I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 258
Zoe checked her notifications. It was Liam. He sent over a document and asked her to print it. Putting her phone aside, she raised her eyes and wanted to continue her conversation with Mason.However, he was already on his way upstairs. He said nonchalantly, “We’ll continue this after I come back.”It was warm in spring, but she felt cold all over.He was her husband and yet he was acting so aloof towards her. She said softly, “You kept saying that I don’t treat you the way a husband deserves, Mason. Well. Have you been treating me with the respect a wife deserves?“You can say that you’re getting together with Gabriela and the other ladies because you wanted to rile me up. However, I think you know very well what Lilith’s role is in our marriage. Now, you’re going to take a flight to be with her and I can’t even have a minute to say something to you.”He stopped in his tracks. After a brief moment, he leaned over and looked at her quietly, “What did you want to tell me?”She was

Mason stayed in the study for a long time.Picking up the split vinyl, he looked at it for a while before tossing it into the trash can. Then, he slumped onto the couch listlessly and raised his head. Feeling that the light was blinding, he shielded his eyes.His hands still hurt from the earlier slap. It was proof of how hard he hit her.He couldn’t believe that he actually did it. Closing his eyes, all he could see was her faint smile from earlier. There were tears in her eyes. She was a lady who was raised in a wealthy family, surrounded by people who loved her. No one had ever slapped her.It was outrageous that he slapped her while claiming that he loved her!Then, his phone rang. It was Ava. “We’re here, Mr. Mason. Are you coming down now?”He responded nonchalantly, “Push everything back by a day!”Ava said without thinking, “The medical professionals are already waiting for you, Mr. Mason!”His voice was cold and unfeeling when he responded, “I said, push it back by a

Mason was sitting in the car when he raised his eyes and looked at the second floor. He asked softly, “Is Zoe home?”Layla paused for a moment before answering, “Ms. Barbara hadn’t been feeling well. Ms. Zoe was taking care of her at her place. She's been there for a few days now.”He visibly relaxed and asked the servant to take his suitcases upstairs. Then, he drove toward Lockwood Manor.Half an hour later, he had arrived and parked at Lockwood Manor. He didn’t ask the servants to announce his arrival to them. Instead, he walked straight into his grandma’s bedroom. It was quiet in there. Barbara was leaning on a pillow, resting her eyes while Zoe leaned on the side of the bed. It looked like she was asleep.Instead of waking Barbara up, he sat next to Zoe and touched her cheeks lightly. She had gotten slimmer. Her face, which was already small to begin with, looked smaller than his palms now.Then, she jolted awake. She remained quiet, even though she saw the weariness on his

It was dark in the car and both of them were panting.Zoe was still sitting on his lap. Her fair skin looked more perky and graceful against his deep grey long pants. Her stockings, which he had pulled down, were hanging on her tender ankles, adding a trace of erotic air about her.Mason didn’t come to his senses until after a brief moment.He was going to be a dad!It was something he looked forward to for a long time. It might even been a little girl, just like he wanted. However, he found that he lacked the courage to embrace Zoe. A month ago, she told him she needed to have a word with him, but he pushed her away by telling her that he needed to go overseas. Then, they got into a fight over Lilith and he even slapped her at the end of it.She was pregnant and he slapped her!Gulping, he touched her cheeks with his lean fingers. There was no sign of the slap at all, but he couldn’t help and asked her again in his husky voice, “Does it still hurt?”Instead of answering him,

After a brief pause, Layla continued, “Ms. Lisa and Barbara aren’t aware that Ms. Zoe is pregnant! I think it’s better if you tell Ms. Lisa about it. Otherwise, she’ll keep trying to set you up with Ms. Gabriela! She had all but forgotten that you’re a married man. On top of that, you’re about to be a father soon!”Mason felt better at what she said, and responded lightly, “Alright.”Snuffing out the cigarette, he was about to climb the stairs when he saw a ball of white fur scampered down. It was Sherry. It had been a long time since the little puppy saw him and it missed him dearly, as was evidenced when it yapped at him repeatedly. Bending down, he picked it up and carried it upstairs. Then, he bathed and dried it before letting run around in the bedroom.Zoe, on the other hand, had taken a bath. Dressed in a silk sleeping gown, she was reading ‘What to Expect When You're Expecting.’ In fact, she was so engrossed in it that she didn’t even notice him walking in.He started to

Back in the Sanders’s apartment, Mia bought the necessary ingredients to make a fish soup because she knew Zoe was coming back home. Zoe was washing up some fruits when she saw it and nagged her, “You’re pregnant, for Heaven’s sake. Just take it easy! I’ll wash them.”Smiling lightly, she said, “I’m only three months pregnant. It’s fine!”Mia was startled at the mention of the pregnancy. Giving Zoe an apple, she decided to ask after hesitating for a while, “What’s your plan? Ella told me that you wanted to set up another dessert spot in Silvercrest. What’s up with that?”Taking a bite out of the apple, she found that it was mostly sweet and a little sour. After a brief moment, she said softly, “That’s part of my plan! I know a guy in Silvercrest. Rosemary introduced him to me. I’ll wait until Noah’s free. Then, we’ll move and put down our roots there. I’m already applying for a passport to go there.”Mia could just guess how things were between her and Mason, “I don’t think Mas

Mason’s grip on the steering tightened, but he maintained his composure when he said, “We can consider giving birth to our baby there, but I think you should slow down your career a little. After all, the early and late stages of pregnancy are kind of tough. I don’t want you to strain yourself, Zoe.”She smiled faintly in response.…It was night and Mason was working in his study while Zoe had just finished taking a bath and applying her skincare in front of the makeup table. After that, she opened the drawer and looked at the important paperwork in there.With Farley’s help, she managed to secure a permanent residency at Silvercrest. She’d put down her roots there once the passport was done and never returned to Brookesville.She had thought long and hard about it. This was her only way out since Mason wasn’t going to let her go for a good while. If she used their baby as a reason to separate from him, then he was going to feel lonely when enough time passed. After that, he’d
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 265
Gabriela was led into the guest room. Layla was moving quietly when she served her tea. She even spoke softly when she asked her to enjoy her tea. Disheartened, Gabriela thought maybe the servants were being more thoughtful and moved carefully because their mistress was pregnant. That was the last thing she had expected to happen!Didn’t they have a bad relationship? So, why did Zoe get pregnant when they weren’t even remarried for that long?The gentle drizzle continued to shower the manor outside, dampening her spirits even further.At that moment, the door to the guest room was opened. She raised her eyes immediately and met Mason’s gaze. He was just standing there, seemingly not interested in coming in. There was no longer a flirtatious look on his face, nor was there any hint of romance in his eyes. Instead, he looked more like a husband who stayed home and took care of his family!Then, he closed the door. It was probably because he didn’t want the servants to overhear
