When Zachariah lowered his head and kissed Ophelia's forehead, then her nose, then her lips, and then when he was about to go down, Ophelia's cell phone, which was thrown in her bag on the other side of the bed, rang.
Ophelia said, “Mr. Chambers, my phone.”
Zachariah continued to kiss her. She was only distracted for a while and then sank into it. But they did not expect the phone to ring and stop, stop and ring again. She then pushed Zachariah and said, “Mr. Chambers, my phone.”
A flash of annoyance in Zachariah’s eyes. He bit her neck with optimal strength and deliberately said, “Call me sweetheart and I’ll go get your phone.”
Ophelia gave him a strange look, and Zachariah raised his eyebrows, “No? Then let's continue.”
Ophelia listened to the ringing bell that continued to ring and called him sweetheart from the goodness of her heart.
Zachariah raised his hand and patted her before getting off of her and said, “I’ll make you suffer later.” He then went to get the phone.
When Zachariah saw the name displayed on the phone, the smile on his face receded a little and he directly hung up the phone.
“Mr. Chambers, who is it?”
“Wrong number.”
Ophelia did not pay much attention to this. Zachariah wanted to put the phone back, but the phone rang again. Ophelia gave him a strange look, reached for the phone, and said, “Mr. Chambers, I think I’ll probably answer the wrong number, and save you from getting angry.”
Zachariah just glanced at her and picked up the phone.
A soft voice rang out on the other end of the line, “Ophelia, did you get home?”
Zachariah’s eyes slightly narrowed. This man was quite persistent, chasing his woman.
“Mr. Conduibh, you’d better go to bed if you’re boring. You're an unmarried man and call my wife in the middle of the night, I have the right to sue you for harassment of my wife. You know that, right?”
Tassach said, his voice changed, “Mr. Chambers, you are thinking too much. Since you have arrived home safely, I'll leave you alone and hang up.”
Zachariah said, “Wait, don't hang up so quickly. Don't you want to know what Ophelia and I are doing now?”
With that, Zachariah kissed Ophelia heavily on her face, with a voice loud enough to reach the other side of the phone.
Tassach's voice finally changed a bit, “Mr. Chambers, don't you think it's a bit childish to do that?”
Tassach was the first time eavesdropping on other people's sex, even through the phone. His face was pale, the blue veins exposed on his hand holding the phone. Zachariah and Ophelia’s voices still kept coming over the phone, but it sounded so harsh in Tassach's ears.
Tassach did not hang up the phone as if he had OCD until he heard Zachariah's coarse voice saying, “Honey, say you love me the most and you won't fall in love with any man but me.”
Ophelia was spellbound, “Honey, I love you so much, I love you more than anyone in this world.”
“Be good, and I will make you the happiest woman in the world.”
...
Tassach hung up the phone straight away.
The corner of his eye glanced at the phone which had been darkened down, a flash of amusement appeared in his eyes.
When everything was over, Ophelia was exhausted and lay in Zachariah’s arms. After the aftermath, her sanity slowly returned and she slowly remembered that they didn't seem to hang up the phone while they were having sex.
Ophelia glared at Zachariah grumpily and said, “Mr. Chambers, you did it on purpose, didn't you?”
