Chapter 439 

Mason didn’t have an answer for that. 

In fact, Zoe wasn’t exactly waiting for one, either. So, both of them ended up holding their breaths until Mia arrived. 

In the middle of the night, the sound of a car pulling in reverberated in the yard. Not long after, Mia was on the second floor. 

Zoe let out a sigh of relief when she saw her stepmother. She 

couldn’t stop herself from calling out to her softly, “Hey, Mia. 

群 

“Let me check on Yanni.” Mia was calm. Taking Yanni in her arms, she patted her gently and pressed her forehead against the little girl’s, murmuring to her… 

Yanni was still trapped in her nightmare. 

After a brief moment, she called out to Mia. She mumbled, “Scarlett scared me. She said that Mommy and Daddy hate each other. She also said Daddy used to lock Mommy up in a mental hospital because he didn’t want her anymore. Daddy wanted to marry som other lady…” 

An onslaught of emotions flooded Mia when she heard what her granddaughter said. 

She was heartbroken for Yanni, of course, but she was feeling so much worse for Zoe that her heart could fall to pieces. Be that as it may, she pressed her face against Yanni’s and said lovingly, 

“You’re just seeing stuff from your dreams. It’s not real! I assure you, it’s nothing but a bad dream!” 

She kept mumbling the same thing to the little girl over and over 

again. Then, she checked Yanni’s pulse and realized Yanni was slowly 

dozing off to sleep. 

Even after Yanni had fallen asleep, Mia never left her side. Needless to say, she had to stay the night. 

Zoe had to say something to Mason. So, she checked on her kids before heading out to wait for him in the guest room. About five minutes later, he made his way there too. 

One of the servants made some tea for them and the sweet aroma filled the room in no time. Both of them were in no mood to drink it. They just sat across from each other in silence. 

After a long time, she broke the silence. 

She was very upset, but she did her best to control herself. “Are you still going to keep her? If she could intimidate Yanni for her selfish desires, then there’s no telling what she’d do to our little girl next time! 

“I have no right to stop if you truly fall in love with someone and intend to marry her, but you shouldn’t mingle with disgraceful ladies such as her and allow her to freely hurt our kids.” 

Lowering her gaze, she said, “I have my limits, Mason…” 

She loved him and was eternally grateful for his sacrifices. Howev she couldn’t send her kids to his place in good conscience if he allowed ladies such as Scarlett to stay by his side. 

At the next moment, she raised her head slightly. “I’m trying hard put our ugly history behind us. Never have I imagined that someon as disgraceful as Scarlett would open the can of worms again. In front of Yanni, no less! 

“If you’re not going to take any action, then I’ll take the matter into my own hands! You’d better believe me when I tell you that a lady is 

much more cold-blooded than a man ever could be.” 

She said a lot tonight, but she had said too much. Now, he knew 

about her true feelings. He also knew that it hurt her to see him with another lady. 

She didn’t regret letting him know about it, though. 

Staring straight into his eyes, her repressed feelings were on the precipice of blowing up. All he had to do was take a step closer and they’d be together again. 

The light on the ceiling was shining bright. 

Mason’s voice was soft as he said, “I’ll handle this!” 

Then, he fell into a trance and said bitterly, “Look at the sorry mess I’ve become! You have to forget about me, Zoe! Live a happy life with David! As for what happened in the yard earlier… I suggest you put that behind you too!” 

With that, he wheeled himself out of the guest room. 

Scarlett didn’t just unearth Zoe’s trauma when she said those things, to Yanni. She also dug up Mason’s biggest regret in life. 

He put his beloved Zoe through so much pain. What made him think he could keep her all to himself? 

He couldn’t even walk anymore! 

Scarlett had woken him up from this beautiful fantasy he had wov for himself. She had exposed their painful history in the ugliest wa possible, for all the world to see…
