Chapter 144
His gaze darkened after saying that.
He wanted to start anew with Zoe, not just as a form of compensation, but because he wanted to be with her. As he had mentioned, they also had
enjoyable moments, and this kind of happiness was something he hadn't experienced with anyone else.
However, Zoe wasn't interested in continuing the conversation. She lazily brushed him aside, saying, "Aren't you supposed to meet Lilith? Why
haven't you gone downstairs yet?"
Mason sensed indifference in her tone.
This feeling wasn't pleasant.
Zoe didn't care about him anymore, not even a bit when Lilith came over. She was emotionless, as if she were saying he didn't deserve any of her
attention.
Lilith's condition delicate. She pressured the nurse to bring her here, even keeping it a secret from her mother. She waited for a long time in the small
living room, and she could even hear faint movements upstairs.
There was only Mason and Zoe on the second floor, and those sounds could only come from them.
Lilith's face turned pale.
She couldn't help but wonder if Mason was engaging in intimate activity with his wife at this time.
Just as she was thinking about it, the hall door was pushed open, and Mason walked in. Lilith noticed with sharp eyes that there was a smudge of
lipstick on the collar of Mason's snowy white shirt.
Her face became even paler, and she could barely sit still.
She looked at Mason, emitting a mournful plea, "Mr. Mason, I beg you. I don't want to go abroad. I want to stay in Brookesville. If Mrs. Zoe can't
tolerate me, I can apologize and explain things to her. I never had the intention of replacing her."
In Lilith's perception, Mason needed her. The days she spent accompanying him, sometimes finding him tired on the sofa and covering him with a
blanket, smoothing out the wrinkles on his face. During those times, she felt like Mason's wife. Their relationship was filled with a sense of tragedy.
Zoe only knew how to enjoy life.
Zoe only wore expensive clothes
and only.adorned herself to look
beatiful. She only spent Mason's
money. She didn't truly love-him.

Only she, Lilith, could provide warmth to Mason.
However, Mason had already made up his mind.
“Lilith, I did-want to repay you back
then, but it had nothing to do with
ematjons. I never had any feelifigs
for'you. Not back then, notever."

He made it clear. "It's already been arranged. When your condition stabilizes a bit, you will go abroad.”
That was probably next month.
Lilith's eyes were filled with tears.
At that moment, her dream shattered.
Mason's emotionless statement destroyed all her fantasies.
It was as if she had returned to that summer when she shamefully pretended to be Zoe and received Mason's gratitude.
She watched Mason leave and saw his eager expression. She knew his heart was with Zoe.
"Mr. Masog” Lilith, with teary eyes,
smiled faintly. "Before I leave, I wart

come back. It's just for the o

Mason softened a bit.
After considering it for a few seconds, he agreed, "I'll have Ava arrange it for you.”
Lilith's lips kept trembling...
