They went upstairs and entered the bedroom. Ophelia got out of Zachariahâs shoulder and walked to the window alone, looking out. She looked a little glum.
Zachariah walked to her, put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, âNot happy?â
Ophelia shook her head.
Sheâs just a little confused. She didnât know how to define her relationship with Zachariah right now. Although sheâs going to get a divorce, she was dependent on him subconsciously.
âDonât worry, Iâll fight for Tommyâs custody for you. I wonât let mom and Dad torture you any more.â Zachariah promised.
Ophelia turned around and looked at Zachariah. She said, âWhy are you being so nice to me? Even though I set you up to have sex with another woman and then take advantage of your guilt to divorce you, you are always there for me.â
Zachariah said with a smile, âBecause you are my wife.â
Ophelia was moved to tears. She looked away so Zachariah couldnât read her mind.
âWeâre getting a divorce, donât you remember?â Ophelia said in a hoarse voice.
âAs long as we havenât signed the divorce papers, youâre my woman.â Zachariah said in a bossy voice.
âAnd youâre destined to be my woman forever.â he thought.
He divorced Ophelia and separated temporarily to get a purer and more beautiful start with her. He had never wanted to give up her.
âThank you!â A thousand words turned into such courtesy which was what she wanted to say sincerely.
Zachariah stroked her head fondly. âI donât want you to thank me. I want you to be happy every day. I surely promise you a divorce but I wonât let go of you and Iâm sure it wonât be long before you come back to the Chambers family as my loving wife.â
Ophelia was moved with a fluctuating mood.
What Zachariah said was not sweet words and it is better than sweet words, which nearly melted her heart. Zachariah was a heartstealer and he was so good that not many women could be immune to his charms, including her.
Despite her initial crush on Tassach, she fell in love with Zachariah after they were together night and day for years.
She wanted to keep staying in Zachariahâs arms and pour out all her grievances and confusion. She wasnât trying to win sympathy but just didnât want to be so tired. Her impending blindness made her confused and fear that when she finally could not see anything, she would really be useless.
But when she saw Zachariahâs unconditional doting eyes, Ophelia swallowed her pain and fought back the impulse to speak. She didnât dare or want to bet on Tommy.
Ophelia stepped back from Zachariah quietly and kept a distance. âIâm going to check Tommy.â
Seeing her dodging, Zachariah was surprised. He knew he should take one step at a time. After all, he held the trump card. He had never wanted to give up Ophelia. Divorce only meant a temporary separation and they would be together finally when the time was right.
âIâll go with you.â
âNo. I want to see him by myself.â
Zachariah didnât insisted.
For three days in a row, all members of the Chambers family had been in a bad mood because of Ophelia and Zachariahâs impending divorce. The gentle and generous Mrs. Chambers was no longer smiling. This morning, Zachariah wiped his mouth after breakfast and said casually, âMom, Dad, today Ophelia and I will sign the divorce papers. Ophelia will get the custody of Tommy. And I have had my lawyer draw up the marriage settlement.â
Mrs. Chambers, who was eating breakfast slowly and elegantly, slammed down his chopsticks, looked at Zachariah angrily and barked, âNo way!â
Zachariah said, âMom, the divorce is between Ophelia and me. I hope you can respect me. Tommy is young and itâs best for him to go with his mom.â
âYou little bastard!â Mrs. Chambers was furious. âTommy is the oldest grandson of the Chambers family. I had never heard of an oldest grandson of an aristocratic family being reduced to being on the streets.
I donât approve of your divorce. Iâve kept telling you not to get a divorce for so many times while you turn a deaf ear to it. Well, Iâm too old to discipline you but Tommy must stay in the Chambers family. No one is gonna take Tommy unless I die.â
Opheliaâs eyes flashed with pain.
âMrs. Chambers...â
âStop it. I donât have a daughter-in-law like you. All these days Iâve been telling you to think about it and not to get divorced. What a double-faced woman you are to agree overtly but oppose covertly. Well, now that you insist on a divorce and disdain to being the daughter-in-law of the Chambers family, leave the Chambers family which is too humble a place for such noble you.â

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 Mrs. Chambers was really angry now.
As she said, she liked Ophelia. However, what Ophelia did these days broke her heart. She didnât think Zachariahâs cheating on Ophelia was not unforgivable. There were numerous couples who pretended to love each other in aristocratic families. Both spouses have several lovers respectively.
However, they still wanted to maintain the marriage and keep their spouses.
Hence, when she found out that Zachariah was with Cora who she came back from abroad, she didnât try to interfere even though she was not comfortable with it. She could turn a blind eye to that as long as Cora didnât try to be the daughter-in-law of the Chambers family. She thought itâs quite normal for men to flirt with women outside. The daughter-in-law of an aristocratic family who boasted the status and wealth which couldnât be imagined by ordinary people should be open-minded about it. How could Ophelia be a noble lady if she had no tolerance?
She had always saw Ophelia as a sensible girl but she had never expected her to be so bad-tempered that she even wanted to get a divorce. She was very disappointed so she stopped being friendly to her but was very hard on her.lightnoveldaily.com The Vixen's Man
