Chapter 291
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 291<\/p>\n
After half an hour\u2019s drive, Madeleine got into the elevator to go upstairs. She opened the door and entered the apartment, lying on the couch with an exhausted face.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, there rang her phone. It was a call from Nova, the editor. Madeleine picked up the phone and moaned when noticing the caller\u2019s ID.<\/p>\n
But she still had to answer it reluctantly, \u201cNova, come on, don\u2019t you see it\u2019s about 3:00 AM in the morning? Why don\u2019t you go for a sleep?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nova\u2019s gloomy voice sounded from the receiver, \u201cI have been waiting for your draft these days! Did you finish? I almost got crazy for it while you still try to insinuate with excuses. Do you want me to break into your apartment and point at your head with a gun so as to get you motivated?\u201d<\/p>\n
Madeleine whined, \u201cNova, Your Majesty, could you please spare me some time for a rest? I have just sent you my latest draft a few days ago. And you still keep pushing me! You almost get me crazy!\u201d<\/p>\n
Nova shouted loudly, \u201cYou know that your latest work will be released soon, right? I can\u2019t believe you ended up with such an awful open-ending. You want to be overwhelmed with endless complaints from your fans, huh? Your previous works all ended up with tragic endings. That\u2019s why we got so many calls from your fans that they were so hungry for a happy ending. But you actually ended the story with an open-ending? Are you out of your mind? You tell nothing about the follow-ups of both the hero and heroines. I can even vision how mad they would be driven when they finish the story. If you make me drown in their anger, I would definitely post your phone number on my social media.\u201d<\/p>\n
Madeleine let out a flattering smile, \u201cNova, I think that should be a nice ending. It provides all readers with enough room to fly their imagination if their follow-ups are both untold. I believe it would be better to make my fans finish the story based on their own fancy so that it will be the best option to lay a clear ending for both of them in the sequel. Don\u2019t you think so?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nova immediately got the point, \u201cIn the sequel? Do you mean that you are planning for the sequel?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, both of them separated apart because of misunderstanding. One of them headed to the US while the other went to a small village in China. As the creator, of course I shall bear the duty to consummate their story with a happy ending.\u201d Said Madeleine proudly.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are playing with fire! Your fans gotta skin you alive if they knew that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe madder they are, the more excited they will be when the sequel is released.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExcited? Perhaps startled.\u201d Nova\u2019s voice seemed to be softened a lot.<\/p>\n
Madeleine smiled with confidence, \u201cI trust my fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, it will be better if you have a plan for it. I gotta go now.\u201d Replied Nova.<\/p>\n
\u201cHold on.\u201d Madeleine hurried to say and continued, \u201cWhy do you stay up so late?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been focusing on your story and I didn\u2019t even notice the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on! Your boss won\u2019t even pay for your overtime working. I gotta take care of yourself after the age of 25. Or you will get your face wrinkled soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, stop that! You should take the blame because the story you created are so fascinating that I didn\u2019t even notice it was almost 3:00 AM. You\u2019d better pray for the fact that I have a day off tomorrow. Or I gotta skin you alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Madeleine just smiled.<\/p>\n
Madeleine turned to look at her, \u201cLet\u2019s have a chat, shall we?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor what about?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust tell me your opinions about Zachariah.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat opinions?\u201d asked Ophelia while blinking her own eyes.<\/p>\n
Madeleine couldn\u2019t help swallowing. Then she continued tentatively, \u201cWell, I am not trying to dig out your secret. Nor am I going to disappoint you. Now we can see that Zachariah still lurch from you and Cora. What if, just an assumption only, he still chooses to be with Cora as the final decision? What would you do by then?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ophelia\u2019s smile seemed to fade a bit. She wore a seemingly solemn face while contemplating.<\/p>\n
Madeleine also noticed that it might be too serious to make it the topic for a night chat.<\/p>\n
She shrugged and said, \u201cWell, I am sleepy already. Time for bed.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Ophelia just smiled, looking relieved, \u201cCome on, Madeleine, it doesn\u2019t matter. I have ever assumed the worst result between Zachariah and me. But we are lucky enough for not having reached it yet. I don\u2019t want to view the relationship that bad. After all, he once promised to recognize me as his only wife though in a subtle way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1165","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1165","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=1165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
