Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 534 Mrs. Chambers was Disappointed

They went upstairs and entered the bedroom. Ophelia got out of Zachariah’s shoulder and walked to the window alone, looking out. She looked a little glum.

Zachariah walked to her, put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, “Not happy?”

Ophelia shook her head. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

She’s just a little confused. She didn’t know how to define her relationship with Zachariah right now. Although she’s going to get a divorce, she was dependent on him subconsciously.

“Don’t worry, I’ll fight for Tommy’s custody for you. I won’t let mom and Dad torture you any more.” Zachariah promised.

Ophelia turned around and looked at Zachariah. She said, “Why are you being so nice to me? Even though I set you up to have sex with another woman and then take advantage of your guilt to divorce you, you are always there for me.”

Zachariah said with a smile, “Because you are my wife.”

Ophelia was moved to tears. She looked away so Zachariah couldn’t read her mind.

“We’re getting a divorce, don’t you remember?” Ophelia said in a hoarse voice.

“As long as we haven’t signed the divorce papers, you’re my woman.” Zachariah said in a bossy voice.

‘And you’re destined to be my woman forever.’ he thought.

He divorced Ophelia and separated temporarily to get a purer and more beautiful start with her. He had never wanted to give up her.

“Thank you!” A thousand words turned into such courtesy which was what she wanted to say sincerely.

Zachariah stroked her head fondly. “I don’t want you to thank me. I want you to be happy every day. I surely promise you a divorce but I won’t let go of you and I’m sure it won’t be long before you come back to the Chambers family as my loving wife.”

Ophelia was moved with a fluctuating mood.

What Zachariah said was not sweet words and it is better than sweet words, which nearly melted her heart. Zachariah was a heartstealer and he was so good that not many women could be immune to his charms, including her.

Despite her initial crush on Tassach, she fell in love with Zachariah after they were together night and day for years.

She wanted to keep staying in Zachariah’s arms and pour out all her grievances and confusion. She wasn’t trying to win sympathy but just didn’t want to be so tired. Her impending blindness made her confused and fear that when she finally could not see anything, she would really be useless.

But when she saw Zachariah’s unconditional doting eyes, Ophelia swallowed her pain and fought back the impulse to speak. She didn’t dare or want to bet on Tommy.

Ophelia stepped back from Zachariah quietly and kept a distance. “I’m going to check Tommy.”

Seeing her dodging, Zachariah was surprised. He knew he should take one step at a time. After all, he held the trump card. He had never wanted to give up Ophelia. Divorce only meant a temporary separation and they would be together finally when the time was right.

“I’ll go with you.”

“No. I want to see him by myself.”

Zachariah didn’t insisted.

For three days in a row, all members of the Chambers family had been in a bad mood because of Ophelia and Zachariah’s impending divorce. The gentle and generous Mrs. Chambers was no longer smiling. This morning, Zachariah wiped his mouth after breakfast and said casually, “Mom, Dad, today Ophelia and I will sign the divorce papers. Ophelia will get the custody of Tommy. And I have had my lawyer draw up the marriage settlement.”

Mrs. Chambers, who was eating breakfast slowly and elegantly, slammed down his chopsticks, looked at Zachariah angrily and barked, “No way!”

Zachariah said, “Mom, the divorce is between Ophelia and me. I hope you can respect me. Tommy is young and it’s best for him to go with his mom.”

“You little bastard!” Mrs. Chambers was furious. “Tommy is the oldest grandson of the Chambers family. I had never heard of an oldest grandson of an aristocratic family being reduced to being on the streets.

I don’t approve of your divorce. I’ve kept telling you not to get a divorce for so many times while you turn a deaf ear to it. Well, I’m too old to discipline you but Tommy must stay in the Chambers family. No one is gonna take Tommy unless I die.”

Ophelia’s eyes flashed with pain.

“Mrs. Chambers...”

“Stop it. I don’t have a daughter-in-law like you. All these days I’ve been telling you to think about it and not to get divorced. What a double-faced woman you are to agree overtly but oppose covertly. Well, now that you insist on a divorce and disdain to being the daughter-in-law of the Chambers family, leave the Chambers family which is too humble a place for such noble you.”

Mrs. Chambers was really angry now.

As she said, she liked Ophelia. However, what Ophelia did these days broke her heart. She didn’t think Zachariah’s cheating on Ophelia was not unforgivable. There were numerous couples who pretended to love each other in aristocratic families. Both spouses have several lovers respectively. However, they still wanted to maintain the marriage and keep their spouses.

Hence, when she found out that Zachariah was with Cora who she came back from abroad, she didn’t try to interfere even though she was not comfortable with it. She could turn a blind eye to that as long as Cora didn’t try to be the daughter-in-law of the Chambers family. She thought it’s quite normal for men to flirt with women outside. The daughter-in-law of an aristocratic family who boasted the status and wealth which couldn’t be imagined by ordinary people should be open-minded about it. How could Ophelia be a noble lady if she had no tolerance?

She had always saw Ophelia as a sensible girl but she had never expected her to be so bad-tempered that she even wanted to get a divorce. She was very disappointed so she stopped being friendly to her but was very hard on her. lightnoveldaily.com
