Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 196

“Mrs. Miriam, I’m not that delicate. The doctor said that I’m pretty fit. What’s more, I haven’t cooked for a while and wanted to do something nice for Zachariah.”

Mrs. Miriam looked at Ophelia lovingly, “Young Mister, I know that you are quite a virtuous woman and it is Young Master’s blessing to be able to marry you. I’m beyond happy to see you two all lovey-dovey. I’ve been working at the Chambers for years and basically watched Young Master growing up and honestly see him as my son, so I really want you two to be together. Maybe it’s because I came from a poor family, I always think that you are the best fit for Young Master. He wouldn’t be so considerate if it were for other girls coming from wealthy family.”

Holding Mrs. Miriam’s hand, Ophelia smiled, “Mrs. Miriam, me and Zachariah both see you as our seniors. We definitely would be happy together!”

“That would be wonderful.”

When they got to the local market, it seemed like that everyone there knew Mrs. Miriam and asked her excitedly, “Miriam, is this your daughter or your daughter-in-law? How lovely. She is pregnant? When is the baby due? Nowadays it’s pretty rare to see young people accompanying old folks to buy groceries.”

Mrs. Miriam was beaming with smiles, “She is my employer’s daughter-in-law. She got time today and wanted to go outside with me.”

Ophelia grinned, “Hi, auntie, could you give us some discounts on the veggies since I’m new here? Mrs. Miriam always said that you have the most delicious food in the market.”

The vendor immediately got delighted and said, “How sweet are you! okay, I will give you 20% off on all the vegetables you bought here.”

While they were shopping around in the market, Ophelia garnered quite many compliments from the vendors since it was rare that a stunning girl who is just like a movie star would show up here.

The two got a bunch of groceries from the market, including some chicken and pork chops.

After returning to the home, Mrs. Miriam said, “Young Mister, you can have some rest first and I will call you when I get the materials ready.”

“Mrs. Miriam, let me prepare with you. It would be a lot of fun.”

Mrs. Miriam wasn’t able to persuade Ophelia to rest and just agreed.

While they were preparing together, Ophelia asked, “Mrs. Miriam, are you living together with your oldest son and daughter-in-law?”

“Right, I wanted to live with my little son, but my oldest one and his wife insisted on me living with them, so I had no choice but to move in with them.”

Ophelia beamed, “How sweet, Mrs. Miriam. Your sons are all so obedient and love you. Is it your little son that visited you a while ago? He is quite a fine-looking young man. Where is he working?”

Mrs. Miriam chuckled, “He was working in a private firm as a manager before, but he passed the civil servant examination three months ago and just changed the job. Though he wasn’t highly-payed, it was stable and had great benefits.”
