I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 9

Zoe thought it was inappropriate. “We’re in the hospital, Mason!”

“Obviously.” Mason was unfazed. He pressed against her hard and whispered into her ears menacingly, “Do you know who he is?”

Zoe could read the subtext of his question. He was the director of the Lockwood Pharmaceutical Group. As such, he was clad in both power and status.

He would never allow his wife to get too close to another man.

Zoe smiled bitterly, “My mind isn’t filthy like yours, Mason. I’m not in the mood. Listen to me. I won’t get in bed with anyone else before our divorce is finalized.”

With that, she shoved him aside and went into Gordon’s ward. Mason was at her heels. His eyes narrowed. He could not believe Gordon was not staying in a solitary ward.

Mia took a chair for him and said softly, “Have a seat! Don’t just stand there, Zoe! You can go home with Mason later. Leave your dad to me!”

Mason sat down and chatted with Gordon. He might have been cold to Zoe all this time, but he presented himself flawlessly before his father-in-law. His many years in the world of business meant it was a piece of cake for him to please someone if he set his mind to it.

Gordon had always liked him. However, he rejected the idea of changing to another hospital when Mason brought it up.

He said with a smile, “There’s no need for all the trouble! I have a good time here. Dr. Cecil is very responsible too.”

Mason knew when to stop pushing. “What matters is that you like it!”

At that moment, Zoe handed him a peeled apple. Mason put it aside, grabbed her slender arm, and said to his parents-in-law, “I’ll take Zoe back with me now. Here’s wishing you a speedy recovery, Dad.”

Gordon nodded and watched as they left. Mia was packing up when Gordon said suddenly, “Are they having fights lately?”

She shivered and tried to cover it up, “Absolutely not! They’re very good together!”

Gordon sighed, “You’re lying! Zoe didn’t look at him the way she used to. Her eyes would glint in the past, but it’s gone now.”
