Chapter 432
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 432<\/p>\n
A dozen hours later, Zachariah and his team got off the plane and hopped into a special car. The group of people went straight to the local office building of the corporation that cooperated with the Chambers Group.<\/p>\n
As soon as he arrived, Zachariah started another meeting that lasted another few hours. When he finally took an half-hour break, it was already 1am.<\/p>\n
The secretary heated up the set meal she bought and passed it to Zachariah, saying, “Mr. Chambers, you haven\u2019t eaten all day. Have something.”<\/p>\n
Zachariah took the set meal and asked, “What time is it now?”<\/p>\n
“One in the morning, Mr. Chambers.”<\/p>\n
Zachariah watched the beautiful night view of Paris out of the window and whispered, “Have you seen the beautiful night view of Paris, Ophelia? If you like it, let\u2019s come here together someday, shall we?”<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Ophelia was not by his side for now, so no one answered him.<\/p>\n
The secretary cast a worried look at Zachariah and ventured, “Do you have something on your mind, Mr. Chambers?”<\/p>\n
Holding the meal box, Zachariah was enjoying the night view outside. Just as the secretary thought he wouldn\u2019t answer her and was about to walk off, Zachariah asked her.<\/p>\n
“Linda, what kind of woman do you think Ophelia is?”<\/p>\n
Linda paused for a moment before she realized Zachariah was referring to his wife. This was the first time he had ever talked about his wife with her, and that surprised her.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Chambers, I don\u2019t know Young Madam very well, and I can\u2019t jump to conclusions. But since you asked, I\u2019ll tell you my opinion. By appearance, Young Madam is absolutely a stunning beauty. She\u2019s sexy, charming and gorgeous. But that\u2019s my first impression of Young Madam. Then I\u2019ve met her several times later, and I found that she\u2019s not only easy on the eye, but she\u2019s also a nice and smart woman. She knows how far to go and when to stop. In a word, I think she\u2019s a perfect match for you, Mr. Chambers.”<\/p>\n
Zachariah\u2019s lips curved into a smile and he went on asking, “Who\u2019s better, Cora or her?”<\/p>\n
Now Linda was up a gum tree. She had been working for Zachariah for years, and thus witnessed what had happened between Cora and him. Just because she knew too much about them, Linda was aware of what to say, and what not to say.<\/p>\n
Linda hesitated.<\/p>\n
Zachariah seemed to know what she was thinking about, so he tried to reassure her.<\/p>\n
“Linda, let\u2019s talk like old friends. You\u2019ve been working for me for years, and you\u2019re my right-hand man, my good partner at work, as well as my confidant in life.”<\/p>\n
Linda heaved a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
She licked her lip and replied, “Mr. Chambers, I\u2019ll just say something briefly. If anything I say annoys you, please don\u2019t take it to heart. Miss Fletcher comes from a distinguished family, and she\u2019s more graceful than any ordinary girl, but she\u2019s not the right one for you, Mr. Chambers. Well, it\u2019s just an intuition, though. She\u2019s too sentimental, and her ideas are unrealistic. Maybe she\u2019s not like this when she\u2019s with you, but to her inferiors, she\u2019s too arrogant. To those who come from a humble background, she looks down upon them. Seems that you two don\u2019t speak the same language, and that\u2019s why you can never be together. I had a hunch at the beginning.”<\/p>\n
Linda fell into a panic as she finished speaking.<\/p>\n
“I was just talking nonsense, Mr. Chambers. Please don\u2019t take it to heart.”<\/p>\n
However, it was Steffan who answered the call. “Zachariah, your mom has a relapse, and she\u2019s still in the hospital. She hasn\u2019t told Ophelia about it in case she gets too worried, and we haven\u2019t visited her for days. How are things going over there?”<\/p>\n
Zachariah frowned and answered honestly, “I\u2019m not very optimistic about the situation, but I think I can handle it. What\u2019s wrong with mom? She was well a few days ago.”<\/p>\n
“Maybe it\u2019s because of Savannah, and besides, Ophelia took the baby away all of a sudden. She felt guilty and thus fell ill. You know your mom\u2019s always sensible and elegant in others\u2019 eyes, but we know she\u2019s actually very sensitive. She tends to let her imagination run away with her whenever she\u2019s unhappy. Moreover, she has a weak heart, so I\u2019ve tried my best to take care of her feelings all these years. But it didn\u2019t occur to me that Savannah would do such a stupid thing. Otherwise, she wouldn\u2019t have had a relapse.”<\/p>\n
“Is it serious?”<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s not too serious, but she needs a few days to recover.”<\/p>\n
Zachariah was still anxious. “James is still in China. Shall I call him to check on mom?”<\/p>\n
“Don\u2019t bother. Mr. Kenelm checked on her personally. He said that anxiety caused the relapse, and that she would recover if she had a good rest and stopped thinking too much. Go on with your work. If it\u2019s too tough for you to handle, I can send more people to help you.”<\/p>\n
“Dad, I can handle it myself. Don\u2019t worry. Just take good care of mom,” Zachariah said. When he was about to say goodbye, Steffan chimed in, “When your mom gets better, we\u2019ll go to see Ophelia and Tommy together.”<\/p>\n
“Thank you, dad.”<\/p>\n
Zachariah hung up the phone and intended to call Ophelia, but suddenly, something popped into his mind and he called Ted instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1306","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1306","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=1306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
