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

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

"Rub my temples for me," the man spoke, his voice hoarse.Zoe set aside the book in her hands, surprisingly not harboring any resentment. She leaned over to massage him. In the past, she had learned this skill to comfort him after long hours of work.However, as soon as she touched him, she frowned slightly. "Mason, you have a fever!"Mason opened his eyes. Due to his illness, his usually bright black eyes seemed dim. Suddenly, his hand reached for her slender waist as if intending to engage in an intimate act.Zoe restrained his hand, preventing him from acting recklessly.Mason rarely fell ill, but his temper worsened each time he did. In the past, Zoe had always accommodated him, taking care of him meticulously and occasionally letting him have his way.Mason, feeling unwell and unsatisfied, became even more disgruntled. His black eyes stared intently at Zoe. "What's wrong? You don't want to do it?"Zoe took the initiative to sit on his lap, reaching for the medicine box whil

It was autumn.He was dressed all in black with a matching light windbreaker. The morning sunlight touched his side profile, and the early breeze tousled his neatly trimmed hair, making him exceptionally handsome.Perhaps sensing Zoe's gaze, Mason slightly raised his head, and their eyes met. Neither of them looked away. Mason even squinted as if trying to see her more clearly. He saw his wife standing in the soft light, facing the sun, and he could glimpse her radiance.Mason took a deep drag of his cigarette. His cheeks were deeply indented due to the effort, exuding a strong masculine charm. Then, he chuckled, seemingly mocking her.At this moment, Ava came out from the foyer, carrying luggage. The driver placed the luggage in the trunk, and only then did Zoe realize that Mason was going on a business trip. Her phone rang in the bedroom.Zoe walked back to check. Surprisingly, the call was from Ava, who was polite but somewhat distant. "Mrs. Zoe, could you please bring down Mr.

As she descended the stairs, the small living room had been supplied with with tea, coffee, and breakfast for Zoe.Carly was quite observant.Seeing Zoe in good spirits, she felt annoyed. "Mrs. Zoe, how can you be so happy? You need to manage your marriage well. Are you just going to watch Mr. Mason fool around? With that woman around, don't you feel any sense of crisis?"Zoe paid no attention to them.Sitting at the low table, she poured herself a latte after careful consideration. After savoring it, she smiled. "Are you here because of Brittany? Are you afraid that Ms. Lilith will lose Mason's favor? You should go find Mason instead of trying to work an angle with me. After all, if I managed my marriage as well as you seem to want me to, Ms. Lilith wouldn't get any favors from Mason."Carly was momentarily speechless.She sought Zoe because she had no other choice. She did not know what would happen to their family if Mason found a new lover.Therefore, she planned to team
