Mason sat in his wheelchair and watched as they left. All of a sudden, his mind traveled back to the moment in time when Zoe used to ask for one hundred thousand dollars from him timidly. Back then, he used to think she couldn’t stand on her own feet and had to rely on him for everything. Now, however, she was like a rose, beautiful but sharp. The evening light cast an orange, fiery glow across the entire sky, as if heaven itself was on fire. The silver Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled out of the manor slowly. Mason started feeling hollow inside. In the end, she still left him alone.The brief meet-up today did nothing but make him more eager to see them again.…Twenty minutes later, Zoe pulled into a manor. Back when she planned to move back to Brookesville, she decided to buy a manor for herself and her family, which had grown bigger. There was also Deborah to consider. She felt that it would be better if they lived in a much more spacious place.More to the point, the manor was

Scarlett was disheartened when she saw how much Mason wanted it to happen. She had stayed at the manor for a long time, spending every single day with him. However, he had never shown any intention of remarrying Zoe. In fact, he hadn’t even visited his kids in Silvercrest.Now, it seemed, Zoe’s return had changed everything!He would stare off into space or dwell in fear of losing her all the time. Zoe had singlehandedly turned him into the mess he was now. Scarlett had sharp instincts too. She could tell that Zoe still had feelings for Mason. All she had to do was stare into her eyes. Why?! Why did it have to be like this?!They had been divorced for years. Why did Zoe have to return and shake his conviction?For that, she seriously disliked Zoe. With that said, she had to give in to her for the time being. “That’s right. Ms. Zoe’s going to the hospital as well.”She had no interest in seeing the joy in his face, so she closed the door swiftly. He was still staring out

Her words were filled with irony. Liam was usually a calm man, but even he was stung by what she said. He wasn’t supposed to say it, but the words came out before he could stop them. “You know I love you, Zoe!”Time itself seemingly froze and an awkward silence hung over the air. For a few seconds there, he regretted blurting it out. However, he was both a lawyer and a practical man. Now that the cat was out of the bag, he figured he should stand by it.Staring at Zoe, he asked, “Are you still waiting for Mason? Why won’t you give me a chance?”Her voice was icy cold when she replied, “I’ll never fall in love with you! I’ll always remember how you plotted our family’s downfall! Here you are, asking me to be with you. Have you got a screw loose, Liam?”…Reaching out, Liam clutched her hand.She was startled and tried to shake him off, but he forcibly pulled her close. She got so close that their bodies were almost pressed against each other. The way he stared at her made her

Truth be told, it bothered him a lot.It was only normal for every man to not want to share the lady he loved, much less someone like Mason.…Zoe watched as he left and lowered her head. There was something else bothering her. Otherwise, she could’ve gotten laid with him. His lust was strong, to begin with. Top that off with the fact that he had been abstaining from sex for years, it would’ve been like taking candy from a baby. It was just that she wasn’t at the top of her game tonight. Liam’s words haunted her. She was still wondering if Noah really did marry Gwynn. There were so many things that had suddenly piled up on her and made her feel encumbered. Still, she continued to wait for Mason to come back. In the end, Deborah ran downstairs and said, looking worried, “Yanni’s having a case of rubella, Ms. Zoe. She’s mumbling in her sleep! Mr. Mason asked for you to go up there right now.”“When did this happen?” Zoe asked as she took brisk steps towards the manor.Th

Zoe might have been ready to forgive him, but he could never let himself off the hook.…It was still the middle of the night when Mason went to the ground floor. Scarlett was still sitting there. She knew she was in deep trouble because of the horrible blunder she made. So, she grumbled the moment she saw him, “Ms. Zoe has overstepped her bounds, Mr. Mason. It’s wrong to let her handle the manor’s affairs, to begin with.”His voice was cold as he cast a glance at her. “Who has the right to do it, then?” Even though he had used Scarlett to chase Zoe away, he had honestly never done anything out of line with his private doctor, nor did he lead her on.Scarlett was stunned by his response.He then said bluntly, “I’ll see to it that your medical license will be revoked. You’ll never be a doctor again.“Also, I want you out of Brookesville! You have two days to do it. I’m very serious. My men will pack up your stuff and send you to one of the northwestern cities. They’ll keep a
