Chapter 165 Promise

Ophelia smiled reluctantly and said, “Nothing. She just let me tell you that she and your secretary went
to the maternity checkup today, and said the child is very healthy. She also said that you and she will
soon get married. Congratulations, Mr. Chambers! I will not show up at your wedding, it’s quite
inappropriate that your ex-wife appeared at your wedding.”

Zachariah looked at her, “You don’t have to be serious about what she said. Even if we divorce, I will
take care of you and the child, and you will never be troubled by money.”

Ophelia lay on the bed, her hand couldn't help but grab Zachariah's hand, looking at him sincerely, “Mr.
Chambers, no matter what happens to us in the future, I am grateful to you for helping me in my most
difficult time. Although we’re bond by money, you are also my lifesaver.”

Zachariah looked right into her eyes.

Ophelia smiled lightly. She looked fragile and pitiful by lying on the hospital bed without makeup, and
her sincere words immediately hit Zachariah's heart.

Zachariah found that he was getting softer and softer towards Ophelia.

He couldn't help but reach out and caress her head, changing the subject, “Tired?”

Ophelia rubbed her cheek against his hand and said, “Mr. Chambers, will you be there for me tonight?
Our child and I need you.”

Zachariah put his hand over her eyes and said, “Sleep, I'll stay with you today and bring you home
tomorrow.”

Ophelia was somewhat satisfied and patted the empty space beside her and said, “Mr. Chambers, up
here.”



Zachariah got up, originally wanted to climb into bed, but did not expect his phone to ring at this very
inappropriate time.

He took out and took a look, and his face changed slightly but soon returned to normal. He looked at
Ophelia and said, “I'm going out to take this, I'll be right back.”

Ophelia instantly guessed who this phone call was from. She was somewhat lost because she was
afraid Zachariah would not be able to stay here overnight as long as it was Cora.

Every time her relationship with Zachariah eased up a bit, Cora got involved, constantly reminding her
that she's just a substitute.

Ophelia directly covered the quilt and did not answer Zachariah.

Zachariah glanced at her, then took his phone and left the ward.

He picked up the phone outside the house and said, “Cora, how’s today’s checkup?”

“Zachariah, the doctor said the baby is well, but you, you blew me off twice today, I’m a little pissed.
How are you going to make it up to me?”

Cora pretended that she was angry and pouting.

Zachariah said patiently and softly, “It’s good that you and the baby are fine. It’s getting late, you go to
bed early, and I’ll go check up on you tomorrow morning.”

Cora said with some disappointment on the other side of the phone, “Zachariah, aren't you coming over
now?”

“I’m not going tonight, I still got work to do. Be good, go to bed early, it's good for you, and for the
baby.”



There was suddenly no sound on the other side of the phone, almost ten seconds or so, then Cora’s
voice came, chocking, “Haven't you noticed that you are getting more and more isolated to me?”

Zachariah was stunned for a moment and said as gently as he could, “Cora, good girl, I have not
changed my mind about you, I’m only a little busy this period of time.”

“Zachariah, I am a woman, women are suspicious and sensitive, especially to the man she loves.
When I left the country right before our wedding in spite of your feelings, that’s my fault, but I also
regret it. This time I left everything abroad to come back home just to be with you, can you feel it?”

Zachariah said, “Cora, I'm just busy with work. I will take the time to take you abroad for a vacation.”

“When? Give me a specific time. You have blown me off several times, I will be upset even I
understand you. Your attitude towards me is changing too fast, which makes me very disappointed.”

Cora was tired of pretending and directly showed her tough side.

Zachariah frown. He was very macho and was used to women being submissive to him, except for the
woman he loved, of course. He can tolerate his beloved woman’s occasional capricious pampering. But
as she said, he was not as tolerant of her as he was at the beginning, and he didn’t know since when
he didn't have the strong desire for her that he thought he did.

Perhaps, his feelings for Cora were just a seeking excitement. Men believed that the woman they could
never get was always the best.

“Cora, be good. When I’m not that busy, I will take time to take you on a vacation abroad.”

Cora cried on the other side of the phone, with heartache in her voice, “Zachariah, you always told me
to be good, fine, I’ll be good. But it doesn’t mean you can ignore me. I was born into a wealthy family,
and my education and ability are no worse than anyone else's, but I'm willing to be a shady mistress for



you, and now I'm even pregnant with your child. I just want a promise from you, is this really that
difficult?”
