Chapter 195
Mason was very calm when he walked into Zoe’s ward. The light in the ward hurt his eyes, but not as much as David and Zoe, who were embracing each other. She used to be his and only his.
On the other hand, David was close to losing his control. Releasing her gently, he took her to the bathroom and asked her to stay put in there. After that, he took off his coat and his cuff links.
Every action was carried out slowly and deliberately, but there was an unmistakable sense of aggression behind them.
Mason was doing the same thing too.

David accused him of not loving Zoe.

Too bad. She wasn’t interested in it!
Given the way things were now, there was nothing else to say
