Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 47

Ophelia nodded and told her everything the doctor said, "The doctor told me that there are some problems with my ovary, which makes it difficult for me to get pregnant. Thus, I think I'd better divorce Zachariah, just as I have discussed with him previously."

Such an unexpected response stunned Helena and made her a little bit angry.

She shouted, "Have you just said that you guys had even been talking about divorce? Why are you keeping this from me?"

"Mom, we just don't want you to be worried."

"Wait, do you mean you two are even going to keep this a secret, and notice everyone after everything is done?" said Helena, and Ophelia could do nothing but quietly nod her head.

Helena, with her heartbeat uncontrollably speeding up, clapped on her bosom and tried to calm herself down. Ophelia worriedly came up and asked, "Are you alright, mom?"

Helena shoved Ophelia’s hand away and shouted, "Don't you ever call me mom again if you are going to divorce Zachariah!"

Ophelia panicked, while still said sincerely to Helena, "Mom, no matter what happen between me and Zachariah, I will always love you and regard you as my mum. Since I married Zachariah, you have always been treating me like your own daughter, ignoring my poor background and giving me love as much as you can. To be honest, I have never imagined that I would meet someone as elegant and kind as you in this family. It is you who makes me willing to stay here for the rest of my life. However, it is always difficult to explain what a couple will face in the future, and maybe the relationship between Zachariah and me and the in-law relationship between you and me will end soon."

Ophelia was by no means an impulsive woman. It was her honesty and respect for her mother-in-law that pushed her to reveal everything to Helena.

If there were anyone Ophelia could not bear to leave after divorcing Zachariah, it would definitely be her mother-in-law Helena.

After taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Helena turned to Ophelia again and asked, " I guess everything started from Zachariah, doesn't it?"

Without denying it, Ophelia only responded slowly, "Mom, just as what I have said, no one could easily tell what will happen to a couple in the future. The reason I tell you all this now is because I don't want you to be caught off-guard by then."

Helena, with her hands trembling uncontrollably due to anger, asked affirmatively, "Is Zachariah going back to Cora again?"

"Mom, the woman stuck in Zachariah's mind has never changed. No matter how hard I tried to get myself closer to him in the past four years, he just cannot stop thinking about that woman. Maybe it's time for me to give up." said Ophelia.

For four years, her husband had neither ever truly loved her, nor wished to have a child with her.

Helena stood up, and said, "I'm not going to allow such a thing to happen. You stay here and take some rest, and I'm going to call him back. Don't worry, dear, I'm always on your side."

Ophelia grabbed Helena's hand in panic and looked at her with pleading eyes, "Please, mom, I can handle this. Zachariah is truly filial enough to obey your words, but I don't want to force him to stay with me."

With tears burning behind her eyes, Helena looked at her beloved daughter-in-law and said, "You know you don't have to be kind to him on this, dear."

"This is how I love him and our family. Don't worry, mom, if there is any chance for me to sustain our marriage, I will try my best to strive for it. And I want you to know that no matter what happens in the end, you will always be my mom."

"OK, I understand, dear. Now, take some rest, and let me know if you want any help from me, Okay?" said Helena.

"Thank you, mom!"

Helena left the room and went downstairs with a sulky face.

The look on her face confused Steffan, "How is it? Is she pregnant or not?"

Seeing Steffan in front of her, Helena feeling nowhere to release her anger and responded bluntly, "Just look at you! If you have ever set a good model for our son, it would never be as complicated as it is now!"

"Hey, calm down, honey! You make me puzzled. What exactly is happening?" asked Steffan in confusion.

"I heard from Ophelia that Zachariah is planning to divorce her."

"But that does not make any sense! They seem to be getting along really well with each other, as always."

"Cora must be the reason for all of this. Cora! That bitch is just not going to give up easily until she reached her goal!" Helena was obviously pissed off about it.

Steffan pulled her to the sofa and comforted her, "Just take it easy, my dear. Let’s just leave it alone. They have already grown up and know how to handle the conflict themselves. If you intervene, Zachariah might listen to your words first, and then turn to Ophelia, pouring out all his anger at her. Are you sure you're going to do that?"

Listening to Steffan’s words, Helena calmed down.

Then Steffan took the chances and continued, "I have already booked the flight tickets for the day after tomorrow. We could just simply go sightseeing and take some photos. It may refresh you and wash up those concerns stuck in your head."

Helena sighed, threw up her hands and said, "You're right. I just leave it to our stupid son. Anyway, no matter how it ends, Ophelia will always be my daughter and I will always be her mother-in-law. She is quite a good girl. If Zachariah really divorces her, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life!"

"See? You know he is just being foolish and short-sighted now. He is still young, and young men always need to experience something to find out what exactly is the most cherished thing in life. After he goes through it, he will realize that only Ophelia is the right one for him. However, by then, it would be a real challenge for him to win her back." said Steffan.

"I'm just wondering why he never learn from the past and give up Cora. She betrayed him once! Maybe he is smart in business and finance, but is as stupid as a god damn donkey when it comes to relationship!"

Steffan laughed out loud, and said, "Then, it is reasonable to say that you are a donkey mama, isn't it?"

Helena was amused by Steffan's sense of humor, and clapped on his shoulder softly, "I'm not joking!"

Steffan took the chance, pulled her into his embrace and said with a tender voice, "My dear, no means to offend you, but don't you feel that you are treating our daughter-in-law too well, even much more than Savannah, our real daughter? To be honest, I'm a little jealous seeing the close relationship between you and Ophelia, not to mention Savannah."

His confess dumbed Helena. She looked at her husband and asked, "What? Of course I'm not. What makes you think like that?"

"Just think it over, my dear. Is there anything wrong with what I say?"

Thinking it over in her mind, what Steffan said did make sense.

"Dear, I just think she is really a good girl, and I don't mean to…" Helena said.

"I understand, honey." Steffan interrupted, "We have been married for decades, and I know you too well, my dear. But what I want to tell you is that since Savannah’s childhood, we have been spoiling her all along, and she is used to being the focus of the family. That also explains why Savannah is getting increasingly sick of Ophelia’s existence. In her mind, Ophelia is just a stranger who has cruelly taken away the attention of her mother. Therefore, I suggest that we'd better leave it behind us for a while and give them some space. They will figure out how to handle their own problems."

Helena hesitated for a while, and said, "Fine, you are right."

On the other hand, Zachariah was not on his way to the company as he had said. Instead, he was on his way to meet someone special.
