Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 317 Unexpected Sweet Words from Zachariah

Madeleine replied, “Girl, don’t worry. I won’t make things tough as long as he is nice to you. I still view your feelings as the priority.”

Ophelia patted on her shoulder and said, “I know you do this for me.”

Madeleine shrugged and teased, “Girl, but even I am your bestie, Zachariah still outweighs me from your perspective. You are totally on his side and don’t even intend to defend me. You would upset me if you keep doing so.”

Ophelia replied with an awkward smile.

Madeleine walked over to take her arm and smiled, “Come on, girl, I was just joking. I will be your sous chef while you are cooking. When you finish cooking, I will leave. I know Zachariah is a chauvinistic guy. He knows nothing about cooking. So he would only make troubles if you make him deal with those trifles. What’s more, you are still pregnant. It must be exhausting for you to cook so many dishes on your own.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Ophelia was moved and smiled to replied, “Just stay for dinner. You see. We’ve bought so much food.”

Madeleine looked into the kitchen and said, “No, I don’t think the food would taste good if I stay as a third wheel. Besides, don’t you see the way he looks at me? He feels like tearing me apart. I can tell he really hates me being here. But I will revenge myself if he asks me for help for your sake someday. That should be quite a lot of joy for me.”

Ophelia couldn’t help chuckling.

Her bestie had been at odds with Zachariah for almost five years even though Ophelia had tried to intervene. They still never stopped bickering every time they met.

Perhaps that was a live show of ‘Tom and Jerry’.

“Well, I am afraid you won’t have the change to revenge yourself. I don’t think he will ask you for help for my sake. It would be more credible if he did this for Cora.” Said Ophelia casually.

Madeleine shrugged, “Who knows. You have married him for almost five years. I don’t think that you still remain cold to you. After all, he is a man.”

Ophelia paused for a while.

Of course she knew Zachariah was a man, a man who was also driven by passion when having sex with her. However, besides that, she seldom spent romantic time together with him during all these years. Zachariah offered her nothing but abundant material support for her daily life. He seldom showed care about her. Even Ophelia was confused by herself for loving Zachariah, such a guy who showed no talent in romance. When she noticed she fell in love with him, she was totally intoxicated.

Because of love, she highly valued his attitude. Also because of love, she was rendered excited but also agitated when she was aware that she got pregnant with his baby—she got thrilled because it was the fruit of love between her and Zachariah, but she got agitated because she was afraid if Zachariah would ask her for an abortion.

She had kept complicated feelings for her relationship with Zachariah perhaps out of their unmentionable intentions at the very beginning. So she had been trapped in a sense of insecurity during the marriage. She would fuss about even a mere trifle.

After rinsing those food, Zachariah washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen. Madeleine took a look at him and said, “Mr. Chambers, how do you like living in the hospital? I thought you were so enchanted by your little mistress that you would forget about your wife.”

Zachariah only replied with a glimpse and ignored her.

He walked over to Ophelia’s front and sat down. Then he gently stroked her belly and whispered, “Did he annoy you these days?”

Ophelia slightly lifted the corner of her lips and smiled, “The baby does behave himself during these days. He didn’t do anything naughty. Perhaps he is also aware that he needs to protect his mommy when daddy is away.”

Zachariah said to her with great tenderness, looking sentimental, “I miss you so much.”

Ophelia was rendered burning blushed. Though Zachariah was stingy about sweet words, he would always hit her in the depth of her heart once he started a sweet talk.

While Madeleine, who was standing beside, couldn’t help getting goose bumps.

She said while rubbing her hands, “Mr. Chambers, I know you are good at flirting. But could you please be a bit more restrained while having someone else standing by?”

Zachariah took a look at her and said, “You can open the door and leave by yourself.”

For Madeleine, it was just a common routine of being expelled by Zachariah.

“Well, the more you want to drive me away, the more I would like to stay. Sorry, I kinda enjoy being a third wheel.” Said Madeleine in a provocative tone.

Zachariah only responded with silence.

Ophelia was a bit embarrassed as she was afraid if they would start a quarrel again. However, Zachariah suddenly uttered unexpectedly, “I won’t waste my time on arguing with someone importunate. It does nothing good but only puts a shame on my decent manner.”

Ophelia was a bit surprised then she took a look at Madeleine.

While Madeleine actually sneered, “The same to me. Everybody says that Mr. Chambers has been well-known for his elegance and decent manners. But I don’t think so. You don’t even seem to be a match for Ophelia.”

Zachariah still remained calm and composed. He turned to say to Ophelia, “It’s time for dinner. We haven’t spent time together cooking, right? Let me cook some dishes for you.”

Ophelia was really stunned this time when hearing that.

“Mr. Chambers, I have never expected you to cook. So surprising!”

For Ophelia, it was also her first time to know that as she had never seen him cooking since they got married. She hadn’t even seen him walking into the kitchen before.
