I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 126
Zoe shook her head. She watched as the elevator door closed and said softly, “My marriage is in the dumps. I can’t afford to lose my career along with it. It’ll be fine, David. Let’s go!”The private party was surprisingly successful. Zoe performed ‘A Pair of Butterflies’ before prestigious figures in the music industry and found herself hailed as the most beautiful rising classical violinist. Aiden was especially pleased with her performance and introduced her to a lot of people. She drank a lot of wine tonight. She felt a little uncomfortable on the way back. It felt as if her stomach was on fire. Luke sent her home and made sure the servants were aware of her condition. He asked them to make some tea and send it to Zoe’s room.The servant was concerned about her and went away to prepare tea immediately. However, she found Zoe slumped on the couch when she came upstairs. Beads of sweat covered Zoe’s forehead as she clutched her tummy.The sight shocked the servant to the core.

Mason and Zoe looked at each other intensely.He noticed she was wearing a patient’s gown and that she looked rather pale. He then realized she had a resigned look on her face as she regarded him, as if she didn’t know him at all.It wasn’t that long ago when she was lying in his arms and speaking to him tenderly.“It might take me years, even decades, to rediscover my love for you, Mason. Would you still want it then?”He meant it when he said, “I would!” However, he couldn’t deny that he did squander her love after that.They stared at each other for a long time. At last, he spoke with a trembling voice, “Zoe!” He tried to grab her hand, but she shoved him away. A hint of sadness traced her lips as she spoke sternly, “I’ve been so naive! I can’t believe I thought you were really starting to love me! To this day, you still thought I set you up that night. Just what am I to you? “I can’t believe I expected you to love me and that we’re really starting over! This is just ridi

Half an hour later, Zoe was back in the manor. She didn’t use an umbrella when she got out of the car. Instead, she let the rain fall on her and cleanse her mind as well as her heart. Stepping inside with her shoes, a pool of rainwater collected on the white carpet. The servant didn’t dare to say anything. All she could do was make some tomato soup for her to fight the cold.Zoe went upstairs and the first thing she saw was their ‘wedding photo.’ Mason wouldn’t take the picture with her back then. She was the one who shamelessly asked the studio to photoshop him into the picture and paid them eighty thousand dollars for the trouble.There was a time when she’d look at this picture and look forward to the day when Mason would love her from the bottom of his heart. However, there was nothing but irony when she looked at it now! Stomping onto the bed, she tried to take it down. She was so agitated that she accidentally cut her hand on the photo’s steel frame. It was a frightening

Mason touched the makeup table with trembling fingers.Zoe had taken the diary!All of a sudden, a burning smell came from the balcony. Something was burning there. He flinched as he realized something and dashed over there.At the next moment, he saw Zoe burning their wedding photo. Not even the diary was able to escape the same fate. She just sat there and watched quietly as if she was burning something summarily unimportant.“You’re out of your mind!”He didn’t even think twice before he dashed in to save her diary. In fact, he didn’t even bother wearing anything to protect himself. He simply tried to dig the diary out of the flames with his bare hands.He didn’t even have time to think why he was doing this. It was nothing but a diary, after all. In the end, he managed to put out the fire, but there was only half of it left. Not giving a damn about his burnt hands, he flipped open the diary hastily. It just so happened that he got the page that wrote, “Mason will never

“It makes me think about the triumphant look on your face when you hold me and watch as I fall for you! You must’ve been thinking that I’m way too easy. All you have to do is say something sweet and I’ll fall for all your lies! “I might’ve loved you in the past, Mason, but it’ll never happen again!”…Zoe was dazed as she spoke. Her heart was aching.Mason, on the other hand, was drained. He wasn’t exactly a patient man. He played nice with her but she wasn’t reciprocating. Rubbing his forehead, he asked her, “Well, what do you want? Do you want to act as if we’re strangers? Or, do you want a divorce? Let me remind you that you need Liam for your brother’s case. Can you afford to leave me?”Still burying her face in the pillow, she remained quiet. He could just guess what was going on in her mind. She wanted a divorce so she could leave him. She’d even go so far as to avoid all manner of contact with him. After all, she burned her freaking diary. Surely, she didn’t love him a

A resounding slap landed on Mason's face.Mason came to a halt, his gaze lowered to the person on the pillow. Zoe's heart surged with emotions, her silk nightgown slipping off her shoulders, revealing the delicate and rounded contours of her breasts. She exuded a fragile beauty."Getting violent now?" Mason spoke softly, his eyes carrying hidden emotions.He held onto her hand, firmly pressing it above the snowy white pillow... For a moment, he didn't make a move.Zoe's nose turned red.She looked up at Mason, her voice broken. "Mason, are you trying to rape me now? If that's not what you want, then let me go!"Mason didn't release her.He stared at her vulnerable state for a while before speaking in a hoarse voice. "When I said I wanted to start over, I meant it."Zoe turned her face away.Her face buried deep into the pillow, she murmured, "There will be no children between us, let alone anything else. I can't afford to play around, Mason. We're done!"She finished spea

"Prepare it yourself." Zoe's voice was soft and hoarse. "Mason, from now on, I won't manage your personal life. You can pay someone to tend to your clothes and accessories. Otherwise, you can bring Ava to the house and give her a raise to do it."Mason frowned, displeased. "I don't like others meddling in these private matters."Silence filled the bedroom.After a while, Zoe's voice was raspy. "Then, bear with it. I won't do it. If you think spending so much money on me is a waste, you can divorce me, Mason. I don't have to be Mrs. Lockwood."Mason stood quietly.He understood Zoe's meaning. She would stay as Mrs. Lockwood, but she wouldn't serve him anymore. She didn't even mind if Ava intervened in their lives. She really didn't see him as a husband anymore. She was thinking that since he played around with women, one more or one less didn't matter.Mason snorted. "You're quite feisty all of a sudden!" After saying that, he went into the dressing room and changed into anoth

When Mason returned to the villa, it was almost eleven o'clock.Entering the foyer, a servant approached and welcomed him softly, "Sir, you're back. Do you want to have supper?"Mason took off his coat, unbuttoned two shirt buttons, and then said calmly, "Just something plain and simple will do. Is Zoe already asleep?"The servant respectfully took his coat and whispered, "She had a little something in the evening, played the piano for a while, and hasn't come down since."Mason murmured his acknowledgment.As the servant left, he walked to the dining room. He sat down, reached for the glass door of the French window, and lit a cigarette. In the pale smoke, memories flooded back. He remembered how Zoe used to wait for him at home, preparing a table full of dishes or snacks, eagerly anticipating him trying it. Even if it was just a bite, it could make her happy for half a day.In the past, the dining table was lonely.Now, it was still lonely, but the person who felt the lonel
