Zoe could not be oblivious to what was happening. However, she chose not to argue and left the decision in Mason's hands. After all, intelligent women did not need to steal the spotlight in such situations.Everyone assumed Mason would not agree. To their surprise, Mason extinguished his cigarette, his tone nonchalant as he said, "Let's play."In the past, Mason was not keen on such childish games during social events. Yet, today marked his unprecedented entry into the game.Zoe sat by his side, gently embraced by him. They resembled an affectionate couple. When Zoe was occasionally penalized, Mason would draw her close. His warm palm lightly touched her delicate face, blatantly displaying their affection.Zoe understood that he was doing it on purpose, and she played along.While everyone in the room bantered, the expressions of the Waldolf siblings, especially Gregory, grew increasingly unpleasant. This time, Zoe lost again.This round was for Truth, with Gregory as the winne

Mason was a scion of a wealthy family. He rarely engaged in physical altercations, especially not over a woman. However, today was different. He got into a heated brawl with Gregory, and it was quite intense. Neither backed down, and both ended up with some bruises.In the end, Mason delivered a harsh kick to Gregory. Turning to Zoe, he said, "Let's go."Despite the pain, Gregory grabbed Zoe's arm, his face bruised but intense. He stared into her eyes and said, "The last time you told me, I only make things difficult for women. You said besides Mason, no one could help you. "Zoe, now I'm telling you, I can too. I promise to give you everything Mason can, and even what he can't. Zoe, why go back to him? Why chain yourself to this loveless marriage? You admitted you don't love him anymore."Zoe watched him calmly. After a while, she gently pushed away Gregory's hand, smiling faintly. "Gregory, I think you've misunderstood. I chose to go back to Mason willingly. Our relationship is

Zoe continued to caress his handsome face. After a moment, Mason caught her delicate fingers, preventing her from touching him further. He firmly pinned her wrist to the pillow. Just as he was about to fully indulge in the moment, Mason noticed some faint pink scars on Zoe's fair wrist. It was remnants of the cuts she had inflicted the last time he forced her.Mason's black eyes narrowed slightly. However, he chose to be gentle, pressing against her without being rough. He kissed the delicate scars tenderly, his voice husky and uncharacteristically soft. "Does it still hurt?"Unable to bear the memories, Zoe turned her face away. That night in the hotel, Mason had treated her like a prostitute, and she could not forget or let go of it. She could endure his roughness, but his tenderness was unbearable. It reminded her of the times when she had begged him for affection and pity, like a stray dog desperate for love.With moist eyes, Zoe suddenly cupped Mason's handsome face. Her

Ella felt her heart ache to the point of tears. She tightly held Zoe's hand. "Why is he so fickle? Is he going through an early mid-life crisis or something?"The atmosphere, initially heavy, lightened up when Ella made that remark. Zoe even chuckled. "It's quite possible!"The two chatted for a while. Ella looked at Zoe with a complex expression. "Last night, Gregory ended up in the hospital. He broke a rib, and it was Leslie who sent him there. Gabriela couldn't stand Gregory's feelings for you. The siblings had a big fight at the hospital, and it was Mrs. Margaret who eventually came to resolve it. I guess the Waldolf family is in chaos right now."Zoe stirred her coffee with her head down. In a low voice, she said, "I didn't provoke him."Ella naturally understood that she was worried about Gregory not giving up. In simple terms, Gregory only had some fear of Zoe because she was Mason's wife. If that were to change someday…Ella did not dare to think about it. She refraine
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 90
It seemed that Mason had come directly from the office. Dressed in a sharp three-piece suit, he looked incredibly handsome. He was youthful and charming yet exuding the typical allure of a successful man. Many young girls could not help stealing glances at him. It was something he was accustomed to. Mason walked directly to Zoe and looked at the gigantic movie poster."Do you want to watch this?" he asked.Zoe discreetly clenched the movie ticket, smiling lightly as she denied, "I just thought of grabbing a soda."Mason's deep eyes focused on her for a moment. He then personally bought her a drink, saying casually when paying, "You used to dislike this, didn't you?"Zoe smiled faintly. "People change."Mason handed her the soda, smiling. "How about watching a movie together?"It was the first time Mason had invited her on a date. In the past, Zoe would probably have been overwhelmed with gratitude and felt so thrilled that she would not be able to sleep for three nights. No

Mason lightly pinched her chin. He had no romantic feelings for Lilith, and whether he saw her or not was irrelevant. He only helped her fix her legs due to their past friendship, and then he introduced her to Aiden. They were square and even. However, he did not want to explain these things to Zoe. After all, after three years of marriage, he knew what she was thinking.Right now, she simply did not care about him. Otherwise, she would not go to such lengths to flaunt her charm just to avoid watching a movie with him. Zoe was now repulsed by him. She could not even bear the thought of watching a movie with him. Her previous fondness for him had vanished into thin air.…Feeling dissatisfied, Mason became somewhat cranky when they returned home. Usually, he was tolerant of the servants, but during dinner, he complained that the food was not up to par. The servants were somewhat anxious but dared not speak up.Zoe knew that his anger was directed at her. Not wanting to mak

Early in the morning, Zoe was ironing Mason's shirts in the master bedroom's dressing room, selecting a suitable tie. She knew today was the shareholders' meeting at Lockwood Corporation, and to showcase his status, she even picked a tie pin.Someone embraced her delicate figure.Zoe was slightly surprised. After their unpleasantness last night, she thought he would be distant for a few days. Mason did not mention the movie ticket incident.He held his wife's slender waist, evaluating the tie pin in his hand. His voice was warm. "It was inconvenient when you weren't home."Zoe smiled lightly. "I'm back now."Just as she finished speaking, Mason turned her around.He pressed her against a transparent glass display cabinet, lifting her slightly. Zoe half-sat on his left leg. The bathrobe was pulled aside as her husband held her body, toying with her.It was still early, but Mason did not care.He was not really in the mood for anything particularly salacious. He lazily groped her

Mia's mindset was indeed old-fashioned. After contemplating for a moment, she said softly, "Zoe, have a baby. Life won't be as tough with a child."Zoe understood her good intentions. She once desired to have a child with Mason when she was with him. However, returning to his side again, she had no such thoughts.Zoe smiled lightly. "Let's talk about it in a couple of years."Mia sighed softly and watched Zoe leave. After leaving the hospital, Zoe went to the clinic to get more contraceptives. Maybe it was her imagination, but the recent intimate moments with Mason made her think he was not keen on using protection. Sometimes, even when they had run out of condoms, he would still proceed eagerly.Not wanting to get pregnant, she had to take care of it herself. After getting the medicine, she was about to leave but unexpectedly encountered the very people she did not want to see. Lilith and Carly.Although they were not from a notable background, due to Mason's relationship, th

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
