Chapter 321
At the same time, Gabriela fell to the ground. Lowering her head, she looked at the toy she had so carefully chosen for Yanni and smiled miserably.
The fact was that Mason merely took advantage of the latest opportunity he stumbled onto. He never intended to give up on Zoe. Now, he had an excuse to
conviner Zoe to return to his side so he could make things right, because he still
loved hert
It he loved Zoe, then what was the point of waiting for him all these years?
After all this time, she was still no match for Zoe, even if the latter was tortured to
the point of losing her sanity. It would’ve been funny if it wasn’t so cruel. In what
way was Zoe better than her?
Mason carried Zoe into the manor. Layla rose early today and almost jumped out of
her skin when she saw her. Then, she burst into tears and said, “Why are you so thin,
Ms. Zoe? Don’t they feed you anything over there?!”
Zoe felt so weak, she couldn’t muster up the strength to respond to her. All she
could do was offer a weak smile.
Layla wiped away her tears and said, “I’ll make you an omelet and some herbal soup immediately. Please go and rest, Ms. Zoe.”
With that, she left in a hurry.
Mason carried her upstairs and opened the bedroom door with one hand. It was as warm as it would feel in spring in there. Yanni was lying in the crib, sleeping
soundly.
On the other hand, Ava had grabbed some shut–eye on the couch. She had kept. Yanni company the entire night. She woke up the moment he came into the
bedroom with Zoe.
She was stunned by what she saw.

Ava didn’t usually show her vulnerable side to people, but there were tears at the corner of her eyes now Rising, she walked over and said, “What happened to you? Did they mistreat you at the rehabilitation center?”
All Ze could manage was a bittet smile. She closed her eyes slowly and said softly,”
Let me see Yanni.‘
Setting her down on the couch, he carried Yanni in his arms and was about to put her in Zoe’s arms. However, Zoe rejected the gesture. “I’m filthy, Keep her away from
me!
He was stunned by what she said.
At that moment, Ava gave her a glass of warm milk and a snack. Crouching before Zoe, she said softly, “You should eat something!”
Zoe was looking at Yanni and was reluctant to tear her gaze away. She missed her
baby so much. In fact, she wanted to touch her baby, but she was wary of the fact that she was filthy and might pass on some germs or bacteria.
In the end, she asked Mason to take Yanni away. She didn’t speak until she had
some food in her and recovered some of her strength.
“I want to take a shower.”
He said gently, “You can shower after you have some breakfast. You’re too weak to
do it now.”
She didn’t insist on having her way. Instead, she glanced at Ava.
Ava
was be
and she sensed what Zoe was trying to tell her. Blinking, she
said, “I’m going to head downstairs and check on the kitchen.”
In fact, she intended to leave and give them some space. She had a pretty good idea
of what Zoe was going to say to him.
Zoe and Mason, along with Yanni, were left alone in the bedroom afterward. She
looked at her baby and, said ever so softly, “I gambled with my life, Mason. I believe it
isn’t too outrageous for me to dictate three terms with you!”
He merely gazed at her in silence.

Smiling miserably, she continued, “Firstly, get me a car so I can leave with Yanni. Secondly, I’m taking Deborah with me. After all, she was the one who took care of Yanni. Lastly, I want a divorce.”
Then, his gaze turned into a glare.
After a brief moment, he walked over to the window and stood there quietly. He looked so lonely from the back…
He stood there like that for a long time.
About five minutes later, he said with a husky voice, “Okay. I believe you know that I’ll agree to any terms you name right now, Zoe! I’ll set you free. You can take Yanni too. However, can I visit her when I miss her in the future?”
Turning around, he looked at her and pleaded, “Finish your meal and take a shower.
I’ll send you back to your parent’s place once you’re done!”
