Chapter 505 

So, Zoe had to drink some liquor. 

Clearing them out, Finnegan made fun of the situation. “You guys are going to break Mason’s heart! So, you’d better watch your backs.”

That was w 

when Gregory walked out from the crowd. He was going to get married soon, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of joy on his face. Instead, he was staring at Zoe gloomily. 

Silence hung over the huge private room. 

A few years back, Gregory had gone nuts over Zoe and some of the people here were mocking him for it now. He had truly gone out of his mind back then, so much so that his family had to send him overseas. 

Then, some of the led to hold him back. “Get a hold of yourself, Gregory!”

That was right. Nothing could ever happen between them! He was 

about to be married soon and he was sure that she’d return to 

Mason’s side again. They both had their soulmates. 

Soulmates. What a silly term…

Smiling bitterly, he laid out three empty glasses on the bar counter and poured champagne into them. Underneath the lights, he stared at her and said in a rather husky voice, “I used to give you a hard time. I remember I forced you to drink three shots when we first met. As a 

of apology, I’m going to take three shots right now. 

s wipe the slate clean between us. I wish you and Mason the veliest of marriages. May you be happy forever!” 

He was about to get married in three days and yet, here he was, saying things he probably should’ve kept to himself. 

Even Mason couldn’t take it and barked, “Forget it, Gregory! It’s all in the past!” 

However, the would-be groom raised the glass and downed it in one shot. He didn’t speak again until the golden liquor rolled down his throat smoothly. “That’s where you’re wrong, Mason! I’m trying to repent for what’s happening right now! I’ve never stopped loving Zoe!” 

What he said rooted everyone to the spot. 

That was bold of him! What made him think it was okay for him to say something like this? 

Mason was no exception. He was also shocked to the core. 

He was about to say something when Zoe, who was standing next to him, raised her glass of champagne, Looking into Gregory’s reddened eyes, she said softly, “I appreciate your adoration, but I have someone else! Here’s wishing you the same. May you find happiness in your marriage.” 

With that, she threw her head back and emptied the glass in one go.

Gregory’s eyes turned completely red at that. 

He knew, deep down, that she had never loved him. In fact, she wouldn’t even think of him if she needed a pawn. He was basically dirt to her, but she still chose to pay him respect at this very moment. 

What more could he ask for? 

At that moment, his silence meant more than anything he could’ve 

said. 

Then, the party picked up and everyone was having fun once more. She looked at Mason and found that he was staring at her profoundly. 

She murmured, “It’s time to leave.” 

The others were reluctant to let them go, but he knew she was slightly drunk now. The champagne she drank a minute ago was no joke. A single glass was enough to make her pass out. So, she wanted to 

leave before she embarrassed herself. 

Holding her waist, he bid farewell to everyone. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have let them go. Then, they took one look at Gregory and decided it was probably better if they did. 

That night, Gregory drank himself into a stupor. 

Mason took her downstairs. 

By the time they were in the car, she was already half drunk. Feeling uncomfortable, she murmured, “Take me home, Mason.” 

At that moment, he was staring at her the way a predator would its 

prey. 

Leaning back on the leather seat, her wool skirt clung to her darling figure. She was slender, but ample where it counted. Shifting his gaze 

upward, he was rewarded with the sight of her reddened, delicate face. Her eyes were slightly closed while her lips parted gently.

She looked tantalizing, her body exuding a unique feminine charm. 

Unable to hold himself back, he leaned over and sealed her lips.
