Ophelia was taken aback and blurted out, “What’s the situation? Didn’t you say that it is possible to conceive with sufficient rest?”
“Something happened, so...”
Ophelia didn’t ask much about what happened, but said thoughtfully, “President Zachariah, if you are sad, you can cry. There is no shame for a man to cry, and I won’t laugh at you.” Although my heart hurts but I can’t see you in agony.
Zachariah was amused by her words.
Ophelia looked at him strangely.
Zachariah raised his hand and touched her nose, and whispered, “Aren’t you jealous that I hugged another woman in front of you?”
A dark expression flashed in Ophelia’s eyes, but she quickly hid it.
She said reluctantly, “After all, I am not the wife that Mr. Chambers really acknowledges, isn’t it? Even if I want to be jealous, I can’t find a justifiable reason to be.”
Zachariah’s heart ached all of a sudden.
He pinched her cheek, and his voice became gentle, “Woman, you always have a way to strike my killing point all at once. Why would I be willing to make you sad.”
But you keep making me sad.
Ophelia thought to herself.
Zachariah stroked her hair tenderly as if murmuring and promising, “Ophelia, I would not let anything happen to you and the baby in your belly.”
Ophelia didn’t know what to do for a while. She wanted to look up at Zachariah, but she was unexpectedly suppressed by Zachariah.
“President Zachariah, what do you mean by that?” Ophelia asked.
Zachariah felt that his heart was heated up. He was willing to protect this woman with his life. Although he was not particularly clear whether they could be together for a lifetime and not be separated from death. At this moment, he really wanted to hold this woman who seemed strong but was occasionally fragile in his arms to prevent him from being hurt the slightest.
“Silly woman, I will protect you. You just have to be obedient.” Zachariah said.
Ophelia curled her lips and said, “President Zachariah, I have always been very obedient. It seems that President Zachariah is the only one who has always been disobedient.”
Zachariah laughed, and the gloom that Cora had brought before miraculously disappeared.
He found that this woman had such magical power, with her, his mood would miraculously improve.
“Ophelia, you are getting more and more courageous now. You even dare to talk back to me?” Zachariah said pretending to be angry.
“You care about her so much, aren’t you jealous?” Zachariah deliberately questioned.
Ophelia patted his hand and a little proudly said, “President Zachariah, don’t think of me too well. I don’t care about her. I am just understanding my opponent's grounds. Only by knowing, would I be able to defeat my opponent. That way not even Miss Fletchers, if any other woman comes forth in the future, I will know how to defeat them.”
Zachariah laughed.
“What a slick talker,” Zachariah said.
“Mr. Chambers, doesn’t like it?” Ophelia blinked her eyes and said playfully.
The spoiling in Zachariah’s eyes was almost unobstructed.
He raised his hand and touched Ophelia’s nose, and said, “Wasn’t someone throwing a tantrum with me earlier, and deliberately approached Tassach to anger me.”
Ophelia touched her nose, took a step back, and said, “If it weren’t for President Zachariah and his little lover who was busy showing each other your affection, would it be necessary for me to approach Tassach?”
Zachariah didn’t really pursue it either. After all, he and Cora were caught hugging in the elevator. If she wanted to pursue it, it seemed that Ophelia had more right to question.
Zachariah said, “Didn’t you say that you went to Madeleine’s house? Why did you end up with Tassach again? He just finished the operation; he could get out of bed to contact you?”
