Zachariah frowned, but still took Cora into his arms gently and said, "Donât cry. It was my fault last night. I got drunk and did that, so Iâll be responsible for you."
Cora snuggled up to Zachariah and said, "Zach, you made me so painful last night, but I wonât blame you for that. Ever since our relationship begins, Iâm willing to give you my body, but you keep saying you want to save it when we get married. Now that you took my virginity, Iâve really become your woman, and you can never let me down from now on."
Naturally, Zachariah had seen the blood stain on the sheet, and felt tender toward Cora even more. He said gently, "Just rest assured. I wonât let you down. Since youâre my woman, I will never have you suffer wrong again."
Cora smiled smugly but said in a soft voice, "Zach, I donât want to force you to marry me, but you were overwhelming last night, and I didnât have the time to use protection. Iâm afraid Iâll get pregnant. If I do, I donât want my baby to be a bastard."
Zachariah looked gloomy. To be honest, he secretly didnât want to marry Cora. Although he told her he loved her all the time, he didnât really want to marry her. But he suppressed the idea and thus it didnât grow stronger.
Zachariah had been in the business world for years. Since he was able to make the Chambers Familyâs business booming, clearly, he played his cards well. However, now he kept telling himself that he loved Cora, so he was fooled by her little trick.
"Zach, whatâs wrong with you? Why donât you say anything? Do you think Iâm disgracing myself by giving my body to you so you donât want to marry me anymore? Zach, you know Iâm not that kind of person. But if you really donât want to marry me, I wonât force you. Iâll just go back to Europe now and never contact you in the future. If I get pregnant, Iâll bring up my child alone."
With teary eyes, Cora wanted to shove Zachariah off the bed. However, the next moment, she was held by him and heard him saying, "Cora, you took me wrong. I was just thinking about something. I told you I would get a divorce and marry you. Youâre the woman Iâve been expecting for years, and Iâll never make you suffer."
"Zach, now that you said that, Iâm relieved," Cora said tenderly, "Zach, take a shower and go to work. I need to have a rehearsal because I might have to attend a small concert tonight."
Zachariah nodded and said, "Since it was your first night, tell me if you feel uncomfortable. Donât force yourself, got it?"
"Zach, I see."
Zachariah got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. Cora took his phone and called Ophelia. When the call was answered, Cora said, "Miss Ophelia, itâs me. Iâm pregnant with Zachâs baby. If you have the least self-knowledge, divorce him as soon as possible. Otherwise, you would be embarrassing yourself."
Ophelia just asked composedly on the other end of the line, "Youâre with him now?"
"If I was not with him, how could I get his phone? The moment you left home last night, Zach asked me to visit your house. Although itâs no match for the Chambers Mansion, itâs still a warm and sweet home, and I like it. I believe it will become Zach and my home very soon. When I give birth to the baby, weâll make a sweet family."
Happy, Cora said sweetly.
Ophelia, however, appeared extraordinarily calm. "Miss Fletcher, have you finished? If thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up now. I still need to work and donât have the time to chat with you."
After that, Ophelia just hung up.
Cora smiled complacently at the phone and said, "Ophelia Lowe, I just want to see how long you can last. Zach is mine. Youâre nothing but my substitute. Scram!"
The new sweetheart was laughing while the old love was crying.
Ophelia, who was already in the company reporting for duty, clutched her phone with a sullen face. She didnât even notice it when Tassach got up from the sofa and walked up to her.
Tassach pulled her to the sofa and had her sit down, saying gently, "Ophelia, are you OK?"
Ophelia came to her senses, forced a smile and said, "Iâm fine."
A perfect smile spread across Tassachâs face. Just like a breath of fresh air, he was a real gentleman, and it was relaxing to be around someone like him.
"Ophelia, weâve known each other for years. If you donât mind, you may tell me whatâs bothering you."
Ophelia just shook her head and said, "Mr. Conduibh, itâs working time, and I donât want to influence the work because of my personal affairs."
Tassach smiled and said, "Donât worry. I run this corporation. I do whatever I want, and no one can ever control me."
Ophelia couldnât help but laugh and say, "Mr. Conduibh, youâre the legal person of this corporation, so you should make yourself an example to others. Otherwise, how could you convince all your subordinates? If thereâs nothing else, Iâll go out to work now."
Tassach held Opheliaâs hand and said, "You donât look good. Stay for a while and let me make you a cup of hot tea. When youâre in a better mood, you may go out. I donât want my subordinates to believe that I exploit the new hire the first day she comes to work."

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 Ophelia burst into laughter and said, "Mr. Conduibh, youâre so funny."
"Ophelia, this is my office, and you donât have to be so polite. Just call my name." Tassach made a cup of hot tea, held it to her and said.
Ophelia took the tea and smiled, "Weâre in the company, so we should follow the rules. Otherwise, people would gossip about me, the new hire, swaggering around relying on you. Pulling strings isnât a good thing to do to begin with. If I act more differently, people will get jealous of me."
In the workplace, one couldnât be more careful about each word he said and each action he took.
