from an excellent drinker, but he’d never get so wasted that he couldn’t get home!
Hanging up on him, she walked to the bar counter on the balcony with the glass of champagne in her hand,
Personal time was a luxury for her now.
Under normal circumstances, she needed to take care of her kids as well as her businesses and franchises at The One Gourmet. It was a busy, fulfilling life, and she was grateful for it. She wouldn’t have been able to get over Mason as fast as she did otherwise.
It was hard not to feel sad tonight.
Mason had singlehandedly ruined her night.
She cast a sweeping glance at the streets and unexpectedly saw Mason, the person responsible for her gloomy night.
He hadn’t left. She could still see his car parked right there.
With that said, she couldn’t see his face, but his hand was visible, hanging out by the car window. There was a red glow in between his fingers. It rose and fell repeatedly. Then, she saw wisps of light gray smoke breathed out of the car and carried off by the wind.
What a beautiful sight.
However, it broke her heart. She shouldn’t keep looking at it, but she just c.dn’t tear her gaze away.
In the end, the car window was lowered completely, revealing Mason’s stunning features. It was obvious that he had repressed his lust for a long time.
Raising his head slightly, he stared at her in silence. He longed to make her his woman again. That much was clear from his gaze.
Zoe’s heart skipped a beat.

She couldn’t deny it. She still had feelings for him. It was actually embarrassing, the way he pulled her into his arms and didn’t even attempt to hide his erection.
She did say a lot of awful things to him earlier that night. However, she alone knew that her legs were shaking then. She merely touched him briefly by accident, but she knew her heart started pounding crazily after that.
More to the point, she remembered that his neck felt very warm when she leaned close to him, throwing her back to the sultry nights when they derived pleasure from each other’s bodies.
mories were so painful and embarrassing at the same time.
uldn’t think about them anymore. In fact, she could no longer looking at him. Slowly but surely, she pulled the curtains and
closed the window.
Sitting in the black Rolls-Royce, Mason continued to stare at her apartment. He stayed there, admiring the view for a long time.
He didn’t even come to his senses until Luke walked over and said
gently, “It’s time you take your pills, Mr. Mason! Dr. Cecil emphasized that you can’t stop taking them. He said the pills were working so great that your right hand is starting to restore some of its senses.”
Averting his gaze, Mason smiled faintly and seemingly mocked
“That’s right! It’s time to take the freaking pills.”

Frightened, Luke realized he had chosen the wrong words. He was about to say something when Mason instructed him with a grim face, “Take me home!”
