Mason lightly pinched her chin. He had no romantic feelings for Lilith,and whether he saw her or not was irrelevant.

He only helped her fix her legs due to their past friendship, and then heintroduced her to Aiden. They were square and even.

However, he did not want to explain these things to Zoe. After all, afterthree years of marriage, he knew what she was thinking.

Right now, she simply did not care about him.

Otherwise, she would not go to such lengths to flaunt her charm just toavoid watching a movie with him.

Zoe was now repulsed by him. She could not even bear the thought ofwatching a movie with him. Her previous fondness for him hadvanished into thin air.

Feeling dissatisfied, Mason became somewhat cranky when theyreturned home.

Usually, he was tolerant of the servants, but during dinner, hecomplained that the food was not up to par. The servants weresomewhat anxious but dared not speak up.

Zoe knew that his anger was directed at her. Not wanting to makethings difficult for the servants, she softly spoke to Mason, "If you don'tlike the meal, I'll go to the kitchen and make a couple of dishes youenjoy."

Mason remained silent. Leaning back in his chair, he took out acigarette from his pocket and lit it. After a while, he finally said, "Fine."Zoe went upstairs to change her clothes and headed to the kitchen tocook. The staff felt uneasy.

She apologized to Zoe, "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Zoe. I'll try my best to dobetter in the future and not let Mr. Mason trouble you."

In the bright light, Zoe's expression was gentle. She said, "Mason ispicky. I've known that for a long time. It's nothing, and it's not yourfault.”

The servant felt a bit relieved.

Unaware of what was happening at the kitchen door, Mason had beenstanding there the whole time. He overheard Zoe saying, "Whetherhere or elsewhere, it's all the same. It's just work. There's no right orwrong."

Zoe had no idea that Mason had been standing there, listening. Itturned out that she did not consider this place as home. She treatedMrs. Lockwood like a job, just as she had told Gregory that night. Therewas only profit, no feelings.

Zoe made two dishes that Mason liked.

However, he only picked at them, not saying much. He clearly was notin a good mood.

After finishing the meal, he went to his study to handle some businessmatters. Zoe did not bother trying to analyze his thoughts and actions.As usual, she took a bath, sat in front of the dressing table, and appliedher skincare.

At that moment, Mason pushed the door open.

He walked up behind Zoe, and she heard his footsteps as they meteyes in the mirror.

She assumed that Mason would vent out his anger in bed.Unexpectedly, he stared at her for a few seconds before entering thecloset.

The door slammed shut with a loud noise. Mason was in a foul mood.Zoe thought about what Ella had said, and she somewhat agreed.Mason probably was having an early mid-life crisis.

That night, Mason did not have sex with her. Still, he embraced herwhile sleeping, caging her body in, his hands wandering for quite sometime.

In the middle of the night, Zoe fell asleep.

However, Mason suddenly opened his eyes. In the moonlight, hescrutinized Zoe, who remained serene in her sleep, which infuriatedhim.

After a while, he turned over, got out of bed, and headed into thebathroom. He stepped on a piece of paper near the trash and picked itup. It was a movie ticket.

Printed on the movie ticket was "My Ex-Boyfriend 4, 5:00 PM."

Mason stared at it for a long time before sneering.

'Zoe must have really taken me for a fool!"
