Chapter 252 

Mason was already dressed nicely while Zoe was still sitting on the sink. 

She felt cold all over. 

She knew his character all too well and she was sure he wouldn’t let her off easily. However, if someone asked if she regretted telling him about it, she’d say firmly that she didn’t regret it. 

The fact was, she couldn’t regret it! 

He pushed her to the brink of collapse. At that point, she didn’t have enough wits about her to lie. 

At that moment, she looked like a mess while he looked impeccable! 

Leaning on the wall, he had a cigarette between his lean fingers. Wisps of grey smoke lingered in the restroom and blurred their vision a little. 

His voice was slightly husky when he asked, “When did it happen?” 

Her nightgown was a mess. She shielded herself with her arms, but it didn’t make her feel warm at all. Her face was devoid of color as well. 

Staring at him for a long time, she said slowly, “It was back when Ella had the accident. I thought about being together with him then! However, Ella had woken up and we’re still not a couple. You know the exact reason, Mason! 

“Didn’t you say you wanted to know about it? Well, now, I’m telling you that I used to have feelings for him. entertained the thought of spending my life with him. I even thought that, given how compatible we are, we could spend the rest of our lives together.

“There, I told you everything you wanted to know! If you can’t accept this, you’re free to reconsider our marriage.” 

His eyes were as dark as night. 

After a brief pause, he lowered his head, flicked the cigarette, and 

asked, “Are you talking about another divorce?” 

Then, he raised his eyes and looked at her. 

He recalled the day when he brought her to the church. He held her fingers as they stood before the altar and his heart was pounding so hard. He was never one to believe in a higher power, but he believed at that very moment. 

He fully believed in the vows he took before the higher power. 

They would love and honor each other all the days of my life. Their marriage would stand the test of time! 

At first, he thought he could start things over with her. Little did he know that she had fallen in love with someone else! 

Smiling faintly, he responded, “I’ll never divorce you!” 

They’d remain married until death did them part. 

From this day on, Mason no longer doted on her. Instead, they were. both giving each other the silent treatment now. 

He barely laid a finger on her. 

He slept in the study every night. The ‘Méditation’ was the only thing that could soothe him and help him to sleep. Then, he’d go into his bedroom for a change of clothes. They might bump into each other, but he wouldn’t talk to her. 

It was then he started meeting and dating other women. Sometimes,

he would take pictures with gorgeous female celebrities. 

However, he took pictures with Gabriela most of the time. 

Then, Lockwood Corporation and Waldolf Group started collaborating on a project. That, in turn, encouraged Gabriela to hang out more with him. 

They were business associates. Although they’d flirt with each other a little, the other people didn’t make comments on it. Most of them were mindful of Mason’s power, but some papers published bold articles regardless. 

Even the headline was sensational. 

“Marital breakdown in the Lockwood house. CEO of Lockwood Corporation met a noble lady in the night.” 

They even attached a picture that showed them flirting with each other. It was taken in a club’s hallway. Gabriela wore a sundress and leaned on the wall. Mason was caressing her cheeks and the look in his eye was that of lust. That was how he looked every time he 

wanted to have sex. 

Zoe looked at it for a long time. It started raining outside when she put down the newspaper. Raindrops fell on the window, creating a 

gentle rhythm. 

Someone knocked on the door. “What would you like for dinner, Ms. 

Zoe?” 

Mason was out in Crocksten then. 

He probably wouldn’t come back for a good while, she thought. Then, she responded to Layla, “Spaghetti will do.” 

Layla paused for a second before saying, “Mr. Mason is back!” 

That stunned her. Walking over to the window, she lowered her gaze
