I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 30

Zoe came to her senses and realized they were at the crossroads. They stopped in front of a traffic light. Pulling her hand away from Mason’s, she turned her face to the window and said coldly, “It was nothing!”

He looked at her dejected face and felt a little disheartened. Images of the past coursed through his mind. He had married Zoe when she was just a twenty-year-old girl. She loved him deeply back then.

She would rush downstairs and take his briefcase from him when he came back home from work. She would try to please him, tell him about what was on for dinner, and prepare the bathtub for him.

He had always made a point to hurt her when they had sex. Slowly but surely, Zoe began to smile less frequently. She also stopped acting cute around him.

It seemed that she had finally accepted the fact that he did not love her. None of her efforts meant anything to him. All she ever got in return was his cold shoulder.

She was still thoughtful, but she was merely doing her duty as a wife. She was just going through the motions.

It was like she said when she was drunk. In fact, she had stopped loving him a long time ago.

Thinking about these memories renewed his anger again. He turned his eyes to the road and refused to talk to her again. The traffic light turned green and the black Bentley edged forward.

Placing her hand on the window, Zoe gawked at the upscale French restaurant by the roadside. It was out of business. She had just performed here when it first opened a few days ago. Then, she met both Cecil and Mason… With that, she turned her head slowly and stared at him.

That was why he insisted on sending her home.

She said softly, “Is this what you want me to see, Mason?” He focused on driving and ignored her. The car did not stop until they had reached her place.

Mason turned and looked at her. “Do you know who owned that restaurant?”
