Mason frowned slightly and twisted the pen closed.

He remembered the sounds Lilith made during the meal. He couldendure it, but he wondered if Aiden would mind.

Ava was indeed an experienced professional. Mason's eyebrow raised,and she already guessed his thoughts.

She assured him, "Mr. Mason, rest assured. I'll remind Ms. Lilith on theway to pay attention to table manners. Aiden, coming from a literaryfamily background, should be quite concerned about this."

Mason remained silent.

Ava was confident she guessed right. She despised Lilith even morenow.

“Eating like a pig and still thinking of marrying Mason? Dream on!"However, it was evident Lilith didn't think the same way.

She had dressed up intentionally, wearing a white layered dress withromantic lace layers that complemented her face. Ava pushed Lilith’swheelchair downstairs, casting a disdainful glance from above. In hermind, Lilith was a hillbilly. She was short, and this distasteful dresshighlighted it.

Upon reaching the car, Lilith was delighted. Since Ava sat in the frontseat, Lilith had the privilege of sitting in the back with Mason.

Looking at Mason's expressionless face, she gathered the courage toask, "Mr. Mason, how do you replace my dress? Will Aiden like it?"

Up front, Ava discreetly coughed.

Mason politely glanced at her and said, "It's alright.”

Lilith felt even more confident.

Her stepmother said men loved women in white.

Today, she had a mission. She not only had to have dinner with Aidenbut also replace a way to go home with Mason. If she pretended to bedrunk and stayed overnight, she believed any man wouldn't be able toresist.

Once they slept with each other, she could demand a divorce from himwithout any guilt. He didn't love Zoe anyway.

While she was lost in her daydreams, the car came to a stop.

She thought Mason would carry her out.

He did that last time.

However, Mason got out on his own.

Instead, a 50-year-old driver came over to lift her from the car. Lilith,feeling wronged, refused to get out. Ava held the car door, her tonecold. "Ms. Lilith, Mr. Mason's time is precious!"

By now, Mason was already far away.

Ava was less polite now, and she straightforwardly stated, "Ms. Lilith,you were married before, beaten to disability by your ex-husband. Mr.Mason sympathizes with you, arranging your treatment and fulfillingyour dreams. As for other matters, you shouldn't think too much aboutit."

She added, "Your mother caused trouble for Mrs. Zoe last time. Mr.Mason wasn't pleased.”

Lilith didn't believe it. "How is that possible? Mr. Mason didn't blameme."

Ava sneered.

Lilith was too naive. Mason did not blame her to avoid tarnishing hisimage.

This fool seemed to have not felt Mason's recent indifference.

The mention of Lilith seemed to make him a bit impatient.

Women were most sensitive, and Ava's intuition told her Mason's heartwas still with Zoe.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have pulled back on his divorce.

While the conversation lingered, Aiden's assistant came out of thehotel.

Seeing Mason, she was enthusiastic.

"Mr. Mason, Aiden has long admired you and has wanted to meet you.Today is our first meeting, and Aiden has prepared your favorite peachblossom wine. We're determined to make sure you don't leave sobertonight.”

Mason's brows raised.

He casually rolled up his sleeves and said, "Meeting Aiden is a chanceencounter. How would Aiden know about my small preferences?”
