As luck would have it, Zoe sensed his stare and looked at him. She wasn’t exactly perturbed, but she did stand a little straighter when she saw him. The man in front of her looked at Mason too. Mason’s eyes grew darker. He ordered Ava, “Take me to her!”Ava wheeled him and stopped when they were one step away from Zoe. Naturally, she greeted her with enthusiasm. “It’s been a long time, Zoe!”Zoe rested her gaze on Mason and smiled faintly, “Indeed!”The man asked her, “Who’s this fine man, Ms. Zoe?”She had nothing to hide. “This is Mason! He’s the director of Lockwood Corporation and my ex-husband. This lady here is Ava. She’s Mason’s assistant, and a very capable one at that.”The way she introduced them was very formal.The man in front of her was Saül. He had just come back from overseas and was interested in making a huge investment. She was trying to get him to invest in The One Gourmet. Little did she know she’d run into Mason here.Saül was a polite man. Bowing sli

Naturally, Zoe rejected him.Staring at the bouquet of roses in her hand, Mason asked dryly, “Is that from Saül?”As a matter of fact, she bought it for herself, but she wasn’t about to admit it to him. So, she said nonchalantly, “It’s none of your business now, Mr. Mason.”His eyes grew darker at the cold way she addressed him. He was still looking at Zoe, but he directed his orders to Luke, who was sitting in the driver’s seat. “Please invite Ms. Zoe into our car.”The poor, old chauffeur was caught in the crossfire!The way they addressed each other was cold and distant. It felt as if they could explode at any given moment. Luke didn’t enjoy being stuck in the middle of them, but he still got out of the car and talked to Zoe. “The snowfall’s getting worse, Ms. Zoe! Please get into the car. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain myself to Mr. Mason.” He looked at her warmly. He knew Zoe would pay him some respect.So, Zoe got into the car.It was spacious and dark in there. B

Zoe took it, thanked him gently, and left.Mason sat in the limousine and watched as she left. She was holding the bouquet of roses close to her chest and walking on the snow when he asked Luke softly, “Am I a bother to her?”The old chauffeur responded immediately, “Impossible, Mr. Mason! Why, you’ve never spoken in this manner.” Chuckling dryly, Mason said, “Well. I didn’t use to be a gimp!”Sitting upright, he wore a gloomy expression on his dashing face. “Take me home!”…The snow kept falling since Christmas Eve and didn’t stop until it was New Year.New Year was supposed to be celebrated.However, Mason had a high fever that wasn’t coming down on that day. Layla called Ava, who came over to check and decided it was serious. So, she called Cecil over.By the time Cecil arrived, Mason was already dizzy from the fever and slipping in and out of consciousness. He gave him an injection and called the private doctor over to ask about his condition. Worried that she might be

Mason had arranged for his father to work in Lockwood Corporation’s mailroom for the past couple of years. After all, it was important to keep himself busy even if he was settled for life. It was baffling that no one ever recognized that the middle-aged gentleman in the mailroom was the former director of the company. Of course, Westley never brought it up either. After all, he had a simple life. He visited Mason every month. However, it did nothing to deepen their bond. Cecil nodded at Westley when he walked over. Then, he called for Ava to leave the room with him. He knew they needed some space.Lisa pulled herself together the moment she saw Westley. Pointing at Mason, she yanked at her husband’s collar and cursed him. “Have you gotten a good look at your son? Look at how messed up he is. “If you hadn’t selfishly left all those years ago, this wouldn’t have happened! Why did you come back, Westley? What made you think it was okay to return?” Westley was a refined and c

The sound of an engine starting could be heard in Mason’s manor.Lisa was wearing an overcoat and sitting gracefully in the backseat, signs of tears still visible on her face. However, she appeared to be elegant. After all, her appearance mattered very much to her.She was going to Zoe’s place to beg her to check on Mason. Twenty minutes later, the black limousine stopped in front of the black ornate gate. Her chauffeur was about to honk, but she stopped him. She said softly, “I’m walking in!”Her chauffeur was stunned, but she had already opened the car door and stepped out of it.The security guard reported her arrival to Zoe and let her in shortly after. The moon was shining bright in the sky as her eight-inch high heels stepped on the snow. Her stocking got wet from the splash and the chill ate into her bones.It was so cold that she was shivering all over, but her face spoke of determination. She was going to take Zoe back to Mason’s manor.Stopping before her manor,
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 477
The moment Zoe laid eyes on Lisa, she was thrown back to the days when she was tortured at the rehabilitation center. Tugging at her overcoat, she said coldly, “Stop begging me! Let me make something clear. I’m going to check on him because he’s the father of my children, not because of you.”That still meant she was willing to go. Lisa couldn’t help but shed a tear, “Alright! I understand.” She had lowered herself to this extent, but it did nothing to move Zoe. Later, Zoe remained quiet in the car while Lisa kept biting her tongue every time she tried to talk. In the end, she sighed and said, “I know you hate me, Zoe.”Zoe turned her face to the side and looked at the snow out the window. Her voice was soft when she said, “I’ll never forget that hellhole. So, don’t expect me to forgive you.”Lisa covered her face in response. Perhaps she was getting old or perhaps she was shaken from the possibility of losing her son again. Either way, she started reminiscing. Zoe used to gre
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 478
Then, he started taking it slowly.Zoe couldn’t help but moan. Her body was giving in to the pleasure he was giving her, but her mind kept telling her she couldn’t let this keep up. It was wrong.They couldn’t have sex with each other again!He was doing it to her so roughly that her body was twisted in the most embarrassing position imaginable. On top of that, the door wasn’t shut tight. She couldn’t even imagine how humiliating it’d be if someone walked in on them now.Flat out of options, she slapped him across the face, trying to bring him to his senses.At the next moment, Mason snapped out of it. Staring at her somewhat dizzily, he didn’t seem to know what was going on exactly. With that said, his fingers were still inside her. By the time he realized it and withdrew his hand, both of them were extremely embarrassed. He wanted to do it with her so badly that his body was starting to ache.On the other hand, she was mortified by what happened. As he withdrew his hand,

Lisa was downhearted to hear it. “Are you leaving so soon? You could spend the night here and leave in the morning.”“It isn’t appropriate,” Zoe said calmly.Then, she put on the shoes. “I’m here because of my kids. I didn’t come here to reminisce about the past with Mason. It isn’t exactly appropriate for me to stay here longer than I should.”She might’ve sounded cold, but it was only because she had been hurt one too many times. Westley, on the other hand, was a reasonable man. Pondering on it, he said, “Just a couple of hours, Zoe. Please. I can’t let you go back by yourself! Let me send you home, at least!”“That won’t be necessary. I’ll ask Luke to send me back.”However, Weslet was persistent. Perhaps he didn’t want to be here alone and continue to bicker with Lisa.In the end, Zoe agreed to stay back for a while.By the time she got into the car, dawn was breaking over the sky. She could even hear the crowing of a rooster from afar, signifying the coming of a new day.

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
