I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 28

Zoe might have fought with him and wanted a divorce, but she would not do it at the cost of her health. What’s more, she was really hungry. The barley porridge was tasty and easy to swallow. She felt much better after eating a bowl of it.

Mason leaned against the wall in front of the window. The dim light from the sky shone on his face, highlighting his handsome features. His neatly trimmed hair and sophisticated attire brought out his elegant charisma.

He lit a cigarette but did not smoke it. Sticking his arm out the window, the evening wind scattered the wisp of smoke. There was a faint smell of tobacco in the bedroom that blended perfectly with his aura.

He put out the cigarette when she had finished eating the porridge and looked at her, “Grandma called. She wanted to see you. What say you?”

Barbara had always been nice to Zoe. She did not have the heart to break her spirit by telling her about their divorce. However, Barbara would find out about it eventually. It was just a matter of time.

After contemplating the matter for a while, she said, “You should explain everything to her, Mason.”

“What do you mean?” He stared at her intensely. “Am I supposed to tell her you’re not coming because we’re divorced? In a hurry, are we? What’s the matter? Are you worried that we’ll keep you from pursuing your happiness?”

Zoe had no intention of explaining herself to him. She rose, intending to get changed and leave the place. However, he stood in her way.

Pinching her slender arm, he said mockingly, “Consider it me buying your service. Twenty thousand dollars. How’s that sound?”

Try as she might, she could not shake him off. Mason swiped her phone, unlocked it, and removed his contact number from the blacklist. Then, he transferred twenty thousand dollars to her.

He said sarcastically, “You earn a measly two thousand dollars per night, working for Leslie.”
