Chapter 431
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 431<\/p>\n
“Did he say anything?”<\/p>\n
“Boss asked me to take good care of you.”<\/p>\n
“Anything else?”<\/p>\n
Ted stared at Ophelia in confusion.<\/p>\n
Ophelia waved her hand and changed the subject. “I\u2019ll go check on Tommy. Did he cry last night?”<\/p>\n
“Tommy\u2019s great, and he hardly cried during the night. He\u2019s still asleep in the cradle,” said Ted honestly.<\/p>\n
“Thank you, Ted. If it weren\u2019t for you last night, I\u2019m afraid Madeleine and I wouldn\u2019t have slept at all.”<\/p>\n
“That\u2019s what I ought to do. You\u2019re my Master, and Tommy is my Little Master, so it\u2019s my duty to protect and look after him.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia waved her hand modestly and said, “Don\u2019t say that, Ted. We\u2019re equal. I\u2019ll feel ashamed if you keep saying so. Zachariah sent you to protect me, not to be my nanny or housekeeper. Let us girls make breakfast from tomorrow. As a man, you just wait for the food.”<\/p>\n
“I cook all the time, and I\u2019m quite good at it. Boss likes my cooking too. Mas\u2026 Ophelia, how about making that decision after having my food?”<\/p>\n
Now that Ted said so, Ophelia could do nothing but accept his advice.<\/p>\n
“Since you are sent to protect me, should I be the one to pay you?”<\/p>\n
“No, someone will transfer the money into my bank account every month.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia said no more and went into the room to check on Tommy, who was sound asleep and looked so cute. After a while, she heard Madeleine whining outside the room.<\/p>\n
Ophelia gave a smile despite herself. Sure enough, the atmosphere in the little apartment was totally different after a man joined them.<\/p>\n
She went out of the room and had breakfast, which was made by Ted, with Madeleine.<\/p>\n
The two of them were amazed at Ted\u2019s cooking skills. They never expected him to be so good at cooking. He was even better than a chef in a five-star hotel. Even Madeleine, who claimed to be an excellent cook, admitted that she was deeply impressed by him.<\/p>\n
Madeleine leaned in to ask Ted, “Tell me honestly, Ted. How did you make the Brussels Sprout Salad Avocado Toast? How can you make something so delicious with these simple ingredients?”<\/p>\n
Ted told her the recipe.<\/p>\n
“And that\u2019s all?”<\/p>\n
Ted nodded. He had this theory that “Less is more” also applied to cuisine at home.<\/p>\n
Frustrated, Madeleine curled her lips and turned to Ophelia, “Honey, I overrated myself and thought I was best at cooking, but today Ted teaches me that there\u2019s always someone better than you. I have to admit, he\u2019s a formidable adversary.”<\/p>\n
“But your long face is telling a different story. Although you have Tommy and me here, someone\u2019s absent.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia threw a look at Madeleine.<\/p>\n
Madeleine shrugged and poked Ophelia\u2019s head with her finger, simmering with resentment. “Honey, I thought you were better than this. You\u2019ve also seen how the Chambers family has treated you. It\u2019s just that they haven\u2019t contacted you for three days, and you act like it\u2019s the end of the world! If they don\u2019t come for the next two weeks, are you going to kill yourself? Now is the time to test the relationship between Zachariah and you. If it can\u2019t stand the test, just leave him. I\u2019ll be honest with you. If Zachariah gives you the cold shoulder over such a trifle, he\u2019s not the guy you can trust for the rest of your life. Do you get it?”<\/p>\n
Ophelia said nothing.<\/p>\n
Madeleine was absolutely right, but as the saying goes, easier said than done.<\/p>\n
“Alright, stop thinking too much and pull yourself together. You need to take care of Tommy. The Chambers family can put on airs with you, but I wonder how cocky they can be with Tommy on our side,” Madeleine shrugged and said in high spirit.<\/p>\n
Ophelia chuckled despite herself, but reluctantly. She felt a tightness in her chest and depressed.<\/p>\n
In the mean time, Zachariah, who hadn\u2019t visited Ophelia for three days, was totally wronged. When he drove out of Madeleine\u2019s neighborhood, he got a call on his way back home. Someone told him that the contract of a cooperative project, which was worth over one hundred million, was leaked. Once their rivals got it, it would be a heavy blow to the Chambers Group, and cause a plunge in stock prices.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Zachariah rushed to the company at once, called the senior executives together and held an emergency meeting that lasted five hours. When the meeting was over, he skipped dinner and jumped on a plane with his secretary and assistant, leaving for Paris.<\/p>\n
Zachariah originally wanted to call Ophelia before boarding, but he gave up that idea because he thought Ophelia might be too angry to answer his call for the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1305","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1305","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=1305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
