Chapter 131
A resounding slap landed on Mason’s face.
Mason came to a halt, his gaze lowered to the person on the pillow. Zoe’s heart surged with emotions, her silk nightgown slipping off her shoulders, revealing the delicate and rounded contours of her
breasts. She exuded a fragile beauty
“Getting violent now?” Mason spoke softly, his eyes carrying hidden
emotions.
He held onto her hand, firmly pressing it above the snowy white pillow…
For a moment, he didn’t make a move.
Zoe’s nose turned red.
She looked up at Mason, her voice broken. “Mason, are you trying to rape me now? If that’s not what you want, then let me go!”
Mason didn’t release her.
He stared at her vulnerable state for a while before speaking in a
hoarse voice.
“When I said I wanted to start over, I meant it.”
Zoe turned her face away.
Her face buried deep into the pillow she murmured, “There will be no children between us, let alone anything else. I can’t afford to play around, Mason. We’re done!”
She finished speaking without struggling further.
She lay under his body, fragile and defenseless.

If Mason truly desired her at this moment, she wouldn’t be able to resist because she had a weakness. She had to consider her brother.
She couldn’t abandon everything for his words of “not having enough fun.” Even if she, as Mrs. Lockwood, couldn’t bear him, she still had to
endure.
It was just humiliation without love.
Mason knew this, too. He knew he could possess her, even create a child with her. They were young and strong. Zoe could easily conceive. After a few more times just like this, they could have a baby.
However, he also knew that if he did that, he and Zoe would truly be
over.
He remained motionless for a while. Zoe’s voice was hoarse. “If you’re not going to do it, then let me go.”
This time, she easily broke free from him, turning around and lying with her back to him. She treated him with cold indifference.
Mason quietly watched, suddenly remembering how he used to be cold to Zoe before. Now, it was Zoe treating him this way.
He didn’t leave, choosing to lie down beside her.
Mason’s hand grasped her shoulder with no other intentions, just wanting to touch her and confirm that she was still by his side.
At that moment, Zoe’s body stiffened.
Mason’s handsome face turned pale.
In the afternoon, Ava called, saying that Lilith had been transferred back to Lockwood Hospital and really wanted to see Mason.
Mason took his phone and went outside.

Sitting on the sofa in the study, he rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit weary. “Just tell her I’m busy.”
Ava said with candor, “If you don’t come, Lilith won’t cooperate with the treatment. Mrs. Carly is causing a scene in the hospital. Mr. Mason, won’t you consider sending Ms. Lilith abroad for treatment?”
Ava couldn’t hold it in any longer. She was just a secretary, earning 400 thousand a year. Although it was a high salary, she couldn’t handle spending day and night in the hospital, facing the Wright family every day. Besides, she was getting married in two months.
Hearing her say that, Mason did consider it.
However, he had to appease Lilith and go to the hospital for now.
He held his phone and returned to the bedroom. Zoe’s eyes were closed, but he knew she wasn’t asleep. So, in a soft voice, he said, I’m going out. Prepare a set of clothes for me.”
