Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 49

Zachariah frowned and was obviously angry.

Then Cora immediately added in a softer tone, "I don't mean to get you angry, Zach! I'm just caring about you too much: indeed, I shouldn't have gone abroad selfishly years ago, but why couldn't you just wait for my return? Hearing that you were married, I felt badly hurt inside, and couldn't stop asking myself whether you gonna leave me forever. That's why I'm being hysterical for the moment."

Upon hearing her confession, Zachariah embraced her tenderly into his arms and comforted her in a warm tone, "Just stop thinking around and get yourself prepared for the piano concert. I will divorce Ophelia once you finish all your duties in Europe and come back home."

"Promise me, Zach. Don't let me down." said Cora.

"You have my words, my love. And I shall never let you down." answered Zachariah.

A joyful and happy smile then finally spread on Cora's face. However, a sudden phone ring broke into their romantic atmosphere.

Someone was calling Cora. As she saw the number shown on the screen, her face turned stiff and somber.

Zachariah noticed the change in Cora's face and asked, "Who's that?"

As a sense of panic flashed through her eyes, Cora clenched her phone even more tightly. Zachariah stepped forwards aggressively and continued, "What is wrong?"

"Nothing! It's the head of our group. He's probably calling me back to rehearsal for the concert. It brings me stress since I'm not ready to leave you now." Cora made an excuse for her panic.

The words seemed to soften the stressing nerve of Zachariah. He then said in a slow and gentle tone, "Then, just hang up your phone, dear."

As the voice of him faded, Cora stood up and apologized, "Sorry, Zach. Excuse me for a second. I think I'd better answer the phone in case he is calling me for any emergency."

Zachariah gave a silent nod. She then marched into the bathroom to answer the phone and returned after five minutes, looking at Zachariah and hesitating to say a word.

"Is everything OK? You're not looking so good." asked Zachariah.

"The head is calling me back. He needs to confirm a few things of the concert with me face to face. Zach, I don't want to leave you so soon…"

Zachariah then stood up and said to Cora sincerely, "You have to take it seriously since it is your job. Come on, I will give you a ride."

Cora smiled and nodded.

Going downstairs together with Cora, Zachariah suddenly received a phone call from his mother: she was asking him to go back home. As he hung off the phone, Cora asked curiously, "What happened, Zach?"

"My mom asked me to go home. Can you drive by yourself?"

"I'm fine. Just go home quickly, as Aunty Helena is urging you." answered Cora.

Zachariah nodded, left a loving kiss on Cora's cheek and said, "I'm leaving now. Be careful on the road, and don't forget to call me up when you arrive." Cora nodded as a response to his kind remind.

Seeing that Zachariah was left, Cora was finally able to take a sigh of relief. She took out her phone, dialed the one who had just called her and shouted, "What the hell are you doing here June?"

"I'm missing you, baby! Have you forgotten the promise we made to stay in Europe and fight for our future? Why did you head back so abruptly for a concert? Well, if it's part of your career plan, I would not blame you. Now, baby, I miss you so much that I need you to meet me at Holiday Inns right now, or I would call up Zachariah and tell him everything between us." answered June.

"How dare you, June!"

"I'm not joking. You have one hour, come and meet me; or, I would really like to see how he would react upon watching those videos."

With her delicate face twisted out of anger, Cora said, "So, you are threatening me now, aren't you?"

"I'm not threatening you, baby; I'm just missing you so much. I couldn't even bear to blame you when I found out that you had returned to your home country without notifying me! Don't you feel touched knowing that I come all the way to see you?"

Listening to June’s words, Cora clenched the phone in hand and gritted her teeth.

"Now, you've only got fifty minutes left. If I fail to see you in time, I will send all these videos to Zachariah." said June.

"Fine! I'm coming. Just wait." Cora then hung up the phone and drove to the place.

In Holiday Inns, Cora went up to the 50th floor. The moment she knocked on the door, she was immediately dragged into the room and pressed on the wall by a tall man. It was the moment when the man was about to kiss her by force that she struggled out of his embrace and slapped him on the face.

Cora warned him, "You'd better show me some respect, June! You are stepping on the land of my family, and I have numerous ways to trap you here if you dare to provoke me!"

The way she spoke to June was totally different from when she talked to Zachariah.

The handsome man June was a foreigner with blonde hair and defined face, and from the outline of his figure, it was obvious that he had been working out regularly to keep fit.

"Jesus! You're getting prettier than a few days ago! I miss you and love you so much, my angel!" June was still as frivolous as he did in the previous phone call, and seemed to care nothing about Cora's threat.

Cora said coldly, "We've broken up already, June. Now, I have nothing to do with you, and you'd better go back to your country right now!"

"That's your unilateral proposal, darling, and I would never accept it. Just think about the four years we spent together, and the money and assistance I offered you! If you want to break up with me, you'd better compensate me for everything I have done for you." said June.
