Chapter 146
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 146<\/p>\n
Looking at\u00a0Ophelia, who was huddling in the quilt with only her head out,\u00a0Zachariah\u00a0was\u00a0tenderly moved to see her sleeping face which somehow looked delicate and vulnerable for the moment.<\/p>\n
He walked up, reached out his hand to her face \u2014 it was cold. He was again afflicted by nameless dull pain in his heart, and asked, “How long has she fallen asleep.”<\/p>\n
“About two hours. Listen, I don’t mean to treat you in that way,\u00a0Mr. Chambers. But if you could just treat\u00a0Ophelia\u00a0better before, I would have greeted you properly just now.”\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0softened her tone and said.<\/p>\n
With his eyes still fixed on\u00a0Ophelia’s sleeping face, he answered, “She is mine, and I will do what I have to do. Just watch your tongue, stop brainwashing her and she will then be fine.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u00a0sneered out of anger. Previously, she thought that maybe there would be a chance to get along with the man in peace, while she now chose to\u00a0withdraw her views and regarded him as a man that she disdained to ever get involved with for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n
“Could you just\u00a0please\u00a0try\u00a0to be nice,\u00a0Mr. Chambers?” With her arms\u00a0folded over her chest,\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0said.<\/p>\n
Zachariah\u00a0responded with a cold glance at her, “I’m sorry, but I just fail to count you as the sort of woman that I can try to be nice with, though I must confess that you’re quite attractive.”<\/p>\n
With her lips quirked up,\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0was wondering whether he was complimenting her or not, “Anyway, thanks for your compliment,\u00a0Mr. Chambers. However, I also have to confess that I have never counted you as a real man, since never have I ever seen a man as rude as you!”<\/p>\n
Ignoring her words,\u00a0Zachariah\u00a0tenderly pulled back the quilt and was about to pick her up from the bed. However,\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0stopped\u00a0her and said, “What’re you doing,\u00a0Mr. Chambers?”<\/p>\n
“I’m taking her back.” Said\u00a0Mr. Chambers\u00a0bluntly.<\/p>\n
“She is already asleep, and barely she could have any chance to take such a good rest! What if you incidentally woke her up?” Asked\u00a0Madeleine.<\/p>\n
“That will be great.” Unemotionally,\u00a0Zachariah\u00a0answered.<\/p>\n
“Just please show her a single bit of your care and tenderness!”\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0bit her lips and said.<\/p>\n
“It is totally up to me and her. Stay out of our business, outsider.” Said\u00a0Zachariah.<\/p>\n
Incredibly,\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0pointed at herself and said, “Seriously? Me? An outsider?”<\/p>\n
Zachariah\u00a0turned to her and gave her a glance, a glance as if he was repeating his previous announcement.<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u00a0shrugged her shoulder and gave up arguing with him. She had long known clearly the essence of\u00a0Zachariah\u00a0\u2014 an ignorant and eccentric asshole.<\/p>\n
“Fine, I give up. Just take her back when she wakes up.”\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0said.<\/p>\n
However, at the next moment,\u00a0Zachariah\u00a0picked\u00a0Ophelia\u00a0up from the bed and\u00a0carried her in his arms, heading back to the front door without speaking anything to\u00a0Madeleine.\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0came up and stopped him, “Hey, could you just please show some respect to me, gentleman?”<\/p>\n
Zachariah\u00a0answered, “Go away.”<\/p>\n
With her face turned pale,\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0couldn’t help yelling out,\u00a0“How dare\u2026!”<\/p>\n
In this country, seldom one could find a woman like\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0who was willing to dedicate herself so hard to support both her friend\u00a0Ophelia\u00a0and her son.<\/p>\n
Of course, this was all something to be taken up late in the rest of the story.<\/p>\n
Zachariah\u00a0ignored the yelling of\u00a0Madeleine, held\u00a0Ophelia’s hand and waited for the elevator.\u00a0Ophelia\u00a0waved her hand to\u00a0Madeleine\u00a0and said, “Just go back in,\u00a0Madeleine. I will call you later when I get home.”<\/p>\n
The next moment,\u00a0Ophelia\u00a0was taken into the elevator.<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u00a0put down her finger, and murmured disdainfully, “Damn it! What an uncourteous man he is! You will definitely come up to me and beg for my help in the future!”<\/p>\n
In the elevator,\u00a0Ophelia\u00a0turned to\u00a0Zachariah\u00a0and asked, “What happened,\u00a0Mr. Chambers? It seems that you have just had a quarrel with\u00a0Madeleine.”<\/p>\n
Zachariah\u00a0offered her a plain glance.<\/p>\n
In confusion,\u00a0Ophelia\u00a0failed to figure out why\u00a0Zachariah\u00a0was holding a lukewarm attitude towards her.<\/p>\n
“I apologize for my friend, if you ever feel offended by her.” Said\u00a0Ophelia.<\/p>\n
“So, how about telling me something about those photographs?”\u00a0Zachariah\u00a0looked at her and said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1020","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
