Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 494 Encountering Claudia

Ophelia turned around with her mobile phone but saw Zachariah walking towards her from two meters away. She was really taken aback. Maybe she was feeling guilty. She didn’t dare to look into his eyes.

Zachariah strode up to her, stroked her cheek with a big palm, and said, “When did you wake up?”

“I couldn’t sleep, so I got up to enjoy some sea breeze. It felt like I haven’t seen the sea for a long time. It feels good to be surrounded by the sea on a yacht.” Ophelia leaned in Zachariah’s arms, spread out her hands, and enjoyed the coolness of the breeze.

Zachariah placed his arms around her waist and said, “If you like it, we can come more often. I can take a 20-day vacation next month. Let’s go to Hawaii for a vacation to make up for our honeymoon five years ago.”

Ophelia stared at Zachariah with wide eyes and surprise, “Really?” When she thought of the frequency of her eyes turning blind more and more frequently, she was afraid that when she goes to Hawaii, she really wouldn’t be able to hide it.

“Why? Don'’ you like Hawaii?” Zachariah said. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Ophelia shook her head.

“I like it, but I can’t bear to leave Tommy for so long. Let’s go there when Tommy gets older? In fact, as long as you are with us, it is good even if we were to stay at home.” Ophelia was being coquettish and cute.

Zachariah enjoyed it. He stroked Ophelia’s cheek and said, “I specially set aside 20 days for you. You can go wherever you want.”

Ophelia nodded sweetly, but her heart was barren. She didn’t know how long she and Zachariah could still be together.

The two stood on the yacht for a long time, and Zachariah said, “Should we go back now?”

Ophelia nodded.

After getting off the yacht, Zachariah drove Ophelia back.

When they entered the hall, they saw Claudia drinking tea with Helena. When Zachariah and Ophelia came in, Claudia immediately stood up. Shyness flashed in her eyes, but she soon returned to her previous dignified and generous state. She didn’t display her admiration for Zachariah at all.

“Zachariah, Ophelia, you’re back,” Claudia said decently.

Perhaps out of a woman’s intuition about her rivals, Ophelia was not so enthusiastic about Claudia.

“Why is Claudia here?” Ophelia asked.

“I came with my eldest brother. My eldest brother and Savannah went out for a walk. I drank tea with Helena and learned how to make tea from her.” Claudia said with a smile.

“Mom’s tea is very nice to drink. You’ve found the right person to learn from.” Ophelia said.

“Yes, she is beautiful and has an outstanding temperament. Her tea ceremony and calligraphy are also extremely first-class. It is no wonder that she has such a good relationship with Steffan. If I were a man, I would also fall in love with a woman like her.” Claudia’s words were singing praises of Helena.

One has to say that her method of complimenting people is top-notch, at least she makes Helena happy, and her liking towards her is also rising.

“Ophelia, Claudia had just returned to China, she is not particularly familiar with many places and things in the country. Do bring her out more. You are all young people. You all also talk about fashion, go shopping and buy clothes.” Helena said.

Claudia smiled and said, “If Ophelia doesn't mind, let’s make an appointment to go shopping and have a meal at the same time. It has been a few months since I returned to China. I haven’t eaten outside with Ophelia. Of course, if Zachariah doesn’t mind, he can come together too. It’s livelier with more people.”

Zachariah placed his arms around Ophelia’s waist and said, “Ophelia’s health is not very good. You should find someone else for shopping. I am also busy at work and can’t spare time to eat with you.”

Claudia’s face went through a wave of expressions.

The smile on Helena’s face also faded, and she said reproachfully, “Zachariah, what are you talking about? Claudia is our guest. Don’t you think your words are a little overboard?”

Zachariah said almost indifferently, “Mom, I’m sorry, apart from Ophelia, I treat all other women like that.”

Claudia’s smile became very reluctant, “Helena, I’m fine. Zachariah and Ophelia are really affectionate, and I envy them.”

Before her love had sprouted, it was broken mercilessly by Zachariah.

However, she also has perseverance. In her opinion, there are no inseparable couples, no uncompromisable marriages, only a mistress who doesn’t work hard. She was high-spirited, and very few men can catch her eye. Zachariah was the only man who made her fell in love at first sight. Although he is married, she firmly believed that there is no man who doesn’t cheat. As long as she works hard enough, she can climb the walls, succeed in the upper echelons, and become the hostess of the Chambers family.

Zachariah didn’t care about Claudia’s intention but just said to Helena, “Mom, Ophelia is a little tired, I’ll bring her up to rest.”

Helena nodded.

Claudia intentionally mentioned, “I haven’t seen Tommy yet. Ophelia, do you mind if I go up with you to see Tommy?”

Zachariah glanced at her, and displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Ophelia held his hand, smiled, and said, “I don’t mind, let’s go up.”

“Thank you, Ophelia.”

Claudia accompanied Ophelia and Zachariah upstairs. Along the way, she chatted with Ophelia, but she observed Zachariah without showing a trace, and the admiration in her eyes almost overflowed.

When they got up, Zachariah said, “Go and see Tommy by yourself.”

Claudia’s face froze.

Ophelia patted his hand and said, “Zachariah, head back to the bedroom first, I will take Claudia to see Tommy.”

Zachariah stared solemnly, posing as if strangers were not allowed to enter.

Ophelia didn’t know whether laugh or cry, so she softly said, “Be good, go and change your clothes first, otherwise Tommy won’t hug you again”

Zachariah then left.

Ophelia just smiled apologetically at Claudia, and then led her into the baby room.

Unexpectedly, neither Tommy nor Ted was inside, Ophelia frowned and shouted, “Ted, Ted.”

After calling a few times, Ted appeared like a ghost, and he held Tommy in his arms.

Ophelia had become accustomed to his sudden appearance, but Claudia looked surprised.

Ophelia took Tommy from Ted’s arms and said to Claudia, “Claudia, this is Tommy.”

Claudia leaned forward and looked at Tommy pretending to like him very much. The words of praise were overflowing, “Tommy is so delicate, his facial features have inherited almost all the beauty of you and Zachariah.”

Ophelia smiled.
