Moments later, she said in a husky voice, “We didn’t do it all the way through, Mason.”
“We had sex!”
Wheeling himself toward her, he said tenderly, mirroring the quieted
storm outside the window, “We might not have done it all the way through, but we did have sex. That means you stand a chance of getting pregnant again.”
At the next moment, he handed her the bottle of pills.
Taking it with a trembling hand, she lowered her head and looked at the all-too-familiar bottle and the writings on it. Just like that, she
was thrown back to the past…
After a long time, she looked at him. Her voice was gentle, but firm when she said, “I’m no longer the old me who you can push around, Mason! Yeah, we had sex, but I reserve the right to make the call if I want to take the pills!
“What gives you the right to force me to take the pills? Who are you to me, aside from an ex-husband and someone I had casual sex with?” With the she threw the bottle of pills into the trash can.
“I might or might not have a baby from this. Either way, you don’t have to take responsibility for it.”
Staring at her quietly, he fell into deep thought.
Zoe had changed. She was no longer the innocent, young lady he once knew. Instead, she had grown into a mature lady. She didn’t usually dare to argue against him in the past, but she could give him a

No man could resist it when his woman turned duul like this.
After a brief moment, he wheeled himself to the wiwindow. He said ssoftly, “The plants around the manor might’vee akken some beating from the storms, but they could thrive after they endured it. The same couldn’t be said for me. All I can do is rot in my beedroom or study…

It wass heartbreaking to hear him say all that.

beautiful because of her high fever. She asked him tenderly, “Are you serious, Mason? Are you telling me that you don’t want to be with me, even if I came back to your side?”
“Exactly!” He responded without any hesitation. “I’ll sleep in the guest room so you can continue to have your rest.”
With that, he left her in the room.
She watched as he wheeled away frantically. Mason had never been like this before!
Needless to say, she wanted to stay with him, but she had no choice. She had to leave. Now, she was merely his ex-wife.
Sure, she could have sex with him, but she couldn’t bear to sleep on is bed, which was reserved for his legal wife. Otherwise, she’d seem that much more miserable and pathetic, much less win his heart again.
Straining to prop herself up, she walked into the fitting room.

Everything looked the same as before.
Opening the cabinets, she realized that all of her outfits, jewelry, and accessories were still there. They were organized neatly as if their mistress had never left the house.
