Zoe encouraged her little girl affectionately. Standing underneath the crystal chandelier, her long dress complimented her darling figure as well as her ample breasts. She had tied up her long, black hair, revealing her fair neck.In his mind, she had always been warm and beautiful. She may have been extremely successful with her businesses, but he could never find anything fierce about her. He lost track of time, staring at her. She unwittingly met his gaze and saw that he was staring at her profoundly. At the next moment, she turned her head away nonchalantly.…It was ten in the night by the time he left her manor.Zoe came downstairs to see him off. He wheeled himself to his black Rolls-Royce, but he didn’t get into it. He asked quietly, “Are the kids sleeping?”“Yes,” she responded.The night was quiet and they were left alone. He stared at her for a long time before he said softly, “I found the document you left behind and sent them to the lab. I read your letter too.”At that

Naturally, Zoe rejected him.Staring at the bouquet of roses in her hand, Mason asked dryly, “Is that from Saül?”As a matter of fact, she bought it for herself, but she wasn’t about to admit it to him. So, she said nonchalantly, “It’s none of your business now, Mr. Mason.”His eyes grew darker at the cold way she addressed him. He was still looking at Zoe, but he directed his orders to Luke, who was sitting in the driver’s seat. “Please invite Ms. Zoe into our car.”The poor, old chauffeur was caught in the crossfire!The way they addressed each other was cold and distant. It felt as if they could explode at any given moment. Luke didn’t enjoy being stuck in the middle of them, but he still got out of the car and talked to Zoe. “The snowfall’s getting worse, Ms. Zoe! Please get into the car. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain myself to Mr. Mason.” He looked at her warmly. He knew Zoe would pay him some respect.So, Zoe got into the car.It was spacious and dark in there. B

Mason had arranged for his father to work in Lockwood Corporation’s mailroom for the past couple of years. After all, it was important to keep himself busy even if he was settled for life. It was baffling that no one ever recognized that the middle-aged gentleman in the mailroom was the former director of the company. Of course, Westley never brought it up either. After all, he had a simple life. He visited Mason every month. However, it did nothing to deepen their bond. Cecil nodded at Westley when he walked over. Then, he called for Ava to leave the room with him. He knew they needed some space.Lisa pulled herself together the moment she saw Westley. Pointing at Mason, she yanked at her husband’s collar and cursed him. “Have you gotten a good look at your son? Look at how messed up he is. “If you hadn’t selfishly left all those years ago, this wouldn’t have happened! Why did you come back, Westley? What made you think it was okay to return?” Westley was a refined and c

The moment Zoe laid eyes on Lisa, she was thrown back to the days when she was tortured at the rehabilitation center. Tugging at her overcoat, she said coldly, “Stop begging me! Let me make something clear. I’m going to check on him because he’s the father of my children, not because of you.”That still meant she was willing to go. Lisa couldn’t help but shed a tear, “Alright! I understand.” She had lowered herself to this extent, but it did nothing to move Zoe. Later, Zoe remained quiet in the car while Lisa kept biting her tongue every time she tried to talk. In the end, she sighed and said, “I know you hate me, Zoe.”Zoe turned her face to the side and looked at the snow out the window. Her voice was soft when she said, “I’ll never forget that hellhole. So, don’t expect me to forgive you.”Lisa covered her face in response. Perhaps she was getting old or perhaps she was shaken from the possibility of losing her son again. Either way, she started reminiscing. Zoe used to gre

Lisa was downhearted to hear it. “Are you leaving so soon? You could spend the night here and leave in the morning.”“It isn’t appropriate,” Zoe said calmly.Then, she put on the shoes. “I’m here because of my kids. I didn’t come here to reminisce about the past with Mason. It isn’t exactly appropriate for me to stay here longer than I should.”She might’ve sounded cold, but it was only because she had been hurt one too many times. Westley, on the other hand, was a reasonable man. Pondering on it, he said, “Just a couple of hours, Zoe. Please. I can’t let you go back by yourself! Let me send you home, at least!”“That won’t be necessary. I’ll ask Luke to send me back.”However, Weslet was persistent. Perhaps he didn’t want to be here alone and continue to bicker with Lisa.In the end, Zoe agreed to stay back for a while.By the time she got into the car, dawn was breaking over the sky. She could even hear the crowing of a rooster from afar, signifying the coming of a new day.
