âIt doesn't matter. Zachariah is a perfect man and is reasonable for other women to think about him. I would be too mean if I am jealous of each one of them.â
Helena added, âYou are such a good girl with merits. You are open-minded and considerate, always by your husbandâs side when heâs busy at work.
You never play tricks of crying or making troubles. Thatâs why I like you so much.â
Helena's words seemed to have deeper meaning.
Ophelia's expression changed upon hearing this.
Ophelia knew Helena wouldnât like a woman who betrayed her son.
Helena patted Opheliaâs hand and said, âGo and check what Zachariah is doing? Heâs been upstairs for a long time.â
Ophelia stood up and said, âUncle, auntie, sorry, I have to go up and look after Zachariah.â
After Ophelia went up, Helena took a sip of tea elegantly and said: âThey still love each other so much even though they have married for four years.
They simply wish to stick around every day. Well, never mind.â
Both Bradwen and Gwylan showed a terrible expression on their faces.
Helena pretended to see nothing and smiled, âCora, itâs time for you to consider your marriage. Have you gotten any boyfriend in Europe?â
Cora smiled and replied, âAuntie, I am busy with work. Recently, I have to go on tour in many places and donât have any chance to stay in one place for long. I guess I will go back home after two months and settle here.â
âItâs good to stay in foreign countries, you know, well-paid and abundant with handsome men. Why do you suddenly decide to go back?â Helena replied, hinting that she shouldnât go back to interrupt her sonâs life.
Coraâs expression remained unchanged and replied with a smile, âNo matter how good a foreign country is, there is no one I am concerned and I feel so lonely, so I decide to go back.â
Helena poured a cup of tea for Steffan and said, âBradwen and Gwylan seldom come to visit us. Why do you remain silent all the time?â
Steffan finally raised his head. He looked similar to Zachariah, except that his eyes tended to kinder, wearing a pair of glasses. He seemed more like a scholar rather than a businessman.
âBradwen, I received a chess board a few days ago. How about playing with me after lunch?â asked Steffan.
Bradwen smiled and said: âI want to play chess so badly. Okay, letâs see whoâs better this time. I remember you always win me in the past.â
Steffan nodded and replied, âGood, letâs start after lunch.â
Smiling, Helena said, âYouâre getting old. Others have already retired at your age and are enjoying their life, while you just like to go to the company and play chess. Well, I will be happy if you can change your hobby and learn to relax yourself.â
Steffan didnât say anything but listened quietly.
Cora said with a smile, âAuntie Helena, I think this is a good hobby. Itâs good for self-cultivation and nurturing patience. My dad also loves playing chess. No wonder they can be old friends for decades.â
Helena only smiled with no reply.
At this moment, Savannah walked in with 15cm high stiletto heels, carrying an LV bag in her hand. When she saw Cora sitting on the sofa, she was so excited that she ran towards her hurriedly and asked in shock, âYou are back?â
Cora stood up when Savannah hugged her enthusiastically, âWhen did you come back? Why havenât you called me?â
Cora smiled and said, âTwo days ago. Sorry, I am just busy with my job. I come to visit you once I am free today.â
Savannah sat together with Cora and asked, âHave you seen my brother?â
Cora nodded.
Savannah said directly, âThen when will you reunite with him?â
Zachariah and Ophelia overheard this when they got downstairs. Helena said in an angry tone, âHow can you ask such a question? Your brother has been married for four years. Others will misunderstand it if they hear this.â
Savannah curled her lips in disdain, and said, âMom, what kind of sister-in-law is she? She doesnât have a good family background and is as poor as a church mouse. I think there must be some reasons for my brother to marry her at that time, and sheâs coming for our money. I have never admitted her as my sister. Only you treat her as your daughter-in-law.â
âStop talking nonsense! Is this how I teach you to treat your relatives?â Helena got angry and scolded her.
Savannah looked at Cora aggrievedly and said, âI donât know which spellbound my sister has performed to my mom, making her lose her mind and love her so much. She even loves her more than me.â

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 A flicker of stern passed through Coraâs eyes, but she was still smiling, âSavannah, Auntie always treats people fairly. Your sister-in-law must have extraordinary merits to win her love.â
Savannah was about to saying something when Ophelia suddenly said, âWe have to go downstairs.â
Ophelia held Zachariahâs arm, while he simply glanced at her and didnât drop her hand.
When they were downstairs, both Ophelia and Zachariah sat on the other side of sofa.
Savannah glanced at her with disdain and said in such a loud voice that everyone present could hear her, âA substitute is always a substitute. Once the genuine returns, the substitute should withdraw.â
