Chapter 182
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 182<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was Maddy,\u201d answered Ophelia. But before she could put down her phone, Zachariah grabbed hold of it and pulled up the call history. Sure enough, Madeleine was at the top of the list.<\/p>\n
Zachariah opened the message app to find the most recent message sent to her by Madeleine. His expressions souring, he shot Ophelia an insinuating look. \u201cYou\u2019re still in contact with that Tassach guy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d answered Ophelia, \u201cTassach and I are still friends, even though we didn\u2019t make it as a couple, so I\u2019d be lying if I said we didn\u2019t talk to each other at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBlock his number,\u201d Zachariah demanded with a displeased look on his face, \u201cand never see him again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy good sir,\u201d said Ophelia, \u201cthat would be rather dictatorial of you, wouldn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re mine and mine alone. Hence, I demand that you stop associating with any man at all,\u201d replied Zachariah.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re that insecure?\u201d<\/p>\n
Zachariah shot her a look.<\/p>\n
And that made Ophelia laugh out loud. She walked towards him and looped her arms around his neck. \u201cMy dear Mr. Chambers,\u201d said Ophelia, \u201cwith your amazing achievements and these good looks, I am the one that should be worried. I don\u2019t think I will ever cheat on you, as long as you still want me around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Placing a hand on her hips, Zachariah pulled her in and pressed their bodies together. He stared at her and spoke with a steady voice. \u201cRemember that you\u2019re mine. Without my permission, you shan\u2019t have any contact with any man \u2013 or else.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my good lord, are you jealous, Mr. Chambers? Because if you\u2019ll admit it, I promise I won\u2019t even look at any other guy from now on.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are such a saucy little minx.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ophelia didn\u2019t reply, unsure whether he meant it as a compliment. Instead, she asked, \u201cDoes that mean, dear sir, that you are, in fact, in love with me, too?\u201d<\/p>\n
That stumped Zachariah. Did he love Ophelia? He wasn\u2019t sure, because to say that he didn\u2019t wouldn\u2019t be completely accurate, since he had such unique feelings for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Chambers, are you still completely indifferent to my existence after I\u2019ve been a good wife and mother for almost five years?\u201d<\/p>\n
Pinching her nose gently, Zachariah answered dotingly, \u201cStop letting your thoughts run amok. What you need to do right now is to keep healthy to ensure a smooth delivery of the baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ophelia was slightly dismayed. Zachariah wouldn\u2019t admit his feelings for her to this day \u2013 or maybe, maybe his caring and tender ways were temporary and only for the sake of the unborn child. He claimed not to want a kid, but the Chambers family would surely cherish their first grandson. Was Zachariah being nice to her solely because of the kid?<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Chambers \u2013 Zach. If I told you that my only wish was for you to tell me that you loved me, would you say it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Patting softly on the top of her hair, Zachariah said, \u201cI guess it\u2019s true what they say \u2013 that pregnant women have \u2018a bee in their bonnets,\u2019 since it\u2019s been all that you do all day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re like one of those helicopter moms, as you\u2019re being very wordy right now. But somehow I find this new side of you more grounded and more charming. I\u2019m loving this version of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Zachariah\u2019s eyes reflected a deep passion that he wouldn\u2019t even know that he had.<\/p>\n
While Ophelia was being lovey-dovey with Zachariah, Tassach was driving all the way back to the Conduibh family residence.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh didn\u2019t greet him with her usual warmth when she saw him come in. Instead, she said with a sneer, \u201cWell, well, well, if it isn\u2019t my son. I thought you forgot about having a family at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still distraught about what Madeleine had said to him, Tassach semi-patiently greeted back, \u201cHey mom.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t mom me, boy. You\u2019re a big guy now \u2013 a top dog, and I wouldn\u2019t dare being considered your mom since I\u2019m so beneath you now.\u201d<\/p>\n
That, Tassach knew, was Mrs. Conduibh still being mad at him for the whole thing with Grace.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will always be my mother,\u201d said Tassach very seriously as he sat on the sofa.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh snorted coldly. \u201cIf you really do regard me as your mother,\u201d she said with anger, \u201cyou wouldn\u2019t have treated Grace like that. Ophelia, Ophelia \u2013 it\u2019s always about Ophelia. If I knew how she would stand in the way between you and Grace, I\u2019d have come up with a plan to throw her in jail four years ago!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1056","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1056","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=1056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
