Chapter 78 Reach A Consensus
Zachariah frowned, “She came to you?”
“She came to me at noon today, and said that she might be pregnant with your child.” Ophelia said in a very calm tone, but she didn’t add it that the the mistress at present was really rampant. It was she who destroyed other’s family, but it seemed she was the victim. Instead, the lawful spouse turned out to be the executioner who hindered true love.
Zachariah frowned gently.
Those two women were much trickier than the signings worth hundred million dollars he had faced in business.
“Are you really planning to go to S City?” Zachariah said equivocally.
Ophelia nodded, “I follow the guidance of my supervisor when it comes to work. Besides, I like this current section of work a lot with good salaries and perks.”
Zachariah said, “The monthly allowance I give you should all be higher than your salary at work.”
Ophelia nodded.
Zachariah took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his heart, “How about giving you extra 30, 000 pocket money per month? I’ll buy you anything you want. Would you like to quit your job?”
Ophelia gave him a strange look and said, “Mr. Chambers, I thought we had already reached a consensus in terms of work.”
Zachariah hit the steering wheel, turned a corner, and stopped the car at the green light.
“I permit you to work, but I didn’t allow you to live apart from me for work. I am your benefactor and have the right to order you to stay by my side.” Zachariah said.
“Mr. Chambers, what if I insist on going to S City?”
“If you go to S City, we’ll divorce right away.”
Ophelia pursed her lips and looked closely at Zachariah. After a long time, she arduously opened her mouth, “Are you serious, Mr. Chambers?”
Zachariah nodded.
Ophelia gave a bitter smile, pondering that the romance just now was like unachievable illusions, which came and went quickly.
“Mr. Chambers, if you want to divorce, then do so.” Ophelia said weakly in the car.
Zachariah looked at her in amazement. Ophelia just calmly watched the red light outside the car turn green and said in a peaceful tone, “Mr. Chambers, the traffic light turns red.”
Zachariah took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Zachariah stepped on the accelerator and the car scurried out like an arrow off the string. The usual one hour’s drive was reduced to only twenty minutes or so. Zachariah drove into the neighborhood where they lived, parked the car and turned his head to look at Ophelia, but found that Ophelia’s face was seriously pale. His anger in his heart immediately disappeared and he asked anxiously, “What’s wrong with you? Where do you find not well? I’ll drive you to the hospital right away.”
Ophelia took a breath and said somewhat weakly, “Mr. Chambers, I’m fine. You drove too fast, so I’m just a little dizzy right now. I’ll get back on my feet soon.”
Zachariah unbuckled her seat-belt and wiped the sweat off her forehead carefully. Although he only said to treat the woman in front of him as a pet, he would still feel painful if she felt a bit uncomfortable.
The explanation he gave was that Ophelia was a small pet only belonging to him. No one could bully her except him.
“Are you feeling better?” Seeing that Ophelia’s face was gradually recovering, Zachariah asked.
Ophelia glimpsed at him and still opened the door to get out, but her hand was grabbed by Zachariah.
“Mr. Chambers, anything else?” Ophelia coldly posed the question.
“Are you angry?”
Ophelia shook her head and said, “No, I’m just not well in my heart.”
“Is it serious? Let me drive you to the hospital now.”
“No, I just need some time for a rest.”
Zachariah let go of her hand and asked her to get off while he also quickly got out of the car, striding over to her side and suddenly carrying her in his arms. Startled for a moment, Ophelia then said somewhat shyly, “Mr. Chambers, put me down first. It’s OK to walk by myself.”
Zachariah seemed to read her mind, saying in a rarely gentle manner, “It’s in the midnight. There won’t be so many people in the neighborhood now.”
Ophelia buried herself in his arms, like a docile little cat.
Zachariah lifted the corner of his lips, thinking that he still liked such a well-behaved Ophelia, as if she was under his control. Once she went to S City, she was out of his control, which would give him a
sense of powerlessness with his irritation clamoring up.
When Zachariah entered the house, he placed her on the sofa. He bent one of his knees and half squatted in front of Ophelia, gazing at her and saying, “Are you still feeling uncomfortable?”
Looking at his deep eyes, Ophelia couldn’t control her pounding heart with her cheeks somewhat burning.
“Why is your face turning red? Did I just drive too fast and scare you?”
Ophelia reached out her hands and pushed them towards his chest, but he didn’t know why. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mr. Chambers, I’m fine. You suddenly become so gentle, and I’m just not used to that.”
Zachariah snapped his face up, pretending to be angry, “It seems that you are unhappy about treating you gently.”
Ophelia shook her head, “We are a couple. Of course I hope to be treated gently by you, Mr. Chambers, but your tenderness comes too weird. I’m afraid that it’s just an illusion. After waking up, you become the original one.”
Zachariah calmly said, “Don’t speak in such a dramatic manner. Since you are the birthday girl today, I just want to be gentle with you for a while, but end up scaring you.”
Zachariah stood up and sat beside her, taking her into his arms and whispering, “Ophelia, don’t go to S City, OK?”
