I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 35
His tone was mocking. "Zoe, you've become quite assertive now."After saying that, he let go of her and went to take a cold shower. Ten minutes later, Mason emerged from the bathroom. He looked at Zoe, who had spread a thin blanket on the sofa, clearly intending to sleep there for the night.Annoyance welled up inside him. The suppressed anger surged up again. Without thinking, he lifted Zoe and threw her onto the soft bed, pressing down on her.Zoe buried her face in the pillow. Mason had no intention of touching her, as he was still upset. However, just when he was about to let her go, Zoe's phone rang with a text notification.Mason raised an eyebrow. "Who's messaging you at this time?"Still sore from being held down, Zoe replied with a hint of irritation, "It's none of your business."Mason sneered.He pressed down on her delicate shoulders and reached for her phone on the bedside table. Using her fingerprint, he unlocked it. Zoe felt embarrassed. "Mason, you have n

Zoe trembled in his arms, sinking into the unpleasant memories of the past three years. She began to disassociate from her body. Just as Mason was about to claim her, his phone kept ringing. Annoyed, he grabbed the phone and glanced at it. It was Ava calling. After some consideration, Mason answered the call in an unpleasant tone. "What's so important that you're calling so late?"On the other end, Ava sounded anxious. She said, "Mr. Mason, Lilith is here in Brookesville."Mason frowned slightly. After glancing at Zoe, he got up and walked outside to take the call. Even though Zoe heard only a fragment of Ava's words, she understood.Lilith was back in Brookesville.Mason had finally allowed his lover to step into their home. This was a great humiliation for Zoe, who was only Mrs. Lockwood by name.After a few minutes, Mason returned with a slightly tense expression. Returning to Brookesville with much ceremony, Lilith had been surrounded by reporters at the airport. Unf

Lilith's hands clenched tight. However, on the surface, she still wore a seemingly obedient look. "I understand, Mr. Mason."Mason got up and left. Lilith's parents appeared outside the door, wanting to initiate conversation when they saw Mason. However, Mason had already entered the elevator before their mouths could open. Ava gave them a stern look and followed him in.Only Mason and Ava were in the elevator, and the red numbers on the screen continued to descend. Suddenly, Mason asked, "Why was Lilith sent to Samphia Hospital? I remember Zoe's father is being treated in this hospital."Ava's heart skipped a beat. Immediately, she explained, "Mr. Mason, this really wasn't my idea. When I arrived at the airport, the ambulance had already taken Lilith to this hospital. Mr. Mason, will you come to visit Lilith after her surgery tomorrow?"As the elevator doors opened, Mason walked out, saying, "I'm not her doctor."Ava followed him. Mason got into his car, a black Bentley,

In the parking lot of the Lockwood Group, Mason turned off the engine. Sitting in the car, he pondered for a moment and decided to call Zoe.Zoe refused to answer.Mason did not persist in making more calls. He leaned back on the leather seat and quietly lit a cigarette, contemplating whether Zoe was upset because of his rough treatment last night or because he left abruptly in the middle of the night. Zoe must have heard Ava’s words on the phone.With one hand gripping his phone, he wondered if he should comfort her or perhaps try to placate her. However, this thought lingered briefly before he brushed it off. Such lovey-dovey actions were not suitable for him and Zoe. He never loved Zoe in the past, not now, and not in the future.As he put away his phone, Ava approached and opened the car door for him. Having not slept all night, Ava was still full of energy. She had always been a hard worker, a trait that Mason admired, so he kept her around even after she crossed some boun

His words carried a hint of provocation.Mason smirked, gesturing for the caddy to place the ball. Then, with a slight tilt, he swung the club.Watching the ball's landing spot, he walked in that direction, speaking leisurely, "Since when have you understood me so well? Yes, one has to keep a close eye on the wife at home to prevent unwanted attention. What do you think, Gregory?"Gregory's expression was not pleasant. After a moment, he sneered. "But sometimes, no matter how closely you watch, it still won't work. There's a saying. Love is like sand. The more you want to grasp it, the faster it slips away."Under the sunset, the lush green grass stretched out. Mason, dressed in a white casual outfit, looked smart and energetic. He lowered his head and swung the golf club.With two strokes, the ball was in the hole.Mason showed no interest in playing further. Handing the club to the caddy, he took a towel to wipe his hands, smiling at Gregory. "Gregory, I've never failed to

Zoe received the transfer from Mason while having coffee with Ella. Ella had received some news about Liam and wanted to discuss it with Zoe.Ella shared the information she gathered, saying, "Liam is in some primitive tribe in Yarifa, providing legal aid. The assistant mentioned he might not be back for another one or two years. I told you, Zoe, these successful lawyers, once they hit the big time, they seem to get disillusioned with the urban life and money. It's all about the hustle and bustle of the big city, isn't it?"After finishing, Ella took a big sip of her coffee, making a face.She could not stand this pretentious stuff.Zoe lowered her head, stirring her coffee lightly.Worried that Zoe could not handle the news, Ella consoled her softly, "Let's keep looking into it. I refuse to believe that no one else can handle it besides him."Zoe nodded, about to say something, when she received a 30 thousand-dollar transfer notification.She was slightly taken aback.Seeing h

Mason smirked mockingly. "You have quite the appetite. Aren't you worried that you're being too greedy?"Zoe gave a cold laugh. "It's up to me to decide whether I'm being greedy or not. 300 thousand and not a penny less. Then, I'll get this job done, Mr. Mason." Mason narrowed his eyes. "What if we don't secure the project?"Zoe's smile faded. "That's not my problem. It just means you're not capable enough."No one had ever challenged him so blatantly before. Mason found it arousing. He leaned in, whispering near Zoe's ear, "It seems I have to secure this project now. Otherwise, my dear Mrs. Lockwood might think I'm incapable."His masculine scent enveloped Zoe's senses as he approached her, causing a flutter. Zoe pushed him away. "Are we discussing business or are you trying to have your way with me again?"She still felt disgusted by the incident from the other night. A disloyal husband always brought unpleasant images of his intimate encounters with other women to mind. J

Gregory was not surprised at all to see Zoe. He looked down on her from above, assessing her, especially her gorgeous outfit. After a few seconds, he descended the stairs gracefully and approached Zoe, casually remarking, "The dress looks good, but the one you wore at the hospital suits you better."Zoe had matured, and Gregory had noticed the inexplicable comments and his daily visits to the Imperial Hotel. Even though she was generally somewhat clueless, she could not ignore the signs. However, she had to pretend to be oblivious. After all, Gregory was not someone she could afford to offend.Rosemary could not sense anything unusual and happily introduced them, "Zoe, this is our distant cousin, a friend of Terrence's since childhood. He often comes over to hang out."Zoe smiled lightly. "We've met."Rosemary patted her shoulder. "I almost forgot, Gregory and Mason have been childhood friends. You two catch up. I'll go get some crystal glasses. The servants are always forgetfu
