Savannah couldnât believe what Zachariah said and looked at him angrily while stamping her feet in rage, âYou go too far. How can you all scold me for an outsider? I just hate her and I will never apologize to her.â
After saying this, Savannah directly went upstairs.
Helena grabbed Opheliaâs hands and said, âSheâs like a wild child and loves playing. Donât be angry with her words.â
Ophelia smiled, âMom, donât worry. Sheâs my sister and I wonât blame her. I just hope to accompany Zachariah as long as I could.â
Helena petted her hands in satisfaction, âYouâre a good girl.â
Zachariah stood beside them and said, âMom, I still have work to deal with and will be back before dinner.â
âAre you still busy in the weekend?â
âYes, itâs technical problem. I will be back once itâs done.â
Helena looked at him disapprovingly, âYou should accompany your wife on weekends. Donât act like your father, and become a workaholic.â
Ophelia tried to comfort her and said, âMom, the Chambers Group is really a big company with thousands of employees. I understand that Zachariah carries a great deal of pressure to work or even work extra time on weekends. Donât blame him.â
âItâs your fortune to have such a considerate wife. I know youâre busy, but donât forget to live a happy life. Although Ophelia doesnât blame you, I am really angry at your behaviour. I donât have a job, but I am not silly. I know what youâre thinking about. If you really want Cora to be your girlfriend again, you donât have to call me mom anymore. I will never admit her and will never let her get into our family.â Helena reminded him in a serious tone.
Zachariahâs expression sunk and looked at Ophelia with a complicated expression.
Helena noticed it and asked, âWhat are you doing? You said you still have job to do in the company. Hurry up.â
Zachariah nodded and left.
âHeâs already an adult and donât have to scold him like this. Heâs a good man and can balance his work and life. You shouldnât interrupt too much.â
said Steffan.
Helena said to Ophelia, âItâs time to take a nap.â
Ophelia nodded.
After she got upstairs, Helena sat beside Steffan and asked him, âAre you still intending to break up a married couple?â
Steffan pretended to be deaf and absorbed himself in reading newspaper.
Helena suddenly grabbed the newspaper and continued asking, âSay something. Stop acting like this anymore. I have told you that Ophelia is my dream daughter-in-law and others can never get the chance, especially Cora. I will never let her step into our family.â
Steffan gave her a weird look and said, âWhatâs good about Ophelia? Sheâs simply an ordinary girl from a poor family. You should know why Zachariah married her. It canât be denied that Cora did terrible things to our son. However, now sheâs back with her parents and visits us in person.
What are you angry at? I remembered you used to treat her so nice. Whatâs wrong with you?â
âWell, youâre really generous by forgetting what she had done to our son. Donât you remember that she ran away with her new boyfriend? What does she think of our son? What does she think of our family? Do you really think she can be forgiven simply by dropping by? Sheâs too naïve.â
Helena was a nice person. However, she would be extremely cruel if someone irritated her and it would take a life time for them to be forgiven. How much she liked Cora then, and how much she hated her now.
Steffan grabbed the newspaper and said calmly, âYou donât have to worry about it anymore. It is our sonâs marriage and he will make his own decision. However, I have noticed that he is still thinking about Cora. Well, never mind. We canât make decision for him.â
âWhat do you mean? Do you think I am nosy?â
Steffan hugged her in his arms and said gently, âI will transfer all my work to Zachariah after a few days and take you on a vacation abroad. I have heard that there is a town with extremely wonderful view, clear sky and beautiful clouds. You will like it once you get there.â
Helenaâs mood finally became better.
âAre you still angry?â
âWell, I wonât be angry if you stand by my side, but we should care about our sonâs happiness. I know you are not satisfied with Opheliaâs family background. Sheâs our daughter-in-law, anyway. We canât break our family rule by letting our son marry another woman again. Thereâs no exception, even though he is our son.â
âHoney, you are really pushing him. They would get divorce if they donât like each other anymore. How can you force them to be together?â
Staring at him, Helena asked, âDo you mean you support his reunion with Cora?â
