Chapter 161
It was her wedding ring!
Zoe looked downstairs from the window and found that Mason’s car was, indeed, parked right down there.
Dressed in black attire, he was smoking under the evening light, looking all carefree. He was looking right at her when she stared at
him.
After à brief pause, he called her. Zoe picked up the call and said, Take the puppy away, Mason.”
He said gently, “Its name is Sherry and it’s only three months old! Haven’t you always wanted to have a puppy? It’s cute.”
Zoe was about to say something, but Mason already hung up the phone. Leaning over, he snuffed out his cigar, raised his eyes, and flashed her a smile. Then, he got into the car and drove off.
She was stunned and watched as he drove away into the distance. The puppy was staring right at her when she lowered her head, looking all innocent.
Needless to say, she wasn’t going to keep it.
Changing into another outfit and shoes, she carried the puppy and prepared to call a cab. She was going to send it back to Mason.
Dusk was approaching as she arrived at his manor. The servant was pleasantly surprised to see her return, “Are you coming back, Ms. Zoe? Mr. Mason had just come home not long ago! That’s a cute
puppy.”
Zoe might not have a good relationship with Mason, but she never took it out on the servant. Speaking quietly, she asked, “Where is he?” tly, she asked, “Where is he?”
The servant responded eamesty. “Mr. Mason’s right upstairs! Go ahead and chat with him. Ws Zoe Dinner will be ready soon. The chef prepared something extra tonight”
She nodded and camed Sherry upstairs.

Well. She loved it but she wouldnt take it if it was a gift from him. Putting sown the puppy, she said softly, “Find another owner for it. I wont take to You can have mis too!”

Bending over Wason picked up the puppy. It barked at him twice before nibbing at his plan. It was probably hungry. He proceeded to Buch its for. That made it bark again.
Zoe matched the whole thing for a while, but she steeled herself and excames I’m leaving”
At that moment, someone grabbed her wrist. She was flipped over and Mason was pinning her beneath him in the next second. He pressed against her ever so lightly.

Gritting her teeth, she said, “Let me go, Mason! You’re forgetting the fact that we’re separated!”
“What are you doing here, then? Why are you lying beneath me if we’re separated?”
Her eyes reddened as she turned her head away, refusing to speak to him. She was very reluctant.
Lowering his head, Mason licked the tears from her face. He carried the white puppy and gave it to her while she was still shocked. Then, he said tenderly, “Will you be its mom?”
Zoe ran away frantically.
He was a little stunned when she pushed him away, but he didn’t stop her. He didn’t put down the puppy until he heard a series of footsteps scurrying downstairs. Then, he took the wedding ring and examined it.
The servant wore a puzzled expression on her face, “Ms. Zoe is leaving, Mr. Mason!”
There was nothing but a blank expression on Mason’s face. He spoke softly, “Have the chauffeur send her back home! The streets aren’t safe.”
The servant didn’t want to risk asking more questions.
On the private road outside of the manor, Zoe was running as fast as her legs could carry her. What Mason said about becoming the puppy’s mom haunted her.
Her fantasies of a wonderful life with him were like forgotten memories. They flooded her mind once more…
