Chapter 292 A Morning Call

Hearing that, Madeleine felt a bit guilty for bringing such a topic.

“Sorry, girl, I didn’t mean that. I have been the one with the most earnest will to wish you and Zachariah
a nice ending. You, Zachariah and your baby shall live together blissfully. I ask so out of no bad
intention. For real!”

Ophelia was even rendered a bit awkward, “Oh, Madeleine, don’t feel sorry about that. I am your
bosom friend! Of course I can tell you asked so because you are concerned about me.”

She paused and then continued, “Madeleine, to be honest, I should say thanks to you. I was so
fascinated with even mere benefit offered by Zachariah. If it weren’t because of your harsh alarm, I
would still have indulged myself in it.”

Madeleine gave her a warm hug and whispered softly, “Girl, I am so sorry. I know you have been
struggling from a little girl next door to a grown beauty as you are at this moment. I have been always
worried about you. I feel like seeing you being pushed to be mature and independent.”

Ophelia smiled and got herself away from her hug, “Stop! Stop talking to me like that as if I were one of
the innocent girls you created in your love story novel. Time to sleep. As for my relationship with
Zachariah, just let it be. Of course I would love to be with him forever. Even if not, I still have my baby,
the gift of my fate. It’s still worth having such a sweet baby for the past five years. Perhaps it would be
just destined to be if Zachariah and I still got divorced someday.”

Madeleine stared at her seriously while asking, “Girl, is it the real thought in your mind?”

Ophelia lay down and replied, “Of course. Though I love him, I am also aware that it takes too much for
me to afford it. Zachariah and I got married as contracted at that time. His family background far
outweighs mine. So we are destined to be in a disturbing relationship. I deemed at the very beginning



that he would divorce me a year later after marriage. How time flies! Now it has been five years. Soon
our baby will be born. Well, it seems that I am actually the advantaged one.”

Madeleine couldn’t help feeling sympathetic for her.

“Time to sleep. It’s late.” Ophelia’s voice sounded low.

Madeleine nodded. She reached out her hand to turn off the light. Soon, the bedroom fell into
darkness. Madeleine, still with her eyes fixing on the ceiling, suddenly sighed.

“Girl, you are still awake?” she asked.

“Almost fall asleep.” Replied Ophelia.

Madeleine sighed again and added, “Girl, I feel sorry about what I said just now. Please forgive me. I
didn’t mean that.”

Ophelia just smiled, “Come on, we have been friends for years. I know what you were thinking. I will be
mad at you if you keep on apologizing.”

Madeleine also replied with a smile. Then the room fell into silence.

Though both of them claimed to be awake just now, they soon fell into sound sleep in less than five
minutes.

In the next morning, both of them were woken up by the ringtone at 10:00 AM. Madeleine, squinting,
fumbled for a phone to answer it.

“Still sleeping?” a strange male voice sounded.

Madeleine couldn’t recognize the voice within a short time. So she responded with a seemingly rude
manner, “Sir, you got the wrong number. Don’t you know how annoying it would be to disturb ladies’



sleep?”

After saying that, she shut the line.

However, in less than a minute, ringtone sounded again. But it was Ophelia’s phone this time.

Ophelia poked Madeleine with her finger and said, “Madeleine, answer the phone. I am still sleepy.”

As inflammable as Madeleine had always been during the following minutes after getting up, plus, both
of them were disturbed in sleep, she was now burning with rage.

She picked up the phone and shouted just like a stormy raid, “No matter who the hell you are, you’d
better make the call out of urgent reason. Or I will definitely smash your ass and tear you apart! How
dare you wake me up in the midst of my sleep! Goddamn it!”

The other side showed no response perhaps out of fear.

Madeleine took a look at the screen and noticed that the number seemed to be a bit familiar though it
showed no name. She only deemed it a stranger’s call so her rage still went on, “Hey, who is it? Just
hang up if you made the wrong call. I didn’t sleep until 3:00 AM in the morning. Now I am dying for a
sleep. Thank you!”

After a few seconds of hesitation, the response finally sounded, “Madeleine, this is Wilfred. We just met
yesterday. Do you still remember?”

Madeleine was immediately driven to be sober. She asked tentatively, “Wilfred?”

“Yeah, it’s me. Now do you recognize my voice?” Madeleine got off the bed and took out the card she
got from Wilfred yesterday. She checked the number written on it. And it was exactly the one shown on
the phone. Then she apologized awkwardly, “Sorry, Wilfred, I didn’t record your number on my phone



as it was too late when I got home. Ophelia is still sleeping so I answered the phone. I am so sorry
about that. Were you startled by my temper?”

“It’s okay. You are so special even if you lost your temper. You sound cute even while swearing.”

Madeleine was rendered embarrassed and bashful.

“I am so sorry for that. But what’s the matter for the morning call, Wilfred?” Madeleine hurried to shift
the topic to another.
