I Refuse to Divorce! novel Chapter 79

After Mia left, Zoe stood by the window, silently observing. She saw Mia going downstairs, sitting on the roadside, sobbing uncontrollably.

Zoe had never seen Mia like this before. Even on the day the Sanders family went bankrupt, Mia maintained her composure without losing control.

Ava was behind her, unable to resist asking softly, "Mrs. Zoe, do you regret it?"

Zoe lowered her gaze. After a moment, she smiled faintly. "I don't regret it. I've never regretted it."

She had no choice. There was no room for regret.

Zoe spent half a day at the apartment. When she left in the afternoon, she only took a small suitcase.

…

In the evening, as darkness fell, the sky was painted with colorful clouds, and the twilight was exceptionally splendid. A luxurious black RV passed through the ornate black gate, circling a few times before stopping in the villa's parking lot.

Mason stood in the dusk, opening the car door for Zoe. He called her Mrs. Lockwood.

With a handsome face, he revealed a charming smile, "Daisy prepared some crabs for dinner. It looks delicious, and it pairs well with a bottle of red wine."

He was very courteous, and Zoe knew it was the novelty of men. Even though they had been a couple for three years and spent countless nights where he had thoroughly explored her body, Mason's heart was now filled with a conqueror's desires.

He had compelled her to return with his power. Any man in his position would feel triumphant, and Zoe believed that a fancy dinner was not what was truly on his mind.

She looked down and said calmly, "Mason, there's no need for all this."

"No need for what?" Mason suddenly pressed her against the car.

The driver discreetly left, leaving only the two of them in the vast courtyard. With their bodies close, she could feel his impressive contours through the thin fabric of his clothes. The soft twilight glow illuminated Zoe's face, making her exceptionally beautiful.

Mason gently held the back of her head. He approached her face, his voice barely audible. "Mrs. Lockwood, what kind of couple do you plan to be with me now that you're back? A loving wife in public, cold and indifferent in private?"

Zoe turned her face away helplessly. "Mason, you wanted me to come back, and I'm back. What more do you want?"

Mason stared at her with his dark eyes. After a while, he let her go and sneered, "What do you think, Mrs. Lockwood?"
