Chapter 31


    When Zoe went upstairs, Mia was not home. After giving her a call, Zoe found out that Mia did not


    call Mason.


    Zoe hung up the phone, specting that the vi''s servant had lied to help her escape.


    However, she did not dwell on it. It was a rare asion that she didn''t have work tonight, so she


    took a shower and went to bed early.


    In her dreams, she recalled her newlywed life with Mason. Yet, in the dream, Mason remained as


    indifferent as ever, his words filled with impatience.


    Her phone rang, waking her up. She saw a message from Mason with only a few words.


    "Don''t forget to visit Grandma tomorrow. I''ll wait for you at the Imperial Hotel after work."


    How could Zoe forget? Thinking of Lilith''s extravagant fireworks, Zoe immediately epted the


    transfer that Mason had included as a fee for herpliance. She donated it to the local animal


    shelter.

    At 1:00 AM, Mason''s car stopped by the roadside. Leaning back, he scrolled his phone.


    He had sent Zoe a 3,000-dor transfer, which she had epted. He thought she would at least


    reply.


    She used to enjoy texting him for no specific reason. Mason never answered those messages.


    Reflecting on it, it seemed she stopped sending such messages after leaving the Sanders family.


    She also stopped lying in his bed, nestling by his neck like a puppy, asking if he would fall in love


    with her.


    It had been a long time.


    He did not notice her because he did not care about her.


    Mason thought about Zoe and their marriage for the first time in a while, as he sat in the car alone.


    …


    Early in the morning, Zoe went to the hospital.


    She brought a lot of fruit with her.


    Although Mia was delighted, she pretended to reprimand her for wasting money.


    Gordon was in good spirits as well. He leaned on the bed, saying, "You should eat something. Zoe


    is worried about you."


    Mia''s eyes reddened upon hearing that.


    After chatting for a while, she pulled Zoe aside and told her, "Yesterday, the hospital suddenly


    transferred Dr. Cecil to another city for training. They said it would take a while for him toe


    back. Zoe, was that Mason''s doing? Is there something going on between you and Dr. Cecil?"


    Zoe was stunned. She thought of Mason''s deliberate message fromst night, specting that this


    was another warning from Mason. She felt a chill in her heart.


    She finally felt Mason''s possessiveness. This possessiveness was not directed at her but more at


    the title of being his wife.


    Fearful of worrying Mia, Zoe whispered, "Mom, don''t worry. I''ll handle this."


    She grew up by Mia''s side, and Mia naturally knew her character. She did not say much and went


    back into the ward.


    Zoe stood in the corridor. She looked down at her phone, wanting to apologize to Cecil. After


    hesitating for a long time, she decided not to make the call. Perhaps not reaching out was the best


    way adults protected each other.


    Zoe stayed in the hospital all morning.


    After lunch, she nned to buy some guitar strings. A ck Range Rover suddenly stopped next to


    her as she reached the bus stop.


    The window rolled down, revealing a handsome face.


    It was Gregory.


    Seeing Zoe again, Gregory felt conflicted.


    He had not thought highly of Zoe in the past, assuming she would cling to Mason like a barnacle


    until she died. However, he had never expected her to dare to challenge Mason for a divorce.


    She even looked different now.


    She had dropped the facade of being Mrs. Lockwood and wore a casual white tee and ck pants.


    Gregory stared at her elegant and exquisitely beautiful face.


    For some reason, he impulsively said, "Where are you going? I''ll give you a ride."
