Chapter 82
Mason returned to the mansion, and the servants were a bit surprised to see him back.
“Where’s Mrs. Lockwood? Didn’t she go out?” Mason casually asked while heading upstairs.
The servant quickly replied, “Mrs. Zoe is still here, but she just told the driver that she’ll be heading out shortly.”
Mason paused for a moment, not saying anything. He walked to the second floor, opened the door to the master bedroom, and saw Zoe changing into different clothes.
She wore a silk blouse paired with a fishtail skirt, giving off a hint of restrained beauty.
Mason could not help but glance for a few more seconds. Then, he took off his suit jacket, sat on the couch, and stared at her intently.
“I just got back, and you already have plans? Cancel them and have dinner with me.”
Zoe had a meeting with Aiden. It could not be canceled on a whim.
However, she also did not want to upset Mason.
So, she said gently, “I didn’t know you’d be back early, Mason. Next time, let me know in advance if you want to have dinner together so can prepare for it.”
Mason was in a terrible mood.
He reached out and pulled Zoe into his arms. He lowered his head, his nose pressing against hers, flesh against flesh, appearing overly intimate and ambiguous. However, his words carried a hint of
ockery. “Do Eneed to makaka rereservation now whenever I want to ve a meal with you, Mrs. Lockwonsid?”

returned to him, every interaction with him had been anything but
easy.
The driver turned his head and asked, “Where to, Mrs. Zoe?”
Zoe glanced at the location sent by David and said lightly, “Cortes Cafe at Southport Fishing Village.”
The driver gently stepped on the gas and cheerfully commented, ” Their desserts are famous. My wife and kids love them.”
Zoe smiled faintly.
Thirty minutes later, the car arrived at Southport Fishing Village.
Once Zoe got out of the car, the driver was preparing to park in the underground parking lot when the phone in the glove compartment rang. Glancing at it, he realized it was a call from Mason.
The driver hurriedly answered, “Mr. Mason, I’ve safely dropped Mrs. Zoe off.”
Mason’s tone was indifferent. “Send me the location. I’ll pick her up
later.”
At Cortes Cafe, David had reserved a cozy corner and ordered
desserts specifically for Zoe.
As soon as Zoe arrived, David stood up to greet her, smiling.

Zoe quickly apologized, “I had to deal with something unexpected just as I was leaving.”
David was insightful. He knew Zoe had returned to Mason. He suspected it was because of that man.
