âGet an abortion,â Zachariah answered without hesitation.
Opheliaâs face suddenly turned pale, and she felt like a knife had stabbed her in the gut.
âDonât you want your child?â Ophelia asked, her fake smile unwavering through her pain.
âOnly the woman I love can bear my child. If you are pregnant, then I will ask someone to arrange a doctorâs appointment for you tomorrow and you can get the abortion.â Zachariah answered in an indifferent tone and wearing a blank expression.
Ophelia never expected Zachariah would be so cruel to her after their four years of marriage. Apart from their passionate lovemaking, he had no feelings for her at all.
âAbort the child?â Was he really so brutal he would decide to kill his child? She would never share another moment of her life with such a man.
Ophelia tried to shake off her complicated emotions and forced another smile. âAre you really going to require me to get an abortion?â
Zachariah looked at her with no apparent emotion on his face. âI told you on our wedding day that our relationship would be like one between an employer and employee. I pay you money to use your body and once weâre divorced, I will transfer a sum of money to you as compensation. If you become pregnant during our arrangement, I am to compensate you for the abortion. We already made a deal. Are you trying to threaten me with the child?â
Ophelia lowered her head to hide the tears welling in her eyes. Zachariah was being as cruel as any man could.
Zachariahâs face darkened as he grabbed her chin and forced her to look up at him. When seeing her eyes reddened, he shot her an appalling look.
âWhy are you crying?â
Ophelia pushed away his hand and turned away from him. âIâm not crying.â
Zachariah turned around her face again and spoke in a deep voice. âAre you really pregnant?â
However, Ophelia only glanced at him and puffed out her cheeks.
âAre you really pregnant?â Zachariah repeated with little patience.
Ophelia glanced at him and faked a smile. âMr. Chambers, if I am pregnant, will you actually arrange for someone to take me to the hospital and abort him?â
Zachariah replied without hesitation. âYou canât keep him. Iâm not letting Cora down.â
The pain in Opheliaâs heart was so tremendous it took everything she had to not collapse in a fit of tears. The man wouldnât even lie to comfort her.
He wouldnât give her anything except money. Cora! Why was it always her? Sheâd hurt him so deeply, and he was still thinking about her. Even though she wasnât back in his life yet, Zachariah always left some space for her in his heart.
Opheliaâs heart filled with jealousy for a woman she never met. She had lost the game before it even started.
âMr. Chambers, youâre so infatuated with that girl,â Ophelia replied.
However, his infatuation was not for her.
âMr. Chambers, if you really loved her, why did you have sex with other women?â Ophelia continued.
Were men really the kind of creatures that made decisions with their second head? As long as there was a woman whom he could have sex with, he wouldnât think about anything else.
âSheâs a respectable girl and deserves to be treated nicely,â Zachariah said.
âWell, then I am not a good girl.â Ophelia thought sarcastically.
She pushed his hands away again and responded distantly. âMr. Chambers, I am tired and donât want to do anything today. Iâm sorry, but I donât have the strength to please you. You can sleep here, and I will go to the guest bedroom.â
She turned to leave without waiting for a response.
Zachariah frowned and his voice deepened as he called out. âAre you really pregnant?â
Ophelia stopped and answered. âDonât worry. If I am pregnant, I will go to the hospital by myself. I donât want my child to grow up without a father.â
Zachariah became more anxious. He wasnât used to Ophelia being so rational.
âOphelia, stop!â
Upon hearing his words, Ophelia stopped in the doorway.
Ophelia didnât even turn as she spoke calmly. âMr. Chambers, do you have anything else to say?â
