Ophelia looked at him and said, âMr. Chambers, whatâs the matter?â
Zachariah said, âThere are too many people.â
Holding his hand, just like a little girl who fell in love, Ophelia shook Zachariahâs hand as if she was a spoiled girl. She laughed, âMr. Chambers, you negotiate with people every day. Itâs surprising that you are also afraid of the crowd since you handle the business and earn hundreds of millions of dollars.â
âIâm scared at all. I just donât like such a crowd. Itâs too chattering.â
Ophelia naturally took his hand and smiled, âMr. Chambers, itâs been a hard day for you, but Iâm the birthday girl, and you promised to keep me company all day.â
Raising his hand, he pinched her nose, saying, âI neglected you too much in the past, so today Iâll make up for what I did to you before.â
Ophelia giggled. Although she knew that his tenderness was only transitory, she still willingly indulged in it.
âMr. Chambers, thank you for today. Weâve been married for four years and for the first time I feel like youâre my real husband.â
Zachariah glimpsed at her, saying with some doubt, âWas I not good to you before? I cashed you with regular monthly allowance, and I had my secretary prepare for you all the designer bags, clothes and cosmetics you fancy. I donât think other benefactors are so nice to their pets.â
She lifted the corner of her mouth, saying, âMr. Chambers, you also said that before I was just treated as a pet. Nevertheless, today you regard me as a wife. Of course, a wife will feel delighted if her husband is passionate with her.â
Hearing that, Zachariah seemed a little thoughtful.
Looking up at him, she said, âMr. Chambers, Iâm just kidding, donât take it seriously. After tonight, we still maintain a boss-employee relationship under the contract. Nothing more.â
A flash of displeasure passed through his eyes.
âOphelia, so you donât believe me, do you?â
âMr. Chambers, itâs not a matter of believing or not, but you already have another person in your heart. I canât break in even if I make every effort. I think itâs simpler for us to be a boss-employee relationship.â Pointing at his heart, Ophelia said.
Zachariah fell silent.
He looked at Ophelia who was seldom quiet and sweet. A strange feeling slipped through his heart that he had an impulse to hold the woman in front of him into his arms fiercely, and to say that he would not divorce her, but just as his hand lifted, Coraâs face flashed in his mind, forcing his impulse back.
Opheliaâs cell phone rang at this time, and she picked it up to see that it was from Madeleine.
âMadeleine.â Ophelia said as she picked up the phone.
âHoney, happy birthday, yesterday I was too busy with my draft to remember your birthday and didnât send you a happy birthday in time. Come over to my place and I prepared a birthday cake for you.â Madeleine said cheerfully on the phone.
Ophelia smiled, âWait for a while. Iâll be there soon.â
It was hard to know what Madeleine she said over there, but Ophelia kept nodding several times.
After hanging up the phone, Ophelia looked at Zachariah, smiling, âMr. Chambers, thank you for the surprise you prepared for me today. I like it very much. Madeleine has also prepared a birthday cake for me there and I want to go over there. Why donât you go back first? Or else itâs fine to turn to Miss Fletcher.â
Zachariah held her hand, and at Opheliaâs surprised gaze, he said, âDidnât you say that today you are the birthday girl, the most important one, and let me stay with you all day without leaving your side? Letâs go.â
Ophelia didnât stop smiling from this moment. Looking at Zachariah, she said, âLetâs go.â
Zachariah drove to Madeleineâs neighborhood, found a parking space to park the car, and then the two of them went upstairs together.
When Madeleine opened the door and looked at Zachariah standing beside Ophelia, she first froze and then had eye on Ophelia. Ophelia smiled, âLetâs get in first.â
Madeleine finally let them in.
Closing the door, Madeleine wrapped her hands around her chest and said, âMr. Chambers, I hope you donât mind my small apartment, or I canât afford to treat you well but to invite you out.â
Zachariah didnât mind Madeleineâs snide remarks, he just surveyed the not-so-small abode without showing any traces.
Ophelia tugged at Madeleineâs clothes and said, âMadeleine, itâs my birthday today, so please do me a favor and donât talk nonsense anymore.â

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 Madeleine wore a long face, but she quickly turned her anger into joy and said, âI donât know what could bring Mr. Chambers here. Donât tell me that you have remembered Opheliaâs birthday.â
Ophelia tugged at her clothes and changed the subject, âMadeleine, didnât you prepare a birthday cake and a present for me? Whereâs it?â
Scowling at Ophelia, Madeleine didnât mention anything more, just saying, âItâs in the living room.â
Ophelia went in and saw a two-layer cake on the table. Although it was such a small one, the cake was made very delicately, with Opheliaâs photo on it. A note was also attached, wishing Ophelia a happy birthday and always pure and beautiful.
Many kinds of fruit were put on both sides of the cake.
âHoney, it will be your birthday in two hours. Letâs get started.â Madeleine said.
Ophelia nodded.
