Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 165 Promise

Ophelia smiled reluctantly and said, “Nothing. She just let me tell you that she and your secretary went to the maternity checkup today, and said the child is very healthy. She also said that you and she will soon get married. Congratulations, Mr. Chambers! I will not show up at your wedding, it’s quite inappropriate that your ex-wife appeared at your wedding.”

Zachariah looked at her, “You don’t have to be serious about what she said. Even if we divorce, I will take care of you and the child, and you will never be troubled by money.”

Ophelia lay on the bed, her hand couldn't help but grab Zachariah's hand, looking at him sincerely, “Mr. Chambers, no matter what happens to us in the future, I am grateful to you for helping me in my most difficult time. Although we’re bond by money, you are also my lifesaver.”

Zachariah looked right into her eyes.

Ophelia smiled lightly. She looked fragile and pitiful by lying on the hospital bed without makeup, and her sincere words immediately hit Zachariah's heart.

Zachariah found that he was getting softer and softer towards Ophelia.

He couldn't help but reach out and caress her head, changing the subject, “Tired?”

Ophelia rubbed her cheek against his hand and said, “Mr. Chambers, will you be there for me tonight? Our child and I need you.”

Zachariah put his hand over her eyes and said, “Sleep, I'll stay with you today and bring you home tomorrow.”

Ophelia was somewhat satisfied and patted the empty space beside her and said, “Mr. Chambers, up here.”

Zachariah got up, originally wanted to climb into bed, but did not expect his phone to ring at this very inappropriate time.

He took out and took a look, and his face changed slightly but soon returned to normal. He looked at Ophelia and said, “I'm going out to take this, I'll be right back.”

Ophelia instantly guessed who this phone call was from. She was somewhat lost because she was afraid Zachariah would not be able to stay here overnight as long as it was Cora.

Every time her relationship with Zachariah eased up a bit, Cora got involved, constantly reminding her that she's just a substitute.

Ophelia directly covered the quilt and did not answer Zachariah.

Zachariah glanced at her, then took his phone and left the ward.

He picked up the phone outside the house and said, “Cora, how’s today’s checkup?”

“Zachariah, the doctor said the baby is well, but you, you blew me off twice today, I’m a little pissed. How are you going to make it up to me?”

Cora pretended that she was angry and pouting.

Zachariah said patiently and softly, “It’s good that you and the baby are fine. It’s getting late, you go to bed early, and I’ll go check up on you tomorrow morning.”

Cora said with some disappointment on the other side of the phone, “Zachariah, aren't you coming over now?”

“I’m not going tonight, I still got work to do. Be good, go to bed early, it's good for you, and for the baby.”

There was suddenly no sound on the other side of the phone, almost ten seconds or so, then Cora’s voice came, chocking, “Haven't you noticed that you are getting more and more isolated to me?” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Zachariah was stunned for a moment and said as gently as he could, “Cora, good girl, I have not changed my mind about you, I’m only a little busy this period of time.”

“Zachariah, I am a woman, women are suspicious and sensitive, especially to the man she loves. When I left the country right before our wedding in spite of your feelings, that’s my fault, but I also regret it. This time I left everything abroad to come back home just to be with you, can you feel it?”

Zachariah said, “Cora, I'm just busy with work. I will take the time to take you abroad for a vacation.”

“When? Give me a specific time. You have blown me off several times, I will be upset even I understand you. Your attitude towards me is changing too fast, which makes me very disappointed.”

Cora was tired of pretending and directly showed her tough side.

Zachariah frown. He was very macho and was used to women being submissive to him, except for the woman he loved, of course. He can tolerate his beloved woman’s occasional capricious pampering. But as she said, he was not as tolerant of her as he was at the beginning, and he didn’t know since when he didn't have the strong desire for her that he thought he did.

Perhaps, his feelings for Cora were just a seeking excitement. Men believed that the woman they could never get was always the best.

“Cora, be good. When I’m not that busy, I will take time to take you on a vacation abroad.”

Cora cried on the other side of the phone, with heartache in her voice, “Zachariah, you always told me to be good, fine, I’ll be good. But it doesn’t mean you can ignore me. I was born into a wealthy family, and my education and ability are no worse than anyone else's, but I'm willing to be a shady mistress for

you, and now I'm even pregnant with your child. I just want a promise from you, is this really that difficult?”
