Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 43 Contradiction

“It doesn't matter. Zachariah is a perfect man and is reasonable for other women to think about him. I would be too mean if I am jealous of each one of them.”

Helena added, “You are such a good girl with merits. You are open-minded and considerate, always by your husband’s side when he’s busy at work. You never play tricks of crying or making troubles. That’s why I like you so much.”

Helena's words seemed to have deeper meaning.

Ophelia's expression changed upon hearing this.

Ophelia knew Helena wouldn’t like a woman who betrayed her son.

Helena patted Ophelia’s hand and said, “Go and check what Zachariah is doing? He’s been upstairs for a long time.”

Ophelia stood up and said, “Uncle, auntie, sorry, I have to go up and look after Zachariah.”

After Ophelia went up, Helena took a sip of tea elegantly and said: “They still love each other so much even though they have married for four years. They simply wish to stick around every day. Well, never mind.”

Both Bradwen and Gwylan showed a terrible expression on their faces.

Helena pretended to see nothing and smiled, “Cora, it’s time for you to consider your marriage. Have you gotten any boyfriend in Europe?”

Cora smiled and replied, “Auntie, I am busy with work. Recently, I have to go on tour in many places and don’t have any chance to stay in one place for long. I guess I will go back home after two months and settle here.”

“It’s good to stay in foreign countries, you know, well-paid and abundant with handsome men. Why do you suddenly decide to go back?” Helena replied, hinting that she shouldn’t go back to interrupt her son’s life.

Cora’s expression remained unchanged and replied with a smile, “No matter how good a foreign country is, there is no one I am concerned and I feel so lonely, so I decide to go back.”

Helena poured a cup of tea for Steffan and said, “Bradwen and Gwylan seldom come to visit us. Why do you remain silent all the time?”

Steffan finally raised his head. He looked similar to Zachariah, except that his eyes tended to kinder, wearing a pair of glasses. He seemed more like a scholar rather than a businessman.

“Bradwen, I received a chess board a few days ago. How about playing with me after lunch?” asked Steffan. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Bradwen smiled and said: “I want to play chess so badly. Okay, let’s see who’s better this time. I remember you always win me in the past.”

Steffan nodded and replied, “Good, let’s start after lunch.”

Smiling, Helena said, “You’re getting old. Others have already retired at your age and are enjoying their life, while you just like to go to the company and play chess. Well, I will be happy if you can change your hobby and learn to relax yourself.”

Steffan didn’t say anything but listened quietly.

Cora said with a smile, “Auntie Helena, I think this is a good hobby. It’s good for self-cultivation and nurturing patience. My dad also loves playing chess. No wonder they can be old friends for decades.”

Helena only smiled with no reply.

At this moment, Savannah walked in with 15cm high stiletto heels, carrying an LV bag in her hand. When she saw Cora sitting on the sofa, she was so excited that she ran towards her hurriedly and asked in shock, “You are back?”

Cora stood up when Savannah hugged her enthusiastically, “When did you come back? Why haven’t you called me?”

Cora smiled and said, “Two days ago. Sorry, I am just busy with my job. I come to visit you once I am free today.”

Savannah sat together with Cora and asked, “Have you seen my brother?”

Cora nodded.

Savannah said directly, “Then when will you reunite with him?”

Zachariah and Ophelia overheard this when they got downstairs. Helena said in an angry tone, “How can you ask such a question? Your brother has been married for four years. Others will misunderstand it if they hear this.”

Savannah curled her lips in disdain, and said, “Mom, what kind of sister-in-law is she? She doesn’t have a good family background and is as poor as a church mouse. I think there must be some reasons for my brother to marry her at that time, and she’s coming for our money. I have never admitted her as my sister. Only you treat her as your daughter-in-law.”

“Stop talking nonsense! Is this how I teach you to treat your relatives?” Helena got angry and scolded her.

Savannah looked at Cora aggrievedly and said, “I don’t know which spellbound my sister has performed to my mom, making her lose her mind and love her so much. She even loves her more than

me.”

A flicker of stern passed through Cora’s eyes, but she was still smiling, “Savannah, Auntie always treats people fairly. Your sister-in-law must have extraordinary merits to win her love.”

Savannah was about to saying something when Ophelia suddenly said, “We have to go downstairs.”

Ophelia held Zachariah’s arm, while he simply glanced at her and didn’t drop her hand.

When they were downstairs, both Ophelia and Zachariah sat on the other side of sofa.

Savannah glanced at her with disdain and said in such a loud voice that everyone present could hear her, “A substitute is always a substitute. Once the genuine returns, the substitute should withdraw.”
