Chapter 512
Zoe made her way into her villa.
It was as warm as spring here. Several of her servants filed down the stairs and greeted her warmly when they saw her. “Mr. Mason sent over a lot of gifts. We’ve moved all of them to the private lounge on the second floor! Please go over them when you have the chance. Ms. Zoe.”
Her servants had always worked hard. So, she didn’t have the heart to reprimand them.
“Okay.” She responded lightly and climbed the stairs. Opening the bedroom door, she saw a mountain of delicate gift boxes, each of them came with a gift card too. She counted and found that there were a total of thirty-one gifts in there.
Mason had given her thirty-one gifts because she was thirty-one years old now.
Taking off her coat, she sat on the wool carpet and unwrapped her gifts. Some of them were exquisite pieces of jewelry while some others were limited edition handbags. There was also silk sleepwear and skincare in there.
As she unwrapped the last box of gifts, she saw a Patek Philippe ladies’ watch.
In the past, she had always picked out his outfit as well as the accessories. So, it didn’t take her long to realize that this was a matching set with the one he always wore. What was more, the makers had no longer made this particular model of watch, but he managed to get a customized order for her.
It was a romantic gesture. Unfortunately, it was also a waste of

money.
Picking up the cards, she read them one by one, each of them handwritten by Mason. The contents were quite bold. It was hard for her to imagine him getting the time to sit down and write this romantic stuff.
“The first time I saw you, you were only six years old. You were
adorable with your floral skirt and pigtails. Cecil wasn’t the only one who remembers how you looked when you were just a little girl, Zoe. You can also rely on me the way you’d rely on an elder brother.
“Do you remember when you insisted on divorcing me? The fact was, I signed it before you even brought it up.
“But, I tore it up!
“I lied about it! But, it wasn’t because I didn’t want to let you go. It was just that I didn’t want to lose you.”
She read each of the cards detailing his deepest thoughts and
sentiments.
The fact was that she knew about all of that.
However, she’d be lying if she claimed she wasn’t moved by his efforts to sit down and write down all of this for her. After all, they had a long history!
Once she was finally done reading them, she sat quietly in the private Hounge for a long time.
Then, she checked the extravagant gifts again. All of these easily cost him a hundred million dollars. Any lady would’ve been jumping with glee, to be honest.
After all, all ladies were obsessed with jewelry and famous handbags.

However, she didn’t want them. She didn’t need all this pandering.
She called Paloma over and asked her to pack and store all of it in the storeroom on the ground floor. Then, she asked her to donate all of them to charity the next day.
Paloma was shocked to the core at that. Looking at her mistress’s expression, she decided against asking her about it.
Fifteen minutes later, she asked gingerly, “What should I do with these cards, Ms. Zoe? There’s also the Patek Philippe ladies’ watch as well. It looks so much like the one Mr. Mason wears. Should I donate it with the others as well?”

e took a shower and got ready for bed. At that moment, he gave er a phone call.
He probably got wind of her intentions to donate everything to charity because his voice was gentle when he spoke. “Do you not like the gifts? I’ll give you another batch of gifts tomorrow if that’s the case. Just tell me what you like, Zoe. I really want to make you happy.”
It was the middle of the night, which was the time when everyone was at their most vulnerable.
Zoe lay down on the bed. She looked especially fragile with her cheeks buried on the white pillows. She responded softly, “Stop giving me gifts, Mason! I don’t care for expensive jewelry. These are meaningless to me. Also, you can write as many gift cards as you
want
‘re not going to change our ugly past.”

Mason remained quiet for a long time before he spoke in an even softer tone, “I can’t change the past, Zoe. What I want to give you is the future. I know you don’t care for jewelry and handbags.
“Clearly, you can buy them yourself, anytime you want. I’m merely trying to treat you better and make you happy. It’s just that I’m never sure if I did the right thing.”
