Chapter 58 Show Some Respect
Chapter 58 Show Some Respect
Zachariah was not so happy and said in a deep voice, “Mom, father say that he has booked two tickets to Canada. You guys have fun together, and I'll pay for all the expenses.”
Helena waved her hand and said, “Zachariah, I won't interfere in your personal life. But I want you to know who is the most important to you, and who is the one caring about you. Or, you will regret for what you have done later.”
Zachariah was her son and she could tell that he loved Ophelia; maybe even he himself didn't realize it. She was worried that he didn't know his true feelings. He might think that he loved Cora instead of Ophelia, though Cora once betrayed him and Ophelia had been with him for four years.
Sometimes, men were bastards. They never treasured the women with him but always thought about the women who had hurt them. Nothing was more precious than the women they couldn't get. But when that woman came back and stayed with him, he would know that he didn't love her. It was just his unwillingness to give up.
Zachariah sat down and changed the topic, “Mom, have you had breakfast?”
Helena was really angry this time, so she said in a cold tone, “No. I'm too angry to eat anything.”
Ophelia handed Helena a piece of apple and laughed, “Mom, Zachariah went to the company for something urgent. You are his elder, so he won't say anything to you. But I'm his wife and I won't be so lucky. How about you just spare him for the sake of me?” Helena was amused by her.
“Don't you know what I have said just now is for you?”
“Mom, you're the best mother-in-law I have even seen. Just spare him for me, Okay?” Only then did Helena become happier.
Helena looked at Zachariah and said in a deep tone, “Zachariah, I am not an unreasonable mom and won’t interfere with your marriage. But I hope you can feel with your heart. Then, you can see who is really good to you at that time. Don't be impulsive, or you will regret it.”
Zachariah just listened to his mother. quietly. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
When Helena saw him like this, she could only sigh.
Zachariah and Ophelia went back to their apartment in the downtown after having lunch at Chambers Mansion.
As soon as they entered the apartment, Zachariah walked to the sofa and sat down, staring at Ophelia with a sullen face.
Ophelia walked over with a smile and said, “Are you angry with me, Mr. Chambers?”
Zachariah glanced at her and said in a deep voice, “Did Cora call me yesterday?”
Ophelia nodded and told the truth, “Yes. Did Miss Fletcher say something bad about me?”
Zachariah seemed to be angrier, “Ophelia, how dare you! You not only answered my call, but also deleted the record. If anything happened to Cora yesterday, I will make you suffer.”
Ophelia said with a smile, “Mr. Chambers, could you please accuse me later, after you know about what happened? Miss Fletcher called and I told her that you were having a shower. And I asked her to call you later. Then she just hung up without saying anything. I really didn't know what she said to you.”
Zachariah frowned, “You really said that only?”
“Or what else would you expect me to say?”
Zachariah's stares made Ophelia anxious.
“You left Chambers Mansion in a hurry yesterday, and didn't answer my phone. I know that you only cared about Miss Fletcher. But as your contracted wife, could you please at least answer my call?”
“Yesterday, Cora was pestered by gangsters. If I were one minute later, she might have been...” Zachariah wanted to say something but stopped.
Ophelia said with a mocking smile, “So, you rushed to save the beauty last night? Since the beauty was saved, did you have a beautiful night with her? Will you talk to me about our divorce now?”
Zachariah frowned and looked at her with annoyance, “Ophelia, show me some respect.”
Ophelia's smile disappeared and she said seriously, “Okay, I will shut up, since you don't want me to say anything.”
Zachariah stood up and leaned closer with his tall figure. He cupped her chin and said, “Ophelia, you should have some self-consciousness. Don't try to get things not belonging to you. Don't answer the phone calls from Cora again. And don't delete my phone records. Otherwise, you will be punished.”
Ophelia felt her heart ached, but she still said with a smile, “You are really cruel, Mr. Chambers. I have been your wife for four years anyway. Yes, our marriage is just an agreement. But even if I'm a dog, you should show some mercy to me after four years. I didn't expect you to be so heartless. In that case, I will just stay away from your business. I feel depressed, so I will go out for a walk. I won't be back tonight.”
After that, Ophelia took her bag and walked towards the door.
But the next second, Zachariah grabbed her wrist to stop her.
