I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 94

In the elevator, there was a lingering silence between them.

Eventually, Mason broke the silence. "Why did you get the medicine yourself? The contraceptive pills developed by the Lockwood Corporation—"

Zoe chuckled. "What's the difference? They're all contraceptive pills."

She looked at him, casually asking, "Why did you follow me? Don't you need to accompany your lover? Lilith seems to be in desperate need of your company."

Mason's eyes were deep. He stared at her face, trying to interpret her expression.

After a while, he shifted his gaze away, adjusting his tie and the position of the tie pin in front of the mirror. His eyes met hers in the reflection, and he casually asked, "What about you, Mrs. Lockwood? Don't you need my company?"

Zoe did not avoid his gaze. She looked into his eyes, her tone calm. "Having the title of Mrs. Lockwood is enough for me."

Clearly, this statement irritated Mason.

Mason stared at her for a long while, his voice cold. "Well, I should thank you for your generosity, then."

They parted ways, not amicably.

As Mason took the elevator back, he could not resist ripping off the tie pin and the tie that had delighted him for half a day in front of the mirror. In the process, the tie pin accidentally pricked his hand. This only worsened his mood.

Observing his darkened expression, Ava guessed that something had upset him during his encounter with Zoe. She wisely refrained from provoking him.

Lilith, surprisingly, was quite perceptive. Only Carly, in her misguided cleverness, assumed that Mason must have come back because he was more concerned about Lilith.

Carly brazenly said, "Mr. Mason, although you and Lilith don't have the formal title of husband and wife, there are many things we—"

"Mom!" Lilith's face turned red.

She knew very well that Mason did not have that kind of affection for her. His expression toward her was always lukewarm. When he looked at Zoe, it was always with desire.

Lilith was on the verge of tears.

Carly dared not say more. She cautiously analyzed Mason's expression.

Since Mason was currently upset, he disdainfully told Ava, "Reduce the fund allocation for the Wright family from now on."
