Chapter 414
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 414<\/p>\n
Ophelia had talked to Tommy for a long time before she asked the nanny to take care of him. Then the group of people walked out of the baby\u2019s room.<\/p>\n
Helena said, “Ophelia, Steffan and Zachariah\u2019s business friends will arrive soon. Since you haven\u2019t fully recovered yet, just have a rest in your room.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia nodded and replied, “Thank you, Helena.”<\/p>\n
“Don\u2019t thank me. Tommy is my grandson, and I\u2019ll give him the best thing I have. All you need to do now is get well, and you don\u2019t have to worry about anything else.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia listened to her obediently. It was when Helena finished speaking that Ophelia asked, “Why isn\u2019t she here?”<\/p>\n
Ophelia was referring to Savannah.<\/p>\n
Helena paused for a moment and explained, “You know her\u2026 She doesn\u2019t like big parties like this. It\u2019s good that she has gone away, so that she won\u2019t say something embarrassing on such an important occasion. I don\u2019t want her to make you angry, considering you aren\u2019t well yet.”<\/p>\n
Warmth welled up inside Ophelia. Helena was truly kind to Ophelia, and naturally, Ophelia didn\u2019t want Helena and Savannah to drift apart because of her. One always had to make compromises to keep relationships going.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Ophelia was willing to make a compromise for the sake of Helena\u2019s kindness to her. She would put up with Savannah\u2019s occasional ridicule. Even if her feelings were hurt a bit, she could stand it.<\/p>\n
“Come on, Helena. Savannah is my sister-in-law anyway. It\u2019s true that she says some harsh words to me sometimes, but I won\u2019t take it to heart. She just talks, but never does anything bad to me. It\u2019s Tommy\u2019s one-month-old celebration party today, and the guests might think she is rude if she doesn\u2019t show up. After all, she\u2019s Tommy\u2019s aunt,” said Ophelia.<\/p>\n
Helena patted her on the back of her hand and said, “Just leave her alone. She\u2019s an adult now and she\u2019s got her way of thinking. She deserves a lesson if she does something wrong, so that she will understand her family won\u2019t clear up her mess every time, even if her family is wealthy.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia cast a confused look at Helena, feeling that there was more to what she said.<\/p>\n
Helena smiled and changed the subject. “Don\u2019t think too much. Tommy is the center of attention today, and no one will find that Savannah\u2019s not here.”<\/p>\n
Now that Helena said that, Ophelia could only stop here.<\/p>\n
Many people came to Tommy\u2019s one-month-old celebration party today. Among these people, there were business tycoons and government officials and their wives. The attendees were either wealthy or powerful, and they all came from the business world or official circles. One could easily tell that how powerful the Chambers family was by having a glance at the guest list.<\/p>\n
The celebration party was so lively. Madeleine, who had dressed up, also showed up in front of Ophelia.<\/p>\n
“Well well, I\u2019ve only seen these people in political news before. Who knew I\u2019d see them all here?” Madeleine clicked her tongue.<\/p>\n
Ophelia shook her head and chuckled. She handed a drink to Madeleine and said, “Eat slowly, or you\u2019d choke.”<\/p>\n
Her mouth full, Madeleine chewed and glugged down the whole glass of drink.<\/p>\n
Ophelia was being considerate. She took a napkin and wiped Madeleine\u2019s mouth, taunting, “What\u2019s wrong with you today, Madeleine? You dress like a lady, yet you eat like a horse. People would think you\u2019re mistreated by the Chambers family.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine took another gulp of the drink to wash down the pastries in her mouth, shook her hand and explained, “Honey, you have no idea how desperate Nova has been recently. She\u2019s all over me and calls me five times a day. She calls me more regularly than I have my meals! She even threatens me, saying that she would sleep out of my door if I don\u2019t give the draft to her. During the last month, I visited you in hospital in the morning, and when I came back I began to write. In order to attend Tommy\u2019s party today, I wrote till 4 am this morning! Five hours later, I was woken up by her call again. I was pissed and almost lost it. I\u2019ve got dark circles under my eyes in a few days. I\u2019ve also lost a few pounds too. I\u2019m basically living in hell.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia felt sorry to hear that. “Why don\u2019t you tell Miss Barrett about it? Making money is important, but they\u2019ve gone too far. Or, shall I ask Zachariah to do you a favor? He has a friend who runs a publishing house.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine shook her hand and replied, “Don\u2019t take it seriously, honey. I\u2019m just saying. Nova and I have had a pleasant cooperation. Yes, she is quite pushy while working, but she\u2019s actually very understanding at ordinary times. If I sign with another publishing house, I have to get used to another editor again. I don\u2019t want any more trouble, so just forget it.”<\/p>\n
Just as Ophelia wanted to say something, she saw Zachariah walking towards her.<\/p>\n
Madeleine also saw him. She nudged Ophelia and said, “Honey, you know I\u2019m not completely happy with Zachariah, but I have to admit he looks quite handsome today. He\u2019s in a white suit while you\u2019re in a white dress. You two look like Barbie and Ken. A handsome man and a beautiful lady\u2026 You two make a perfect couple!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1288","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1288","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=1288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
