Chapter 314
Mason started having Insomnia again ever since Zoe left.
He kept seeing her in his dreama They loved each other back then. He’d much
rather hold on to their happy memories. That would make him feel slightly better
about himself.
However, he didn’t visit her.
The doctors told him that Zoe was cooperating with the treatment very much. She
read books and wrote diaries in the villa. Her emotions were much more stable and
she was on the road to recovery.
All’s well that ends well, he thought to himself.
Yanni kept crying at the top of her lungs. Perhaps she missed her mother after not
seeing her for a long time.
Mason looked after her in the night and took her with him to the office in the day.
Ava helped him with the baby. At this moment, she was carrying Yanni in her arms
and comforting her patiently.
Feeding the baby with formula, she said softly, “A baby needs her mother! It’s going to affect her health if you keep letting her cry like this.” She sobbed a little before continuing. “You have to take Zoe back from the rehabilitation center and let her
look after your baby, Mason!”
Ava studied in the same college as he did. She very rarely called him by his name.
Right now, she was pleading with him as a friend.
She couldn’t stand seeing Yanni suffer and she certainly couldn’t stand it when Zoe was cut off from the entire world and being tortured in some villa in the suburbs. Zoe must’ve missed her baby badly. After all, all mothers worry about their babies.
However, his heart didn’t soften from what she said.
Instead, he said lightly, “Zoe’s undergoing treatment now. She’s in no condition to
M
take care of Yanni. I’ll return our baby to her once she’s recovered.”
What a cold–blooded man, Ava thought.

Lowering her head, she said coldly, “You’re just making excuses! The truth is, you’re mad si her! You’re mad because she gave you the cold shoulder and didn’t know better than to cross you. So many ladies out there coveted you and yet she couldn’t care less about you! You’re mad that you love her, but you can’t have her!”
“Remember your place, Ava!”
She continued to comfort Yanni and said coldly, “I know my place and I know can’t bring you to see reason when you’re on your high horse, Mason.”
She was being sarcastic, but there was nothing he could do about it. As of this
moment, the closest thing Yanni had to a mother was Ava.
Yanni fell asleep in the afternoon. He didn’t know what to feel when he looked at his
baby and saw a little of Zoe in her. Lowering his head, he planted a kiss on her
forehead before closing the lounge’s door.
Then, he sat on the couch and rested his eyes. He was so exhausted that he dozed
off.
At the next moment, a pair of slender arms held him.
Opening his eyes a crack, he thought he saw Zoe in his dazed state. She was calling
out to him shyly, “Mason.”
Gulping, he asked, “You’re back?”
“Yeah,” Zoe responded. She looked so innocent and beautiful. Most important of all,
she was regarding him with admiration again.
Pulling her to himself, he couldn’t stop caressing her slender waist tenderly. They
were erotically tangled with each other, taking him back to the nights they had sex
with each other. Leaning in her ear, he began to shower her with flattery.
He said, “I missed you. You were all I think about at night. I want you so bad that my
body is aching from not having touched you in a long time. Can we do it?”
The young lady in his arms responded shyly, “I’m willing to do it if it’s with you, Mr.
Mason.
Mr. Mason?
Zoe never called him that!
He snapped wide awake and saw Eira. She was leaning into his arms, looking.
immensely happy. There was admiration in her eyes. She was looking forward for
him to take their relationship to the next level.
At the next moment, he shoved her away.
Fury filled his eyes as he spoke coldly, “Who let you into my office?”
Eira fell heavily on the floor. She felt so embarrassed that she started tearing up.
Why do you insist on holding yourself back, Mr. Mason? Didn’t you send Zoe away?
I’m more than happy to give myself to you. I’ll do anything for you, even if it means I’m not able to marry you!”
With that, she began to undress herself.
Squinting, he said, “That makes you a slut! Also, you kept talking about her when
you forgot that you didn’t even deserve to say her name. What makes you think you
can compare with her when we’ve only spent a short amount of time together in the
car?”
Eira’s face turned pale. She had never thought he’d shame her the way he did.
Taking out a cigarette, he lit it, took a puff, and breathed out. His voice was deep
when he said, “You misunderstood the situation. I’m not even remotely interested in
you!”
