“He has work to do. I can’t force him to stay by my side at all time, right? If he clings to my side, who
would be the breadwinner?”
“You’re right.” The driver then laughed, “Well, but judged by your look and educated manner, your
husband should be also a prestigious and rich gentleman.”
Ophelia just smiled, “He could just manage to earn enough to support our family.”
“Come on, I have seen so many people since I served as a taxi driver. Only few of them looked the
same gorgeous and well-mannered like you. And I can tell that you must be born in a decent family as
well.”
Ophelia only replied with a smile.
The driver didn’t seem to get sullen of her cold response. He just kept speaking himself all the way
through. Hearing his lively talk, Ophelia seemed to feel a bit better.
The driver drove into the Chambers Mansion and then he said, “Miss, here you are.”
Ophelia took out a hundred buck in her bag and handed it to the driver, “Keep the change.”
The driver took the money and said, “Miss, wish you happy and sound whatever you might encounter
in the future.”
Ophelia then smiled, “Thank you, sir. You too.”
As she got off the taxi, she entered the mansion. As soon as she stepped into the parlor, Helena, who
was sitting there, immediately stood up in surprise, “Ophelia, when did you discharge from the
hospital? I have even planned to cook you something delicious and bring it to you. Girl, you really make
me worried. You should tell me about it even if you want to get out of the hospital.”
Ophelia held her hand, “Helena, don’t be worried. The doctor told me that I was fine. So I discharged
myself.”
Helena patted her hand gently and then made the cook get something tasty for Ophelia to eat. Then
she led her to sit on the sofa while holding her hand still.
“Ophelia, you don’t look good. Are you still feeling sick?” Helena asked concernedly.
Ophelia smiled, “Helena, I am fine. Perhaps it was just because of carsickness.”
Helena said discontentedly, “Girl, you should have call me in advance since you wanted to come back
home. Then I would make the chauffeur to pick you up. But Zachariah should stay with you in the
hospital, right? Where is he? Did he leave after I went back home yesterday?”
While speaking, Helena seemed to be sullen.
Ophelia shook her head, “Helena, don’t be mistaken. “Zachariah has stayed by my side for a whole
night yesterday. Today his secretary told him that there was an important project that required his
arrival. So I made him back to the company. After all, I was fine. So I decided to be back alone.”
Hearing that, Helena looked a bit more relaxed, “Okay. Ophelia, if Zachariah was mean to you, you
have to tell me about it and I will teach him a lesson!”
Ophelia’s eyes got wet a bit as she heard that. She couldn’t help hugging Helena and choked with
sobs, “Thank you, Helena. Thank you for trusting me even after you saw the picture. Thank you for
taking care of me for all these years. No matter what would happen between me and Zachariah, I
would still respect you just like my mom.”
Helena patted her back softly and said, “Girl, don’t mention it. You have been my daughter-in-law for
almost five years. I know about you better than anyone else. Even the picture might still tell us a lie. But
I will always trust your words only. Just tell me, have you ever kept an ambiguous feeling for Tassach?”
Ophelia shook her head, “Mom, I have always kept the family discipline in mind to behave myself well
even since I married Zachariah. Tassach is only a good friend of mine that we have acquainted with
each other for years since we met in college. Though I can’t explain how the picture was taken, mom,
he is still just a friend of mine only.”
However, as she just finished, a mocking voice sounded, “Wow, our Miss Cheater has been back!
Listen, what a touching excuse!”
Of course, Ophelia could tell who was speaking.
Helena looked at Savannah in annoyance, who was going downstairs, “Savannah, stop talking
nonsense.”
Savannah sat on the sofa beside and cast a scornful glimpse at Ophelia, “Mom, do you deem it
nonsense? She actually had an affair with her boss and she still dared to fool you. She has been the
most unashamed woman I have ever seen in my life. But you still value her so much? Have you ever
seen anyone else in our family who even cast her a glimpse of favor before? At least for me, she
makes me feel disgusting ever since I saw her face.”
Ophelia looked a bit sullen.
Meanwhile, Helena was even a bit irritated, “Savannah, if you kept talking about rumor, just get out of
the house.”
Savannah looked at her, aggrieved, “Mom, do you get bewitched by her? You even choose to defend
her and accuse me for that? I really doubt if I were adopted only. Perhaps she is your real daughter.”
“Savannah!”
Savannah said with an aggrieved face, “Mom, do you still deem me wrong? Before she married my
brother, you have never refused any request of mine. You treasured me as the apple in your eyes only.
However, ever since she married Zachariah, you turn to be so different! Think about it, how many times
have you ever accused me just for the sake of her? I couldn’t help doubting if she were your daughter
while I were an outsider only.”
