Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 508

Ophelia walked into the hotel despite herself. She pushed open the door, her mind going blank for a moment as she saw the tall figure standing by the bed. She felt as if a generation had passed since she had last seen him.

Standing in the doorway, Ophelia was afraid that their good old days were gone forever once she went in. She stared blankly at Zachariah’s back with mixed emotions in her eyes.

During this five-year marriage, their relationship went from strangeness, to indifference, to estrangement and finally to love. Ophelia had tried so hard to hide her emotions and put on a nonchalant look all the time, but she couldn’t fool herself or conceal her true feelings about him, even though she managed to make herself look confident and tough.

In this marriage, she was the one who lacked confidence in herself. Each of his moves pulled at her heartstrings and caused her mood swings. She had spent countless nights weeping while watching his face.

She always felt as if she was on thin ice in this marriage. There were so many uncertainties, which made her anxious for all these years. Finally, he fell in love with her, but they had to break up when they were deep in love with each other.

Ophelia stared at Zachariah for a long time before she came to her senses as he walked up to her.

Zachariah stroked her cheek, which startled her, and she flinched. He saw this and his eyes darkened. The next moment, he reached out to seize her wrist and found her hand so cold, his face sullen. He took her in his arms from behind and rubbed her hands, and didn’t let go until her hands turned warm.

"Ophelia, let me explain. There’s nothing between Cora and I, and I don’t know why we ended up lying in the same bed. That’s the truth. You have to believe me. I love you," Zachariah whispered in her ear as he rested his chin on her shoulder.

Ophelia’s eyes turned red all of a sudden. She closed her eyes and choked back her tears. When she opened her eyes again, she shook his hands off, turned around and stared at him with determination. "Zachariah, I’ve thought about it all night, and I think what you have for me is simply compassion. The one you really love is Cora. Let’s get a divorce. There’s no point maintaining a loveless marriage, and both of us would get hurt. It’s better for us to break up. Don’t worry. I want nothing but Tommy."

Zachariah’s face clouded over with anger.

"Say it again."

Ophelia looked up and fixed her eyes on his face, saying slowly after taking a deep breath, "Zachariah, let’s get a divorce."

Zachariah scowled at her. He had assumed that Ophelia wouldn’t ask for a divorce so easily even if he had done something wrong for real. They were so in love just a few days ago. She snuggled up to him, telling him she loved him and would never leave him alone. He didn’t believe at all that a woman who loved him so much would demand a divorce so soon.

Zachariah didn’t believe it, nor would he believe it. He would rather believe all this was because what had happened yesterday was such a huge blow to her that she became upset and lost all her reason.

Zachariah took a deep breath and his tone softened. "Ophelia, you’re too upset to think straight now. Let’s go back and get some rest. Let’s talk about it again after you get enough sleep. I don’t want to make excuses, and I apologize for what I did last night. I’m sorry. But to err is human. Can you give me another chance?"

Ophelia’s eyes grew misty.

If she didn’t plan to leave him while he cheated on her, she would feel sad and upset at first, but she would finally forgive him, just because she loved him. However, her condition would get worse at any time and she could wait no longer. The last thing she wanted was to have him see her becoming a blind person.
