I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 216
Zoe rushed back home. True enough, Sherry wasn’t feeling well. It hadn’t been eating for the whole day. Not even its favorite snack or toy could lift its spirits.Mia was wracked with worry. “Is it sick? I’ll get changed and go to the vet with you. I’m afraid it’ll get worse if we drag this out.”She carried the puppy, thought about it, and said, “Given Dad’s condition, we can’t afford to leave him alone. I’ll run Sherry by the vet myself! I’m thinking about hiring a private nurse. That’ll make your life easier, too, Mia.”Mia pondered on it and said, “That’s a good idea! It’s late, so watch out and stay safe.”Gordon came out of his room just as she was going out and rubbed the puppy’s head. He said to Mia when his daughter had left, “You’ve always given that puppy the stink eye, but you’re more concerned about it than the rest of us when something happens!”She went to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water and medicine. Moments later, he heard her voice from the kitchen, “Loo

Mason got out of the car and walked into the pet shop.He came out of the pet shop in less than five minutes and put the dog diapers into the trunk. He even petted Sherry when he got back into the car, but his words were directed to Zoe instead, “I bought the Extra Small diapers. Put them on for Sherry when you’re back home!”She nodded and turned her head to the side to watch the views out the car window.He started the engine and chatted with her casually, “Why did Rosemary tell me you’re setting up a business? Is it because you need more money? You could’ve just told me that.” The tone was gentle, but the hint of condescension was unmistakable. That made her slightly uncomfortable, “Stop finding out stuff about my life, Mason.”“I’m just expressing concern!”There was a traffic light up front. He stopped the car and leaned over to look at her. His voice was very soft when he said, “We might be divorced, but we’re still technically family! All I want is to care about you the w

Zoe went into her apartment and found that Mia hadn’t slept. She was waiting for her stepdaughter to come home. She was dumbfounded when she heard Sherry was having a period. “I didn’t know dogs get periods!”Zoe tore up the diaper bag and put one on Sherry. It fit well! Sherry probably felt much better after putting on the diaper. It proceeded to eat some food and drink some water before falling asleep on her chest.The lights were turned off but she found it hard to sleep. It wasn’t until midnight that she dozed off.…Two days later, she brought Ella along to check out the location Rosemary recommended. It has everything she was looking for. With Rosemary’s help, she made a lunch appointment with Clayton, who owned Skyline Galleria.Rosemary said to her, “Clayton took his wife’s last name in order to marry her and he’s a proud man. Watch your steps and don’t trigger him. He’s very flexible and easy to talk to, aside from that.”That gave Zoe a peace of mind. She thanked Ros

Rosemary might be forty years old, but she retained her charm and her eyes were looking very seductive now.Terrence had a lover on the side recently, but it had been a long time since he was intimate with her. He was aroused by Rosemary’s suggestive eyes and walked over to wrap his arms around her waist in hopes of having sex with her.However, she thought of the affairs he had and felt sick instantly.Patting his hands lightly, she feigned anger, “It’s broad daylight. The servants are moving about in the house! They’ll see us! Moreover, I’m having a period. So, I can’t do it!”That ticked him off. Then, he quickly made up an excuse about work and left. She knew, deep down, that he was going to find his lover and sate his lust.…Zoe gave the gifts to Ella. She felt quite moved. It wasn’t so much about the gifts as it was about Rosemary showing her respect. Then, she told Zoe about the fact that Clayton had been pestering her for the past few days. He didn’t do anything too

Mason sat in his car until he could no longer see Zoe. It was dark in the car. Wearing formal attire, he leaned back on the leather seat, exuding elegance and aloofness.Luke remained quiet in the driver’s seat for a while before asking him softly, “Are we going back to the manor, Mr. Mason?” Mason was about to say something when his phone rang. It was his mother.Answering the phone with his lean fingers, he said slightly coldly, “What do you want?”Back in Lockwood Manor, Lisa was donned in an elegant sleeping gown and leaning on a luxurious couch, holding a few pictures in her hands. They were pictures from the time when Mason and Zoe were in his car with a puppy in her hands.Lisa questioned her son, “You guys are divorced. There’s no need to spend any time with her! How’s the public going to think about you two? What about the prospective wealthy families that intend to marry their daughters into our family? What will they think?”He shifted into a more comfortable posi

The night grew darker as Mason grew more disheartened……Zoe’s shop was located at a strategic location in Skyline Galleria. It was right by the entrance. It was more than two thousand square feet and had a flow to it. Just the right sort of setup for a dessert spot. It was undergoing renovation by a famously expensive contractor. Ella was inspecting the site with her. She went through the bill and gasped, “The rental costs us two million dollars per annum and the renovation alone costs us another five million. “Even with the advantage of the location, the crowd here could only bring in twenty million dollars in profit per annum. And that’s a best-case scenario. How long is it going to take before we break even?”Zoe ran her hand across the wall and said softly, “We’re not using this spot to bring in profits! We’re going to build our brand with it, so we could franchise it out. Once our brand is strong, we won’t need to splurge on a location as strategic and wide as this one is.

By the time Mason arrived at Skyline Galleria, it was half past six in the evening. Barbara was sitting on the bench in front of Zoe’s soon-to-be dessert spot, eating a hot dog Ella bought her. She saw Mason and told him that it tasted delicious and that he should set up a hot dog joint.He wasn’t sure if he should be upset or amused. Closing the car door, he walked over to his grandma, crouched, and said in a deep voice. “Do you how many doctors and nurses were searching for you because you ran away from the hospital? Yet, here you are, eating a hot dog on the curbside like a child.”Then, he took away her hot dog.Barbara was unhappy about it. So, she swiped the hot dog from him and said, “I’m here to see my grandaughter-in-law!”Zoe remained quiet.He stared at her for a second before standing up and looking at Zoe instead. They might’ve stood near to each other, but they felt awkward nonetheless. They were divorced, after all.Then, she handed him the jewelry box. “Grandma
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 223
The next day, Zoe made her way to Lockwood Corporation. She passed the jewelry box to Ava and asked her to give it to Mason. Ava hesitated a while before asking, “Perhaps you should talk things over with Mr. Mason? I’ve been with him for the past few days and I can tell he hasn’t stopped thinking about you.”Zoe shook her head with a smile. “We’re divorced. So, it’s really not necessary!”Ava watched as she left and pondered. It seemed that Zoe had truly moved on from Mason.Making her way to the top floor, she entered his office and gave the jewelry box to him.He ran his finger across its surface gently and asked softly, “Did she have a message for me?”She shook her head in response, “She didn’t say anything.”After a brief moment, he said lightly, “You may leave now!”He touched the box again after Ava left. He had tried to treat Zoe well and made a lot of efforts after the divorce, but she didn’t want it. Not his efforts and certainly not his gifts.She had moved on from
