I Refuse to Divorce! novel Chapter 144

His gaze darkened after saying that.

He wanted to start anew with Zoe, not just as a form of compensation, but because he wanted to be with her. As he had mentioned, they also had enjoyable moments, and this kind of happiness was something he hadn't experienced with anyone else.

However, Zoe wasn't interested in continuing the conversation. She lazily brushed him aside, saying, "Aren't you supposed to meet Lilith? Why haven't you gone downstairs yet?"

Mason sensed indifference in her tone.

This feeling wasn't pleasant.

Zoe didn't care about him anymore, not even a bit when Lilith came over. She was emotionless, as if she were saying he didn't deserve any of her attention.

…

Lilith's condition delicate. She pressured the nurse to bring her here, even keeping it a secret from her mother. She waited for a long time in the small living room, and she could even hear faint movements upstairs.

There was only Mason and Zoe on the second floor, and those sounds could only come from them.

Lilith's face turned pale.

She couldn't help but wonder if Mason was engaging in intimate activity with his wife at this time.

Just as she was thinking about it, the hall door was pushed open, and Mason walked in. Lilith noticed with sharp eyes that there was a smudge of lipstick on the collar of Mason's snowy white shirt.

Her face became even paler, and she could barely sit still.

She looked at Mason, emitting a mournful plea, "Mr. Mason, I beg you. I don't want to go abroad. I want to stay in Brookesville. If Mrs. Zoe can't tolerate me, I can apologize and explain things to her. I never had the intention of replacing her."

In Lilith's perception, Mason needed her. The days she spent accompanying him, sometimes finding him tired on the sofa and covering him with a blanket, smoothing out the wrinkles on his face. During those times, she felt like Mason's wife. Their relationship was filled with a sense of tragedy.
