Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 428

Helena sighed and walked to Phelia. Then she said weakly, "Ophelia, I knew what Savannah did had hurt your feelings, but I chose to hide it, thinking that she's my daughter. She wouldn't understand me, but I think you will, will you?"

Ophelia could understand, but she just couldn't forgive her.

"Helena, I'm not blaming you."

"Then don't leave us. Tommy was still young and was very fussy at night. You wouldn't be able to take care of him alone without the help. Madeleine hasn't been married yet, and she hadn't taken care of any kids, either. He will exhaust you two!"

Madeleine interrupted at proper timing, "Don't worry, I've already hired a nanny. We can trust her because a friend introduced her to us."

Helena took a look at Madeleine and said, "I like you, Madeleine, for standing with Ophelia no matter what happened. I'm begging you this time... help me to persuade Ophelia."

Madeleine was torn.

Helena was someone Madeleine respected. She was graceful, wise, gentle, generous, and considerate. Helena almost had all the best qualified that a woman could have. Madeleine felt it hard not to like her.

Ophelia opened his mouth and helped Madeleine out. She said, "I'm just going to stay there for a few days. I'll come back with Tommy when I come around."

Seeing how determined Ophelia was, Helena became rarely firmer, "No, I disagree. You're still recovering, and Tommy is only one-month-old. You are too young to take care of the kid alone. So I have to say no."

"Mom, let me go if you really treat me as your daughter. I promise you I'll come back as soon as I come around. I know you treat me with sincerity, but I just can't see you right now. The more I respect you, the harder I feel to accept that you've covered for the murderer who tried to kill Tommy and me.

Helena fell in silence.

In the end, she agreed that Ophelia could stay in Madeleine's place for a few days.

The maid helped Ophelia pack her things. Helena was still a bit anxious and told Ophelia, "I knew you're in a bad mood. It's OK if you want to take a few days to relax. Just don't leave for too long, or I'd be sad."

Ophelia nodded.

Helena hugged Tommy and walked Ophelia to the car door. The two maids helped them to put the luggage in the trunk.

Helena felt worried and told them a few more things. Then she added, "I'll just pretend that you're on vacation, but don't let yourself and Tommy get starved. Come back when you come through, or I'd be very sad."

Ophelia nodded.

Helena said to Zach, standing behind her, "Say something to Ophelia."

Helena thoughtfully pulled Madeleine and the others back a few steps, trying to make room for the couple.

"Are you sure about this, honey?"

The driver started the car deftly. Seeing the car driving away, Zack stood there with a grim face. No one knew what he had in his mind.

Steffan patted Zach on the shoulder and said, "Give her some time."

Zach didn't react.

Helena said, "Let's get in. We'll go to see her in days. After all, we've crossed the line this time. I understand she made that decision."

Steffan nodded.

Helena said to Zach, "Just get in, son. You can go to see her days later when she quiets down. Humble yourself and sweet talk her. She'll come around."

Seeing the car disappearing in his sight, Zach suddenly said, "Mom, I've got things to do in the company. I got to go now." After that, he got in a car and drove away momentarily.

Helena watched the car leave and sighed, "Why are we having so many troubles recently? Savannah is getting more and more unreasonable, and Ophelia was almost alienated from us because of Anne's accident. I seriously had no idea what was in Zach's mind now. They've grown up, and I felt I'm losing control of them."

Steffan put his arms around her shoulder and said, "Don't overthink about it. They'll have their own blessings. Ophelia would finally understand your love for her."

"I hope so."
