Semua Bab I Refuse to Divorce!: Bab 101 - Bab 110

When he was done, Mason let Zoe go and went to take a bath. He was dressed neatly by the time he came out of the bathroom. Meanwhile, Zoe stayed behind, too worn out to move at all. He gave her a sidelong glance and sneered before he left the room. He got into his Bentley, but didn't leave immediately. Instead, he lit up a cigarette and smoked it. The truth was that he no longer had a good time during sex if Zoe was miserable about it. It lacked a certain something when she wasn't as into it as he was.A thin wisp of gray smoke rose and swirled around him, giving him an air of mystery. He thought about his wife and what she said to him. Did she really just ask him if he could love her and make sacrifices for their relationship?He smirked to himself at the thought of it. Raised in a twisted environment, Mason had never learned how to love anyone, nor did he ever intend to. With that said, he was obsessed over Zoe’s love for him, but he wasn't sure why.Perhaps it was becau

You could hear a pin drop in the office. Liam was wearing a gold watch on his lean hands, holding a platinum business card. It had his private number on it.Zoe took it from him gingerly. She stared at him for some time before asking softly, “Why would you help me, Liam? I thought you’d take Mason’s side.”He didn’t answer her. Instead, he leaned back on his chair and smoked the cigar wordlessly. Truth be told, he didn’t have a good reason for doing this. If he had to find a reason, then perhaps it was because of what he saw in the hospital that day. The cuts on her wrists were terrifying to look at and it reminded him so much of the same injuries he had seen on his mother. There was a definite difference between them, though. His mother was determined to die and she had succeeded in her goal.On the other hand, Zoe was doing everything she could to stay alive. Perhaps that was what triggered his compassion for her.…Zoe was gripping the business card tightly and her palms were

Zoe said softly, “That’s not it.” Then, she averted her gaze and spoke even more quietly, “I’m having my period.”Mason was a little startled.Then, he came back to his senses and couldn’t help but touch her warm cheeks. Zoe never wore makeup when she was at home. He was touching her bare skin and it was irresistible.Staring at her, he could not help but laugh. “Am I that much of a monster in your eyes, Zoe? Do you think I’ll force myself on you when you’re on your period?”Her eyes were slightly wet with tears, but she didn’t answer him.He got his answer from her reaction. She probably thought he cared only about pleasuring himself, even if it was at the cost of his wife’s well-being. And she would’ve been right. He had never cared about her in the past and he liked to do it rough, but he had never done it with her when she was having her period.Grabbing her slender arm, he pulled her up and let her sit on his lap. Zoe wasn’t used to this kind of intimacy. They had never be

Zoe’s ears were indeed red. She gripped the drawer with her slim hands and tried to stop him from peering into it. “It’s nothing! I bought a new perfume and I had just unwrapped it.”“Oh, I see.” Reacting out of his character, he spoke slowly, “Give it a whirl! I want to smell it. Don’t they always say a perfume makes a lady?” His voice was flirty but it carried a hint of a threat. Zoe couldn’t find it in her to say no to him.He had pulled open the drawer completely as they spoke. True enough, there was a bottle of perfume in there. He took it and squeezed some of the perfume behind her ear. It was probably due to the sudden burst of air, but her ear actually trembled lightly.Mason’s eyes grew darker at that. Holding her perky shoulders, he pressed his face against her neck and brushed her ear with his nose. Then, he spoke in his husky, seductive voice, “You smell so good.”She couldn’t help but tremble lightly. “Mason!”Chuckling, he said, “You’re still on your period.

Mason was about to say something when the door to the operating room swung open. The doctor came out and let out a sigh of relief. “We pumped the patient’s stomach and managed to stabilize her. We’re going to work with the police to get to the bottom of this incident, Mr. Mason. Just leave it to us!”Mason, however, remained calm. Leaning over, he gave some instructions to Ava. “Have Lilith transfered to Lockwood Hospital at dawn.”She nodded in response, the bags under her eyes clearly visible.Carly spoke hesitantly, “You have to stay by Lilith’s side, Mason! She could've died. She needs you now!”Ava snapped at her, “Mr. Mason isn’t a doctor, for Heaven’s sake!” That silenced Carly immediately.Then, Mason looked at Cecil and smiled, “I came here in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to explain everything to Zoe! She’s probably wrapped in her her blanket, feeling upset. Don’t worry, Cecil. I’m going to go home and keep her company now.”He checked the time and continue
