Chapter 31

When Zoe went upstairs, Mia was not home. After giving her a call, Zoe found out that Mia did not call Mason. Zoe hung up the phone, speculating that the villa's servant had lied to help her escape. However, she did not dwell on it. It was a rare occasion that she didn't have work tonight, so she took a shower and went to bed early. In her dreams, she recalled her newlywed life with Mason. Yet, in the dream, Mason remained as indifferent as ever, his words filled with impatience. Her phone rang, waking her up. She saw a message from Mason with only a few words. "Don't forget to visit Grandma tomorrow. I'll wait for you at the Imperial Hotel after work." How could Zoe forget? Thinking of Lilith's extravagant fireworks, Zoe immediately accepted the transfer that Mason had included as a fee for her compliance. She donated it to the local animal shelter.At 1:00 AM, Mason's car stopped by the roadside. Leaning back, he scrolled his phone. He had sent Zoe a 3,000-dollar trans

Chapter 32

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

"You've got issues. Don't forget, she's someone's wife."…Zoe was alone in the dressing room as she took off the little black dress, revealing her fair body adorned in black lingerie, glowing softly under the dim yellow lights.With a creak, the door swung open. Zoe was startled, immediately covering her chest with a shirt and turning to see who it was. To her surprise, it was Mason.He stared at her, leisurely closing the dressing room door behind him.Zoe bit her lip. "Mason, this is the women's dressing room!"Mason seemed to ignore her words. He walked toward her, removing the shirt from her hands before she could react. Then, with one hand, he pressed her against the dressing room counter, examining her under the lights.This situation made Zoe uncomfortable. Goosebumps covered her body as she trembled slightly. She dared not speak, afraid of attracting others into the room.However, Mason did not do anything else. He just quietly observed her as if they had never been

Chapter 34

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

His tone was mocking. "Zoe, you've become quite assertive now."After saying that, he let go of her and went to take a cold shower. Ten minutes later, Mason emerged from the bathroom. He looked at Zoe, who had spread a thin blanket on the sofa, clearly intending to sleep there for the night.Annoyance welled up inside him. The suppressed anger surged up again. Without thinking, he lifted Zoe and threw her onto the soft bed, pressing down on her.Zoe buried her face in the pillow. Mason had no intention of touching her, as he was still upset. However, just when he was about to let her go, Zoe's phone rang with a text notification.Mason raised an eyebrow. "Who's messaging you at this time?"Still sore from being held down, Zoe replied with a hint of irritation, "It's none of your business."Mason sneered.He pressed down on her delicate shoulders and reached for her phone on the bedside table. Using her fingerprint, he unlocked it. Zoe felt embarrassed. "Mason, you have n

Chapter 36

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

Chapter 37

Lilith's hands clenched tight. However, on the surface, she still wore a seemingly obedient look. "I understand, Mr. Mason."Mason got up and left. Lilith's parents appeared outside the door, wanting to initiate conversation when they saw Mason. However, Mason had already entered the elevator before their mouths could open. Ava gave them a stern look and followed him in.Only Mason and Ava were in the elevator, and the red numbers on the screen continued to descend. Suddenly, Mason asked, "Why was Lilith sent to Samphia Hospital? I remember Zoe's father is being treated in this hospital."Ava's heart skipped a beat. Immediately, she explained, "Mr. Mason, this really wasn't my idea. When I arrived at the airport, the ambulance had already taken Lilith to this hospital. Mr. Mason, will you come to visit Lilith after her surgery tomorrow?"As the elevator doors opened, Mason walked out, saying, "I'm not her doctor."Ava followed him. Mason got into his car, a black Bentley,

Chapter 38

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

Chapter 39

His words carried a hint of provocation.Mason smirked, gesturing for the caddy to place the ball. Then, with a slight tilt, he swung the club.Watching the ball's landing spot, he walked in that direction, speaking leisurely, "Since when have you understood me so well? Yes, one has to keep a close eye on the wife at home to prevent unwanted attention. What do you think, Gregory?"Gregory's expression was not pleasant. After a moment, he sneered. "But sometimes, no matter how closely you watch, it still won't work. There's a saying. Love is like sand. The more you want to grasp it, the faster it slips away."Under the sunset, the lush green grass stretched out. Mason, dressed in a white casual outfit, looked smart and energetic. He lowered his head and swung the golf club.With two strokes, the ball was in the hole.Mason showed no interest in playing further. Handing the club to the caddy, he took a towel to wipe his hands, smiling at Gregory. "Gregory, I've never failed to

Chapter 40

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
