Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 146

Looking at Ophelia, who was huddling in the quilt with only her head out, Zachariah was tenderly moved to see her sleeping face which somehow looked delicate and vulnerable for the moment.

He walked up, reached out his hand to her face — it was cold. He was again afflicted by nameless dull pain in his heart, and asked, "How long has she fallen asleep."

"About two hours. Listen, I don't mean to treat you in that way, Mr. Chambers. But if you could just treat Ophelia better before, I would have greeted you properly just now." Madeleine softened her tone and said.

With his eyes still fixed on Ophelia's sleeping face, he answered, "She is mine, and I will do what I have to do. Just watch your tongue, stop brainwashing her and she will then be fine."

Madeleine sneered out of anger. Previously, she thought that maybe there would be a chance to get along with the man in peace, while she now chose to withdraw her views and regarded him as a man that she disdained to ever get involved with for the rest of her life.

"Could you just please try to be nice, Mr. Chambers?" With her arms folded over her chest, Madeleine said.

Zachariah responded with a cold glance at her, "I'm sorry, but I just fail to count you as the sort of woman that I can try to be nice with, though I must confess that you're quite attractive."

With her lips quirked up, Madeleine was wondering whether he was complimenting her or not, "Anyway, thanks for your compliment, Mr. Chambers. However, I also have to confess that I have never counted you as a real man, since never have I ever seen a man as rude as you!"

Ignoring her words, Zachariah tenderly pulled back the quilt and was about to pick her up from the bed. However, Madeleine stopped her and said, "What're you doing, Mr. Chambers?"

"I'm taking her back." Said Mr. Chambers bluntly.

"She is already asleep, and barely she could have any chance to take such a good rest! What if you incidentally woke her up?" Asked Madeleine.

"That will be great." Unemotionally, Zachariah answered.

"Just please show her a single bit of your care and tenderness!" Madeleine bit her lips and said.

"It is totally up to me and her. Stay out of our business, outsider." Said Zachariah.

Incredibly, Madeleine pointed at herself and said, "Seriously? Me? An outsider?"

Zachariah turned to her and gave her a glance, a glance as if he was repeating his previous announcement.

Madeleine shrugged her shoulder and gave up arguing with him. She had long known clearly the essence of Zachariah — an ignorant and eccentric asshole.

"Fine, I give up. Just take her back when she wakes up." Madeleine said.

However, at the next moment, Zachariah picked Ophelia up from the bed and carried her in his arms, heading back to the front door without speaking anything to Madeleine. Madeleine came up and stopped him, "Hey, could you just please show some respect to me, gentleman?"

Zachariah answered, "Go away."

With her face turned pale, Madeleine couldn't help yelling out, "How dare…!"
