Chapter 186
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 186<\/p>\n
Madeleine cast a glance at Tassach and replied, “She was almost driven to the brink of ruin and flung into prison by your family at that time. If she hadn\u2019t met Zachariah, she would have been in jail now. So do you think she was having a hard time?”<\/p>\n
Tassach\u2019s eyes turned red. He threw his head back and drank the bottle of the beer in one gulp.<\/p>\n
Madeleine patted Tassach on the shoulder and comforted him. “Hey jinx, actually Ophelia has never blamed you, so don\u2019t be too hard on yourself.”<\/p>\n
Tassach gave a wry smile and asked, “You told me that Ophelia used to love me. Is that true?”<\/p>\n
Madeleine nodded. “Ophelia did love you, but that was before. Now she\u2019s married and pregnant. So come on, try your best to find a woman both you and your family love as soon as possible. Otherwise, your family would get in the way and all your efforts would be in vain if you got yourself a Cinderella.”<\/p>\n
Tassach couldn\u2019t tell which was bitterer, his mouth or heart.<\/p>\n
Madeleine patted him on the shoulder in a masculine way and consoled him. “It\u2019s better for you to move on. Your relationship came to an end, so stop whining like a woman.”<\/p>\n
Tassach took another sip of beer.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s late now. Let me send you home. If you make headlines tomorrow like ‘The Heir of Conduibh Group Drunk Driving at Midnight’, I\u2019m afraid not only your stock, but the corporation you established with your own hands will be hit hard.”<\/p>\n
Beer bottle in hand, Tassach stared at the surface of the river and said, “Talk with me.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine buried her head in her arms and said in despair, “Hey bro, come on! We\u2019re not teenagers anymore, and we don\u2019t mourn for our lost love in the middle of the night. When a relationship ends, it ends. The only way to get through this is to let go and start a new one. Even the male supporting role in my novel is less sentimental than you.”<\/p>\n
“Male supporting role?” Tassach glanced at Madeleine and sighed, “So I\u2019m just a back-up in your heart.”<\/p>\n
“Or what else?” Madeleine shrugged and replied in a casual air. Teenage girls loved the macho, while the boy next door was meant for the heroine.<\/p>\n
Tassach could do nothing but smile bitterly.<\/p>\n
“Come on, jinx, the sun will come out in a few hours. You have to go to work tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
Tassach got up and threw the bottle in his hand away, saying, “Let\u2019s go.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine got into the car, fastened her seat beat and asked, “Will it be OK if you park your car here?”<\/p>\n
“I\u2019ll ask someone to drive it back tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
“Rich people indeed have their own ways of handling things. But since you can totally afford a car, it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s stolen.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine sighed while driving, “Hey jinx, in fact, you made a favorable impression on me when I first met you. You\u2019re handsome. You come from a privileged background. You\u2019re highly-educated. You\u2019re Prince Charming to most girls, while Ophelia is also a beautiful girl, so I thought she and you would make a perfect couple. If it weren\u2019t for what your family did to Ophelia later, I would have agreed to leave her to your care. But unexpectedly, you shrank back, or else, the one marrying you would have been Ophelia. You two would have made a perfect family of three.”<\/p>\n
Tassach leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes, concealing the agony.<\/p>\n
Madeleine said no more but focused on driving. It took them almost 40 minutes to arrive at the housing estate Tassach lived in.<\/p>\n
“Here you are. Now get off.”<\/p>\n
The two turned up at MZ Plaza on time at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n
Madeleine gave Ophelia a warm hug and asked with a smile, “Honey, did the baby behave itself yesterday?”<\/p>\n
Ophelia shook her head.<\/p>\n
Madeleine studied Ophelia from head to toe. Seeing that she had a ruddy complexion and was in a good mood, Madeleine smirked. “Honey, tell me the truth. Did something good happen yesterday? Look at your ruddy cheeks. That\u2019s the sign of a woman in love.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia poked Madeleine on the forehead with her finger and smiled. “You\u2019re letting your imagination run wild, Lady Writer.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine burst into laughter.<\/p>\n
“Honey, what do you want to eat for lunch?”<\/p>\n
“How about hot pot? I want to have spicy hot pot so bad today. I\u2019m drooling at the thought of it.”<\/p>\n
“And I thought you would like to eat in some fancy restaurant. Well, for the sake of the baby, let\u2019s have hot pot today.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine made a reservation online first before the two went to the restaurant serving hot pot hand in hand.<\/p>\n
Hardly had the two sat down than Ophelia\u2019s phone rang. She took out her phone and found that it was a strange number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1060","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1060","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=1060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
