Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Looking at Ophelia, who was huddling in the quilt with only her head out, Zachariah was tenderly

moved to see her sleeping face which somehow looked delicate and vulnerable for the moment.

He walked up, reached out his hand to her face — it was cold. He was again afflicted by nameless dull

pain in his heart, and asked, "How long has she fallen asleep."

"About two hours. Listen, I don't mean to treat you in that way, Mr. Chambers. But if you could just

treat Ophelia better before, I would have greeted you properly just now." Madeleine softened her tone

and said.

With his eyes still fixed on Ophelia's sleeping face, he answered, "She is mine, and I will do what I have

to do. Just watch your tongue, stop brainwashing her and she will then be fine."

Madeleine sneered out of anger. Previously, she thought that maybe there would be a chance to get

along with the man in peace, while she now chose to withdraw her views and regarded him as a man

that she disdained to ever get involved with for the rest of her life.

"Could you just please try to be nice, Mr. Chambers?" With her arms folded over her

chest, Madeleine said.

Zachariah responded with a cold glance at her, "I'm sorry, but I just fail to count you as the sort of

woman that I can try to be nice with, though I must confess that you're quite attractive."

With her lips quirked up, Madeleine was wondering whether he was complimenting her or not,

"Anyway, thanks for your compliment, Mr. Chambers. However, I also have to confess that I have never

counted you as a real man, since never have I ever seen a man as rude as you!"

Ignoring her words, Zachariah tenderly pulled back the quilt and was about to pick her up from the bed.

However, Madeleine stopped her and said, "What're you doing, Mr. Chambers?"

"I'm taking her back." Said Mr. Chambers bluntly.

"She is already asleep, and barely she could have any chance to take such a good rest! What if you

incidentally woke her up?" Asked Madeleine.

"That will be great." Unemotionally, Zachariah answered.

"Just please show her a single bit of your care and tenderness!" Madeleine bit her lips and said.

"It is totally up to me and her. Stay out of our business, outsider." Said Zachariah.

Incredibly, Madeleine pointed at herself and said, "Seriously? Me? An outsider?"

Zachariah turned to her and gave her a glance, a glance as if he was repeating his previous

announcement.

Madeleine shrugged her shoulder and gave up arguing with him. She had long known clearly the

essence of Zachariah — an ignorant and eccentric asshole.

"Fine, I give up. Just take her back when she wakes up." Madeleine said.

However, at the next moment, Zachariah picked Ophelia up from the bed and carried her in his arms,

heading back to the front door without speaking anything to Madeleine. Madeleine came up and

stopped him, "Hey, could you just please show some respect to me, gentleman?"

Zachariah answered, "Go away."

With her face turned pale, Madeleine couldn't help yelling out, "How dare…!"

However, she soon put down her voice, since she saw that Ophelia was awake.

At first, Ophelia was still in a daze, while she soon came to her senses seeing the two confronting each

other.

"When did you get here, Mr. Chambers?" Asked Madeleine.

Zachariah lowered her head, looked at her and said in a lukewarm tone, "So, you're awake."

Ophelia nodded his head and said, "Yes, and please put me down, Mr. Chambers."

Putting her down, Zachariah said, "Well, shall we go now?"

Ophelia nodded her head again and turned to Madeleine, "I'm leaving now, Madeleine. Call me up

if you need me."

Madeleine glared at Zachariah and warned, "Listen, you're free to leave together with Ophelia now, but

if you ever dare to break her heart afterwards, I swear I will not be so good-tempered by then!"

Ophelia was confused by her sudden announcement, thinking that she was taking it too seriously.

However, giving a second thought, she began to wonder whether something had happened between

the two when she was asleep.

Zachariah gave her a disdainful look and said coldly, "Stay out of our business." Then, he

took Ophelia's hand and left.

Madeleine's face was twisted out of extreme anger. She rushed out of the front door, raised her fist

high above her head and shouted, "Just wait and see, Zachariah! You'll regret anything when you visit

me again for Ophelia in the future!"

Madeleine, at this moment, had yet to realize that her saying would ever turn out to be a prophecy.

Though during the whole story, her efforts had slowed down the pace of the reconciliation

between Ophelia and Zachariah, luckily, Ophelia had eventually found out that the right one in her life

was no one but Zachariah.

In this country, seldom one could find a woman like Madeleine who was willing to dedicate herself so

hard to support both her friend Ophelia and her son.

Of course, this was all something to be taken up late in the rest of the story.

Zachariah ignored the yelling of Madeleine, held Ophelia's hand and waited for the

elevator. Ophelia waved her hand to Madeleine and said, "Just go back in, Madeleine. I will call you

later when I get home."

The next moment, Ophelia was taken into the elevator.

Madeleine put down her finger, and murmured disdainfully, "Damn it! What an uncourteous man he is!

You will definitely come up to me and beg for my help in the future!"

In the elevator, Ophelia turned to Zachariah and asked, "What happened, Mr. Chambers? It seems that

you have just had a quarrel with Madeleine."

Zachariah offered her a plain glance.

In confusion, Ophelia failed to figure out why Zachariah was holding a lukewarm attitude towards her.

"I apologize for my friend, if you ever feel offended by her." Said Ophelia.

"So, how about telling me something about those photographs?" Zachariah looked at her and said.
