Chapter 166
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 166<\/p>\n
Zachariah\u2019s heart melted, and he softened his voice. “Cora, I know you\u2019ve become oversensitive since you got pregnant, but I promise I\u2019ll marry you. It\u2019s just that Ophelia is also pregnant, and my mom definitely won\u2019t allow me to divorce her now, so I have to wait until she gives birth to the baby. Be good.”<\/p>\n
Cora decided to push further. “Zach, I don\u2019t want my baby to be a bastard when it\u2019s born. If you didn\u2019t have feelings for me anymore, you shouldn\u2019t have seduced me back then. It\u2019s just been months and you\u2019ve become so indifferent to me. Just tell me if you no longer love me, and I\u2019ll leave you immediately, but meanwhile, I\u2019ll also have an abortion.”<\/p>\n
Fretful, Zachariah scratched his head and said, “Cora, please! Even if I divorced Ophelia now, I couldn\u2019t marry you for the time being. You should have expected what would be happening back when you ran away from the wedding. The more my mom used to adore you, the more she doesn\u2019t want you to marry into the Chambers family now. Without her permission, even though you gave birth to the baby, it would be a bastard. If you really want to have an abortion, go ahead. I don\u2019t like a pushy woman.”<\/p>\n
Cora went silent on the other end of the line, and then came her wrenching sobs, making Zachariah a little annoyed and sorry at the same time.<\/p>\n
After all, Cora was the woman Zachariah had loved for years. Although his love for her now was not so intense as he imagined, Cora was his woman and pregnant with his baby, and he couldn\u2019t bear to hear her crying.<\/p>\n
“Cora, my good girl, don\u2019t cry.”<\/p>\n
“Zach, I just want you to care about me, but you keep me at an arm\u2019s length. Don\u2019t you love me anymore? I was simply joking by saying I would have an abortion just now, because I wanted to draw your attention. Couldn\u2019t you tell that I said that in a fit of anger?” said Cora between her sobs on the other end of the line.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Zachariah just listened to her silently.<\/p>\n
“Zach, can you come to me? I\u2019m so afraid right now. I\u2019m afraid that you\u2019ll ditch me, that our baby can\u2019t be delivered safe and well. I\u2019m so scared! Can you come to me? I beg of you,” pleaded Cora in a piteous tone.<\/p>\n
Zachariah pondered for a moment and replied, “I\u2019ll be there in a while.”<\/p>\n
“OK, I\u2019ll be waiting for you. Zach, don\u2019t stand me up this time.”<\/p>\n
Zachariah simply hung up quietly.<\/p>\n
His phone in hand, Zachariah stood outside the ward for a long time before he pushed the door open reluctantly and went in. He walked up to the bed, only to find that Ophelia was lying under the covers with her eyes closed. Zachariah reached out and shook her gently, but she didn\u2019t wake up.<\/p>\n
Zachariah leaned over to whisper in Ophelia\u2019s ear, “Ophelia, wake up.”<\/p>\n
It was then that Ophelia opened her eyes. Staring at Zachariah\u2019s face before her, she asked in a flat tone, “You\u2019ve finished your call?”<\/p>\n
Zachariah patted Ophelia gently on the head and said, “Go back to sleep. I\u2019ll be by your side.”<\/p>\n
“If you have something to attend to, please go ahead. I\u2019ll be fine on my own.”<\/p>\n
Zachariah thought a moment before saying, “Alright, I\u2019m going out now, and I\u2019ll be back in two hours.”<\/p>\n
Staring at her, Zachariah reached out all of a sudden and cupped Ophelia\u2019s head. He pressed his lips against hers and the two were lost in the passionate kiss.<\/p>\n
When he released his hands, Ophelia was blushing furiously in a daze.<\/p>\n
“Are you still mad at me?” Zachariah rested his forehead against hers and asked.<\/p>\n
Ophelia stared at him with bleary eyes and said, “President Zachariah, what\u2019s your point in doing this? Are you taking me as your pet? You stroke me when you\u2019re happy, while you leave me alone when you\u2019re upset.”<\/p>\n
Zachariah simply patted her on the forehead. “Go back to sleep. I\u2019m going out now, and I\u2019ll be back in two hours.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia lay down and pulled the covers over her head, silent.<\/p>\n
Zachariah watched her for a long while. Finally, seeing that she didn\u2019t intend to get out of the covers, he got up and left.<\/p>\n
It was when the door was closed that Ophelia got out of her covers and muttered with disappointment, staring at the ceiling, “Zachariah, so it would never have worked between us, right?”<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, silence hung heavily in the ward, and no one answered her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1040","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1040","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=1040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
