Both of them were stunned by what he said, especially Mason.How in the world did he forget that Zoe was with David now? He was merely her ex-husband. It was actually immoral of them to be having an affair like this. How did he fancy that he could keep her all to himself?How absurd!The passion of the moment died down a little and Zoe wanted to get off of him. Coming back to his senses, he kept his grip on her slender waist and said softly, “Just let me hold you for a little while.”She didn’t reject him. It was quiet in here and no one would dare to barge in on them. So, she relaxed and leaned on the side of his neck, feeling the warmth seeping from his skin.Her voice was very soft when she murmured, “We have to part ways, Mason. It’s just a matter of time! We still have to say our farewells sooner or later… That’s all.”At that moment, he knew that all he had to do was ask and she would’ve left David and come back to his side.But, what about the future?Could he guarante

They might’ve been married in the past, but they parted ways for many years. That was why the affair felt refreshing for them.The night rolled on and Deborah put the kids to sleep. Zoe took a shower in the guest room and applied her skincare. She put on silk pajamas and went knocking on Mason’s room. She didn’t even think about it when she opened his door without waiting for an answer.Mason wasn’t the only one in his bedroom. There were two more male nurses in the room, who were getting him ready for a bath. Three of the buttons on his shirt were unfastened, revealing his fair and firm skin. He was sitting in his wheelchair, chatting with the male nurses. It looked like he had gotten used to being taken care of.However, his eyes grew darker when their eyes met. Based on that alone, she was certain that he hadn’t gotten used to something like this. It seemed that the life that followed his disability was something he could never be comfortable with. She knew it because she k

Zoe knew she could do it, but she was worried she might hurt his pride if she took care of him.The male nurses were very professional with the bath. Half an hour later, Mason was all cleaned up and leaning on the headboard. They also straightened up the bathroom before they left. Needless to say, she couldn’t exactly go into the bedroom while they were still in there. So, she waited until they left before she went on.The crystal chandelier was turned off. All he had for light was the night light. He saw her coming in and waved her over, signaling for her to lie down next to him.His voice was soft and tender as if what happened earlier didn’t affect him. So, she walked over and slept next to him. Leaning on his chest, she took in the scent of shampoo from him while he held her shoulder and caressed it gently. This time, he wasn’t touching her out of lust.After a brief moment, he said in a husky voice, “You saw it! I need help just doing something simple, like taking a bath.

Mason’s nose was very defined and charming!She traced it with her lean fingers as her lips curled into a smile. Then, she looked around the room longingly before slipping out of the blankets and walking toward the fitting room. She picked out an outfit for him and ironed them, just like in old times. Little did she know Mason prepared a surprise for her in there. There was a delicate jewelry box with a thin diamond necklace in it. The diamond wasn’t exactly big. It was probably only worth tens of thousands of dollars, but it looked very exquisite and perfect for everyday wear.She was pleasantly surprised. Taking out the thin necklace, she put it on for herself and admired it in the mirror for a long time. The sweetness in her smile was impossible to miss. They had been married for so long, but this was the first time she felt this way!Instead of taking it off, she left it on her neck while she picked out an outfit for Mason and ironed them until they were neat and crisp.

Zoe had no idea that Mason’s mind went to a dark place. She took care of their kids as if everything was normal. Her delicate face was filled with affection as the morning light shone on her. Any man who set sight on her would want to have her as their wife for the rest of their life. Yanni was warm and loving. She ate her breakfast enthusiastically. Jamie, on the other hand, was much colder and aloof. He was close to two years old now. He could have breakfast without any help, but it didn’t seem like he was savoring his food. Instead, it looked more like he was mechanically completing a task.Picking up a glass of milk, Zoe drank half of it and said warmly, “You were like this too, Mason. You ate everything mechanically and never took a moment to savor its taste.”“I’m the same now.” Then, he lowered his voice. “I’d much rather savor something more delicious!”Yanni dug into her casserole and asked with a crisp voice, “What do you mean, Dad?”Zoe kicked him in the shin under

In fact, he knew that Zoe was pissed off, but he just didn’t want her to see how pathetic he looked when he got out of the car. He loved it when she took care of him, but he hated himself for being so reliant on her. Zoe stood on the balcony on the second floor, staring at him quietly. This was the first time he had acted uncomfortable around her ever since she had made her Brookesville comeback. In the past, he had always flirted with her to some extent, no matter how cutting his remarks may have sounded. However, it was different today. Mason was just sitting in the car. He might not have seemed different from before, but, deep down, she knew he had changed completely on the inside. He was a proud man, but he couldn’t move either of his legs nor his right arm. It must’ve eaten him up inside!Midnight came and Zoe had just taken a bath. She was sitting in front of the makeup table in the guest room, applying skincare, when someone grabbed her arm. Then, she saw Mason in the mir

Rosemary’s newly bought mansion was more than three thousand square feet. It was renovated in the French classic architecture style. Very classy, indeed.She was entertaining her guests with her new boyfriend, glasses in their hands. She looked very happy tonight. Zoe came over and she poked her head out to see behind her back. “Why isn’t Mason here?”Giving her friend the presents she prepared, Zoe smiled lightly and said, “He’s working at home”Rosemary had always had a way with words. She said in a sophisticated tone, “That’s because you did a good job with him! Mason was never big on social situations and he had virtually no scandals in the high society circle. This isn’t something you see every day.”At the next moment, she spoke in a hushed voice. “Gabriela has gotten married! Do you think that means Mason has finally cut ties with her now?”Rubbing Rosemary’s hands gently, Zoe said, “It’s all in the past. Let’s not dwell on it.”Rosemary complimented her for that. Both o

The doorman, who was standing by the door, asked him respectfully, “Shall I announce your arrival, Mr. Mason?”The party…What the doorman said triggered him. He mocked himself and said, “That won’t be necessary!”At the next moment, he wheeled himself out of there frantically. He went fast at it. Never had he hated himself so much. This was the first time he felt as if he was a clown, a loser… How ridiculous it was that he thought he’d surprise her at the party. He thought he’d finally show her that she gave him enough courage to come to the party like any ordinary person would.The whole thing was absurd!How dare he think he was the same as anybody else?What part of him was normal now, for crying out loud?He didn’t even dare to go to the party because he was so worried about how the others would look at him. He was also worried that the other guests would ask her that question.What was she doing with a man like that?Zoe ran out and caught a car driving off in the

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

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
