Madeleine pouted after read the text message, and said, “Rich people like to show off. He is the same style as your husband.”
Ophelia just smiled.
The two of them casually dressed up and took the elevator downstairs together. Ophelia got into the car Madeleine bought, Madeleine thoughtfully fastened the seat belt for her, and then said to her stomach, “Sweetie, your godmother is going to eat with your mom, and do you have something you want to eat? If you do, just tell your mom with your mind, I will take her there. You’re the boss now, then your mother, I’m at the bottom of the line.”
Ophelia didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh.
“Let’s go.”
Madeleine then sat back, put on the seat belt, and said, “Sweetie, I’m going to drive now, and I’ll take you to a good meal.”
Ophelia looked at Madeleine’s driving posture and said, “Madeleine, why don’t you have a baby early yourself since you like children so much? You’re such an eye-catcher, if you really want to fall in love, there are men waiting in line for you. Just don’t deal with those letters all day long and waste your beautiful years of life.”
Madeleine gave her a look and said, “Stop! My dear, my goal is to make more money and then raise the baby with you. Of course, I do not want you to divorce, just prepare for a rainy day. With more money in the bank card, women still can live a good life without men. The only people or thing in the world who won't betray me are you, the little one, the money in my card, my family. As for the rest, it's really hard to say.”
Ophelia frowned and said, “I have to say something to you if you think that way.”
Madeleine gave in, “Alright, alright, my mistake. But calling you to say I might be in love is just a momentary adrenaline rush. You know, when people get excited, their heads just go blank, and then they’ll say something irrational. Just forget about that and don’t pair me up with my boss. He and I are simply from different worlds. You'll have to take it easy when you see him later.”
Ophelia looked at her with a funny look and said, “Madeleine, is that a reminder that your relationship with him is actually not as simple as you say?”
Madeleine shut up immediately.
Sometimes having a smart bestie was not always a good thing.
Ophelia stopped teasing her and just said, “Madeleine, I get it. I will not interfere with your relationship, just as you will never interfere with my marriage indiscriminately. If you want to be with him, I’ll be happy for you, but if you don’t, I’ll always be on your side.”
Madeleine was touched. She turned her head to look at Ophelia. When the four eyes met, they didn’t need to say anything at all.
They chose to meet at a Chinese restaurant. The place was very old-fashioned, and the ladies in cheongsam were all tall and beautiful with fair skin.
“It seems that Zachariah still has some conscience. Although he had another woman in his heart, he still knows that you are his wife and did not quite embarrass you. Otherwise, I would want to kick his ass.” Madeleine said meaningfully.
Ophelia was amused and shook her head. She couldn't help but defend Zachariah a little, “Apart from not being able to give me his heart, he is quite nice to me, giving me enough respect, the best food, clothing, shelter and an unlimited black card. If I wasn't too greedy, I would have been more comfortable than other noblewomen, only I was too unsatisfied and wanted his heart after having a rich life. Yet there are not so many perfect things in this world.”
Madeleine pouted, “Darling, why deny yourself? You are in love with him, so naturally, you want to monopolize him, what is wrong with that? You’re so generous. If I were you, I’ll break his leg if he dares to cheat on me.”
Ophelia just smiled.
Madeleine touched her nose. She just blurted out. If she fell in love with someone who cheated on her when she loved him the most, maybe she would be heartbroken, instead of breaking his legs.
She claimed to be a celibatarian, but in fact, she was still quite longing for love, and hoping that her Mr. Right can appear a little earlier. It's just that when she wished for love for too long, she slowly became numb.
There was a knock at the door and Madeleine raised her voice and said, “Come in.”
