I Refuse to Divorce! novel Chapter 75

Zoe hadn't responded, but she found herself already pulled onto his lap. As she settled, Mason let out a muted groan, likely aggravated the ligament in his injured thigh.

Zoe whispered, "Should I get off?"

Her slender waist was embraced, bringing them close. Mason exuded a purely masculine aura, a tempting warmth that was both near and distant.

He lowered his gaze to her posture. She was clad in loose hospital attire, sitting on the man's lap with her fair legs resting on the dark fabric of his trousers,. Itemitted an indescribable sense of taboo, as if she were entwined with a man.

Mason's voice grew huskier. "Just stay on my lap while you apply the ointment."

Zoe didn't resist further. She took the medicine box he handed her and silently began applying the ointment. The soft lighting surrounded them as Mason, positioned higher, observed her expression.

With lowered brows and willing to sit on his lap, he believed he understood her choice.

She sacrificed herself to help her brother.

Suddenly, he felt a bit peculiar.

Whenever Mason felt peculiar, he tended to toy with people. As his thoughts emerged, his hand had already slipped under her loose hospital attire. Impatiently, he seemed rough in his actions.

Zoe was still applying the ointment. Her hand trembled, and she fell into his embrace.

Mason pushed the medicine box aside. With one hand gripping her waist, he used the other to tease her, his actions somewhat rough. Zoe, caught off guard, lightly bit his shoulder.

However, she remained submissive from start to finish, not resisting him.

Mason knew it clearly. She wasn't doing this out of desire. It was all to be a compliant Mrs. Lockwood, sacrificing herself for the sake of her brother.

He pressed against her cheek, his voice vibrating with a trace of restrained desire, "Does your obedience mean you've made a choice and are willing to be Mrs. Lockwood again?"

Zoe remained silent for a long time.
