Hearing that, Madeleine felt a bit guilty for bringing such a topic.
âSorry, girl, I didnât mean that. I have been the one with the most earnest will to wish you and Zachariah a nice ending. You, Zachariah and your baby shall live together blissfully. I ask so out of no bad intention. For real!â
Ophelia was even rendered a bit awkward, âOh, Madeleine, donât feel sorry about that. I am your bosom friend! Of course I can tell you asked so because you are concerned about me.â
She paused and then continued, âMadeleine, to be honest, I should say thanks to you. I was so fascinated with even mere benefit offered by Zachariah. If it werenât because of your harsh alarm, I would still have indulged myself in it.â
Madeleine gave her a warm hug and whispered softly, âGirl, I am so sorry. I know you have been struggling from a little girl next door to a grown beauty as you are at this moment. I have been always worried about you. I feel like seeing you being pushed to be mature and independent.â
Ophelia smiled and got herself away from her hug, âStop! Stop talking to me like that as if I were one of the innocent girls you created in your love story novel. Time to sleep. As for my relationship with Zachariah, just let it be. Of course I would love to be with him forever. Even if not, I still have my baby, the gift of my fate. Itâs still worth having such a sweet baby for the past five years. Perhaps it would be just destined to be if Zachariah and I still got divorced someday.â
Madeleine stared at her seriously while asking, âGirl, is it the real thought in your mind?â
Ophelia lay down and replied, âOf course. Though I love him, I am also aware that it takes too much for me to afford it. Zachariah and I got married as contracted at that time. His family background far outweighs mine. So we are destined to be in a disturbing relationship. I deemed at the very beginning that he would divorce me a year later after marriage. How time flies! Now it has been five years. Soon our baby will be born. Well, it seems that I am actually the advantaged one.â
Madeleine couldnât help feeling sympathetic for her.
âTime to sleep. Itâs late.â Opheliaâs voice sounded low.
Madeleine nodded. She reached out her hand to turn off the light. Soon, the bedroom fell into darkness. Madeleine, still with her eyes fixing on the ceiling, suddenly sighed.
âGirl, you are still awake?â she asked.
âAlmost fall asleep.â Replied Ophelia.
Madeleine sighed again and added, âGirl, I feel sorry about what I said just now. Please forgive me. I didnât mean that.â
Ophelia just smiled, âCome on, we have been friends for years. I know what you were thinking. I will be mad at you if you keep on apologizing.â
Madeleine also replied with a smile. Then the room fell into silence.
Though both of them claimed to be awake just now, they soon fell into sound sleep in less than five minutes.
In the next morning, both of them were woken up by the ringtone at 10:00 AM. Madeleine, squinting, fumbled for a phone to answer it.
âStill sleeping?â a strange male voice sounded.
Madeleine couldnât recognize the voice within a short time. So she responded with a seemingly rude manner, âSir, you got the wrong number. Donât you know how annoying it would be to disturb ladiesâ sleep?â
After saying that, she shut the line.
However, in less than a minute, ringtone sounded again. But it was Opheliaâs phone this time.
Ophelia poked Madeleine with her finger and said, âMadeleine, answer the phone. I am still sleepy.â
As inflammable as Madeleine had always been during the following minutes after getting up, plus, both of them were disturbed in sleep, she was now burning with rage.
She picked up the phone and shouted just like a stormy raid, âNo matter who the hell you are, youâd better make the call out of urgent reason. Or I will definitely smash your ass and tear you apart! How dare you wake me up in the midst of my sleep! Goddamn it!â
The other side showed no response perhaps out of fear.
Madeleine took a look at the screen and noticed that the number seemed to be a bit familiar though it showed no name. She only deemed it a strangerâs call so her rage still went on, âHey, who is it? Just hang up if you made the wrong call. I didnât sleep until 3:00 AM in the morning. Now I am dying for a sleep. Thank you!â
After a few seconds of hesitation, the response finally sounded, âMadeleine, this is Wilfred. We just met yesterday. Do you still remember?â
Madeleine was immediately driven to be sober. She asked tentatively, âWilfred?â
âYeah, itâs me. Now do you recognize my voice?â Madeleine got off the bed and took out the card she got from Wilfred yesterday. She checked the number written on it. And it was exactly the one shown on the phone. Then she apologized awkwardly, âSorry, Wilfred, I didnât record your number on Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game ï¤Chapter 291 Night Chat Say You Will Be Mine ï¤Chapter 38 Pay You Back for the Rest of My Life (The End)
The Vixen's Man ï¤15 my phone as it was too late when I got home. Ophelia is still sleeping so I answered the phone. I am so sorry about that. Were you startled by my temper?â
âItâs okay. You are so special even if you lost your temper. You sound cute even while swearing.â
Madeleine was rendered embarrassed and bashful.
âI am so sorry for that. But whatâs the matter for the morning call, Wilfred?â Madeleine hurried to shift the topic to another.
