I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 107

The servant knocked on the door and said, “Dinner is served, Mr. Mason. Will you be having dinner now?”

“Sure! We’ll have dinner now.”

The servant went downstairs. Her footsteps trailed off, but he still kept Zoe pinned down. She couldn’t help but squirm a little.

“Aren’t we going to have dinner now? Help me up.”

In response, he stared back at her wordlessly. She couldn’t fathom what was on his mind. She tried pushing him away, but he grabbed her arm and put it back on his chest. His heartbeat was strong and throbbed rhythmically.

She pulled back her hand abruptly, as if she had just touched fire.

He pinched her chin gently and chuckled, “Did that scare you as well? What's on your mind, Zoe?”

She couldn’t cope with this new side of Mason. Truth be told, she was missing his ruthless ways a little. He might hurt her, but she could brave through the pain. Now, however, she wasn’t sure what to make of him.

Turning her back at him, she straightened out her dress. Then, she rose and walked to the door.

“I’ll take your suitcases to the bedroom. Tidy yourself up and come down for dinner, Mason.”

However, she didn’t hear anything from behind her.

Holding the doorknob, she couldn’t help but turn around and check on him. Mason was leaning on the couch, looking right back at her. He chuckled and asked, “Are you embarrassed, Zoe?”

Pursing her lips, she responded softly, “We’ve been married for so long. What do you think?”

He left it at that and lit up a cigarette after she left. A wisp of smoke rose and clouded his unreadable expression. He had honed his observation skills in the business world and was extremely perceptive. Of course, he could tell she wasn’t being entirely honest with him.

Smart guys know that ladies dig it when guys are gentle with them. They simply couldn’t resist it.
