Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 44 Apologize to Her

Ophelia pretended that she didn’t hear anything, while Helena said, “If you continue talking nonsense, you have to go upstairs.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Savannah finally stopped talking.

Helena looked at Ophelia with affection and said, “Have you had breakfast yet?”

“Yes, mom.”

Helena nodded and said, “If you don’t, I can ask Mrs. Gordon to prepare you some.”

“Both of us have had breakfast. It’s fine, mom.”

Helena nodded with a smile.

They chatted casually.

Time flied and soon it was lunch.

Ophelia was sitting right to Zachariah on the table, while Cora seemed to sit on his right deliberately. Helena petted Ophelia’s hand and comforted her, “Never mind. You are my real daughter-in-law, while others are simply my son’s passers-by.”

Ophelia glanced at Cora and whispered, “Mom, don’t think too much. She is the guest and I should treat her nicely.”

Helena’s fondness toward her grew and she said, “You’re a good child. If my son makes you angry, you only have to tell me and I will teach him a lesson.”

Ophelia replied with a smile, “He’s always busy at work, but he treats me well. Recently, I have found a job and he doesn’t stop me.”

Helena frowned and asked, “Why are you going to work? Doesn’t he give you enough money?”

“No, mom. I get bored sometimes and want to get a job to kill time. I major in designing in university and that is why I got a job in a design company.” Ophelia explained patiently.

“Young people should have opportunities to improve themselves. It’s a good chance. However, there’s too much work or the boss is too mean, you can always quit the job and I will ask my son to arrange an easy job for you in the company.”

“Thanks mom. If that company is mean, I will take a job in Chambers Group.”

Helena nodded.

Savannah looked at her in despise and said, “Well, I never expect that you are graduate from university. But I suppose it can never be called university, just a college. No wonder you always rely on our family for a living.”

Helena tried to warn her and said, “The guests are still here and you’re treating you sister-in-law rudely. Do you want me to teach you how to behave yourself?”

Savannah pouted and said, “Mom, I really don’t understand what’s wrong with you. Dad, brother and I don’t like her. You’re the only one who stands by her side…”

“Don’t you want to have meals anymore? You’re in your twenties but still acting like a child. I don’t know where are the manners I taught you before are. You’d better reflect on yourself after lunch.”

Savannah put down his chopsticks and complained, “Mom, how can you blame your own daughter for an outsider? Is me your daughter or her? Why are you always favoring her?”

Zachariah put down the chopsticks as well and looked at Savannah calmly, saying, “You should apologize to mom.”

Apparently, Savannah was afraid of her brother. She became weak suddenly when her brother started talking, “Mom, I didn’t mean to it, sorry.”

Helena’s face darkened, “Let’s have lunch first. We still have guests here. Don’t let others see the jokes.”

Because of Savannah, the guests left once the lunch was over and Steffan’s suggestion of playing chess failed.

Steffan scolded Savannah after the Fletchers left, “You’re becoming ruder now. She is your mom. How can you talk her back impolitely in front of others?”

Savannah stared at Ophelia fiercely, “Dad, I am not talking her back. I just don’t like to have lunch with someone.”

“Ophelia is your sister-in-law after all. You not only put her in dilemma, but also make your brother embarrassed. How would others treat our family if this spreads out? Our family was a laughing stock a few years ago. Do you want to let that happen again? What’s wrong with you?”

Savannah replied, “Dad, are you blaming me?”

Ophelia tried to comfort them and said, “Dad, it’s all my fault. I don’t have a rich or powerful family background and can’t match Zachariah at all. No wonder Savannah doesn’t like me.”

Zachariah frowned and didn’t want Ophelia to look down on herself.

His voice became cold and serious, “Savannah, you should apologize to her!”
