I Refuse to Divorce! novel Chapter 36

Zoe trembled in his arms, sinking into the unpleasant memories of the past three years. She began to disassociate from her body.

Just as Mason was about to claim her, his phone kept ringing. Annoyed, he grabbed the phone and glanced at it. It was Ava calling.

After some consideration, Mason answered the call in an unpleasant tone. "What's so important that you're calling so late?"

On the other end, Ava sounded anxious. She said, "Mr. Mason, Lilith is here in Brookesville."

Mason frowned slightly.

After glancing at Zoe, he got up and walked outside to take the call. Even though Zoe heard only a fragment of Ava's words, she understood.

Lilith was back in Brookesville.

Mason had finally allowed his lover to step into their home. This was a great humiliation for Zoe, who was only Mrs. Lockwood by name.

After a few minutes, Mason returned with a slightly tense expression.

Returning to Brookesville with much ceremony, Lilith had been surrounded by reporters at the airport.

Unfortunately, she fell and broke her leg again. Lilith's parents announced that the Wright family had ties with the Sanders Group.

This was undoubtedly a huge scandal.

Mason had to deal with it in person and, incidentally, handle Lilith.

While he was getting dressed, he looked at Zoe, who was lying weakly on the bed. He said nonchalantly, "I have some urgent matters to attend to. You go ahead and rest. I'll send you back in the morning."

Zoe turned her back to him, not saying a word.

As Mason grabbed his coat, he glanced at her again.

Then, he hastily left. After a moment, the sound of a car starting echoed in the yard. Zoe knew he would not be coming back tonight.

She could not help but recall the past. Every time Mason went to Hucksburgh to visit Lilith, she felt uncomfortable, even losing sleep throughout the night.

Now, Zoe found that she no longer cared. She did not care about his indifference, bad behavior, or anything he did to her. Not loving Mason actually made things much easier.

Remembering his warning last time, Ava pursed her lips and stepped back.

Lilith, skilled at reading people's eyes, trembled her lips and appeared tearful.

"Ava, you misunderstood me. I never thought of dating Mr. Mason. I know Mr. Mason is married. He has been nice to me... It was only because I accidentally awakened him. Really, I just want to cure my leg, and I want to learn from Ms. Aurora.

"I don't dare ask for more. Ava, you won't stop me, right?"

Ava was almost enraged. Now, she finally realized Lilith's cunning nature. Her innocent words had underlying jabs.

She looked at Mason, wanting to know his opinion.

Mason was not in a good mood and had a displeased expression. The Wright family had caused such a big mess, so naturally, he would not be feeling particularly generous.

He looked at Lilith's seemingly innocent face, his tone indifferent.

"Until these two matters are resolved, tell your parents to watch their mouths. They need to know what to say and what not to say. Understand?"
