I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 429
Zoe turned and looked at Scarlett once her kids left. Scarlett had just started working in Lockwood Hospital a few years back. Moreover, she only ever worked in the rehabilitation department. So, it stood to reason that she had never seen Zoe before. This was the first time she had seen her. The summer was ending and Zoe wore a long shift dress. It highlighted her slender figure and gave rise to a sophisticated and graceful air about her. It was women’s nature to draw comparisons. Scarlett scanned Zoe and found herself feeling unsettled. Zoe was way too slender and beautiful for someone who had two kids. This charm about her could only be cultivated by living a refined, elegant life.Scarlett felt worse about herself and didn’t exactly hide it. Reaching out, she looked at Zoe and said purposefully, “Greetings, Ms. Zoe. I’m Mr. Mason’s private doctor. You can call me Scarlett. I stay in the manor now.”She was trying to assert dominance. Taking her hands, Zoe flashed her a fai

Layla and the other servants were particularly excited today. They poured their heart and soul into preparing lunch. Considering Yanni’s growth, they made creamy mushroom chicken with high-end ingredients and grilled it over the fire. The moment they served it on the dining table, the aroma was so captivating that it filled the entire dining hall. Scarlett also joined them for lunch. She took the seat Zoe usually sat in, probably because she needed to take care of Mason. However, Zoe let it slide. After all, she and Mason were divorced!Scarlett was very attentive and thoughtful. She scooped the food and put it on his plate. It seemed as if they got along fine and had their own routines already set. Clearly, the doctor had stayed in the manor for quite some time.That irked Zoe somewhat.The worst thing Scarlett did was when Yanni wanted to eat the thigh. The little girl was about to stab it with a fork, but she was faster and took the juicy thigh away before putting it on Mason

Mason stayed with his kids for half an hour before he called Deborah up to the room. Knocking on the door, she came in and saw that Yanni was sleeping with Jamie. Tip-toeing across the room, she asked softly, “Are they sleeping?”He stared at them with nothing but love and tenderness in his eyes. Moments later, he said lightly, “Look after them.”Deborah responded immediately, “Go ahead and do what you need to do, Mr. Mason. Leave the kids to me.”Mason’s face turned red. Wheeling himself, he exited the bedroom, but Zoe was nowhere to be seen. He searched for her for a good while before finding her in the guest room.She was leaning on the window, talking on the phone.It was afternoon and the sunlight shone into the room through the window, casting its brilliant rays on Zoe. Her skin was glowing and she looked at ease while she talked.It reminded Mason that she was as relaxed and happy as she was when she first parted ways with him years ago.Back then, she had talked to Lia

Mason sat in his wheelchair and watched as they left. All of a sudden, his mind traveled back to the moment in time when Zoe used to ask for one hundred thousand dollars from him timidly. Back then, he used to think she couldn’t stand on her own feet and had to rely on him for everything. Now, however, she was like a rose, beautiful but sharp. The evening light cast an orange, fiery glow across the entire sky, as if heaven itself was on fire. The silver Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled out of the manor slowly. Mason started feeling hollow inside. In the end, she still left him alone.The brief meet-up today did nothing but make him more eager to see them again.…Twenty minutes later, Zoe pulled into a manor. Back when she planned to move back to Brookesville, she decided to buy a manor for herself and her family, which had grown bigger. There was also Deborah to consider. She felt that it would be better if they lived in a much more spacious place.More to the point, the manor was

Both of them texted each other for a good while…She dozed off in the middle of composing a reply text. Hours passed before she she woke up. There were about a dozen unread texts, all of them from Mason.She read each and every text in the dead of night, but she didn’t reply to him.At the next moment, she rose and went to look at both of her kids.She may not have been staying with Mason in the same manor and their relationship was on a precarious balance, at best. However, it was a big step forward for them to be able to live in the same city. They were well on their way to fixing all of the painful history they shared in the past.At some point, they started keeping in touch on a frequent basis. Carrying themselves like the best ex-couple there ever was, they worked together to raise their kids and discussed every challenge they faced while their kids grew up…Yanni was six years old and was studying in kindergarten. Zoe said, “You have all sorts of connections in Brookesv

Scarlett was disheartened when she saw how much Mason wanted it to happen. She had stayed at the manor for a long time, spending every single day with him. However, he had never shown any intention of remarrying Zoe. In fact, he hadn’t even visited his kids in Silvercrest.Now, it seemed, Zoe’s return had changed everything!He would stare off into space or dwell in fear of losing her all the time. Zoe had singlehandedly turned him into the mess he was now. Scarlett had sharp instincts too. She could tell that Zoe still had feelings for Mason. All she had to do was stare into her eyes. Why?! Why did it have to be like this?!They had been divorced for years. Why did Zoe have to return and shake his conviction?For that, she seriously disliked Zoe. With that said, she had to give in to her for the time being. “That’s right. Ms. Zoe’s going to the hospital as well.”She had no interest in seeing the joy in his face, so she closed the door swiftly. He was still staring out

Cecil checked outside the room and closed the door. Instead of walking over, he merely stood at the door and asked gently, “Are you guys still fighting? It’s been such a long time!”Then, he chuckled. He used to love Zoe a lot, but he had given up on her. He stopped after he found out he was Mason’s uncle. He knew he didn’t stand any chance the moment Mason put himself on the operating table. These two were meant for each other for the rest of their lives. With that said, that didn’t stop him from treating Zoe nicely.He could tell that she was suffering on the inside. So, he sat on a chair across from her and asked solemnly, “Do you need a listening ear?”Shaking her head, she smiled faintly, “I’m not a young brat anymore. I can handle my emotions. Don’t worry about me, Cecil. I’m fine. I mean it. It’s wonderful that we can live in the same city now.”Cecil smiled along with her. They proceeded to talk more about the laboratory before she left. She had just gotten into the

Her words were filled with irony. Liam was usually a calm man, but even he was stung by what she said. He wasn’t supposed to say it, but the words came out before he could stop them. “You know I love you, Zoe!”Time itself seemingly froze and an awkward silence hung over the air. For a few seconds there, he regretted blurting it out. However, he was both a lawyer and a practical man. Now that the cat was out of the bag, he figured he should stand by it.Staring at Zoe, he asked, “Are you still waiting for Mason? Why won’t you give me a chance?”Her voice was icy cold when she replied, “I’ll never fall in love with you! I’ll always remember how you plotted our family’s downfall! Here you are, asking me to be with you. Have you got a screw loose, Liam?”…Reaching out, Liam clutched her hand.She was startled and tried to shake him off, but he forcibly pulled her close. She got so close that their bodies were almost pressed against each other. The way he stared at her made her

At that moment, Gwen was completely flustered. She didn’t understand what Zion meant, nor did she understand why he was deliberately getting close to her. She wanted to ask, but before she could, Zion had already led her out of the car. The restaurant arranged by the school leadership was nearby, just off campus. Gwen had been there with Zion before, but not in a private room. Returning to an old haunt brought a sense of nostalgia. Zion walked side by side with Gwen. He was six-foot tall, and she was about five-foot-five. They made for a strikingly good-looking pair. Considering their history, the school leaders naturally couldn’t resist teasing them a bit. Gwen felt slightly uncomfortable and replied, "We were young and foolish." Over the years, Zion had grown seasoned in the business world, exuding an effortless charm. He responded with a light smile, "I wonder if we can pick up where we left off—still holding a grudge?" As soon as those words were said, the schoo

After running away in a flurry that night, Gwen retreated into her home, avoiding the world outside for several days. Her father, Noah, meanwhile, busied himself with his new hobby of keeping turtles—purchased on a whim after his wife, Gwynn, teased him for being too old. In an attempt to prove his youth, Noah even released the turtles back into the wild one evening, making a point of marking one with the name "Zion" on its shell in a bold act of petty revenge. Gwynn, ever the pragmatist, found the gesture immature and pointless, but it brought him a fleeting sense of satisfaction. Gwen, however, was unaware of the antics her father had indulged in. All she knew was that her father had been unusually concerned during her self-imposed seclusion, urging her to get out and take a break. Noah's insistence that she shouldn’t remain cooped up at home was an attempt to draw her back into the world, to reconnect with life. But she couldn’t shake the weight of everything that had transp

In the lounge, Gwen curled up in Tegan’s embrace, crying silently. Tegan gently stroked her smooth black hair, sighing softly. “If you really like him, I’ll help you talk to him.”Gwen sobbed quietly, “Dad will say you’re being rebellious.”Tegan paused for a moment, then replied, “Your brother will help me, won’t he?”Gwen clung to Tegan, continuing to cry softly. She remembered that today was Yeager’s full moon celebration and decided to cry for just a little while. After all, who hasn’t shed tears in their youth?At that moment, there was a knock at the door. From the sound of it, the person outside had a very refined aura. Tegan immediately guessed who it was; it certainly wasn’t her husband. She gently rubbed Gwen’s head. “I’ll go answer it.”When Tegan opened the door, as expected, it was Zion standing outside. The two locked eyes, and after a moment of silence, Tegan calmly spoke, “You two talk.” Zion nodded.In the quiet lounge, the soft sound of Gwen’s crying fill

The following August. It was the party for Ocelotte and Molly's child. Molly had given birth to a boy, named Yeager Sanders, a name chosen by her eldest brother-in-law, Lorian. She was very fond of the name. As for Lorian and Tegan's youngest son, he was named Fergus Sanders. Yeager and Fergus were the next generation of boys in the Sanders family. However, the first child was still Lola, the one and only little princess. She loved following Gwen around. The little girl was now three and a half years old and about to start kindergarten. On the day of Yeager's party, Gwen was still taking Lola around, but she unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance. It had truly been a long time. Since the year Zion had left for another country, although they had occasionally bumped into each other, they hadn’t had the chance for a proper meeting. How many years had passed? Gwen didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to calculate. She vaguely felt it had been four

After Yanni finished speaking, the Sanders family stood frozen in shock. It was Gwynn who recovered first, quickly asking Yanni, “How is Molly doing?” Yanni smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, Aunt Gwynn. Molly is fine, just a bit overwhelmed. I think the baby came as a surprise. Ocelotte is with her right now.” Before Gwynn could respond, Noah muttered under his breath, “A surprise is great! A surprise is wonderful.” Although the young couple’s relationship was excellent, what parent wouldn’t hope for grandchildren? And with Ocelotte and Molly’s stunning looks, the baby was bound to be exceptional. The mere thought of it had Noah brimming with excitement. He silently speculated that it was definitely going to be an adorable little girl. Definitely just like Molly.After a while, Ocelotte emerged, carrying Molly in his arms. She had regained her strength after sipping some sweetened water but was advised to rest for a few days at home. Moreover, during the first trimeste

Over half a year later, in the golden autumn of October. The film "Scarlet Dreams, Jade Skies", starring Molly, achieved a blockbuster box office success and earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the prestigious Golden Bear Awards. On the night of the ceremony, the entire Sanders family showed up to cheer Molly on. Tegan, worried she might feel pressured, kept comforting her, saying, “It’s okay if you don’t win this time. There’s always next time.” Molly was deeply moved. Tegan had just finished her postpartum recovery and yet still came to support her. Looking at Ocelotte, Molly whispered, “I’ve already won the biggest award of my life, Tegan.” Usually composed, Tegan was amused by her and replied gently, “You’ve been much more lively since hanging out with Ocelotte! Your big brother thinks it’s great. He always praises Ocelotte for being so caring.” Molly felt a little shy and leaned in closer to chat softly with Tegan. Gwen handed over a piece of candy and qu

Molly spent the most joyful holidays of her life.In early spring, she married Ocelotte. Her wedding veil was an impressive three meters long, as the elders said that the longer the veil, the longer the marriage. So, Ocelotte had a three-meter-long veil designed for her.He said he wanted to be with her for three lifetimes and more.As the bells of the church rang, Molly, holding onto Lorian’s arm, slowly walked toward Ocelotte. From that moment on, they were one, bound together not only as a couple but as a family. His loved ones were now hers, and they would share both joy and hardship.The few meters between them felt like the culmination of the four years they had spent together.At the altar, Lorian handed Molly to his younger brother and gave his shoulder a gentle pat. "Take good care of her," he said.Ocelotte took a step forward, gazing at Molly through the delicate veil. Today, she looked like a pure white jasmine flower.Ocelotte gently lifted the veil, wanting her t

On the steps in front of the villa, Ocelotte and Molly stood ready to greet their guest. Brody stepped out of the car, looking particularly sharp and dashing tonight. The sight made Ocelotte frown instantly. Dressed as flamboyantly as a peacock, Brody had clearly put in some effort. Later, Ocelotte decided, he’d ask Molly outright who looked better. Was it him or Brody? Brody walked up the steps, his silhouette framed by the twilight. Molly stepped forward and gave him a brief hug. After everything they’d been through, they were like family now. Ocelotte, watching from the side: *Is all that closeness really necessary?* When Molly and Brody finally separated, Ocelotte decided he wanted a hug too. Brody froze, startled by the unexpected request, but before he could react, he was nearly bowled over by Ocelotte's overly enthusiastic embrace. Ocelotte pulled him into a firm hug, slapping him hard on the back. “Now that you’re leaving, I’ll really miss you, you know.”

Before the Spring Festival, Ocelotte moved out of the family estate and started living with Molly. Noah fully approved, saying, "Hurry up and move out. Don’t disturb your mom and me enjoying our world of two." Ocelotte swiftly packed his large luggage, pulled Gwen over, and shoved her toward Noah. "Dad, you must regret having a third child. Too late to send her back to Mom’s belly now." Noah frowned. "Can’t you pack your sister up and take her with you?" Ocelotte hoisted his luggage. "Dad. Molly and I also want our world of two. You and Mom just need to endure it a bit longer. Once Gwen gets married, you’ll truly have your world of two, and none of us kids will need you and Mom to take care of us." Noah cursed playfully, watching his youngest son nimbly hop into a black Range Rover and head toward his fiancée. For a moment, he felt a little sentimental. Noah still remembered the year Ocelotte was born. Times were tough, and he was locked in a life-and-death struggle wi
