Zachariah nodded.
Afterwards, they got dressed up and drove to Chambers Mansion.
After parking the car, they got into the hall when the steward came happily, âGood morning, Young Master and mistress. Madam and old master and guests are waiting for you.â
Zachariah nodded. Ophelia got in and found the guests were Cora and her parents.
Cora was glad to see Zachariah. However, after noticing Ophelia beside him, her smile suddenly froze.
Helena, on the other hand, thought they were friends and were delighted to see Zachariah and Ophelia. She waved her hands at Ophelia and said, âCome here.â
Ophelia walked toward her with a smile. Helena had always treated her nicely, as if she was her biological daughter. However, Mr. Steffan Chambers just regarded her as the wife of his son. After all, she didnât have an outstanding family background.
At the beginning, Steffan wanted Cora to be his daughter-in-law. However, it turned out that she went aboard and broke his sonâs heart. It was lucky that with her familyâs apology as well as Zachariahâs self-persuasion, the two families finally got along well.
Helena grabbed Opheliaâs hands and said, âShe is my daughter in law. I suppose you havenât seen her yet, due to our conflict four years ago. Sheâs really a good girl. Sheâs kind and treats us nicely. I like her so much. She makes my day not so boring compared with old days. My husband and son are busy with work and Savannah likes to participate in all kinds of party. It is only she who has time to accompany me.â
A sense of uneasiness passed over Mr. Bradwen Fletcher and Mrs. Gwylan Fletcherâs face.
Gwylan forced a smile and said, âItâs wonderful that Zachariah finally gets a wife. However, I think sheâs really familiar to me. She looks like...do you know who she is?â
Bradwen replied, âIt strikes me that she looks really like Cora.â
Cora sat beside them gently. She was the aggregation of all merits like a lady. She was tender, beautiful, and generous.
It was not strange for Zachariah to love her, as she was such a perfect woman.
Ophelia looked at Zachariah, whose eyes were glued on Cora, and felt disappointed. No matter how hard she tried, she was always a substitute.
Now that the true love returned, naturally, nobody would like a substitute.
Helena also noticed Zachariahâs behaviour. She coughed several times to remind him, âZachariah, you donât have to wear suit once you return home.
You can go upstairs and change into casual clothes.â
Zachariah looked at her mother and nodded.
After he left, Helena said to Ophelia in a gentle manner, âHere are your uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher. And sheâs Zachariahâs former fiancée Cora. They nearly got married at that time, however, something happened.â
Ophelia smiled to greet them, as if she didnât know anything, âNice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, and Cora.â
Cora smiled gently and replied, âHello, Ophelia. We meet again. What an honor.â
Ophelia smiled, âYes. I thought the woman who abandoned Zachariah and went to Europe must be detestable. Now it seems I am too innocent. You are so gentle and beautiful, and not like the one who abandons others. There must be some misunderstandings between you. Well, never mind. I have to thank you for giving me the chance to marry such a perfect man.â
Cora finally showed a trace of anger on her face. Helena tried to be polite and said, âItâs not appropriate to say it in this way. Itâs reasonable for Cora to go abroad with the consideration of her career. I have heard that her new boyfriend who went together with her also played piano. Have they got married yet?â
Helena also blamed Cora for abandoning her son. All mothers in the world thought their sons were the best, handsome, good fit, and capable.
However, Cora went abroad with another man when she was going to get married, which really hurt the Chambers family and made it a joke in the upper class. Nobody can forgive such a rude deed.
Although they seemed to bury the hatchet, Helena still blamed Cora and couldnât treat her kindly like before.
Both Bradwen and Gwylan showed an embarrassing expression, while Cora looked at Helena aggrievedly, âAuntie Helena, you used to like me the most. I know my choice hurt Zachariah deeply, but I truly love him. I was alone when I got abroad and there was no other man who accompanied me.
You canât believe rootless rumor.â
Helena replied with a smile, âI really like you. What happened between you and Zachariah doesnât bother me anymore. I just wish you to be happy.â
Cora smiled gently, âAuntie Helena, I have been aboard for four years and remained single. I return this time, just to see Zachariah, and participate in concert held at home.â
Helena also smiled and asked, âWill you go back again?â
Cora nodded and replied, âYes, in a few days.â

Itâs good for you to have somebody accompany you and stand by your side.â
Cora smiled and answered, âI know Zachariah is the best man in the world after I went aboard. Now I want to get him back, but he is married.â
After finishing her words, she realized that it was impolite and apologized to Ophelia in a hurry, âNever mind. I donât mean anything. I just want to share my true feeling with you.â
However, what Ophelia said really stroke Cora.
