Chapter 449 

She wanted to know if he was telling the truth or bluffing her. 

Mason stared right back at her. 

They knew each other very well because they had been married for several years. That was why she knew he still had feelings for her. She was sure of it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to Kirk Manor, had sex with him, and held onto him so tightly. 

The truth was that she couldn’t take it anymore after the first couple of rounds. However, she pushed herself to go on just so she could satisfy him. 

She wouldn’t have done that if she didn’t love him from the bottom of 

his heart. 

Mason felt sorry for himself. They loved each other but they could never get the timing right. In the past, Zoe loved him. Then, she grew disillusioned and stopped loving him over time. After that, it was his turn to fall in love with her. 

Now, however, they couldn’t love each other. 

Every time he got his hopes up, one glance at his busted legs was more than enough to kill his dreams of getting back together with he After that, he’d feel sorry for himself again. 

Zoe was clearly hurt by his response. 

Steeling himself, he continued to say something that was the opposite of what was on his mind. “Do you still think it’s possible for us to reconcile? It’s true. I still love you, but you’re in a relationship with another man! 

“Loving someone is easier said than done. Now that I’m this messed 

up, I just want to take it easy 

“I know I have done a lot of wrong by you, the biggest of which is that I robbed you of your musical ambitions. Now, I’ve made it up to you by sacrificing my right hand. Is that not enough for you?” 

He smirked coldly. Then, he looked at her, expecting her to back off by herself. 

Every woman had their pride. He said it in such a nasty way that no one could’ve possibly kept staying by his side, and Zoe was no 

exception. 

They had been so hot and passionate with each other earlier, but things were so mortifying now. 

Zoe calmed down slowly. 

Fastening her silk robe, she pulled it over the red marks. They were mementos of Mason’s passion from last night. 

Since his legs were busted, she had to do all of the cleanup. 

It was exactly what he wanted her to do. He wanted to let her see for herself that this was how it was going to be if she insisted on b together with him. She’d have to bear the shame of cleaning up they had sex every time. That was, unless she wanted to servant 

know that they had had sex. 

Zoe cleaned herself up briefly and took a few more tissues. Then, s wiped the sweat and muck off of him before straightening up his bathrobe. However, she could never get rid of the smell of ammonia 

When everything was done, she lowered her head and said pitifully, Fine. It’s nothing more than a fling, anyway.” Her heart wasn’t made of stone. She could be hurt by words, too. 

Afternoon came and she left with the kids as well as Mia.

She looked back at it and realized she had stayed in Mason’s manor for four long days. He didn’t go downstairs to see her off when she left. Instead, he sat by the window in the study and quietly cast his glance at the parking slot. 

A newly hired private doctor, Dr. Werner, stood next to him. She was over forty years old and was very mature and as reliable. Handing him a glass of water, she said softly, “It’s time for your medicine, Mr. Mason.” 

Still looking out the window, he responded lightly, “Hand it over.” 

He was taking the medicine when he saw Zoe standing underneath the sunlight, opening the car door, and getting into it. 

All of a sudden, Mason felt this deep self-loathing rising within him, The truth was, he knew very well that he was just making up excuses. He wouldn’t reconcile with her because he didn’t have the courage to 

be with her. 

He wasn’t brave enough to walk with her under the sunlight and bear with the curious looks from the public. 

Whatever he said earlier was just an excuse. 

He closed his eyes gently and fell into a deep trance. 

Zoe took the kids with her and left. 

Yanni had recovered completely. She was busy talking in the car. Obviously, she had completely forgotten what Scarlett told her. 

Seeing that, Zoe began to feel better.
