Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 209

Bradwen took Gwylan into his arms and helped her ease down. "Gwylan, settle down a little."

Gwylan tried to free herself from his arms. "How can you ask me to settle down after what happened to Cora? If you don’t want to fall out with them for your friendship with them, let me play the villain."

Helena took a deep breath. "We’re in hospital now, and we’ll embarrass ourselves if we make a scene here. You haven’t had lunch yet, have you? How about we get a box, sit down, eat some food and have a talk there?"

Gwylan nodded after some consideration.

The four of them went to the restaurant closest to the hospital, got a private room and ordered some dishes. After that, silence hung heavily in the room.

Arms crossed, Gwylan said, "Helena, I know I went too far in the hospital, but I was worried about Cora. If the same thing happened to your daughter, I’m afraid you’d be more anxious than I was."

Suppressing her anger, Helena almost blurted out, "Even if my daughter was being unruly and reckless, she wouldn’t disgrace herself by being the other woman. She wouldn’t get pregnant and show it off in front of the wife. If Savannah did something so shameless, I would definitely drive her away from our family."

Helena faked a smile and replied, "I feel sorry for what happened to Cora, but Savannah is different. I don’t think she will get pregnant before marriage, so you don’t have to worry about her."

Gwylan’s face darkened. "Helena, what do you mean by that?"

Helena said, "I’m just saying. It’s you who keep mentioning Savannah, so I just play along. Savannah is a refined girl. It’s true that she’s headstrong, but she won’t destroy others’ family. If she became the other woman, I would break her leg and keep her at home. It’s not that the Chambers family couldn’t afford to support a woman."

Both Gwylan and Bradwen turned livid.

Bradwen stared at Helena in disbelief. "Helena, you…"

Helena simply smiled, saying nothing.

Gwylan snapped, "Helena, you’ve gone too far. Even if my daughter is the other woman, much of the blame rightly attaches to your son. If he was able to keep it in his pants, my daughter could do nothing about it, even if she’s the most beautiful woman in the world! Besides, you can’t tell who started all this in this love. When you accuse my daughter of being the other woman, don’t you get your son involved too?"

Helena argued, "Zachariah just made a mistake that every man in this world will make. As long as he makes amends and returns to his family, it’ll be fine. In my opinion, Zachariah is doing great in terms of this."

Gwylan’s face was distorted with fury.

Brad also couldn’t believe what he just heard. "Helena, I didn’t expect you to be so mean."

Regret flashed across Helena’s eyes, but she wouldn’t back down in order to save Zachariah and Ophelia’s family.

"I’ll accept Cora as my goddaughter, but she’s not the right girl to marry Zachariah. Therefore, no matter she loses the baby or not, I won’t have her marrying into the Chambers family anyway. Please be understanding. Once is quite enough for our family to be humiliated. I don’t want our family to be laughed at by the high society for the same woman again."

Gwylan said, "Helena, we’re sorry for what Cora did back then, but you can’t just reject her. She has become better after she came back this time, and was willing to give birth to Zachariah’s baby. To err is human, to forgive divine. Why wouldn’t you give her another chance?"

Helena found what Gwylan said ridiculous.

"Zachariah is already married, and the baby will be born soon. We’ll try our best to make up for Cora’s loss, but I will never have Zachariah marrying her."

Gwylan rose to her feet in anger and snapped, "Helena, what do you take Cora for? A beggar? Do you want to buy her off? We Fletcher family is also rich and powerful. If you push us too far, we won’t necessarily lose to you."

"I didn’t mean that way. If you must take me wrong, I have nothing to say, but again, I won’t have Cora marrying into the Chambers family." In terms of Zachariah’s marriage, Helena stuck to her guns and wouldn’t compromise.

Bradwen pulled at Gwylan, who was on the edge of flaring up, and said in a calm tone, "Helena, we’ve been friends for years. I thought you would like Cora to marry Zachariah. Is there any misunderstanding between us?"

"I’m sorry." This was all Helena could say.

Gwylan was about to lose her temper; meanwhile, Bradwen grabbed her by the arm, trying to prevent her from shouting abuse.

Zachariah faked a cough and chimed in, "Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, please believe me. I’ll handle this situation properly and give you a satisfactory reply."

Bradwen and Gwylan exchanged a glance.

Zachariah went on, "I never said that I wouldn’t be responsible for Cora. Just as what I said, I already asked an Italian designer to customize a wedding dress for her, and it will be finished in a month. I didn’t expect she would have a miscarriage, but since I love her, I don’t care if she’s able to give birth."

Amazement gleamed in Gwylan’s eyes.

"Such being the case, why didn’t you say that?"
