“Zach, stop it.” Ophelia raised hands to push him back on the chest and noted in resistance.
Zachariah naturally noticed her weird behaviour. His eyes sank and asked in a deep voice, “Are you
afraid of me?”
Ophelia stiffed and hurriedly raised up her head. When meeting Zachariah’s gaze, her eyes
subconsciously turned gentle. She replied with a smile, “Why would I be afraid of you?”
Zachariah looked her up and down and asked, “Ophelia, tell me what did you do with Madeleine
today?”
Ophelia’s eyes blinked in shifty. She didn’t even dare look at Zachariah in the eye because his eyes
were too deep as if he could see through everything and recognized every lie, making people hard to
dodge.
Ophelia reminded of Madeleine’s advice. She tried to struggle, however, when looking at Zachariah in
the eye, she suddenly wanted to take a bet. It would be her luck if she won, otherwise, she could only
accept her fate.
Ophelia gritted her teeth. As if finally making a resolution, she asked, “Zach, if there comes a day when
I become a flawed person rather than the way you think I am, will you still treat me nicely?”
Zachariah frowned and did give her an answer.
Ophelia’s heart suddenly dropped to the bottom.
She showed an embarrassed smile. She then smiled unnaturally and remarked, “I have to go to the
bathroom. I haven’t washed my hands for a whole day.”
Zachariah simply observed her to get panicked because he wanted to check how not confident Ophelia
was.
What a dump woman? Why did she take all his love as compassion simply because of his silence?
Why couldn’t she figure out there was no need for him to spend a great deal of time on her if he didn’t
love her?
Why she was the last person to realize his love when every outsider could figure out? Was he an
unreliable person for being unfaithful?
“Ophelia, look at me.” Zachariah grabbed her mouth and forced her to raise up her head to look at him
in the eye.
“What are you talking about? I need you to tell me no matter what happens. Even the sky falls apart, I
can shoulder it. There is nothing for you to be afraid of. Don’t try to carry everything. Sometimes your
stubbornness really upsets me. I can protect you in your whole life with my arms, but you still choose to
carry the heavy burden. What am I going to do about it?” Zachariah embraced her and sobered.
Ophelia was startled. She never expected that Zachariah would cry, or it could say that she never
expected he would have such a strong reaction because she and Madeleine left today.
“I…” Ophelia moved her lips and couldn’t say a word.
A flicker of deepness passed over Zachariah’s eyes. He thought for a while and remarked, “Ophelia,
you’re my wife. Sometimes you can try to trust me, alright?”
Ophelia wanted to take a bet. However, when she was about to open her mouth, someone suddenly
knocked at the door, which also knocking away her courage.
“Who is that?” Zachariah asked in a terrible tone.
“Young master, Madam calls you to go to the hospital. She told me that your phone couldn’t get
through.” The servant said carefully.
Zachariah replied impatiently, “I get it.”
After the servant left, Zachariah was still holding Ophelia in his arms, asking, “Ophelia, now there is
only two of us, can you tell me?”
Ophelia struggled from his arms and tried to avoid his question, saying, “Mom has called you. Hurry up
to go there.”
Zachariah looked at Ophelia deeply and compressed his lips.
Ophelia’s right hand touched his face. She comforted, “We have a lifetime and don’t have to rush. I will
tell you later if you want to ask something, OK?”
Zachariah embraced her wrist and kissed her hardly on the lip. After letting go, he remarked, “I can let
you off this time.”
He then grabbed his suit to leave, while Ophelia noted at this time, “Zach, there is a thing I forgot to tell
you. Well, I have let Ted be Tommy’s godfather.”
Suddenly, Zachariah’s motion stopped. He looked at Ophelia and pretended he didn’t care, asking
casually, “Why?”
“I think Tommy and Ted really have a good relation and let Tommy be the godfather without asking your
idea. Will you be mad of me?”
Yes, of course Zachariah would.
Zachariah wanted to tell her his true feeling, but he said, “You can make a decision if you think it’s
proper, but you are not allowed to get in touch with him too much. You are my wife and have to keep a
distance from any male, do you understand?”
Ophelia smiled. She never expected that Zachariah would get so jealous, however, she really liked his
cute behaviour in this way.
Seeing her smile, Zachariah suddenly got in a good mood and forgot his upset just now.
“Stay at home. I will be back later.”
Ophelia nodded.
After Zachariah left, Ophelia’s smile suddenly faded away because she got an instinct that such a plain
life which is mixed with squabble and sweetness, would get less and less.
Savannah left the hospital in two days. Although she still looked pale, her body had a good recovery.
After leaving the hospital, she had treated Ophelia really with manner and respect. When she didn’t say
Ophelia, she would mention her many times. Her change had brought some people joy, while some
people, disgust.
Mrs. Chambers thought Savannah had realized her fault, while Ophelia felt disgusted when seeing her
faked care. However, although she didn’t like it, she had to hide her feeling in front of Mr. and Mrs.
Chambers to consider their feelings. It was good that they could maintain a good relation on the
surface.
The family lived three peaceful days in their faked atmosphere.
In the morning, Ophelia told the servant to bring a chair by the lake and to prepare some tea and
dessert. She decided to lean on the soft chair on her own to enjoy this wonderful time.
After learning she was going to get blind, she became more and more enjoyable to appreciate
everything around her. In her eyes, the plants got more adorable and what she took for granted now
became an extraordinary exist, even enjoying the sunlight was an extravagant thing for her.
However, a phone call broke this sudden peace. Ophelia took out the phone and found it was from
Madeleine.
