I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 118

Needless to say, Zoe was displeased about it. They had just finished having sex and he left immediately, claiming that he had to deal with some emergency at work. It took him the entire night, apparently.

What kind of work emergency would take him the whole night?

She wasn’t willing to ponder too much on it, but she had a good idea where he went. Surely, it had something to do with other women. She was ironing his shirt when her mind traveled back to the moment he told her that he wouldn’t meet up with Lilith anymore.

…

A series of footsteps disrupted her thoughts.

It was probably Mason!

He looked a little drained after dealing with the matter for the entire night. She felt him hugging her from behind and smelled the faint scent of disinfectant. It was the kind that was unique to the hospital.

She could feel his warmth through his shirt, but she felt as thought someone had stabbed her right in the heart.

He went to the hospital to check on Lilith.

What was sad was the fact that it had been less than a week since he confessed to her. Be that as it may, she didn’t press him for information. That’d be too pathetic.

Lowering her gaze, she said softly, “Ava called early in the morning. She mentioned you have an important meeting this morning and she wanted to remind you to be there on time.”

He was touching her slender waist, but he stopped abruptly and said, “Why did she call you?”

Smiling lightly, she responded, “Wasn’t she working with you last night? Perhaps you turned off your phone, then!”

Checking his phone, he found that he had switched it off. Turning it back on, he realized there were four missed calls from Ava. There were none from Zoe, though. He couldn’t believe she didn’t even call him once when he had gone away for the whole night.

Smiling faintly, he said, “Do you have that much faith in me?”

She laid out his ironed shirt, looked at him, and said, “Didn’t you say you want to become a faithful, loyal husband? I believe in you, Mason!”
