âYou little bastard. All right, you may get a divorce if you insist but Tommy must stay in the Chambers family.â Mr. Chambers has the same attitude as Mrs. Chambers.
Zachariahâs eyes became serious. âDad, Tommyâs young. Heâs supposed to be with his mom.â
Mr. Chambers was angrier.
âBastard! Tommy is the oldest grandson of the Chambers family. I will not allow him to wander far from the family.â
âDad, Ophelia and I are just splitting up temporarily. I will bring her and Tommy home in due course. Ophelia will still be the daughter-in-law of the Chambers family and Tommy will still be the oldest grandson of the Chambers family. Everything will be the sameâ Zachariah promised.
Mr. Chambers waved his hand and said, âDonât tell me this bullshit. I canât get your point, young man. But Iâm not going to let Tommy go. I wonât give Tommy up to anyone else. You donât care about dignity but your mother and I do.â
Zachariahâs attitude was resolute. âDad, Ophelia and I are Tommyâs guardians. We have the right to decide who gets the custody of him.â
Mr. Chambers looked at him seriously.
âZachariah, let me be clear. I have no objection to your divorce but Tommy will stay in the Chambers family.â Mr. Chambers said firmly.
Zachariah pursed his lips and stared at Mr. Chambers, hating to show white feather.
âGet out of here. Weâll talk about it tomorrow.â Mr. Chambers waved his hand and bade him go.
Zachariah left anyway.
Itâs gonna be a rough night for everyone.
The next morning, after breakfast, Mr. Chambers called the servants out and the family sat down in two groups. Group 1: Mr.
Chambers, Mrs. Chambers and Savannah; Group 2: of course, Zachariah and Ophelia.
Mr. Chambers took a quick look at Ophelia and said, âOphelia, I heard from Mrs. Chambers that youâre getting a divorce with Zachariah. Is that true?â
Ophelia folded her hands nervously.
âMr. Chambers, I was going to talk to you about it a few days later but now that you know it, I have nothing to hide.â
âYou and Zachariah were doing great. Why do you make the decision all of a sudden?â Mr. Chambers asked forcefully and aggressively.
âI...â
Zachariah patted her hand and answered for her, âDad, we have discussed it. Itâs all my fault. Donât be hard on her. It was me to mention a divorce first.â
Mr. Chambersâ face clouded.
âOphelia, tell me. Are you really going to divorce Zachariah?â Mr. Chambers kept asking, still looking at Ophelia.
âOkay, it is your own decision and as an elder, I donât want to interfere with you too much but Tommy must stay in the Chambers family.â Mr.
Chambers assumed an air of negotiation.
Opheliaâs hands were tightly clasped with her face growing pale.
âOf course, you were the Chambers familyâs daughter-in-law so weâll take care of you after the divorce. Iâll ask Zachariah to help you settle down and live in plenty the rest of your life. But youâre not allowed to visit Tommy. He will be the heir of the Chambers family and must not become indecisive because of you.â
Mr. Chambers said coldly.
Ophelia stared at Mr. Chambers in disbelief.
âI can forgo anything else after the divorce but I have to go with Tommy,â Ophelia blurted out excitedly and nervously, with her heart racing.
âOphelia, you know it well. Did you see any children of the Chambers family living outside the family? You may get a divorce but I wonât let Tommy go with you.â Mr. Chambers said with a faint smile on his face.
Ophelia was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Zachariah patted her hand and said, âDad, Iâll deal with Tommyâs custody. Can you and Mom leave us alone?â
Mr. Chambers glared at him and said to Ophelia, âOphelia, we donât approve of the divorce. We wonât interfere if you insist on it but you canât take away Tommy. Of course, weâll give you a substantial sum of money after the divorce but you canât visit Tommy in future.â
Ophelia was stunned. She hadnât expected Mr. Chambers to say such unkind words which were almost the same as Mrs. Chambers said and she started to wonder whether their love for her was real or just pretence.

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 Zachariah frowned and said, âDad.â
Mr. Chambers gave Zachariah a defiant look and said, âZachariah, I know itâs up to both of you but as I said, Iâm not interfering with your marriage but Tommyâs custody is vested in the Chambers family.â
Ophelia stood up from the sofa suddenly. Suppressing the anxiety, she said seriously, âMr. Chambers, giving birth to Tommy was a near-death experience for me. Heâs my life. I could get over what Savannah did to me but I could never leave Tommy in the Chambers family. Savannah hired someone to run me over when I was pregnant and maybe she might have a grudge against Tommy. I donât trust her who is not friendly to Tommy. Iâll take Tommy with me even if I get divorced. I can give up any penny from the Chambers family but Iâll take Tommy. Thatâs my bottom line.â
Savannah, who had been gloating, jumped to her feet and pointed to Ophelia after she set her on fire. âOphelia, youâre slinging mud at me. I surely was unwise and made an unforgivable mistake but I apologized and I was chided seriously by Zachariah. I have realized my mistake. What are you doing by bringing this up again and again and making me the bad guy?â
Ophelia took a look at her indifferently.
âMr. and Mrs. Chambers, Tommy is young and itâs best for him to stay with me. Even if Zachariah and I get a divorce, you can visit Tommy any time you want. Iâm not gonna stop you from seeing each other. After the divorce, I will have almost nothing left and if I give up Tommy, I will have nothing to look forward to. For the sake of our kinship for years, please give me the custody of Tommy and Iâll ask for nothing else.â Ophelia looked at Mrs. And Mr. Chambers, bowed, and said very sincerely.
Mrs. Chambers pursed her lips, still feeling sorry for Ophelia but she would not budge on Tommyâs custody.lightnoveldaily.com The Vixen's Man
