Chapter 318 I Am Leaving

Zachariah gently tapped on her nose, saying in a doting way, “Of course I know how to cook.”

“But you never…”

“That was because I didn’t want to.”

Ophelia felt into silence.

“What? You don’t want to cook together with me?”

Ophelia shook her head.

Both of them seemed to ignore Madaleine, who was still standing beside.

Zachariah reached out his finger to raise up Ophelia’s jaw while fixing his eyes on her face. He huffed
gently, “What’s wrong? You are surprised to know that I can cook?”

Ophelia shook her head and got herself rid of the sense of upset flashing across in her mind. She
replied with a smile, “I was just wondering if you would cook whatever I ask for.”

Zachariah nodded to reply.

“I want to taste stewed chicken mixed with mushroom, may I?”

Zachariah nodded.

Then he stood up and reached out his hand to beckon her over. Ophelia rested her hand upon his big
palm as she noticed that. However, not until she suddenly saw Madeleine still standing alone the next
second did she realize that she totally forgot about her as she was too amazed by Zachariah’s great
charm a moment ago.



No wonder Madeleine once accused her of her valuing Zachariah only.

Ophelia hurried to pull her own hand away from Zachariah’s grip. Her awkward cough sounded,
“Madeleine, what do you want for dinner? Just seize the opportunity since Mr. Chambers would like to
serve as the chef today.”

Madeleine faked smiling with her arms crossed on her chest, “Mr. Chambers, I just wonder if I have the
honor to taste your dishes.”

Zachariah replied with a cold glimpse, “No.”

Ophelia patted on his arm and said to Madeleine awkwardly, “Madeleine, he is just kidding. Don’t mind
it.”

As it had been a routine for Madeleine to face such a cold response from Zachariah, she didn’t seem to
be annoyed. She just shrugged and said, “Well, since I look like an unwelcomed guest, I’d better leave
myself now. Alright, bye. Just enjoy your romantic hours.”

However, Ophelia deemed that her bestie was irritated. So she hurried to say, “Madeleine, don’t be
mad.”

Madeleine smiled to reply, “Girl, come on, you know who I am. Don’t deem me so inflammable.” While
speaking, she reached over to whisper to Ophelia, “I try to spare you a chance to stay with him alone. I
am tired of being a third wheel while he keeps complaining about me. Just enjoy your candlelight
dinner tonight.”

Hearing that, Ophelia felt moved, “Are you sure you don’t want to stay for dinner?”

Madeleine shook her head and said, “I am fine. I can cook myself some noodles at home. Just enjoy
your stay with Mr. Chambers. Call me if you need. Just stop asking me for a stay. But if he dares to



bully you again, just call me and I will be here to kick his ass.”

Amused by her joking tone, Ophelia still felt warm in her heart.

Madeleine waved her hand and said, “I am leaving.” Then she turned to say to Zachariah, “Mr.
Chambers, I am leaving now in case you feel like being bothered. And please stop being so narrow-
minded. You ain’t look cute if you remain so.”

After saying that, she hurried to change her shoes and fled with full speed.

Looking at the door slammed by Madeleine, Ophelia turned around to look at Zachariah. Then she let
out a seemingly wry smile, “Well, Mr. Chambers, are you being narrow-minded?”

Zachariah still stared at her dotingly and gently scratched her nose with his fingertip again, “You can tell
the answer by yourself.”

Ophelia couldn’t help smiling as she was so delighted now.

Zachariah got really addicted to the feminine side of Ophelia—she looked lovely, charming and
sometimes as pure as a little girl. He was so intoxicated by her changing glamor.

Before that, he used to deem it a waste of time to stay together with her. He used to mistake her as a
gold digger though with sexy look. He had never thought about spending time knowing more about her.
As a result, he did lose so much precious moment. But now, he deemed it a great fortune that he finally
opened his mind for her, and he was able to explore a different side of her. Not until then did he realize
that she was actually so cute and adorable as well.

Ophelia wrapped around his waist with both arms and leaned against his chest just like a little kitty,
whispering, “Honey, I miss you so much.”



Obviously, Zachariah seemed to be lit up by her sweetness. He couldn’t help smiling and hugged her
tight. Now both of their bodies were even clinging to each other.

“Me the same.”

Ophelia had never been so relaxed while resting in his hug. She felt like sticking to him forever.

Zachariah reached out his hand to feel her hairs. His deep voice sounded attractive, “Did you keep
your diet on time when I was not here with you?”

Ophelia smiled, “I managed to turn my sadness into appetite when I stayed alone. I took even more
food at that time. I feel like putting tons of pounds on my body.”

Zachariah rested his palm on her belly and joked, “Let’s see if you did put on tons of pounds here.”

Ophelia beamed even more.

After a few minutes of tender talk, Ophelia suddenly said, “Honey, you should know that Madeleine
didn’t mean to offend you. I know you have been generous. Just forgive her, okay.”

Zachariah pinched her jaw and huffed with a trace of jealousy, “Well, it seems that sometimes you even
care more about her.”

Ophelia looked straight into his eyes. Then she couldn’t help chuckling, “Honey, are you being
jealous?”
