I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 24

Zoe was half-drunk. Mason took her to the parking lot and opened the door of his car with one hand. He signaled for her to get in, but she refused. She was drunk, but she had not completely lost her senses.

Leaning against the door, she raised her head and said in a husky, slurring voice, “I’m not going home with you, Mason! We’re getting a divorce!”

He towered over her and glared at her with unmoving eyes. She was bewitching when she was drunk. He had never seen her like this.

A champagne silk blouse and trumpet skirt were supposed to be elegant outfits, but they ended up bringing out her feminine charm.

Every curve on her body seemed to be inviting men to caress and own her. Mason leaned into her ear and gritted his teeth, “Look at yourself. What part of you resembles a decent lady now?”

Zoe raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes seemed to have cleared up a little, but became muddled again soon. Giving up on talking sense into her, Mason roughly shoved her into the car.

She made a fuss about wanting to get out of the car. Leaning on her seat, she muttered stuff that was hard for him to hear. It was quite upsetting for him.

He locked the car and was about to buckle her up when he saw in his peripheral vision the car across his path, with a man sitting inside it.

It was Cecil. Both of their cars had their lights on. Both men sat in their cars, sizing each other up. Cecil’s eyes were dark as night, and so was Mason’s.

Much time had passed and Mason buckled her up. She was slipping in and out of consciousness on account of being drunk. Shifting uncomfortably, she mumbled, “I’m not going home with you.”

Mason touched her cheek gently and said in a husky voice, “Who else would you rather go home with?” With that, he stopped caring about what she said.

Sitting upright, he looked at Cecil with a blank face and drove Zoe away under his gaze. Cecil’s hands tightened their grip on the steering wheel as both of their cars whizzed past each other. Mason, on the other hand, sneered.
