I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 59

Mason returned with congee, placing the items on a small round table. He was about to lift Zoe to eat when she, leaning against the headboard, spoke softly, "It's different."

Mason was puzzled for a moment.

After a while, he realized what she meant.

Zoe looked at him, her voice softer than before, "You're different. In the past, I loved you, so even if I didn't want to, I would endure because I wanted to make you happy."

"And now?"

In the gentle light, Mason gazed at her delicate face, speaking even more softly, "Now, you don't love me anymore, right? Zoe, I don't know when you stopped loving me, but I don't care. In this day and age, love is no longer important."

Mason was a businessman.

He didn't believe in love.

In the business world, no one discussed feelings. What men cared about the most was wealth, power, and influence. Wives, children, or even mistresses were just accessories to power.

After finishing his words, he went over to pick her up and walked toward the sofa.

Zoe's body trembled.

The hand wrapped in white gauze unconsciously curled behind her. This unconscious act showed her resistance and fear towards him.

Mason felt somewhat annoyed.

He snorted. "I'm not interested in violating a mummy."

Then, he remembered what the doctor had said.

Zoe's wounds were deep. If she didn't take good care of it, it might leave scars. If she wanted to remove them later, she would have to resort to cosmetic procedures.

His expression softened, and he gently put her down, the movement more tender this time.

"Eat. After you eat, you'll be able to run, Mrs. Lockwood."

…

A hint of mockery accompanied the last sentence, but Zoe didn't care.

She ate quietly, almost making no sound, keeping a low profile.
