Ophelia laughed.
"Do you think looking for someone is the same as wholesaling, that you can pick and choose and give up whatever doesnât suit you?"
"You deserve better men."
Ophelia soon calmed down, "Madeleine, I'm fine. Go if you need to work. I want to stay alone for a while."
"That's fine, you must call me if you are feeling lonely. I'll have to write my story. The editor is in a hurry."
After hanging up the phone, Ophelia got up and wanted to go upstairs, but she saw a person standing there. She was shocked. Who else could this person be besides Zachariah?
Ophelia held the phone tightly, wondering why he was here?
"Have, haven't you left?" Ophelia was a little stuttered, she was afraid that Zachariah would hear the conversation just now.
"Just went upstairs and took a shower."
"When did you stand there?"
"When you said itâs an insult to the concept of family if you regard us as family."
Ophelia avoided Zachariahâs stare.
"Mr. Chambers, Iâm sorry."
Zachariah walked down to her side. He lifted her chin, looked at her with deep eyes, and said, "Is our family really a lie in your opinion?"
Ophelia still avoided his gaze.
"Look at me." Zachariah said aggressively.
Ophelia looked at him, but Zachariah caught the stubbornness in her eyes.
"Why is our marriage a lie?" Zachariah asked aggressively.
Ophelia looked at him stubbornly and asked, "Isn't it?"
Zachariah felt that his chest seemed to be burning with fire, and his expression became a little gloomy, "Why?"
Ophelia was confused for a while, not quite sure about the meaning behind Zachariahâs question.
"Are you in pain when you are with me?" Zachariah said.
Ophelia looked at him in surprise, she seemed to detect a trace of fragility in his voice.
Zachariah lifted her chin, lowered his voice and said, "Ophelia, I sincerely regarded you as my wife. Can't I be your haven?"
Ophelia looked at him, suddenly sighed, and said, "So what? You are destined not to be my own. Your love is divided into too many pieces. I am not your only one, so I said that our relationship is a lie."
Zachariah looked at her deeply.
Ophelia avoided his eyes and said, "Mr. Chambers, you should go. I'm a little tired and want to go upstairs to sleep, so I won't see you off."
Zachariah grabbed her hand, and pulled her into his arms, he said in a low voice, "You want to drive me away?"
Ophelia suddenly felt a little irritable. Since Zachariah had another lover, why did he even pretend to be affectionate in front of her, making her addicted to him, and then he easily got away, leaving her struggling in this hopeless love.
Ophelia pushed him away and said in a distant tone, "Mr. Chambers, if you don't like me, don't give me hope. I can't bear such lies."
Zachariahâs expression darkened and he said, "What are you awkward about?"
Ophelia forced a smile, she raised her head and said in frustration, "Mr. Chambers, no matter how heartbroken I am, it's just being awkward in your opinion, isn't it?"
Zachariah frowned and said, "Aren't you?"
Ophelia wanted to throw off Zachariahâs hand, but Zachariah grabbed her tightly, and he said in a cold tone, "Ophelia, you have become greedy.
When we signed the marriage agreement, we have agreed that you just need to be a good wife and youâll get paid. Now, you shouldnât expect love that doesnât belong to you in the first place."
Ophelia was heartbroken, and Zachariahâs words hurt so much.
"Sorry, it turns out that Iâm being greedy and you are under pressure." Ophelia picked herself up and faked a smile, âMr. Chambers, I will see you off. I wish you and Miss Fletcher everlasting love.â

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 Zachariah frowned.
The ringing of the phone broke the dead silence between them, and it was still Cora.
Zachariah took a deep breath, and finally answered the phone.
"Zach, it's been an hour, why haven't you come?" Cora said.
Zachariah said patiently, "I'll go over now, have you eaten?"
"I have no appetite if you are not here, and my wound hurts a bit. I can't sleep either if you are not here." Cora said weakly on the phone.
Zachariah didn't feel Coraâs words were sweet, he only felt that Cora was so clingy to a horrible degree.
In his impression, Cora has always been simple and fun-loving. Although she was a little self-willed, she was also considerate. He didnât expect that Cora was so eager to possess that he felt a little suffocating.
"You should have dinner. I'll be there soon."
"No, you are not here, I am afraid and I have no appetite, so you need to come here quickly."
