Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 24 Flesh and blood

Zachariah seemed touched and slowly loosened his grip on the chin of Ophelia, “Don't ever get too close to other men without my permission.”

Ophelia was leaning on Zachariah’s bosom like a snake and answered, “Mr. Chambers, are you sure you are not jealous now.”

Zachariah looked at her for a while, and then said plainly, “Just sit still. I need to drive now.”

Ophelia smirked and suddenly gave him a series of kisses on his cheeks, grinning, “Mr. Chambers, how about we doing something in the car?”

Ophelia’s words seemed triggered something inside Zachariah, his eyes aggressively fixed on her, like a beast hunting for his prey. However, he soon calmed down and said with a cold voice, “Sit down, and stop seducing me.”

Ophelia curled her lips and murmured, “Mr. Chambers, you have changed, not as romantic as before.” She then took her seat and buckled up the seat belt.

As they arrived home, Zachariah received a call and was informed that the team leader sent by their partner from abroad had arrived at T City and he needed to greet the team leader in person.

He said to the other end of the phone, “Well, book the tickets for 8 a.m. tomorrow, and I need you to go with me to T City.”

Then he hung up the phone and said to Ophelia, “I need to go on a business trip tomorrow. We will talk about the divorce after I come back.”

After that, Zachariah unfastened the seat belt, opened the door and left Ophelia alone in the car.

Ophelia let out a sigh. She still got hope in her heart that Zachariah actually love her since he was delaying their divorce again and again. If there was a chance, she would try anything possible to defend her marriage.

“Why are you still inside? Hurry up, and get out of the car.” The words of Zachariah brought Ophelia back to reality. He stood not far from the car, looking at her.

Ophelia lifted the corner of her lips, and thought to herself, 'Zachariah, I'm your wife, and you are my husband. I won't just give up and surrender you to Cora as long as I could still feel the love of you.'

Then, she unfastened the belt, got off the car and stepped towards Zachariah. She naturally held his arm, just like a couple in love with a smiling face, “Mr. Chambers, are you missing me now.”

Zachariah gave her a blank look as a response to her flattering, and said coldly, “I will leave for business tomorrow. As my wife, Go and pack my luggage.”

Ophelia seemed delighted to see Zachariah being so pushy about her. Then, she said, “I am such a good wife. How about pack me up and bring m with you tomorrow?”

“I'm leaving for business, not on vacation. Stay at home, and I will be back after everything is done.” said Zachariah.

Ophelia had no choice but to make compromise. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

The next day, Zachariah got up earlier than usual, but not as early as Ophelia. She got up before five o'clock to prepare breakfast for Zachariah.

After Zachariah finished his breakfast, Ophelia handed over the briefcase and luggage to him, and said, “Take care! And do not drink too much at business gatherings. Though the condition of your stomach is getting better, it doesn't mean that you can drink to your heart’s content.”

With a complicated expression on his face, Zachariah looked at Ophelia, nodding his head and left.

Ophelia closed the door and was about to clean up the tableware scattering on the table.

Suddenly, a strong feeling of sickness came to her, and she rushed to the bathroom on the first floor.

The morning sickness caused by her pregnancy made her shattered, both mentally and physically. She stroked her tummy tenderly, and said softly, “My dear, it seems obvious to you that in this house the only one who cares about you is me, isn't it?”

Since she had been diagnosed pregnant for three months, Ophelia was always wondering if the existence of baby could change Zachariah’s mind. The baby needed a father, as much as she needed a husband.

While if Zachariah really thought that their four-year marriage meant nothing compared to Cora who had once betrayed him? She would choose to leave and bring up the baby alone.

When Ophelia was cleaning up the table, Madeleine called her, “Ophelia, you are schedule for prenatal examination today. Shall we go now?”

“Get ready and I will pick you soon.”

“Fine!”

After hanging up the phone, Ophelia changed into newly-bought skirt, wore a pair of flat cotton shoes and went out without any make-up.

Not long after, Ophelia arrived at the neighborhood Madeleine lived, and she was waiting for her downstairs.

After getting into the car and belting herself up, Madeleine said, “It is great that you don’t wear any makeup, or I will be pissed off.

Stroking her tummy Tenderly, Ophelia answered with a smile bubbling from her heart, “It might be the only baby I have in my life. I will do anything possible to keep it.”

Madeleine sneered, “Come on! As long as you have money, you can have as many children as you like.”

Ophelia shook her head and said, “Madeleine, you’ve never been in love, and can hardly understand how I feel now. It is the first child for me and Zachariah. No matter how our relationship ends, the baby, as a crystallization of love, will remain. Blood is thicker than water.”
