The mood of the ward is darkly. Zachariah called his friend who he had been known for 20 years, after
he had left the hospital and gone into the biggest KTV. He was drinking whisky in the luxurious
compartment.
Johnny Morris saw bottles of whisky lying on the table and a man drinking heavily. He slightly raised his
eyebrow, walking up to Zachariah, and took away the bottle in his hand, putting it on the table instead.
Johnny sat down crossing his legs and said cozily, “Who on earth can be so adorable to make you, the
busiest man, drown your sorrows over a whisky?
Zachariah glanced at Johnny without a word. He immediately stopped Zachariah reaching for another
bottle of whisky.
“Johnny, come and drink with me as a friend. Otherwise, you can go now,” Zachariah looked at him
impassively.
Johnny smiled frivolously, taking away the bottle in his hand with no effort. “It’s not a big deal to
accompany you to drink, but I don’t have a reason to drink. After all, I don’t want to be with a mad
alcoholic.
Zachariah took away the wine, opened and gulped down.
Johnny became serious, as if he realized the depression in his mind. Instead of being slovenly, he asked
seriously, “Shoot, what’s up? I have never seen you like this.”
Zachariah wiped out the wine hard on his lips and said in a low voice, “Ophelia wants a divorce.”
Johnny was surprised at the unbelievable news.
“Zachariah, it is not the April Fool’s Day, so what you just said isn’t funny at all.” Johnny was obviously
doubtful about it and kept saying, “All friends since childhood are aware of the sincerity of the sister-in-
law to you though it is you who are coldhearted and even playing hard to get all the time. But haven’t you
decided to treat her well after she was involved in the car accident? Why does she want a divorce now?
Have you done anything wrong?
Zachariah looked sidelong at him and tended to have another drink.
Johnny stopped him and said, “Drinking in this way is ruining the wine, you have to drink slowly to
appreciate the real taste.” Despite what he said, he still poured the whisky into two bottles and handed
the one to Zachariah .
“Now, go on. Tell me what happened. As far as I am concerned, I think sister-in-low is truly passionately
devoted into you, so she can’t have mentioned the divorce thing to you unless she is cornered. After all,
even as for the women who are not into you, they are still unlikely to give up your Chambers Family’s
great fortune,” Johnny said to the point.
People chase after fortune. It is easy to get used to the rich life but hard to go back to the chaste life.
When a person has got used to all sorts of delicacies, how can she be willing to have the scraps?
Johnny was born in a noble family with a handsome looking, so there have been countless rumors of
loving affairs around him. He was always in the merry-go-round of romance, but hard to give a promise
to the one.
Maybe it was because he was rational and even almost indifferent towards the marriage that he could
dissect these problems accurately as an outsider.
Zachariah raised up a glass and drink up in one swallow. He smiled bitterly.
“If Ophelia is truly that type of woman, maybe I will not sit here, drinking,” Zachariah said. He would only
indulge in her body if Ophelia was a gold digger. But now, he could not help loving her and lost his heart
because she was a different type of woman.
Johnny glanced at him and said with a profound significance, “Zachariah, are you really in love with her?”
Zachariah was silent. Sometimes silent meant yes.
Johnny became so serious at that moment.
“Why? Why did sister-in-low want a divorce? There must be a reason and I can give you advice,” Johnny
said.
Zachariah looked at him and finally confess the last secret between Ophelia and himself.
Johnny listed and thought for a while.
“Zachariah, to be frankly, my words may be impolite but I am truly good for you two,” Johnny said
pretentiously and kept saying, “I think it’s beneficial for you to have a divorce.”
Zachariah was somber with a scowling expression.
“Zachariah, don’t get me wrong. Listen to me.” Johnny waved a hand and said, “Why did I support you to
get a divorce? First, the marriage between you two is a mistake. Your marriage is based on a covenant,
which means there is no love. Although you are in love with her now, it will not change the fact that the
marriage is based on individual interests. Secondly, Cora stands in the way of your marriage. You deeply
loved her for five years, so it is unbelievable for all of us that you don’t care for her anymore just months
later, including me. Then what about sister-in-low? All in all, I think you two should have a divorce. You
can keep pursuing her and break through her by your love with no constraints. She will be willing to
marry you again. Since then, your marriage will be based on nothing but the real love. You two will not
doubt each other no matter when you have arguments. Isn’t it good to make both happy?”
Zachariah listed and frowned. He looked depressed and nobody knew what he was thinking.
“Zachariah, you have told me once, that the crises may hold opportunities inside. I think it is the best time
for you and her to undo the knots in your minds.” Johnny analyzed calmly, “But I am doubtful about the
affair of you and Cora, because you are always cautious and defensive when meeting others. Why did
that happen just as Ophelia asked you to come to the hotel. Haven’t you suspected that this is all
planned by sister-in-low…?”
“No,” Zachariah replied with absolute certainty, “Ophelia will not do that.”
