All Chapters of I Refuse to Divorce!: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Zoe was quite surprised. Due to the previous issues with Gabriela, Gregory had not treated her very kindly. Just the night before, he had caused trouble for her. Now, he was offering to give her a ride.Zoe instinctively felt that he had ulterior motives. She stepped back, adopting a slightly distant attitude. "Gregory, you promised not to make things difficult for me."Gregory stared at her momentarily before uttering, "I know." With that, he drove away, leaving behind a trail of smoke.…Zoe thought that the matter with Gregory had come to an end. However, that night, she met him again on the 56th floor of the Imperial Hotel. He was sitting with Leslie and the others, but this time, no starlets or models were by his side.When Zoe went on stage, Gregory glanced up. This seemingly casual gesture did not escape Leslie's notice. He casually played a pair of kings, saying, "Gregory, you don't usually come to my place. What's going on today? What brought you here?"Gregory r

Lockwood Manor was brightly lit, with servants bustling around, serving various dishes on a large dining table.Barbara personally hovered over everyone, worried that her grandson would not be in good spirits tonight. She even had the kitchen make stew and health tonics.Barbara presented it attentively to Zoe.Barbara chuckled. "I've looked at the charts. I'm sure you'll get pregnant tonight." Even after three years of marriage, Zoe blushed at such intimate talk, especially with several servants standing in the hall.Mason cast a glance at her. Unabashed, he sweet-talked Barbara, "I'll have to put in some effort later to make sure we have a grandchild for you soon, Grandma."Barbara could not stop smiling, as if the chubby great-grandchild were already waving at her. She then served her grandson a bowl of soup, saying, "This soup has been simmering for hours. Drink it while it's hot. It'll boost your stamina."Mason's expression remained unchanged.Zoe thought he was an exp

Zoe trembled in his arms, sinking into the unpleasant memories of the past three years. She began to disassociate from her body. Just as Mason was about to claim her, his phone kept ringing. Annoyed, he grabbed the phone and glanced at it. It was Ava calling. After some consideration, Mason answered the call in an unpleasant tone. "What's so important that you're calling so late?"On the other end, Ava sounded anxious. She said, "Mr. Mason, Lilith is here in Brookesville."Mason frowned slightly. After glancing at Zoe, he got up and walked outside to take the call. Even though Zoe heard only a fragment of Ava's words, she understood.Lilith was back in Brookesville.Mason had finally allowed his lover to step into their home. This was a great humiliation for Zoe, who was only Mrs. Lockwood by name.After a few minutes, Mason returned with a slightly tense expression. Returning to Brookesville with much ceremony, Lilith had been surrounded by reporters at the airport. Unf

In the parking lot of the Lockwood Group, Mason turned off the engine. Sitting in the car, he pondered for a moment and decided to call Zoe.Zoe refused to answer.Mason did not persist in making more calls. He leaned back on the leather seat and quietly lit a cigarette, contemplating whether Zoe was upset because of his rough treatment last night or because he left abruptly in the middle of the night. Zoe must have heard Ava’s words on the phone.With one hand gripping his phone, he wondered if he should comfort her or perhaps try to placate her. However, this thought lingered briefly before he brushed it off. Such lovey-dovey actions were not suitable for him and Zoe. He never loved Zoe in the past, not now, and not in the future.As he put away his phone, Ava approached and opened the car door for him. Having not slept all night, Ava was still full of energy. She had always been a hard worker, a trait that Mason admired, so he kept her around even after she crossed some boun

Zoe received the transfer from Mason while having coffee with Ella. Ella had received some news about Liam and wanted to discuss it with Zoe.Ella shared the information she gathered, saying, "Liam is in some primitive tribe in Yarifa, providing legal aid. The assistant mentioned he might not be back for another one or two years. I told you, Zoe, these successful lawyers, once they hit the big time, they seem to get disillusioned with the urban life and money. It's all about the hustle and bustle of the big city, isn't it?"After finishing, Ella took a big sip of her coffee, making a face.She could not stand this pretentious stuff.Zoe lowered her head, stirring her coffee lightly.Worried that Zoe could not handle the news, Ella consoled her softly, "Let's keep looking into it. I refuse to believe that no one else can handle it besides him."Zoe nodded, about to say something, when she received a 30 thousand-dollar transfer notification.She was slightly taken aback.Seeing h
