Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 544

"I think Ophelia is the one who asked for a divorce first, isn’t she?" It was a question, but Helena said it affirmatively. "Don’t deny it. You’re my son and I know you well. Once you choose someone, you won’t change your mind easily. Your affair happens to provide Ophelia with an opportunity to ask for a divorce. I don’t know why she suddenly wants to divorce you, but I think it must have something to do with her eyes, and that’s why I step in and use Tommy to make her stay. Who knew you would come up with such an awful plan?"

Zachariah kept quiet.

Helena breathed a sigh and went on, "Zachariah, I’m not saying your plan is infeasible, but I’m getting old now, and I think your relationship has become more and more fragile. But maybe you’re right. There’re many unstable factors in your marriage, and probably it’s better for you and her to get a divorce and start afresh. Well, I don’t want to get involved, but you have to promise me that I can see Tommy whenever I want, even if you get a divorce."

Zachariah heaved a sigh of relief. "Mom, thank you! I can never be so generous as you," he sighed sincerely.

"After these days, I assume you must have more complaints about me than respect for me," Helena shook her head and said carelessly. "I’ve been mean to Ophelia recently, and she must have been upset too."

"She won’t take it to heart. She’s always been respectful of the elder generation."

Helena nodded.

"Zachariah, I hope you’ll make a right choice this time," she said. "But for the record, if you get a divorce and Ophelia wouldn’t accept you again, I’ll take legal action to get Tommy back. The eldest grandson of the Chambers family can’t be left out of the household."

Zachariah replied decidedly, "Mom, Ophelia belongs to me, and she belongs to only me. I won’t allow anyone else to get her. I believe she still loves me."

Probably because Zachariah was too confident of it, he was devastated when he learned that Ophelia had left this city. Then he spent the next two years looking for her in despair and numbing himself with work.

During those two years, he had pushed himself to the limit. His life was filled with work, which made Helena, who had used to like Ophelia, hate her gradually. Therefore, when Zachariah finally found her, Helena wasn’t so happy about it. In her opinion, Ophelia didn’t love Zachariah at all, nor was she a thoughtful person. So when Zachariah and Ophelia were about to get back together, she became the one to sabotage their relationship secretly.

"Since you’ve said so, I have nothing to say. I just hope you won’t keep me waiting."

"No, I won’t."

Helena nodded, saying nothing.

"Then what about dad?"

"I’ll tell dad all this. We have the same opinion. Now that I agree to the plan, he won’t say no. It’s just that you two have to be more serious about your relationship. You’re 30 now, and you can’t make the same mistake again and again."

"Mom, I won’t again. It’s not like I make mistakes all the time."

"Just because you don’t, your father and I are so angry about your affair this time. You dad even thought of disinheriting you."
