Chapter 65 The Other Woman’s Provocation
Zachariah frowned, but still took Cora into his arms gently and said, "Don’t cry. It was my fault last night. I got drunk and did that, so I’ll be responsible for you."
Cora snuggled up to Zachariah and said, "Zach, you made me so painful last night, but I won’t blame you for that. Ever since our relationship begins, I’m willing to give you my body, but you keep saying you want to save it when we get married. Now that you took my virginity, I’ve really become your woman, and you can never let me down from now on."
Naturally, Zachariah had seen the blood stain on the sheet, and felt tender toward Cora even more. He said gently, "Just rest assured. I won’t let you down. Since you’re my woman, I will never have you suffer wrong again."
Cora smiled smugly but said in a soft voice, "Zach, I don’t want to force you to marry me, but you were overwhelming last night, and I didn’t have the time to use protection. I’m afraid I’ll get pregnant. If I do, I don’t want my baby to be a bastard."
Zachariah looked gloomy. To be honest, he secretly didn’t want to marry Cora. Although he told her he loved her all the time, he didn’t really want to marry her. But he suppressed the idea and thus it didn’t grow stronger. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Zachariah had been in the business world for years. Since he was able to make the Chambers Family’s business booming, clearly, he played his cards well. However, now he kept telling himself that he loved Cora, so he was fooled by her little trick.
"Zach, what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you say anything? Do you think I’m disgracing myself by giving my body to you so you don’t want to marry me anymore? Zach, you know I’m not that kind of person. But if you really don’t want to marry me, I won’t force you. I’ll just go back to Europe now and never contact you in the future. If I get pregnant, I’ll bring up my child alone."
With teary eyes, Cora wanted to shove Zachariah off the bed. However, the next moment, she was held by him and heard him saying, "Cora, you took me wrong. I was just thinking about something. I told you I would get a divorce and marry you. You’re the woman I’ve been expecting for years, and I’ll never make you suffer."
"Zach, now that you said that, I’m relieved," Cora said tenderly, "Zach, take a shower and go to work. I need to have a rehearsal because I might have to attend a small concert tonight."
Zachariah nodded and said, "Since it was your first night, tell me if you feel uncomfortable. Don’t force yourself, got it?"
"Zach, I see."
Zachariah got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. Cora took his phone and called Ophelia. When the call was answered, Cora said, "Miss Ophelia, it’s me. I’m pregnant with Zach’s baby. If you have the least self-knowledge, divorce him as soon as possible. Otherwise, you would be embarrassing yourself."
Ophelia just asked composedly on the other end of the line, "You’re with him now?"
"If I was not with him, how could I get his phone? The moment you left home last night, Zach asked me to visit your house. Although it’s no match for the Chambers Mansion, it’s still a warm and sweet home, and I like it. I believe it will become Zach and my home very soon. When I give birth to the baby, we’ll make a sweet family."
Happy, Cora said sweetly.
Ophelia, however, appeared extraordinarily calm. "Miss Fletcher, have you finished? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. I still need to work and don’t have the time to chat with you."
After that, Ophelia just hung up.
Cora smiled complacently at the phone and said, "Ophelia Lowe, I just want to see how long you can last. Zach is mine. You’re nothing but my substitute. Scram!"
The new sweetheart was laughing while the old love was crying.
Ophelia, who was already in the company reporting for duty, clutched her phone with a sullen face. She didn’t even notice it when Tassach got up from the sofa and walked up to her.
Tassach pulled her to the sofa and had her sit down, saying gently, "Ophelia, are you OK?"
Ophelia came to her senses, forced a smile and said, "I’m fine."
A perfect smile spread across Tassach’s face. Just like a breath of fresh air, he was a real gentleman, and it was relaxing to be around someone like him.
"Ophelia, we’ve known each other for years. If you don’t mind, you may tell me what’s bothering you."
Ophelia just shook her head and said, "Mr. Conduibh, it’s working time, and I don’t want to influence the work because of my personal affairs."
Tassach smiled and said, "Don’t worry. I run this corporation. I do whatever I want, and no one can ever control me."
Ophelia couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Mr. Conduibh, you’re the legal person of this corporation, so you should make yourself an example to others. Otherwise, how could you convince all your subordinates? If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out to work now."
Tassach held Ophelia’s hand and said, "You don’t look good. Stay for a while and let me make you a cup of hot tea. When you’re in a better mood, you may go out. I don’t want my subordinates to believe
that I exploit the new hire the first day she comes to work."
Ophelia burst into laughter and said, "Mr. Conduibh, you’re so funny."
"Ophelia, this is my office, and you don’t have to be so polite. Just call my name." Tassach made a cup of hot tea, held it to her and said.
Ophelia took the tea and smiled, "We’re in the company, so we should follow the rules. Otherwise, people would gossip about me, the new hire, swaggering around relying on you. Pulling strings isn’t a good thing to do to begin with. If I act more differently, people will get jealous of me."
In the workplace, one couldn’t be more careful about each word he said and each action he took.
