Zachariah nodded.
Afterwards, they got dressed up and drove to Chambers Mansion.
After parking the car, they got into the hall when the steward came happily, “Good morning, Young
Master and mistress. Madam and old master and guests are waiting for you.”
Zachariah nodded. Ophelia got in and found the guests were Cora and her parents.
Cora was glad to see Zachariah. However, after noticing Ophelia beside him, her smile suddenly froze.
Helena, on the other hand, thought they were friends and were delighted to see Zachariah and
Ophelia. She waved her hands at Ophelia and said, “Come here.”
Ophelia walked toward her with a smile. Helena had always treated her nicely, as if she was her
biological daughter. However, Mr. Steffan Chambers just regarded her as the wife of his son. After all,
she didn’t have an outstanding family background.
At the beginning, Steffan wanted Cora to be his daughter-in-law. However, it turned out that she went
aboard and broke his son’s heart. It was lucky that with her family’s apology as well as Zachariah’s self-
persuasion, the two families finally got along well.
Helena grabbed Ophelia’s hands and said, “She is my daughter in law. I suppose you haven’t seen her
yet, due to our conflict four years ago. She’s really a good girl. She’s kind and treats us nicely. I like her
so much. She makes my day not so boring compared with old days. My husband and son are busy with
work and Savannah likes to participate in all kinds of party. It is only she who has time to accompany
me.”
A sense of uneasiness passed over Mr. Bradwen Fletcher and Mrs. Gwylan Fletcher’s face.
Gwylan forced a smile and said, “It’s wonderful that Zachariah finally gets a wife. However, I think she’s
really familiar to me. She looks like…do you know who she is?”
Bradwen replied, “It strikes me that she looks really like Cora.”
Cora sat beside them gently. She was the aggregation of all merits like a lady. She was tender,
beautiful, and generous.
It was not strange for Zachariah to love her, as she was such a perfect woman.
Ophelia looked at Zachariah, whose eyes were glued on Cora, and felt disappointed. No matter how
hard she tried, she was always a substitute.
Now that the true love returned, naturally, nobody would like a substitute.
Helena also noticed Zachariah’s behaviour. She coughed several times to remind him, “Zachariah, you
don’t have to wear suit once you return home. You can go upstairs and change into casual clothes.”
Zachariah looked at her mother and nodded.
After he left, Helena said to Ophelia in a gentle manner, “Here are your uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs.
Fletcher. And she’s Zachariah’s former fiancée Cora. They nearly got married at that time, however,
something happened.”
Ophelia smiled to greet them, as if she didn’t know anything, “Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher,
and Cora.”
Cora smiled gently and replied, “Hello, Ophelia. We meet again. What an honor.”
Ophelia smiled, “Yes. I thought the woman who abandoned Zachariah and went to Europe must be
detestable. Now it seems I am too innocent. You are so gentle and beautiful, and don’t look like the one
who abandons others. There must be some misunderstandings between you. Well, never mind. I have
to thank you for giving me the chance to marry such a perfect man.”
Cora finally showed a trace of anger on her face. Helena tried to be polite and said, “It’s not appropriate
to say it in this way. It’s reasonable for Cora to go abroad with the consideration of her career. I have
heard that her new boyfriend who went together with her also played piano. Have they got married
yet?”
Helena also blamed Cora for abandoning her son. All mothers in the world thought their sons were the
best, handsome, good fit, and capable. However, Cora went abroad with another man when she was
going to get married, which really hurt the Chambers family and made it a joke in the upper class.
Nobody can forgive such a rude deed.
Although they seemed to bury the hatchet, Helena still blamed Cora and couldn’t treat her kindly like
before.
Both Bradwen and Gwylan showed an embarrassing expression, while Cora looked at Helena
aggrievedly, “Auntie Helena, you used to like me the most. I know my choice hurt Zachariah deeply, but
I truly love him. I was alone when I got abroad and there was no other man who accompanied me. You
can’t believe rootless rumor.”
Helena replied with a smile, “I really like you. What happened between you and Zachariah doesn’t
bother me anymore. I just wish you to be happy.”
Cora smiled gently, “Auntie Helena, I have been aboard for four years and remained single. I return this
time, just to see Zachariah, and participate in concert held at home.”
Helena also smiled and asked, “Will you go back again?”
Cora nodded and replied, “Yes, in a few days.”
Helena continued, “You are a well-known pianist in the musical industry. It’s a great achievement for
you. It’s also time for you to consider marriage. It’s good for you to have somebody accompany you
and stand by your side.”
Cora smiled and answered, “I know Zachariah is the best man in the world after I went aboard. Now I
want to get him back, but he is married.”
After finishing her words, she realized that it was impolite and apologized to Ophelia in a hurry, “Never
mind. I don’t mean anything. I just want to share my true feeling with you.”
However, what Ophelia said really stroke Cora.
Cora nodded and replied, “Yes, in a few days.”
Helena continued, “You are a well-known pianist in the musical industry. It’s a great achievement for
you. It’s also time for you to consider marriage. It’s good for you to have somebody accompany you
and stand by your side.”
Cora smiled and answered, “! Know Zachariah is the best man in the world after | went aboard. Now |
want to get him back, but he is married.”
After finishing her words, she realized that it was impolite and apologized to Ophelia in a hurry, “Never
mind. | don’t mean anything. | just want to share my true feeling with you.”
However, what Ophelia said really stroke Cora.
