“Zach, even if we don’t get divorce, there’s already a knot in my heart. Our relation can’t go back to our
past days. What’s the point of holding on our marriage?”
Zachariah paused for a while.
“I will prove that our relation will only get better and better.” After making this statement, he strode
forward. However, Ophelia, who was watching his fading back figure, couldn’t stop crying out.
Ophelia didn’t know whether her resistance was right or not. After all, they had already hurt each other
deeply.
It was a wrong marriage at the beginning. Finally, she was the one who had to end it. She didn’t know if
it would turn into a situation that Zachariah hated her profoundly.
Maybe Zachariah would.
Zachariah took Ophelia to the main house of the Chambers family when both of them remained quiet
along the way. Mrs. Chambers was playing with Tommy when they came back. Seeing them, she
immediately held Tommy to stand up and noted with a smile, “Tommy, see who are coming back?”
Tommy was already four or five months old. He grew faster compared with other kids and he wouldn’t
cry out when he saw Zachariah as he did when he was little. He was simply not getting so close with
his father. Ted was his best companion.
“This is mom, and this is dad.” Mrs. Chambers shook Tommy’s hands and taught him to talk.
Tommy waved his little hands in excitement. Ophelia felt extremely complicated when seeing Tommy’s
delicate face. She didn’t know if her decision was right or wrong. She only knew that she selfishly cut
off her marriage with Zachariah and deprived his right to be called a father.
Ophelia was ashamed because she knew a kid’s childhood would be incomplete without his father or
mother’s company.
She thought: Tommy. When you grow old enough to know the truth why mommy leaves your daddy, will
you blame mommy for being too stubborn?
Mrs. Chambers acutely sensed there was something weird between Zachariah and Ophelia. She
hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ophelia sobered. She showed an unnatural look to Zachariah, slightly opened her mouth and didn’t
know how to explain.
However, Zachariah acted like nothing happened. He embraced around Ophelia’s wrist and replied
when smiling, “Mom, there’s nothing wrong between us. Ophelia sticks with me like a little girl.”
Mrs. Chambers finally got a relief.
She smiled and remarked, “I am happy to see you in a good relation.”
Ophelia reached out her hands to hold Tommy and suggested, “Mom, you must be tired after taking
care of little Tommy for a whole day. Let me look after him.”
Mrs. Chambers smiled. When she was about to say something, Savannah suddenly ran down from
upstairs and remarked, “Mom, Cora just called. She told me big brother had sex with her last night and
was caught by sister Ophelia on the spot. She wanted brother to be responsible for her and noted it
was not easy to bully a girl from the Fletcher family.”
Holding Tommy, Ophelia’s hands got tighter, while Zachariah immediately darkened his head. Mrs.
Chambers turned to look at both of them and couldn’t believe what happened.
When Mrs. Chambers finally returned to her consciousness. She stared at Savannah and scolded,
“Savannah, what are you talking about? Your brother spent the whole night with Ophelia yesterday.
How anxious are you to instigate and see chaos?”
Then, Mrs. Chambers turned to look at Zachariah and Ophelia.
“Zach, is your sister telling the truth?” Mrs. Chambers asked.
Zachariah compressed his lips and remained silence, which meaning that he already acquiesced his
mother’s questioning.
Mrs. Chambers showed an unbelievable look to Ophelia. Seeing the sadness in her eyes, her heart
sank.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
“Zach, didn’t you tell me that you spent a day with Ophelia yesterday? Why would you contact with
Cora? Ophelia already had a child with you and you could spend a wonderful life with your family.
Which part are you not satisfied with? Why do you make a mess with Cora again?” Mrs. Chambers
held her chest and remarked in a disappointing way.
The Chambers family just returned to its peaceful life. She never expected such a scandal would hit
them. Hardly had one wave subsided when another rose. The Chambers family was similar with a
dying vat where other people’s random action could turn them into a mess, striking them by surprise.
Zachariah showed a cold expression. His face tightened in a serious manner and remarked, “Mom, I
will figure this thing out.”
Savannah interrupted him, “Brother, there is nothing to investigate. It is true that you were caught in the
hotel by sister when you were with Cora. I believe you still have feelings towards Cora, otherwise, you
won’t get close to her. If you still love each other, considering the thing that she has an abortion, you
have to express your standing. Don’t you think you go too far after having sex with her without being
responsible?”
Zachariah showed her a cold look.
Although Savannah was afraid of Zachariah, she was willing to do things that could find Ophelia
trouble. She felt pleased when seeing Ophelia was in pain.
Savannah had remarked that she would watch Ophelia leave the Chambers family embarrassingly
someday. Finally, that day was close.
Mrs. Chambers also glanced at Savannah and scolded her, saying, “Savannah, stop talking nonsense.
Your brother and your sister are in a good relation. Don’t try to mess up their relation. There must be
some misunderstandings in this thing. Don’t take pleasure in other people’s misfortune and make them
angry.”
Savannah was in a good mood and ignored her mother’s words. She continued instigating, “Mom,
brother is the one who has cheated. You have to scold him instead of me. Anyway, I think brother still
has feelings towards Cora, otherwise, he won’t mess up with her again. They already have sex. As a
man, I think my brother is supposed to express his position. He can’t throw her away after having fun.
Mom, you used to teach us to be responsible.”
Mrs. Chambers showed a dark expression.
On the other hand, Ophelia petted Tommy in her arms and remarked calmly, “Mom, I will take Tommy
upstairs.” After saying this, Ophelia went upstairs with Tommy.
However, Savannah still shouted behind her, “Sister, don’t be sad. Although my brother doesn’t like
you, you can still merry someone with a plain-looking but wealthy man. If you’re not satisfied with those
people, don’t forget that Mr. Conduibh is still waiting for you. You guys look like a perfect match when
embracing each other in that old photo.”
