Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 101

Savannah stood up from the couch and said with a smile on her face, “Mom, dad, Zachariah, you're finally back. Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher and Cora have been waiting here for a while. If we wait any longer, I'll have to take them to the hospital to find you guys.”

Mrs. Chambers glared at Savannah unobtrusively before she turned her gaze to the Fletcher family and said, “Bradwen, what brings you guys here? Why didn’t you call me in advance, so that I can ask the cook to prepare delicious food for you?”

The Fletcher couple stood up, and when Mrs. Fletcher looked at Ophelia who was gently held by Mr. and Mrs. Chambers, her eyes flashed through a glint of displeasure, and her words were not very friendly, “Helena, look how precious your daughter-in-law is! She has been discharged from the hospital and still needs you to support her? Afraid that she will fall?”

Mrs. Chambers got a little unpleasant. She had always thought that the Fletcher’s was sensible and reasonable, which was why she still continued to be friends with them even after Cora broke off the engagement. She never thought Mrs. Fletcher, who she used to think was rational, would say something so bad like that, and now she got a little angry.

In her opinion, no other girl was better than her daughter-in-law, and it's not the turn of an outsider to comment, even if that's not exactly the truth.

“Gwylan, this is unkind for you to say that. Ophelia is the only daughter-in-law of the Chamber’s family, and now she is pregnant with our precious grandson, should I not care and protect her? Even if she wants the stars in the sky now, I am willing to give them.”

Mrs. Fletcher’s face became gloomy, “Pregnant? You didn't say she was pregnant when I went to see her at the hospital before, so how come she's pregnant all of a sudden?”

Holding back her anger, Mrs. Chambers said, “What’s wrong with you today, Gwylan? I can't be bothered to tell everyone the good news at that time. Ophelia's five months pregnant, and I'll be a grandmother next year.”

“Ophelia's pregnant, what about my Cora? The child she is carrying is also Zachariah’s child, I came here today to discuss the marriage with you.”

At these words, a touch of pain flashed in Ophelia's eyes, while Zachariah’s eyes flashed a touch of disbelief. He subconsciously turned to look at her, saw the hidden pain in her eyes, his heart could not help but seize up. He was getting intolerant of seeing her sad.

It's just that Cora got pregnant as well and it really wasn’t on his mind. He claimed to love Cora but never thought about having a child with her.

Mrs. Chambers' face was directly sunken, “Gwylan, we have known each other for many years, and you can’t smear my family’s reputation. If they were still an unmarried couple, I would be happy to hear this news, but now that Zachariah has a wife, and his wife is also pregnant with a child. Although many men in high society circles are married and still keeping other women outside, the Chambers family got strict family traditions, and we can never do such shameless things. If Cora is pregnant, then I'll say congratulations to you, but don't blame it on the head of my son, we can’t accept such a girl as our daughter-in-law.”

Mrs. Fletcher ruffled her well-maintained hair, “Helena, as you said, we have known each other for many years, I will never blackmail you with this kind of thing no matter what. Cora is indeed pregnant, the seeds are indeed Zachariah’s, you can ask him if you do not believe it, Zachariah will admit it if he’s a real man.”

Mrs. Chambers turned her head to look at Zachariah, who surprisingly nodded his head and said, “Mom, I did sleep with her and I do intend to marry her.”

Mrs. Chambers was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Zachariah on his face.

Everyone was startled by the crisp sound, they did not expect Mrs. Chambers to slap her own son! Zachariah was like a myth in the business world, many people looked up to him and obeyed him as if he were God. Such a person got slapped by his own mother in public!

Savannah exclaimed after being surprised, “Mom, what are you doing?”

Mrs. Chambers looked at Zachariah with disappointment, “You run the company so well, I thought you were a wise and responsible man, but I didn't expect you to be so confused when it comes to relationships. You leave such a perfect wife behind and prefer a woman who has hurt you and is entangled with many other men. All the years I've taught you to do this?”

Zachariah pursed his lips, silently allowing Mrs. Chambers to vent the anger in her heart.

But Mrs. Chambers became angrier because of his silence, covering her chest and panting. Ophelia was afraid that Mrs. Chambers was gonna faint or something, and was busy coming forward to hold her, “Take it easy, mom. There must be some kind of misunderstanding, don’t worry, just talk it through.”

Mrs. Chambers then calmed down a little bit.

Mr. Chambers picked up Mrs. Chambers and said tenderly, “You are getting old and still got this short fuse. I am still the head of this family, as long as you do not like her, I will not let her into the door. Relax, huh?”

Mrs. Chambers' face looked a little better this time.

She nodded and said, “You promise, you can't let me down. Ophelia is my one and only daughter-in-law. If you let her suffer, I'll just leave with her.”

Mr. Chambers reassured, “Don't worry, I won't let this happen.”

Savannah stomped her feet in anxiety, “Mom, what are you talking about? What's wrong with Cora? Why do you have to defend a woman who has nothing?”
