Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 421

The three talked for a while, then Zachariah said, “uncle Owen, I have to take Ophelia to meet other elders.”

“Go ahead.”

Zachariah took Ophelia to meet two more important elders, and then he took her upstairs with the worries that she would be tired.

“Zachariah, let’s go and see Savannah and Mom.” Said Ophelia.

“No, it has taken you so long to socialize with me, so you now go back to room and have a rest. Mom will handle the things about Savannah.”

Ophelia followed him toward the bedroom, but looked at him suspiciously and said, “Zachariah, is there something you have kept from me? Savannah was not having a tour to Korea with her friends, right?”

Zachariah grabbed her possessively with his arm around her waist and kept nudging her toward the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, Zachariah lifted her.

Ophelia gasped slightly and wrapped her arms reflexively around Zachariah’s neck.

Zachariah strode over to the bed and gently laid her on it.

“Zachariah, is there something kept from me?” Ophelia asked as she lay on the bed with her eyes wide open. “You said we should be honest to each other and I don’t want to hear white lies.”

Zachariah leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, saying, “Leave it behind and Savannah just got a mood, which made mom angry. So mom let her go out and live independently. Mom wanted to teach her a lesson, otherwise, she will never realize that she has done something wrong. She should have got a lesson in the past month living alone, so she takes this opportunity to come back home. You keep your mind in peace. Mom will deal with her. What you should do now is to take care of yourself and leave other things behind.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I wouldn’t have to deceive you about something irrelevant, would I?”

Ophelia nodded and did not dwell on the matter.

“I’ll ask Madeleine to stay with you here with Tommy. There are a lot of guests downstairs and I have to go.” Said Zachariah, kissing her on the lips.

Ophelia blinked.

Zachariah lovingly stroked her hair before getting out of the bed.

As Zachariah left the bedroom, Ophelia’s smile faded and a complex emotion flashed through her eyes.

She stared at the ceiling, frustrated, and said, “Zachariah, even though you said you love me, we still couldn’t be honest to each other.”

Madeleine came, holding Tommy, and interrupted Ophelia’s reverie.

Madeleine snapped her fingers and gave Ophelia an admiring look.

“You know me best.” Madeleine said, “Having you as my friend, I am really happy.”

Ophelia gave her a push.

Madeleine got to the point, “Ophelia, honestly, are you a little annoyed about what happened just now about the Fletcher family and Savannah?”

Ophelia gave a wry smile.

“I’d be lying if I say no. Cora really pissed me off. In fact, I really want to rip her off, but I cannot. Zachariah told me that he loves me, but he didn’t tell what he gets a feeling about Cora. After all, she is his first love, who he missed for so many years. If he says he has got her out of his heart, I would not believe it.”

Madeleine propped her hands on the bed, unfazed.

“So what? Ophelia, you’re worrying for nothing. It doesn’t matter who he has in his heart, and what matters is it’s you beside him now. You, Zachariah, and Tommy make a happy family of three. He makes a living for the family, while you’re a housewife. What you need to do is to play with the baby. You’ve got everything you wanted, so you don’t need to be afraid.”

She understood what Madeleine had said, but she was always in a flutter, feeling that the present peace was too unreal, and that at any moment some great conspiracy would break out.

She also hoped that she was thinking too much. But her uneasiness in heart was telling her perhaps she was not thinking much.
