Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 88

Tassach was afraid that she would misunderstand and explained quickly, “This is the daughter of a highly respectable family. Her name is Gracie King.”

Ophelia stretched out her hand and said, “Miss King, hello. My name is Ophelia Lowe. You can call me Ophelia.”

Gracie looked at Ophelia from head to toe, and anger flashed in her eyes. She ignored Ophelia’s outstretched hand and said, “Tassach, you almost got us into a car accident just now for her sake?”

Ophelia looked at him in surprise and asked, “Tassach, what happened?”

Tassach gave Gracie a look of warning and said, “Miss King, I’m very sorry for what happened today. Although you are the daughter of a highly respectable family, it’s our first time meeting each other, and I hope you can show respect to my friend.”

Gracie compromised. “Okay, it’s my fault. I’m just angry that you parked the car carelessly for a woman. Don’t you know it was very dangerous just now? If you aren’t careful, then both of us will be dead.”

Tassach said, “I’m sorry, it looks like you’re frightened. Let me hail a taxi to take you back.”

There was a trace of anger on Gracie’s face. She held back her anger and said, “Tassach, I’m a guest that your family invited. Don’t you think you’re crossing the line with the way you’re treating me?”

Tassach wanted to hail a taxi. Ophelia stopped him and said, “Tassach, Miss King is already upset. It wouldn’t be gentlemanly at all if you hailed a taxi. Hurry up and comfort her. If it were me, I’d also be angry at you. You were too unmanly just now. I don’t like that.”

Tassach held back his anger and said, “Miss King, I’m sorry.”

Gracie looked at Tassach with a forced smile and said, “Tassach, did you apologize to me because of this woman?”

Tassach frowned and was obviously about to get angry. The daughter of a highly respectable family sure is difficult to please. How strong-willed she is!

“Miss King, we aren’t close. We’ve only met once. If you keep doing this, I’ll hail a taxi to take you back.” Tassach said seriously with a hint of warning.

Gracie curled up the corner of her lip and said, “Sorry, I was being wilful just now.”

Ophelia shrugged and said, “Tassach, you better send Miss King back. I’ve already asked someone to pick me up.”

Tassach stood beside her stubbornly and said, “I’ll take you back. You’re wet and in a fix. You should go back quickly to take a hot shower and drink a bowl of ginger soup. Don’t catch a cold. You know that you not only have yourself to take care of now.” Tassach whispered the latter part.

Ophelia smiled in a relaxed manner and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. You can send Miss King back first. Zachariah will be here in a bit.”

Tassach said, “I’m worried about you being here by yourself as a woman. I’ll stay here with you. When Zachariah comes, I’ll send her back.”

Tassach would become very stubborn when it came to Ophelia.

“Miss King, I’m very sorry about today. I can’t show you around anymore. How about I hail a taxi to take you back?”

Gracie did not become angry, which was out of character for her. Instead, she smiled, “I’ll stay here with you. Miss Lowe looks so beautiful and sexy. I heard that there are also a lot of thieves in the country. It’s not a big problem if your money were to be stolen, but we wouldn’t want you to be assaulted.”

As she spoke, she gazed at Ophelia’s belly subconsciously and smiled. “Judging by your belly, it looks like Miss Lowe is pregnant?”

Ophelia’s expression changed a bit and then smiled. “It’s just that I ate a bit too much recently and gained some weight.”

Gracie smiled and said, “My apologies. It’s just that it looks like you’re pregnant by the size of your belly. Kind of different from your appearance.”

Ophelia replied, “I already tried my best to wear baggy clothing. I didn’t expect Miss King to still see through it. You have sharp eyes.”

Gracie smiled.

Ophelia said, “Tassach, Miss King is your friend. You should send her home first. I’ll go for a walk myself.”

Tassach wanted to grab her hand but paused in mid-air. He said, “Ophelia, I’ll send you back first. You’re wet. Don’t be stubborn.”

Ophelia watched as Gracie’s expression started turning into anger. In the end, she finally nodded and said, “Let’s go.”

Tassach could not help it as the smile on his face widened. His mood immediately became very good.

Tassach drove to the community where Ophelia lived. Ophelia opened the car door and said, “Tassach, thank you for giving me a ride back today.”

Tassach also unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car, and said, “Ophelia, wait a minute.”

Ophelia stopped and turned to look at Tassach as he walked towards her. She asked, “Tassach, what’s the matter?”

Tassach took off his suit and said, “Put this on. Be careful not to catch a cold. Give me a call if anything happens in the future.”

Ophelia wanted to take off the suit, but Tassach grabbed her hand and said, “Ophelia, put it on.”

“Mr. Conduibh should save your suit for the lady behind you. I don’t need you to be attentive to my wife.” Zachariah’s voice closed in. Ophelia’s eyes followed the sound and saw Zachariah leaning in front of the car as he spoke.

Ophelia’s eyes moved. She took off the suit on her body, handed it to Tassach, and said, “Tassach, it’s getting late. You should send Miss King back.”

Tassach nodded and walked to his car.

“Mr. Conduibh, wait a minute. I have something to tell you.” Zachariah stopped Tassach.
