Chapter 413
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 413<\/p>\n
Madeleine clenched her teeth and said, “Miss King, we all know you\u2019re full of shit, and you don\u2019t have to prove it to us again and again.”<\/p>\n
Gracie ignored Madeleine and held her chin up high, taking the high road.<\/p>\n
“Ophelia, I heard that you gave birth to a boy. Now you have a husband and a son, and you\u2019ve got all the things a woman is supposed to have, but why must you have teased Tassach when he was determined to forget you?” Arms-crossed, Gracie questioned Ophelia.<\/p>\n
Ophelia stared at her.<\/p>\n
Madeleine, nevertheless, couldn\u2019t stand it anymore and chimed in, “Miss King, I\u2019m afraid it\u2019s not up to you to decide who Mr. Conduibh should be with. Ophelia had a car accident, and it\u2019s reasonable that he paid her a visit. Do you want to put the ‘Mrs. Conduibh\u2019 hat on and control him while you haven\u2019t even married him yet?”<\/p>\n
Gracie squinted at Madeleine with a defiant air and replied, “So what if I do? Tassach will be mine someday. Both his family and mine have tacitly approved of our relationship, and we\u2019ll get married sooner or later. I\u2019m just exercising my right in advance.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine was lost for words because she found Gracie delusional.<\/p>\n
What Gracie said also left Ophelia dumbfounded. Truly, Gracie was staking out her claim, but that also showed how unconfident she was.<\/p>\n
A confident woman never revolved around a man. A smart woman would make her man obsessed with her while keeping him at an arm\u2019s length. In that case, all he could think of was still her, even though they were a million miles apart from each other.<\/p>\n
Gracie rose to her feet and looked down at Ophelia in a condescending way, saying, “Since you aren\u2019t dead, I have no reason to stay. I\u2019m leaving now.”<\/p>\n
After that, she left immediately before Ophelia and Madeleine could say anything.<\/p>\n
Madeleine scowled at her back, stupefied. Then she looked at Ophelia and snorted, “Is there something wrong with that woman\u2019s\u2026 ?” She pointed at her own head.<\/p>\n
Ophelia said resignedly, “That\u2019s just some nonsense. Ignore her.”<\/p>\n
Hands on her hips, Madeleine retorted indignantly, “But she\u2019s so mean! Didn\u2019t you hear what she just said? No wonder Jinx doesn\u2019t love her. Were I a man, I wouldn\u2019t choose her either. Her only redeeming feature is her appearance, and her personality is simply nasty.”<\/p>\n
“Well, she isn\u2019t happy either. She has done so much for Tassach yet gets nothing back from him. I totally understand why she would vent her anger on me.”<\/p>\n
“Don\u2019t be ridiculous! She loves Jinx, but does that mean Jinx must love her back? Love doesn\u2019t work that way. Otherwise, no one would ever have killed themselves for love.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia shook her head. Apparently, she didn\u2019t want to bother herself with this issue anymore. In her view, Gracie was nothing but a passer-by in her life, and she wasn\u2019t worth her attention at all.<\/p>\n
One month had passed in the blink of an eye, and Tommy was one month old. The Chambers family took the celebration party very seriously. After all, he was the first grandson of the family. Therefore, Helena began to make preparations the day Tommy was brought home. She went through everything herself, including the decoration of the house, the invitation cards and so on. Zachariah, who was busy working and taking care of Ophelia, didn\u2019t pay much attention to the celebration party instead, while Ophelia did. However, she hadn\u2019t fully recovered yet. Even if she had spent the last month in the hospital, she could only walk in a small area, and her body would ache all over if she walked a little longer, so she was unable to help with the celebration party.<\/p>\n
It was Tommy\u2019s one-month-old celebration party today. Accompanied by two doctors and two nurses, Ophelia was discharged from hospital and taken back to the Chambers Mansion by Zachariah personally.<\/p>\n
A baby changed significantly as it grew up every day. It had been only half a month but Ophelia could hardly recognize Tommy now.<\/p>\n
Now Tommy was one month old, and he had tender skin, ruddy and chubby cheeks and fine features. He just looked like a lovely porcelain doll.<\/p>\n
Ophelia asked Zachariah to put her down.<\/p>\n
Just as he put her down, Ophelia crouched down by the crib and reached out to stroke Tommy\u2019s cheek carefully. Thanks to the spiritual bond between the mother and the baby, as soon as she touched him, Tommy woke up, stared at Ophelia with his dark and bright eyes, and stretched out his little hands, babbling.<\/p>\n
Helena smiled, “Seems that Tommy knows his mother came to see him. He was sound asleep, but woke up once you came.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia coaxed with a faint smile, “Tommy, it\u2019s mom. Say ‘mommy’.”<\/p>\n
Tommy seemed to understand her and began to gurgle.<\/p>\n
Helena\u2019s grin widened. “Tommy is such a smart boy. He understands his mom now.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia was overwhelmed with happiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1287","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1287","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=1287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
