzlingly, “What’s the matter, Ms. Zoe?”She responded in a nonchalant tone, “I’m going to take a stroll. Just go on home without me.”Taking a look at the manor behind the car, he knew that she was shaken by the sight of her childhood home. He said immediately, “You want to take a look at your old manor, don't you, Ms. Zoe? I’ll just wait for you right here.”Forcing a smile, she turned down his offer. “I’ll hail a cab once I'm done.”Jorge hesitated for a second before agreeing to it. Getting out of the car, he opened the car door for her and said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Zoe. I won’t say a single thing about this to Mr. David.”She remained quiet in response. Instead of explaining herself, she tugged at the scarf on her shoulder and made her way to the lonesome manor.It was a moonlit night. Zoe walked on the concrete floor with her high

Zoe tried, but failed to break free. Mason kept a tight grip on her. His left arm was deceptively powerful. Staring into her eyes, she realized there was unbridled lust in them.She had no idea if her words had hit him hard because he loosened his grip the next moment. After that, not only did he let her go, but he also apologized to her genuinely, “I’m sorry, Zoe. I acted out of line!”Her lips were trembling as she rose to her feet. At that moment, her phone rang. Throwing him a glance, she took the phone out of her pouch and was surprised when she saw the caller’s name. It was Leslie. He asked her out in a very polite manner, saying that he wanted to welcome her back to Brookesville. She wondered about it for a second and agreed to it. Mason looked at her as she hung up the phone. “Have you been hanging out with Leslie?”“Sometimes,” she said lightly. She was talking to him gracefully again. Looking at Mason, her mind traveled back to about a year ago when she was four mo

Luke stepped out of the car and left both of them alone in the car. Within the confined space, both of their scents did everything they could to penetrate each other’s bodies. The sensation was overwhelming.What was sad was that Zoe might’ve been sitting next to him now, but he no longer had a place in her heart.Lowering the car window halfway through, he cast his glance outside and said in a somewhat tender tone, “Where are the kids? Why didn’t you bring them along? Jamie has got to be two years old by now!”Zoe prepared herself for this moment, but her eyes still couldn’t help but turn red. It turned out that he knew about Jamie all along. All this time, he knew that she was pregnant with his second baby. He knew that baby Jamie had been born, but he still chose to leave them alone for so long. How ironic, she thought. She was the fool who waited for him to show up in Silvercrest for the past couple of years.However, she could never ask him about it. All she’d achieve by d

Zoe returned to her apartment. It was dark and cold at the door as she leaned on it, panting lightly. Her legs were still shaking to this moment.She knew that she’d run into Mason at some point if she returned to Brookesville, but she didn’t count on it being so soon. Everything he did to her at the Kirk Manor entrance deterred her. She had a sharp hunch that he was particularly dangerous right now. It’d be wise for her to stay away from Brookesville. However, Jamie’s hay fever was getting very serious and Silvercrest wasn’t a good place for him. Zoe was stunned for a long time before she raised her hand to turn on the lights. At the next moment, the lights shone on her delicate features, her cheeks fair and exquisite. She might’ve given birth to two kids, but time hadn’t laid its cruel fingers on her. She still looked as beautiful as ever. After a long time, she stood upright, walked over to her wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of champagne. She needed some liquor in her to
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 408
Moments later, Luke started the engine and drove the car away. Mason didn’t say anything and sat quietly the whole time. From time to time, he’d look at his right arm. If only this arm was left unscathed, it would’ve given him much-needed courage to beg Zoe to return to him, regardless of his busted feet.However, it was too late to fantasize about it now.…The next day, Zoe met up with Leslie.At first, she thought she’d just have a cup of coffee and leave after a brief talk. However, he insisted on having a lunch. “It’s been a long time since we last met, Zoe. Are you not going to let me treat you to a meal?”In the end, they had lunch in a high-end clubhouse. Leslie wasn’t exactly focused on his food. Instead, he kept staring at her the whole time. Needless to say, he wasn’t staring at her because she was beautiful. He was merely using her to get some information on Ella. Putting down her glass of wine, she said lightly, “I know what you want, Leslie. You want to know

Fiddling with his phone, Leslie snorted and said, “You say that, but I’ve never had sex with any other lady on our marital bed!”Nellie was about to defend herself when he took more than a dozen pictures out of his front pocket. Then, he flung them onto the bed one by one. He looked at her and sneered, “Get a good look at these saucy pictures! You slept with so many different guys! I wouldn't have known that you’ve got such a darling figure if it weren’t for these pictures. Look at all the fun you’ve had, Nellie.”Picking up the pictures, she checked each and every one of them. She was completely stunned. Then, she came to her senses and started begging him instinctively, “I did it because I’m too lonely! Please don’t show my dad these pictures, Leslie. He'll kill me.”She was still afraid that he’d deny her her wish. After all, she knew better than anyone how heartless he could be. He singlehandedly tortured her and reduced her to a husk of her former self in the past few yea

Closing his eyes gently, Leslie thought to himself. Ella was coming back to Brookesville at last.…Zoe was lingering in the clubhouse’s restroom. She had finally told Leslie about Farley.After a long time, she still didn’t feel any better. In fact, it wasn’t just about Ella. She, too, had been good friends with Farley. He was generous and giving, especially when it came to his friends. Back when she got the news about the plane crash, she was rooted to the spot for a long time, trying hard to come to grips with his demise.Saddened by the thought of him, her nose turned red and tears started building up in her eyes. At that moment, David gave her a call and told her that he was at the parking lot in front of the clubhouse entrance, waiting for her. He also asked her about her lunch with Leslie. Zoe responded softly, “It was brief. The way I see it, he still hasn’t moved on from Ella, but I gave it to him straight… I’ll tell you more about it when I see you.”Then, they s

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

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
