Chapter 548 The End As time flew for the past five years, Zachariah had largely expanded overseas markets in different countries ever since he made himself a workaholic. And today he needed to go on a business trip in Country Q. The conference went on smoothly during his meeting with a promising client. Once the contract was done, the business empire of the Chambers would reach another level. After the conference, he was talking a walk along the beach. But he happened to see a crying kid there. The little girl looked pitiful while slumping onto the beach and crying for mommy. As Zachariah passed by, she clung to the edge of his pants, calling him daddy. Speechless, Zachariah stopped to hold her up, wondering where were her parents. Then he took her to a police office nearby. While holding the girl into his arms, he in surprise found that she looked a bit alike Ophelia, especially her eyes and brows. Feeling a bit stunned, he started to have an idea. As he reached the police office, he told the police about how he met this girl. Then the police officer managed to contact her mother. Zachariah kept himself waiting for her mother to come to pick her up. The little girl seemed to like him. She kept calling him daddy while grabbing his hand. Confused, he asked, “Why do you call me daddy?” The girl replied, “Because mommy has shown me the picture. | know you are daddy!” Driven by surprise, he kept talking with her. Then he learned her name—Tilly. Chambers! Her last name was also Chambers! When he was still lost in thought, someone entered the police office. A lady in office suit walked over. As she approached, her face was getting more and more clear to him.
Soon, Zachariah collected himself. “Ophelia!” his voice was mixed with undisguised excitement.
While the lady was also wearing a dumbfounded expression. She had never expected to meet Zachariah right over here. Then they walked out of the police office, both feeling bothered by a bunch of questions. “| wanna know what was going on after you left? Ophelia, you shouldn't keep me in the dark. If | am not mistaken, Tilly must be my daughter, right?” Zachariah was the first to utter. The more he looked at Tilly, the more he noticed that she not only looked alike Ophelia, but also himself. Besides, he learned a lot about Tilly from the talk with her just now. She was now four years old, which meant that Ophelia gave birth to her five years ago. What was more, she said she had never seen her daddy ever since she was born. Her only knowledge about her daddy came from a picture, while the man in which looked the same as Zachariah. So he believed that Tilly must be his daughter. Apparently, now Ophelia could no longer figure out any excuse to fool this man of intelligence. So she told him everything, from her sudden departure because of blindness to her luck to get away from the air crash. As she finished, she let out a sigh, “| found myself pregnant with your baby once again when | reached here. | don’t have the heart to abort it...So | gave birth to Tilly.” Zachariah was shocked when hearing that. But meanwhile, he was still overjoyed. “Ophelia, you keep me waiting for so long. Do you have any idea about how much I miss you for all these years?” said Zachariah, feeling like grumbling. Ophelia was rendered guilty, “Sorry, I didn’t mean that.” Actually, she had thought about returning home for Zachariah when her eyes recovered. However, she worried if Zachariah had grown some grudge against her because of her sudden departure for years.
“Where are you living? Let me drive you home.” He suggested. So Ophelia showed him her way home. After noticing Madeleine, Ophelia led him into the house. Tommy was getting thrilled when seeing his father again. This little boy had grown much height during these years. Then the talk between father and son begun. Madeleine was quite surprised to know that they actually met once again. She beckoned Ophelia over to have a talk in the corner, “So what are you gonna do?” Ophelia shook her head to reply, “I have no idea.” Madeleine asked, “Do you still love him?” Ophelia nodded. “Then just return to his side!” But Ophelia shook her head again, “It has been five years. I worry if he has got into another relationship already.” Hearing that, Madeleine took a look at Zachariah, who was having fun playing with his kids. She deemed it necessary to have a talk with him. As time flew, the Christmas eve was coming. Madeleine proposed having a union party at home. So Ophelia got off work a bit earlier than before to return home. Out of her expectation, she actually saw Zachariah holding a bunch of roses as soon as she entered. She was being too surprise to figure out what he was planning. Zachariah took a step forward to kneel on one knee, “Ophelia, I got something to tell you. Please listen to me till I finish.” Standing still, she felt like being shocked. Of course, she could tell what was in his mind. But she still found it hard to believe it. Zachariah then continued, “Ophelia, I have been missing you so much for the past five years. And I swear to God no one has ever touched the bottom of my heart but you only. I thought I was gonna end
up being alone for the rest of my life. But thank God, I am fortunate enough to meet you again.” “Ophelia, can we be like the old days? I don’t wanna be idling any more. All I want is to be with you.” Hearing that, Ophelia was moved. “You haven’t changed your mind for all these years?” she asked. As soon as she finished, Zachariah hurried forward to hug her tight. “Ophelia, you’re the only one I love the most! Why dont you believe me?” “I miss you...1 miss you so much... wanna know if you feel the same for me...” His voice still sounded husky, mixed with sentiment he had been trying to hold back. Tears welled up in her eyes. She no longer wanna fool herself again, “Me the same. I miss you so much...” Actually, when her eyes were about to recover, she deemed that she should come back to Zachariah. And she really felt like doing so. However, she was still bothered by worry—she was afraid if Zachariah would hate her for her disappearing for so long. Or perhaps he had found himself an alternative of her. It had never occurred to her that he actually came to her on his own will. For the past five years, she started to realize how stupid her decision once was. She still loved him and so did he. Nothing was impossible whenever there was strong faith of love between each other. Actually, she had regretted leaving Zachariah long ago. “Zachariah, I love you. I miss you every single day even though we havent talk to each other for all these years. I am so sorry for what I’ve done before. I shouldn’t have left you alone because of the illness of my eyes, while totally ignoring your feeling. Now I really regret doing so. Love means to stick together with each other. Zachariah, could you forgive me?” Ophelia confessed. He fell a kiss on her forehead. After waiting for all these years, he finally reached the day of reunion, “I forgive you. Everything is over. Ophelia, now I ask for nothing but to be with you.” Ophelia smiled, “Would you fancy having a wedding again?”
Zachariah entwined his fingers with hers, “Of course!” Meanwhile, both Carson and Madeleine smiled while peeking at them.
Actually, Madeleine had talked to Zachariah before. She could tell he still deeply loved Ophelia. That was why he had been single for the past five years. So she agreed to let him stay for this chance to win Ophelia’s heart once again. Besides, she even played her part to suggest Zachariah to do this love confession at Christmas eve and also to resolve all the misunderstandings between them in the past.
Now Ophelia finally regained what she had been longing for. For Madeleine herself, she felt really pleased.
A few days later, Ophelia went back home with Zachariah for their wedding. Both Tommy and Tilly returned to their family as a whole.
Meanwhile, the wedding of Carson and Madeleine had been put on schedule. And they made it on the beach.
On the day of wedding, they made their vow of love to each other.
Moved, Ophelia felt like shedding happy tears. She looked at Zachariah, “After all these we have been through, I haven’t even vowed for you.”
Zachariah fixed her caring gaze at Ophelia, ready to listen.
Ophelia vowed affectionately, “Zachariah, I love you.”
He smiled to reply and kissed gently on her forehead. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
