No Sex for Six Years Because of Her? I'm Done novel Chapter 234

Zach was wearing his reading glasses and reading a newspaper. When he saw them return, he quickly set it aside and stood up. “Oh, you’re back already?” he said warmly. “Kaia, make a couple more dishes tonight. It’s rare for Mason and Ms. Harlow to stay for dinner.”

Amelia changed out of her soaked shoes.

She felt bad about staying for free. When she saw Kaia heading into the kitchen, she said, “Ms. Preston, let me help you.”

She had only taken one step when a warm hand gently caught her wrist.

“Sit down and don’t move.”

Mason took off his wet jacket and draped it over the chair. He casually unbuttoned his shirt cuffs, revealing his strong forearms.

He turned to Kaia and said, “I’ll help.”

Then he followed her into the kitchen.

Amelia froze where she stood.

“Heh, sit down, girl,” Zach said, pulling her attention back.

Not long after, Zach walked over with a steaming cup of warm water. He sat down across from her and handed it to her.

“Drink this. It’ll warm you up.”

“Thank you,” Amelia said as she took the cup. The warmth eased the chill in her body.

Zach smiled at her, then suddenly went straight to the point.

“Girl, are you Mason’s girlfriend?”

“Cough, cough.” Amelia choked on her water, her face turning red as she coughed hard.

When she finally caught her breath, she shook her head quickly. She wasn’t sure if the heat on her face came from the cough or embarrassment. “No, we’re not that kind of relationship.”

“Oh.” Zach nodded thoughtfully, then blinked with a sly look. “I see. Not yet, right?”

Yes.

Her divorce wasn’t final. On paper, she was still Ethan’s wife.

No matter what was quietly happening between her and Mason, they couldn’t be anything.

Zach wasn’t wrong.

Thinking of that made her face burn even more. She lowered her head and took small sips of the tea, not

Zach looked pleased with himself. He stroked his beard and spoke as if remembering something. “You know, I once thought about introducing Mason to Kaia.”

Amelia looked up in surprise. “Ms. Preston?”

“Yes,” Zach sighed with regret. “Mason is top–notch in character, looks, and ability. But sadly, the two of them had no fate together.

“My silly granddaughter already has someone she’s liked for a long time. She hasn’t been able to let go for years. And I can tell Mason also has someone in his heart. So I never tried to play matchmaker again.”

Amelia immediately thought of Phoebe.

A sharp bitterness rose in her chest.

She lowered her eyes and spoke softly, almost like a sigh.

“That person is not me.

“The one he likes is someone else.”

But the moment she finished speaking, Zach’s firm voice sounded beside her.

“Impossible.” He shook his head without hesitation.

Amelia looked up at him in shock.

How could that be impossible?

Was he just saying nice things to comfort her?

Her reason instantly supplied the most logical explanation for that unexpected answer.

Yet deep down, a faint voice quietly took root, giving rise to a sliver of hope she did not even dare admit to herself.

Zach seemed to see through her inner struggle. His eyes carried the clarity that only time could give.

“Easy there, girl. Don’t rush to argue with me.” He leaned back into the couch, then continued at an unhurried pace. “I wouldn’t say I know Mason well, but I can still read people well enough.”

His gaze drifted past Amelia toward the kitchen.

From there came the soft voices of Kaia and Mason, mixed with the gentle clatter of dishes, full of everyday

warmth.

“He is like the old blue and white porcelain vase in our main hall,” Zach said, nodding toward the display shelf in the corner. “Beautiful, and everyone wants to take a closer look. But he has wrapped himself in an invisible glass cover. Polite and proper, yet keeping people far away.”

The description hit Amelia right in the heart.

Was that not exactly how she had always seen Mason?

Distant and refined, like the moon in the sky. Cold and bright, but out of reach.

Even though he was just in the kitchen next door, she still felt as if there were mountains and rivers between them.

“But,” Zach continued, turning back to her with a knowing smile, “he’s different from you.”
