Chapter 114 The Custody
"Yes." Ophelia did not hesitate at all.
Zachariah stood up and walked over to her, condescendingly looking at her. He said calmly, "Give me a reason."
Ophelia looked at him wonderingly and asked him, "What's the reason?"
"A reason why I would be so cruel and even don’t care about my children."
Ophelia was about to say something, but her mouth suddenly felt dry. She just wanted to bicker with him and could not give him a reason.
"You don’t know?"
Zachariah raised his hand and touched her earlobe, saying dotingly, "You are so heartless. I've been quite kind to you. You can buy whatever you want regardless of the price and you have the best life. I've given you almost everything except my love, and you still think I'm heartless. You little rascal, you’ve forgotten my concerns for your life."
Ophelia looked at his handsome face that was close at hand and fell into a trance.
Zachariah leaned forward, Ophelia was trying to avoid him but was held tightly in his arms. He whispered to her,
"Little rascal, I’m just joking with you. You want to raise the baby, so I'll give you custody, but I have preconditions."
Ophelia stared at him in a daze.
Zachariah scratched the tip of her nose dotingly and said, "Well, are you silly?"
Ophelia felt more confused and did not know whether it was his real thoughts. He could be very indifferent and the next second treated her as his beloved. When she unknowingly sank into his loving eyes, he would pull her out to the reality as if nothing had happened and trample her self-esteem, which made her heartbroken.
"Zachariah, I can never recognize the real you." Ophelia blurted out in a bit of a trance.
Zachariah's eyes flickered, then he laughed softly, "It's early in the morning and your brain is still oxygen-starved. Look at you, what a silly question!"
Ophelia also laughed and said, "Maybe I’ve slept too much and I’m not quite awake now."
"Go downstairs and have breakfast. I'll take you to work later."
Ophelia nodded.
When she finished breakfast and got into Zachariah's car, Ophelia still had not come back to her senses. She stroked her belly and said, "Mr. Zachariah, you’ll give me the custody of our baby, right?"
"I won't go back on my word on what I promised you, but there are preconditions." Zachariah switched the conversation to the additional conditions.
Ophelia glanced at him and said, "Tell me."
"After we get a divorce, I’ll give you a sum of money, and also I’ll give you the alimony monthly, but I must meet the child twice a month," Zachariah told her his requirement.
"Would Miss Fletcher mind if you meet our baby?"
"Cora is considerate and understanding, I want to see my child and she’ll naturally support me." Zachariah said naturally.
Ophelia laughed bitterly in her heart and thought that even though so much evidence showed that Cora was not as innocent as she appeared, Zachariah still thought that the girl was innocent like a white lotus flower.
They were definitely true love. After hanging out with a man in a nightclub and being taken photos, Cora just casually explained it and Zachariah even believed her. Even though her explanation was full of holes, Zachariah still thought that Cora was a fairy with great pride and dignity.
Ophelia simply closed her eyes and kept silent.
"Are you tired?"
Ophelia shook her head.
"What do you think of that?"
"After divorce, I have custody, a large sum of money, and additional monthly child support. You know, I love money, so of course, I agree." Ophelia shrugged her shoulders and said.
Zachariah smiled and looked quite delighted.
When they arrived at Popkin Group, Zachariah skillfully parked the car at the curb. Ophelia unbuckled her seat belt and said, "Mr. Zachariah, drive safely." Then she opened the car door to get off.
Zachariah said, "I’m your carriage driver now. You should repay me for bringing you here before getting off, shouldn’t you?”
Ophelia turned around as Zachariah took a finger and pointed at his cheek. She laughed dotingly and kissed his cheek. When she was about to leave, Zachariah grab the back of her head and gave her a French kiss.
By the time they separated, Ophelia's cheeks were scarlet and loving expressions shone in her eyes. She looked even more tempting. Sexual excitement flashed in Zachariah’s eyes and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
Ophelia gave him a pettish scold, straightened her messy hair, opened the car door, and got off directly.
She took the elevator and went into the office, everyone looked at her with ambiguous eyes, making her a little embarrassed. Colleagues of the design department also looked at her with the same expression, and even smiled jokingly. The bizarre atmosphere made her confused.
A female colleague, who was closer to her, came over and first looked at her neck. She giggled playfully, "Ophelia, your husband must be very enthusiastic. You must have wild sex last night."Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
