Zoe returned to Brookesville and drove directly to the cemetery from the airport.In early winter, a chilly wind blew. She wore a black coat and held a bouquet of daisies, her mother's favorite. Standing in the cold wind, she gazed at her mother's smiling face on the tombstone.Her mother passed away in a car accident. In Zoe's memories, her mother was gentle and affectionate, deeply in love with her father. In the evening, the sound of a car would resonate in the courtyard of Kirk Manor. Her mother would carry her downstairs to welcome her father. Her father would kiss her mother first and then hug her, asking, "Did you miss Daddy?""I did! I want to follow you to pick up Noah from school.""Okay! Let's pick up your brother together and not disturb your mom while she paints."…The young Zoe sat in the black RV, watching her mother from behind the rear window. Her mother stood in the courtyard, wearing a shawl, with a blooming wax plum tree beside her and a faint smile on her

The maid came upstairs again, her voice subdued. "Sir, Ava has arrived."Mason held the diamond ring in his hand, quietly looking at it. Upon hearing this, he calmly said, "Ask her to wait for me downstairs."Ava sat in the grand hall on the first floor. When she came, she heard from the maid that Zoe had moved out, separating from Mason. She thought she would be happy about it, but surprisingly, she wasn't.When Mason came downstairs, he had changed into a different outfit. He looked weary as he descended, asking, "What's so urgent that you had to come to my home to discuss it?" After saying that, he sat at the dining table to eat.Eating alone was always a bit desolate. He didn't have much of an appetite.Feeling compelled, Ava carefully spoke up, "After the incident, Ms. Lilith has been asking to see you. However, you haven't answered her calls or visited her. She cut her arms again in the hospital, losing a lot of blood."Still scooping the soup, Mason responded casually, "

When Mason was about to head to the office the next morning, the servant informed him that someone had come, bringing two items.Mason adjusted his cufflinks, his eyebrows relaxing. "Where are the items?"The servant presented two meticulously crafted boxes, intending to carry them to the second floor for Mason. However, he calmly said, "I'll handle it myself."He took the boxes upstairs and gently opened them.The two items, though cleaned and repaired, couldn't restore the words Zoe wrote in the past.It was a diary, half filled with Zoe's passionate and naive words and half with white silk paper.Mason's slender fingers gently touched those words. His expression was tender as if looking at Zoe when she was 18, passionately in love with him.He looked at it for a long time, and the photo was hung on the wall.…Three days later, Zoe met Mason at a social event.She and David were seeking sponsorship for a dinner. After drinking two glasses of red wine, she felt a bit lighth

Zoe stared back at him calmly.After a while, Mason dialed her phone.Zoe answered, hearing Mason's icy tone. "Get out of the car."Zoe looked at him, speaking softly, "Mason, I told you we're separated. I can be with whoever I want. I won't deliberately distance myself from my friends just because of you. Besides, today is Mrs. Ruby's birthday. I am just having dinner. There's no reason for you to doubt me.""But you know that Cecil likes you.""Why does that matter? Doesn't Lilith like you, too? Did you do anything about that?"…Zoe hung up the phone.Through the car windshield, Mason saw the tears in her eyes. He assumed it was because Lilith was mentioned. It seemed like she still cared.On the other side, Cecil started the car, ready to accelerate and collide.The two cars grazed each other, making a harsh noise.Mason had a bad temper. He had never backed down, especially when it came to someone like Cecil.But Zoe was sitting in the car.He was afraid she would get

At the top floor of the Lockwood Group, Ava knocked lightly on the door and entered.Mason was sitting in the CEO's office, reviewing documents. He wore a three-piece suit, exuding a cool and refined aura.Hearing the sound, Mason looked up. "How's the matter going?"Ava shook her head. "I specifically went to Mr. Aiden's assistant just now. He refused to accept your sponsorship, saying they would find other ways."Mason leaned back.He remained silent for a good while before speaking softly, "I see. You can leave for now."Sensing his bad mood, Ava quickly exited, closing the door behind her.The office fell silent.Mason took out a diamond ring from his pocket and stared at it in silence.Zoe rejected the car he wanted to give her and refused his investment. She even gave up Kirk Manor. It seemed she no longer cared about his relationship with Lilith. She just wanted to leave him. "Don't try to please me with these things anymore. We're separated. Even if we maintain the t
