I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 77

Mason wanted to slide the wedding ring onto Zoe's finger. She curled her finger inward slightly, resisting the act.

He stared at her until she finally flattened her hand, allowing him to place the ring on her finger.

The diamond ring sparkled on her delicate finger.

Mason's voice was slightly hoarse. "Mrs. Lockwood, welcome back."

Zoe trembled slightly. She had finally returned to him, ultimately selling herself to Mason.

However, from now on, she was not just Mason's wife. She was now Mrs. Lockwood.

…

Mason did not stay overnight.

The next day, he did not show up in person. Instead, he sent Liam directly to the hospital to meet Zoe. Liam brought two sets of documents.

One document was an agreement for the transfer of Lockwood Corporation's shares, and the other was related to Noah's case.

Zoe met him in the hospital's small reception room. Liam was more intimidating in person than on TV.

He glanced at Zoe and smiled faintly. "Mrs. Zoe, you seem more delicate than I imagined."

Without waiting for Zoe's reaction, he began the procedure. "Mrs. Zoe, let's first sign this transfer agreement. As soon as you sign it, you will immediately own 2% of Lockwood Corporation."

With a touch of sarcasm, he added, "In high society, many wealthy women spend their entire lives without touching half of their husband's wealth. Mrs. Zoe, you have a very successful marriage."

Zoe replied self-deprecatingly, " I should be grateful to Mason."

Liam politely smiled. Pointing to the signature line, he instructed her to sign.

Zoe raised her hand to sign. Perhaps due to the loose hospital gown, the faint scars on her arm caught Liam's eyes as she raised her hand. Those marks were unmistakable. Anyone could guess what had happened.

Zoe had committed self-harm.

Suddenly, Liam thought about lighting a cigarette. However, as he reached for the cigarette box, he remembered they were in a hospital.

In the time that he had considered that, Zoe had already finished signing the document.

After Liam confirmed everything, he handed another document folder to Zoe. He asked her to review it while he stepped out to smoke two cigarettes.

While smoking, all he could think about was the scars on Zoe's arm. It had been a shocking sight.

Finally, Liam understood the situation.

Zoe was not as affectionate toward her generous husband as one might think. In the upper echelons of society, marriages lacked true love.

In the hospital room, Zoe eagerly examined the documents. Liam was professional, impressively so. The materials he provided would significantly boost their chances in the legal battle. As Zoe flipped through the pages, her eyes welled up.

At the doorway, Liam stood quietly.

He softly said, "Mason gave me three million for this case. Mrs. Zoe, rest assured, we will win this."

Zoe looked up. In her eyes, Liam saw a hint of tears.

…

After Zoe saw Liam off, she walked around the hospital's small garden. Feeling the cool breeze of autumn, she realized she had not been outside for a week.

Outside, the maple leaves had turned red. She stared at them in a daze, and a familiar voice came from behind.
