A while later, the nurse came over to remove the IV drip and said gently, “We just provided your body with some nutrients via the IV drip, Ms. Zoe. Please keep monitoring your health after you’re discharged and watch out for any signs of malnutrition.”Zoe was embarrassed.It was kind of shameful to suffer from malnutrition in this day and age. She responded softly, “Okay.”Then, the nurse left with a smile. Zoe got out of bed and packed her stuff up, preparing to leave. However, she did go over and thank the man for helping her. She hesitated for a while before asking him, “Do we know each other?”He didn’t respond to her immediately. After a brief moment, he said softly, “We met briefly. That’s all!”She let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt a little disappointed. She didn’t know where it came from, though. Before she left, she used the restroom. Staring in the mirror, she looked at her flat tummy. It was fair and taut, but it seemed a little different if she

Mason returned to his manor.Mia and the kids hadn’t had dinner. Yanni was working hard on her homework underneath the ceiling light while Jamie was playing with building blocks. Mia was keeping them company. They heard footsteps at the door before they saw him coming in. Instead of changing out of his shoes as he usually did, he picked Jamie up and weighed him in his mind before walking over to Yanni’s side. “Let’s see how your sister is doing with her homework.”Mia couldn’t resist saying, “She has been quite focused the whole time! She even practiced violin a little.”The little girl raised her eyes and smiled sheepishly.Patting her head, he said affectionately, “Come on, let’s have dinner first. You can finish the rest of it once you've eaten!”The servants were already serving dinner when Mason and the others were chatting. At first, Mia was worried Mason would be downhearted because it was Zoe’s birthday today. To her surprise, he was in a good mood. He’d put some food

Mason didn’t know what to feel right now. He felt proud as a father, but he felt guilty at the same time.Zoe was their mother, but he was asking them to pretend that they didn’t know her. Yanni, on the other hand, was thrilled. She missed her mother so much. For the past year, she didn’t even dare to think about the possibility that her mom would be found. That night, however, she slept with a smile on her face. Even her dreams were filled with sweet, happy moments.He sat by the side of her bed and watched as she slept for a long time. Going back to his bedroom, he took a shower and lay on the bed, but he just couldn’t fall asleep. At that moment, Ava sent him a text, which included pictures her private detective snapped of Zoe. She even found out where Zoe was staying. It was a common motel. It broke his heart to see the pictures.It was only sixty bucks per night at the motel. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that it wasn’t exactly a good place. Zoe had lived a wealth

Be that as it may, she needed to talk to him. So, she mustered up some courage and walked over to him. Zoe was standing in front of him when she discovered something. The elegant man was so tall that her head only reached his shoulders. She had to raise her head when she talked to him. She hesitated a little and said, “Did you put some notes in my wallet?”Mason didn’t deny it. “Yeah! Think of it as compensation.”She said softly, “You didn’t do anything wrong by me, mister! I can’t take money from you. Give me a minute. I’ll go back up to my room and bring it down to you.”He stared at her quietly in response. She might’ve lost her memories, but her character stayed the same. She disliked the idea of taking advantage of people, nor did she like to owe people a favor. Leaving things ambiguous had never been her style. He had no need for the money he gave her, but he couldn’t resist following her when he saw how uneasy she was. The hotel receptionist’s jaw dropped when she sa

Mason responded dryly, “So how much will it cost me? Twenty thousand dollars? Two hundred thousand dollars?”Zoe was so pissed off that she slapped him. At the next moment, she regretted doing it. What was she thinking? She couldn’t afford to offend someone like him. What if he tried to take revenge on her?The fact was, however, she didn’t slap him very hard. Also, Mason wouldn’t have minded either way. Reaching out, he touched his face and stared at her profoundly, “Alright. How about we trade two thousand dollars for a kiss? How does that sound?”Huh…?She didn’t understand what he meant.Taking a step back, he leaned on the wall and pulled out a cigarette from his front pocket. Lighting it up, he took a couple of drags, raised his eyes, and looked at her. Snorting lightly, he said, “What are you still doing here? Are you waiting for me to finish what I started?”She hated this guy so much. However, she didn’t bother to respond to him. Instead, she went to her room and loc

The door swung open and a human resource manager came in. She was about forty years old and dressed up in full formal attire. Sitting across the table, she flipped through Zoe’s resume half-heartedly. After a brief moment, she raised her head and asked, “Do you know any foreign languages?”Pursing her lips, Zoe said, “Yeah. I know a few!”The manager pulled out a document and handed it to her. She said dryly, “This document is written in English, French, and German. Read it out loud.”Scanning through it, Zoe didn’t find it hard at all. So, she went ahead and read it. That surprised the manager.Rising, she asked Zoe to stay put before she left. About five minutes later, she came back, looking more solemn than earlier. “Follow me!”Zoe felt a little unsettled. Slowing down a little, the manager explained to her. “There’s an opening for the director’s assistant and I recommended you to Ms. Ava. I’m taking you to her for an interview. Keep in mind that Mr. Mason prefers a more

Zoe was starting to think she misunderstood him and couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Mason. I think we…”He didn’t let her finish.Leaning back on his chair, he said dryly, “There’s no need to explain yourself! Get out if you don’t want the job. I need to rest now.”He sounded so stern that it felt like he was as cold-blooded as a snake.That was when it occurred to her that she was standing in his company. Now, he was in the role of the director who commanded over ten thousand employees in Lockwood Corporation. He was no longer the perverted guy who kissed and groped her. It wouldn’t do for her to stay here a second longer.Opening the door, she walked out of his office. The moment she was outside, it didn’t feel as imposing as it did a minute ago.What she didn’t know was that Mason had been staring at the door with tears in his eyes. The human resource manager came over begrudgingly and grumbled, “Why didn’t you cherish this wonderful opportunity? Do you know how hard it is to

The next day, Zoe went to Lockwood Corporation. This time, someone named Ava welcomed her. Obviously, she was immensely important in the company because everyone who passed her by would greet her respectfully.Ava was quite friendly too. She said, “Mr. Mason’s my college senior. I’ve been working with him for ten years now.”Zoe nodded in response. Then, Ava took her to get the uniform. After all, every assistant was obligated to wear the same uniform, consisting of a shirt and knee-length skirt. It was form-fitting and the fabric was top-notch too.…After Zoe got changed, Ava couldn’t help but praise her. “It’s like it’s tailored for you.” With that, she checked the time and said, “I’m going to have a team meeting soon. Go ahead and report to Mr. Mason. He might have some tasks ready for you. Basically, your job starts today.”That surprised Zoe. She thought she’d be sent to some training course for a couple of months before she started the job. Ava realized her concerns

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.

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
