Chapter 380
Now that they were finally embracing each other, the world had changed so much.
“Noah!”
Holding him tightly, Zoe sobbed as she said, “How are you already free before your release date?”
Mia, who was standing at the side, wiped her tears away and said, ” He was released on parole, for your birthday.”
Deep down, Zoe knew it wouldn’t have been possible without Mason’s help. He was trying to surprise her. That explained why he left Kirk Manor before she woke up.
Neither she nor Noah said anything about Mason.
Mia, on the other hand, insisted on them offering a prayer for Noah’s newfound freedom. Noah was never a religious person, but he
allowed his stepmother to do it just so it’d soothe her.
Afterward, Mia held his hands and couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. She wailed and said, “You’re finally back. I can finally say that I’ve done right by your father!”
He embraced her and tried to comfort her.
After a brief moment, Mia came to her senses. Wiping her tears, she said, “You have to pay respect to your father’s tomb! I’m sure he’d appreciate it.”
Noah’s heart sank at what she said.
At that moment, Yanni ran over and called out to him loudly, “Uncle Noah!”
Bending down, he picked up the little girl. She was the spitting image of Zoe when she was young. His heart had turned cold and hard from his time in prison, but a strong sense of affection swelled in his chest as he looked at his niece.
Yanni was such a gift from the universe:
He was well aware of Yanni’s condition. So, he couldn’t help but pat her head lovingly.
Noah went to the graveyard alone.
The sun’s golden rays were shining right on him, but he could barely feel any warmth. Standing in front of his father’s tomb quietly, he stared at his picture and let his mind travel back to the past they shared in Kirk Manor, their loving home.
A tall figure stood behind him for a long time. It was Mason
He was aware that Mason was here. So, he said softly. “I was sent into imprisonment when I was at the prime of my life. It took me six years to finally breathe free again. Now, I’m well over thirty years old!
“You weren’t obliged to help us, but I can’t forgive you for what you’ve done to Zoe. You’re a heartless monster!”
Whirling around, he swung his fist at Mason without any warning, his face both cold and grim.
Mason saw it coming, but he didn’t dodge out of the way. After all, he deserved it. This was the day he had been waiting for!
With that said, he only let Noah throw three punches before springing into action himself. Both of them traded blows before Gordon’s tomb The fight was both savage and gut-wrenching to behold Mason and Noah were clobbering each other as if they wanted their opponents
dead.
Noah roared, “You’re a monster, Mason!”
Mason retorted, “You’re a good-for-nothing. You should know how to cover your tracks if you’re a proper businessman, Noah. Gordon could hide behind the fact that he was old. What about you, Noah? What excuse did you have?!
“You were sent to prison and yet you insisted on Zoe seeking out Liam.” Sneering, he said, “You’ve got to be the biggest fool I’ve ever
met!”
None of them pulled back their punches. Both of them clobbered each other hard and drew blood.
At the same time, they knew better than to gravely injure each other, After, they were Yanni’s family. They needed to think about the little girl before they really dealt any deadly blows to each other.
In the end, Noah was lying on the floor, panting hard.
After a while, he said softly, “I won’t move into Kirk Manor, nor will I take over the revitalized Sanders Group. If you insist on returning it to our family, then let Zoe take over! We’re even, but you can’t possibly redeem yourself when it comes to her!”
Having said his fill, he brushed the dirt off his clothes and struggle to stand up.
Mason rose shakily to his feet as well. He watched as Noah walked away
and shouted at him, “I love Zoe! I’m not doing this to redeem myself! I’m doing this because I love her, period!”
Noah stiffened at what he said and smiled bitterly.
His former brother-in-law had a point. If Mason was a monster, then
sag
he was a good-for-nothing! It was his carelessness that led to his
downfall and the undoing of his entire family.
Coldness filled his eyes as he uttered the name of the culprit, “I’m
back, Liam!” +
