I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 34

Lockwood Manor was brightly lit, with servants bustling around, serving various dishes on a large dining table.

Barbara personally hovered over everyone, worried that her grandson would not be in good spirits tonight. She even had the kitchen make stew and health tonics.

Barbara presented it attentively to Zoe.

Barbara chuckled. "I've looked at the charts. I'm sure you'll get pregnant tonight."

Even after three years of marriage, Zoe blushed at such intimate talk, especially with several servants standing in the hall.

Mason cast a glance at her.

Unabashed, he sweet-talked Barbara, "I'll have to put in some effort later to make sure we have a grandchild for you soon, Grandma."

Barbara could not stop smiling, as if the chubby great-grandchild were already waving at her. She then served her grandson a bowl of soup, saying, "This soup has been simmering for hours. Drink it while it's hot. It'll boost your stamina."

Mason's expression remained unchanged.

Zoe thought he was an expert at pretending and fooling people. Every time they had marital relations in the past three years, he reminded her to take contraception. He clearly did not want children, but in front of Barbara, he pretended to cooperate.

Sensing her gaze, Mason looked at her and wiped his lips with a napkin, saying, "Grandma, it's getting late. Zoe and I will go upstairs now."

Barbara urged him, "Go ahead, go ahead!"

After that, she went to burn incense, complaining about Mason's mother for not caring about continuing the Lockwood family line. She knew her son and daughter-in-law had returned, yet she went to sleep early.

It was unbelievable.

…

Mason took Zoe's hand and led her upstairs.

In the master bedroom, Zoe struggled to free her hand, her tone indifferent.
