Chapter 124
‘I''m leaving now!” Mason cut her off. He probably thought he was too harsh. So, he added, “I''ll spend some time with you when I''m done.”
She smiled and went away to prepare his attireContent ? N?velDrama.Org.
The lights came on in the fitting room. She proceeded to pick out attire for him as well as a tie and a watch. It was the definition of chic. Lilith was
going to regard him with admiration when she saw himter.
All of a sudden, someone hugged her from behind. Mason wrapped his arms around her waist tightly and buried his face in the back of her neck. His
voice was a little husky.
“Are you mad?
He fondled her a little as he spoke. After all, he was due for some sex.
She caught the faint odor of disinfectant and felt repulsed, but she spoke softly nheless
“Don''t you have an important meetingter? It won''t do if you''rete. Your employees are going to start talking.”
He responded warmly, “Why are you so considerate?”
She was dazed for a second. Her mind traveled back to the lovely days they had a few days ago. She wasn''t made of stone. Of course, she was fond
of it!
Then, she came back to her senses, lowered her gaze, and smiled faintly. “You''re forgetting something. I own a two percent share of thepany.
So, you can pour as much time as you want into your work while I sit back and rx.”
He chuckled and went away to take a bath before changing into the outfit she picked for him. Zoe was trying on essories in front of the makeup
table when he came out.
She was wearing a dark green dress that gave her an air of intellectuality and elegance. She wore a pair of earrings and a watch to go along with it.
She looked spectacr.
He was in a hurry, but he couldn’t help but to stop to kiss her ear. He whispered to her lovingly, “I''m going to spend the night here tonight.”
Was Lilith aware that Mason still had sex with her? Was he sure that Lilith wouldn''t throw a fit if she found out about it?
Zoe would love to ask him these questions if she could, but she chase to just smile and nod
Mason went downstairs and got into the car. Raising his head, he looked back at his manor withplicated feelings.
He felt that hastirred Zoe''s heart a
while ago, buthe could also sense
that she had withdrawn into her owa
shell again now. She wouldn''t ask~
about shat he did when he wasit''t
wither, and she hadn''t asked:
anything about Lilith. She was just
ying her role as his dutiful wife.
Just like the old days.
Lighting up a cigar, he wondered as the wisp of grey smoke rose. Wasn''t this what he wanted? Why did it feel awful to see that they were actually
growing apart?
At that moment, his phone rang. It was Lilith. She spoke very carefully when he answered the phone.
‘I''m ready, Mason. What time are youing over to pick me up?"
He gazed at the second floor briefly before responding.
“Pll be there in half an hour.”
The ck Bentley pulled out of the manor and drove off into the distance under the evening light.
Thest thing he had expected was to bump into Zoe at Aiden''s private party. Dressed in the dark, green dress, she looked marvelous.
On the other hand, Zoe wasn''t
Surprised to.see him at all. She
Stared at-himn and noticed he was ~
slightly Angry. He was dressed inthe
eleganfattire she had handpicked
for hiv that very evening. Pushing
Lilith’s wheelchair, both of them
l68ked like a sweet couple:
It was the exact same scene she saw on the television at the hospital that day.
The truth was,gothing had changed
since then. They merely took the
scenic route; but they ultimately >
came back to where they startedcit
was aG6od thing that she hade’t?
completely fallen for his trick>-
Otherwise, she would''ve felt
absolutely devastated by. now!
Mason was the first one to speak while their gazes locked with each other.
“Are you stalking me?”
She lowered her gaze and chuckled. Taking out the invitation from her purse, she raised it and spoke in a gentle, loving voice.
‘I told you I wanted to introduce someone important to you tonight. That person is none other than Aiden.”
