“Before going to bed, you always nag about how awesome and lovely I am to your little baby. Once he
is born, I am sure he would love me even more than his own father.”
Ophelia couldn’t help laughing, “Come on, stop being so naïve.”
Madeleine replied seriously, “Girl, I am not kidding. I have to make the little baby familiar with me in
advance. You know how mean Zachariah has always been, right? He will definitely try to keep me
away from the baby. I know him well. That’s gotta happen.”
Ophelia had already dropped her intention to serve as a peacemaker between Madeleine and
Zachariah as they never stopped fleering and jeering at each other every time they met. Of course,
Madeleine would always be the one who started the mess first while Zachariah simply replied with a
cold face.
Madeleine still continued the topic even when both of them got into the car, “Girl, do remember to tell
your baby something about me every single night before sleep. I don’t want your husband outweigh me
in this aspect.”
“Madeleine, could you be a bit more generous?” said Ophelia.
“Girl, no! You don’t get it! I have to fight him!”
“Come on, don’t play tough just like those Kungfu stuff.”
“Oh, actually you are right about that. I have planned to write a fiction about Kungfu this year. But I am
not sure if my fans could accept that because it’s a brand-new area for me. And I am afraid if Nova
would come to me for trouble.”
Ophelia took a casual glimpse at her as if she had already been accustomed to her hyperbole.
“You have got a lot of fans with your previous works of romance and ghost fictions. Perhaps you will
indeed run into difficulties to make your fans adapt to such a sudden change of genre. But I will also be
a nice opportunity for you to get more fans. Whatever, it’s a chance and I also agree with you to this
point. Just tell Nova about it and she would probably agree as well. After all, you have been working on
the same genre for so long. And your fans might be a bit tired of it.”
Madeleine suddenly snapped, “Wow, girl, you got me the best! Well, I would like to make a compromise
in front of Zachariah for your sake.”
Ophelia couldn’t help chuckling.
Whenever, she was trying to talk about something serious, Madeleine would always amuse her with
some kind of magic.
“Actually, the one who got you the best must be the one who noticed your talent.”
Madeleine was a bit confused, “Who?”
“Your boss, Mr. Harrison.” Ophelia smiled.
Madeleine paused for seconds. As she noticed that, she rolled her eyes on Ophelia, “Hey, why do you
mention about him?”
“Perhaps he is exactly the Mr. Right you are expecting.”
“Girl, you seem to be a bit more annoying than before.” Said Madeleine with a mere blushed face.
“The same to you.”
Of course, Madeleine would never admit that her heart was about to be captured though it was the
case.
When they returned to the apartment, Zachariah, who had claimed that he would only return at night,
was already sitting in. Both the two girls, who were still smiling on their way, suddenly ran into a pause.
A few seconds later, Ophelia let out a wry smile, “Mr. Chambers, welcome back.”
Madeleine simply cast a look at him while Zachariah didn’t even seem to waste time glancing at her. He
walked over to Ophelia and simply ignored her. His eyes fixed on Ophelia, in which the burning fire was
about to gulp her down.
Ophelia was rendered quite nervous. Her face went blushed and her heart kept beating fiercely. She
hurried to bend down and pretended to focus on changing her shoes.
Madeleine pouted and uttered so as to remind him of her existence, “Mr. Chambers, stop staring at her.
Otherwise, Ophelia would get burnt by your eyes.”
Upon hearing that, Ophelia was rendered even more blushed.
Zachariah just took a glimpse at Madeleine and said, “You may leave now.”
Madeleine actually smirked out of madness. She pointed at the food she carried in her hands and said,
“Mr. Chambers. Did you see that? I bought these bags of food with Ophelia and she told me to stay for
dinner. So, sorry, I have to stay even if you are displeased. But I am sure you, as the well-known ‘Mr.
Chambers’, should be generous enough to allow me to stay for a dinner, right?”
Zachariah took a look at those bags of food and then at Ophelia. While Ophelia looked at Madeleine
and said, “Madeleine, just take it to the kitchen. It’s too heavy.”
Madeleine shrugged and looked at Zachariah with a sense of complacence as if she were announcing
her strong bond with Ophelia. Even if Zachariah fancied some romantic hours with Ophelia alone,
Ophelia would still allow her to stay as long as she wanted,
Whatever, Madeleine chose to face him head-on. She tried all means to stop Zachariah from reaching
what he wanted only to inform him of one thing—Ophelia still got a lot of backups from her friends and
under no circumstance should he remain condescending in front of her.
Madeleine lifted her hands and showed him those bags, “Mr. Chambers, now it’s your time. Please take
them to the kitchen like a gentleman.”
Zachariah took those bags of food and strode into the kitchen,
“Huh, he is still decent.” Said Madeleine.
“Madeleine, he seldom returns home. Just stop bickering with him. Both of you are important to me. I
don’t want you two to be trapped in dead end. That only embarrasses me.” Said Ophelia
awkwardly.
