An awkward silence hung over them. Lowering her head, she looked into his eyes. Truth be told, there was no lust in them. She’d even go so far as to say he looked serious and had his good sense about him tonight. After a brief moment, she responded gently, “Yeah. I stand a good chance of getting pregnant today and tomorrow!”They did need to have another baby as soon as possible. So, there was no room for being shy here. After some thought, she added, “Take a shower first. After that, we’ll…”Mason cut her off by swooping her up and walking towards the private lounge out there. She was concerned she might fall off, so she had her arms wrapped around his neck. She might’ve worn an indifferent expression on her face, but her mind raced back to the night they were married. He had carried her in his arms to the bedroom too. However, she looked timid back then. It was a shame he didn’t treat her gently. The walk couldn’t have been more than several steps, but he experienced all so

It was two in the afternoon. Zoe drove herself and Yanni to Lockwood Corporation. Sherry was in the car too. Her little girl had insisted on bringing it along.She parked the car and took both of them to the lounge. With the puppy in her arms, Yanni started running ahead of her and raced happily into the wide lounge. Eventually, Sherry crawled on the ground too. It probably knew this was its master’s company because it scampered around with its head held high. A lady wearing a pair of high heels appeared before them and grumbled coldly, “This is a place of work! So, why’s there a kid and a puppy running around? Where are the security guards? Why isn’t anyone taking the puppy away?”It just so happened that Zoe stepped into the lobby and bumped into Eira at the same moment. Eira was dumbfounded when she saw her. Then, she turned around, stared blankly at Yanni, and asked stiffly, “Is this your kid? The one you had with Mr. Mason?”Zoe ignored her and strolled towards Yanni. Tea

Time seemed to stand still and everything in the world fell into silence. Both of them were panting rapidly, eager to take things to another level. Now, everything seemed to have frozen. The only thing that remained untouched was what Mason just said.“I'm a jerk who loves you.”Tears filled Zoe’s eyes as she regarded him with a helpless stare and spoke in a trembling voice, “We can do a lot of things together, Mason, but we can never love each other ever again! If you had truly loved me, then why would you have the heart to hurt me over and over? How could you have sacrificed me more than once?!”All the pain he put her through was seared into her mind. She could try, but she’d never be able to forget it for the rest of her life!Mia tried to probe her. Her stepmother thought she’d change her mind and return to Mason again. What she said was true, he was very different. He was very thoughtful now.However, the pain he dealt her still seemed fresh and raw even to this day. She’d

Zoe hadn’t realized that Mason was standing at the door. She picked up the violin and showed Yanni how to play it properly. Needless to say, she couldn’t play it as well as she did in the past, but she still crushed it.She finished playing an entire song and turned around. She was about to say something to her daughter when she saw Mason. He was staring at her lustfully. However, their daughter was right there. So, he kept a lid on his lust and sat on the couch. His face was slightly red from a couple of glasses of wine he drank earlier, making him look that much more appealing underneath the glow of the crystal chandelier. He had sobered up slightly when Yanni climbed on top of him and asked for his hug. He held her up, sat her on his waist, and carried Sherry over as well. Then, Yanni started counting his abs. Each of them was solid and defined.He lowered his head and looked at his little girl, but he spoke to Zoe in a tender tone, “What made you want to show her how to play

He might’ve dressed modestly, but she could never forget him. She’d remember his face to her dying breath.So much time had passed and he finally returned!They locked gazes with each other. In fact, they hadn’t even filed for divorce. So, technically, they were still a married couple. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she tried and failed to grasp the twist on the situation. As far as she was concerned, Westley was long dead. Why else wouldn’t he return to Ruby and Cecil? It had been so long. Needless to say, she had plenty of chances to ask Ruby about his whereabouts, but the thought had never crossed her mind. She had her pride, after all.Her lips started trembling. She had loved him with all of her heart. Since the split, that love had been twisted into hatred that lasted for as long as she lived. Then, she murmured, “You’re such a heartless monster!”He took a step forward.However, she fell back with a dazed look on her face. Then, she staggered and left the scene in a
