Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 319 Surrounded by Happiness

Zachariah grabbed her hand and pretended to take a bite, “Huh, you are being bold enough to tease me?”

Ophelia still kept a sweet smile on her face, showing how happy she was at this moment.

Zachariah felt like doting on her even more. He gave another affectionate scratch on her nose and said, “Don’t mention so much about Madeleine when staying with me.”

Ophelia raised up her head to look at him. She said seriously, “Honey, Madeleine is my bestie. She had never left me alone even when I was in my worst period. I have had my friendship with her carved in my mind forever. Could you be a bit more friendly to her for my sake?”

Zachariah only responded with silence.

Seeing that, Ophelia was rendered a bit frustrated. He was indeed nice to her, but to her only.

It was well acknowledged that a true gentleman not only cared about the one he loved, but also everyone else relative to the one he loved—her parents, her family, her relatives and her friends should be all included.

Of course, she agreed on the point that Zachariah did his best to satiate her materially, but he had never got to know more about her life. Nor did he show any friendliness to her friends.

So she couldn’t help wondering if Zachariah treasured her because he only viewed her just as a disposable pet.

Meanwhile, Zachariah also noticed that she looked a bit worried. He pinched her jaw again and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”

Ophelia shook her head to get herself away from the mess lingering in her mind. Then she pretended to be indifferent, “Mr. Chambers, you said you wanted to cook me some dishes, right? Come on, I do want to have a taste. I have never seen you cooking since we got married five years ago.”

Even Ophelia didn’t notice herself that she addressed him with formality again.

Zachariah gave her a strong tug and hug her tight. Then he confirmed, “You must be unhappy.” This time he was not asking, but confirming.

Ophelia still kept a smile on her face, though in which there hidden a trace of alienation.

But that kind of smile seemed to annoy him a bit, which made him feel like being a stranger to her.

He had always been dominant in a relationship. He wanted his lover to focus on him only and to bear no other intentions.

“You are displeased just because I am cold to Madeleine?” Zachariah got straight to the point.

Ophelia still shook her head to deny.

She started to wonder if it was a quite childish way for both of them to be bothered by such problems. For her, it no more mattered whether he would be nice to her friends or her family. Everything would be perfect for her as long as he served as her beloved husband and the loving father of their baby.

After all, they got married out of different purposes instead of love, and thus the relationship was destined to be a bit impure at the beginning. So it would be too demanding to ask him to be friendly to her friends.

Zachariah suddenly huffed strongly, “I don’t like to be kept in the dark.”

Ophelia stared at him, feeling a bit amused by his unexpected serious expression.

“Mr. Chambers, I really hope that both of you can be friendly to each other. After all, you and Madeleine are both the most important ones for me in my life. Actually, my heart always ached a bit when I saw you two arguing every time you met.” While speaking, she pointed at her own chest.

A subtle change seemed to appear in his eyes. He finally compromised, “I will try to be friendly to her, okay?”

Ophelia paused out of surprise. She didn’t expect that Zachariah actually made a compromise for her.

She always deemed him a domineering man who spared no room for compromise. However, he seemed to be a bit more soft-hearted though she failed to notice.

She couldn’t help wondering if it was a mere compromise or a kind of concern about her.

Ophelia’s smile looked brighter than before. Seeing that, Zachariah breathed a sigh of relief, “Are you good now?”

Ophelia responded with a warm hug,

“Mr. Chambers, thank you. Thank you for showing concern about me. Even if I were not your beloved one, I would still appreciate your care during the five years.” Said Ophelia earnestly.

Something subtle appeared in his eyes again. No one knew what was in his mind.

Ophelia smiled beamingly, looking warm.

She covered her belly, pretended to beg, “Mr. Chambers, I am hungry. See? Even the little baby is asking his daddy for food. Hurry up! If you still want to talk to me, just cook me some dishes.”

Zachariah smiled dotingly. Honestly speaking, he didn’t have the heart to show her a cold and repellent face.

He couldn’t help introspecting himself—why did he once misjudge her as a gold digger.

Zachariah went into the kitchen for cooking while Ophelia was assisting.

It was her first time to see him cooking. Not until then did she notice that he was actually outstanding in cooking. His move was quick and adept. It suddenly occurred to her that Zachariah once claimed himself to be inapt in cooking. Nor would he have a try. But now it turned out to be the fact that his claim to be inapt in cooking and his unwillingness were both just excuses—he only wanted to cook for his true beloved one.

Since now Zachariah took the initiative to cook for her, would that be the answer to his change of his feelings for her?Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
