“He has work to do. I can’t force him to stay by my side at all time, right? If he clings to my side, who would be the breadwinner?”
“You’re right.” The driver then laughed, “Well, but judged by your look and educated manner, your husband should be also a prestigious and rich gentleman.”
Ophelia just smiled, “He could just manage to earn enough to support our family.”
“Come on, I have seen so many people since I served as a taxi driver. Only few of them looked the same gorgeous and well-mannered like you. And I can tell that you must be born in a decent family as well.”
Ophelia only replied with a smile.
The driver didn’t seem to get sullen of her cold response. He just kept speaking himself all the way through. Hearing his lively talk, Ophelia seemed to feel a bit better.
The driver drove into the Chambers Mansion and then he said, “Miss, here you are.”
Ophelia took out a hundred buck in her bag and handed it to the driver, “Keep the change.”
The driver took the money and said, “Miss, wish you happy and sound whatever you might encounter in the future.”
Ophelia then smiled, “Thank you, sir. You too.”
As she got off the taxi, she entered the mansion. As soon as she stepped into the parlor, Helena, who was sitting there, immediately stood up in surprise, “Ophelia, when did you discharge from the hospital? I have even planned to cook you something delicious and bring it to you. Girl, you really make me worried. You should tell me about it even if you want to get out of the hospital.”
Ophelia held her hand, “Helena, don’t be worried. The doctor told me that I was fine. So I discharged myself.”
Helena patted her hand gently and then made the cook get something tasty for Ophelia to eat. Then she led her to sit on the sofa while holding her hand still.
“Ophelia, you don’t look good. Are you still feeling sick?” Helena asked concernedly.
Ophelia smiled, “Helena, I am fine. Perhaps it was just because of carsickness.”
Helena looked at Savannah in annoyance, who was going downstairs, “Savannah, stop talking nonsense.”
Savannah sat on the sofa beside and cast a scornful glimpse at Ophelia, “Mom, do you deem it nonsense? She actually had an affair with her boss and she still dared to fool you. She has been the most unashamed woman I have ever seen in my life. But you still value her so much? Have you ever seen anyone else in our family who even cast her a glimpse of favor before? At least for me, she makes me feel disgusting ever since I saw her face.”
Ophelia looked a bit sullen.
Meanwhile, Helena was even a bit irritated, “Savannah, if you kept talking about rumor, just get out of the house.”
Savannah looked at her, aggrieved, “Mom, do you get bewitched by her? You even choose to defend her and accuse me for that? I really doubt if I were adopted only. Perhaps she is your real daughter.”
“Savannah!”
Savannah said with an aggrieved face, “Mom, do you still deem me wrong? Before she married my brother, you have never refused any request of mine. You treasured me as the apple in your eyes only. However, ever since she married Zachariah, you turn to be so different! Think about it, how many times have you ever accused me just for the sake of her? I couldn’t help doubting if she were your daughter while I were an outsider only.”
