I Refuse to Divorce!
Chapter 108

Zoe's ears were indeed red. She gripped the drawer with her slimhands and tried to stop him from peering into it.

“It's nothing! I bought a new perfume and I had just unwrapped it."“Oh, I see.” Reacting out of his character, he spoke slowly, “Give it awhirl! I want to smell it. Don't they always say a perfume makes alady?"

His voice was flirty but it carried a hint of a threat. Zoe couldn't replace it inher to say no to him.

He had pulled open the drawer completely as they spoke. True enough,there was a bottle of perfume in there. He took it and squeezed someof the perfume behind her ear. It was probably due to the sudden burstof air, but her ear actually trembled lightly.

Mason's eyes grew darker at that.

Holding her perky shoulders, he pressed his face against her neck andbrushed her ear with his nose. Then, he spoke in his husky, seductivevoice, “You smell so good.”

She couldn't help but tremble lightly. “Mason!”

Chuckling, he said, “You're still on your period. Do me a favor and stoptempting me!”

At that moment, he acted as if he was discovering her diary for the firsttime and paged through it before she could stop him. Wearing a casual,lazy expression, he read it with one hand while holding his wife withanother.

Not only was he reading it, but he was vocalizing the contents. Thediary was full of her thoughts and emotions back when she was asweet, naive eighteen-year-old. It was especially embarrassing to havehim reading them out loud.

“Mason ignored me for the whole day!”

“I gave him some snacks, but he didn’t even bother to look at them.Does he hate me?"

“Okay. if he hates me, then why would he lend me his coat when I washaving my period and stained my skirt? Perhaps he secretly loves me?That's it. 'm sure he'll fall in love with me tomorrow!”

Zoe's eyes and ears turned red and burned up. She might not loveMason anymore, but it was still embarrassing for him to read her diary.She felt naked in front of him. Biting her lip, she was about to saysomething when a platinum business card fell out of her diary.

It was Liam's business card.

It was as if time itself had frozen. She stiffened, unsure of what Masonwould think when he saw the business card. She hesitated to imaginethe sort of things he'd put her through if he could guess that sheplanned to cast him aside after he had outlived his usefulness.

In fact, he might very well torture her right there and then. He might tellher to give up the foolish thoughts about divorcing him!

She trembled, but it wasn't because she was weak. Instead, it wasbecause she had been married to him for three years and she knew hischaracter all too well. He had a bad temper and he wasn't particularlypatient with her, either.

To her surprise, none of her fears came to pass.

Mason merely glanced at the business card and asked in the mostcasual manner, “Why do you have Liam’s business card? Have youbeen seeing him lately?"

Hearing that, she relaxed a little. Lowering her gaze, she responded, “Italk to him about Noah's case from time to time.”

He proceeded to ask about the progress of her brother's case. It wasmuch more relaxing when he wasn't flirting with her. She answeredevery question he asked.

All of a sudden, she stopped talking. Mason lifted her and set her onthe makeup table. Her exposed thighs touched the gold surface of thetable. It was midnight and the table was subtly cold. The chill seepedinto her body.

He stroked the back of her ear with his middle finger and spoke in alazy, flirtatious tone, “Why aren't you wearing a bra?”

She couldn't bring herself to look at him in this embarrassing situation.Closing her eyes lightly, she lifted her chin and said, “I just took a bath.I was about to head to bed!"

He chuckled and continued to caress her. It was nothing too serious, hewas merely toying with her tenderly. He kissed the back of her ear andmuttered lovingly, “How tender! We've been married for many yearsnow. How do you still feel so soft, like a young girl?”

Zoe was teased so badly that she was on the brink of a meltdown.

At that moment, his phone rang. It was Ava.

Ava sounded agitated. “There's an emergency at the hospital, Mr.Mason! One of the nurses mistakenly gave Ms. Lilith the wrongmedicine when she was setting up the IV drip. She became violently illand even passed out for a short while earlier!”

Mason's eyes were still fixed on Zoe when he answered the phone. Hehad been watching her expression, trying to catch the slightest reactionon her face.
