Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 427 Moving Out (Part one)

She was a mother, and she would be glad to see Zach and Ophelia could be happy and loving for the rest of their lives. Her mistake was now putting a wedge between the two, which made her feel terrible.

"Please don't be like this, son. Ophelia is a nice woman, and I'm sure she would understand the efforts you made. Go to bed now. We'll get things clear tomorrow. You're making me worried."

Finally, Zach went back to his bedroom.

Helena sighed and went back, too. Steffan wasn't asleep. He leaned on the bed and asked, "What has taken you so long?"

Helena walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and lay down. Then she pressed close to Steffan and said in disappointment, "Honey, I think Zach is really obsessed with Ophelia. I'm glad she and Ophelia get along well... it's just... I don't think they'll see each other eye to eye from now on."

Steffan said, "Don't worry, Ophelia is a very considerate person. Give her some time, and she'll come around."

That was the only thing they could do now.

Helena didn't fall asleep until 5 o'clock in the morning, neither did Madeleine and Ophelia. They stared at the dark ceiling of the room, eyes widely open. They heard some of the conversations between Helena and Zach. Ophelia wanted to go out and be in Zach's arms, asking him why he would let go of the murderer who intended to hurt her and Tommy.

She had the impulsion, but she suppressed it rationally.

It was almost dawn when Ophelia fell asleep, and she woke at eight. She looked aside and found Madeleine was missing.

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, only to see Madeleine coming out of the bathroom.

"You're awake?"

Ophelia patted her own head which felt sore from the insomnia last night. Her immune system had been weakened during the car accident. After she gave birth to Tommy, she couldn't go home and had full rest. The hospital was well equipped, but she still felt something was missing.

Madeleine walked over and rubbed Ophelia's hair.

"Have you been thinking about it last night? You don't look very well." Madeleine said.

Ophelia said drowsily, "I couldn't sleep. Rub harder. My head ached terribly."

Madeleine said angrily and lovingly, "Honey, I don't mean to criticize you... You haven't fully recovered yet! You've broken several bones during the car accident, and you should feel lucky you didn't die from it. Stop torturing yourself for a person you have nothing to do with! Is it really worth it?"

Ophelia let out a wry smile. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Madeleine didn't want to blame her too much; she stopped and kept rubbing her head.

Soon they heard someone knocking at the door. The maid said outside the door, "Young Mister, Miss Lowe, are you awake? Mrs. Chambers called you upstairs to have breakfast."

Madeleine said in a high voice, "OK. Just wait a minute."

The maid then left.

Madeleine put her hand down and asked, "Feeling better now?"

Ophelia nodded. "Thank you. Madeleine."

Madeleine shrugged and said, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. We have a fight later on."

Ophelia went into the bathroom and got washed up briefly. When she went out, she took out a simple and graceful white dress from the closet.

Madeleine gave her a thumbs up after she put it on. "Honey, you fit in everything because you're a beauty! I really think you look good in white. That makes you look charming and innocent; your temperament is exceptional! Innocence and coquettish, you can have the two antonyms at the same time."

Ophelia forced a smile.

Madeleine made a face at her and tried to make her laugh. "Smile, honey. Don't be so stern. Let the Chambers know that we were born low but raised higher than most of those rich kids."

Ophelia didn't say anything.

As soon as Madeleine went downstairs with Ophelia, she saw Savannah eating breakfast at the table. Under their previous consent, the two didn't even change their facial expression.

Madeleine spoke for Ophelia. She pointed to the maid and said, "Please pack some clothing and diapers for Madeleine and Tommy. Collect whatever Tommy could use."

The maid looked at Helena hesitantly and didn't move.

Helena put down the spoon and said softly, "Madeleine, why are you letting her pack their clothing?"

Madeleine smiled decently, "Please don't get me wrong. I just want Ophelia to stay with me for a few days. There have been some issues yesterday. Someone seemed to dislike Ophelia. I'm afraid she will lose sanity and choke Tommy if they stay here. So they need to take a leave for a few days. That will be better for everyone. Is that right?"

Helena seemed quite embarrassed.

Having been referred to as "she" by Madeleine, Savannah pounded on the table and yelled, "What are you implying? Madeleine?"

Madeleine shrugged and said, "I don't talk to monsters, in case of being jinxed."

Savannah's pretty face was distorted with anger.

Helena glanced at Savannah and said firmly, "Savannah, just finish your breakfast and leave. I'll let the driver drop you off at your workplace. Don't come back. I'll notify the guard to keep you away."

Savannah was angrier. She pointed at Ophelia and asked, "Mom, are you seriously going to kick me out of the family because of this woman?"

Helena pulled a long face and said to the driver waiting in the hall, "Please take her out."

Sam stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Miss, please."

Savannah shouted with anger, "Back off! Who do you think you are?"

Sam stood there still.

"Miss, please."

Savannah glared at the driver fiercely.

"Savannah, stop making a scene! Leave with Sam now, or I'll let the bodyguards escort you into the car," Helena said harshly, which was rare.

Savannah glanced at Helena and growled, "Fine, I'll go!"

Before leaving, Savannah glared at Ophelia and said, "Don't get carried away. I'll see you get out of the company one day. You can never be the mistress of this house."

After that, she left home in a fluster.
