Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 208

Sulking, Helena growled at the Fletcher couple, while Zachariah, who had been quiet all the time, stepped forward and stood in from of her. "Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, I’ll definitely give Cora what she deserves, but not now. I have to at least wait until she recovers and Ophelia gives birth to the baby. Even if I were a beast, I wouldn’t leave my pregnant wife and marry someone else, and I don’t think you want your daughter to marry a beast either."

Gwylan stared at Zachariah and said, "Zachariah, I watched you grow up. You wouldn’t beat around the bush like this before. So tell me the truth. You don’t want to marry Cora anymore after you get tired of playing around with her, right?"

Zachariah shook his head and replied solemnly, "There has only been one woman I want to marry, and that woman is Cora. However, once you miss something, you miss it forever. Even though she comes back five years later, I still want to marry her, but many things are not for me to decide now, so I can’t marry Cora at present."

Seething with anger, Gwylan retorted in rage, "Well, well, Zachariah Chambers. My daughter lost her ability to have babies for the sake of you, but now you’re telling me you can’t marry her. How dare you say so? Is it because you’re sure the Fletcher family gets nothing on you?"

Zachariah replied calmly, "Mrs. Fletcher, there’s no point in you grappling with this issue now. When I marry the woman I want to marry, I’ll give her a grand wedding, but as for the woman I don’t want to marry for the time being, no one can change my mind, even if he holds a gun against my head."

Gwylan’s anger was at capacity. "Zachariah, so you mean you don’t want to be responsible for Cora, right?"

Zachariah answered her with composure, "Mrs. Fletcher, let me be honest with you. I already asked an Italian designer to design Cora’s wedding gown, but you and Cora are driving me crazy by forcing me into marrying her again and again. I can marry her, but I will never be forced. In that case, I’d rather cancel the wedding."

Gwylan cooled down a little. She knew that Zachariah was telling the truth and able to do that. Although he was young, Zachariah was the most distinguished one among his peers. He could even see through many experienced and cunning businessmen. Therefore, the Fletcher family wasn’t optimistic about fighting against such a man like him.

So Gwylan took a deep breath and softened her tone. "Zachariah, I said those things in a fit of anger. Any mother will get agitated when she sees her daughter has a miscarriage and loses the ability to have babies. Please forgive me for what I said."

Zachariah stared at Gwylan and said, "Mrs. Fletcher, I never mean that way. It’ just that I need time to think over the relationship between Cora and I."

Gwylan straightened her face at once. "What do you mean by that, Zachariah?"

"It means what it literally means." The calmer Zachariah looked, the more terrifying he was. "Five years passed, and Cora is no longer that little girl I fell in love with at that time. I wonder if she still is the right girl me now."

Gwylan gave a cold smile and taunted, "Zachariah, now that you’ve had your fun, you want to run away, huh? Don’t you think it’s too good to be true? Cora won’t be able to get pregnant for the rest of her life for the sake of you, so you have to marry her, and there’s no other option. Otherwise, I’d get you for this."

At this moment, Helena chimed in, "It’s been over ten years since we knew each other, and we haven’t gone that far yet. As the old saying goes, you can take a horse to the water but you cannot make it drink, and so it is the same with emotions. I’m sorry that Cora lost the baby, but you can’t make Zachariah responsible for it. He has a wife and a baby, and you can’t make him leave them and fail them!"

"Helena, it’s easy for you to say so. If some man played with your daughter’s affections and then ditched her, would you have said what you just said? And Bradwen told me you were a sensible woman. I never expected you to be so evil!"

Bradwen became anxious and said, "Gwylan, stop talking nonsense! Must you end the friendship between the Chambers family and us that has lasted for over ten years?"

Gwylan threw a ferocious stare at Bradwen and retorted, "Your daughter is labeled by her as the woman throwing herself at her son, yet you’re still defending her. Are you still in love with that woman?"

Bradwen had that resigned look on his face.

Now, Helena turned angry. It had been years since she had known Gwylan through Bradwen, and Helena had thought that Gwylan was sensible. It didn’t occur to her that Gwylan was actually such an unreasonable woman. Cats hide their claws, and it took Helena so many years to see the authentic side of Gwylan.

Helena had to admit that Gwylan had hidden her claws very well.

Zachriah chipped in, "Mrs. Fletcher, you’re not in the right mood to have a talk with now. Let’s talk about it when you calm down later."

Gwylan shook her hand and said, "Zachariah Chambers, stop playing games with me. I’ll make a scene in the Chambers Group if you don’t marry Cora. I’ll have each of your admirers see what kind of person President Chambers is."
