Chapter 20 Friends
Chapter 20 Friends
When the meeting lasting for more than two hours was finally over, Zachariah came back to his office. As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Ophelia sleeping on the sofa, her body curled up like a little child.
There was a photo frame on her upper body that was about to drop off at any time. Seeing Ophelia so adorable at this moment, Zacharia’s eyes became soft subconsciously. He quickly walked over to pick up the photo frame and put it aside. However, his action woke up Ophelia.
Ophelia opened her eyes and saw him. The next second, her hands naturally wrapped around his neck. She rubbed his cheek with her face like a lazy kitten and said in a sleepish tone, “When did you come back?”
Zachariah seemed to enjoy her total dependence on him. He said with a smile, “Just now. I din’t intend to wake you up, as you are sleeping sound like a little puppy. I want to take you into the bedroom, and you wake up now.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Ophelia smiled and leaned her head against his neck. Then she said, “Mr. Chambers, when did you learn to care about others?”
Zachariah did not pull her up as usual and just enjoyed her coquetry. When she finished doing so, he said, “Have dinner with me later, Okay?”
Ophelia looked up and stared at him in confusion, “Mr. Chambers, you have never taken me to any dinner parties.”
“Just two of us.”
Ophelia raised her hand and patted her head gently, and then said with a smile, “Look at me. I just forgot it. But why are you so happy today? You call me here just to have dinner with me?”
“We are a couple, aren’t we?”
Hearing the word “couple”, Ophelia’s heart throbbed as if she had been electrified by the current.
“Mr. Chambers, do you really regard me as your wife?” Ophelia gazed at him seriously, as if she wanted to find a clue in his eyes.
“You are my wife.”
Ophelia felt warmth surging in her heart, but soon became desperate upon hearing Zachariah's next sentence, “Though we’ll get divorced soon.”
Ophelia restrained the bitterness in her heart and forced a smile, “So apart from dinner, you called me today to sign the divorce papers in the law firm. Right?”
“Just have a meal with some friends. As for the divorce agreement, the lawyer will call you next week.” Zachariah said.
Ophelia was relieved. She knew the divorce would come sooner or later, but she was just not prepared at all, if he intended to do it now.
Zachariah raised her chin and looked at her with sharp eyes, “You just can’t wait to divorce me now?”
As the saying goes, he who first offends will complain first!
Ophelia hugged Zachariah's neck and smiled, “Mr. Chambers, it is you who provoked me first.”
Zachariah lowered his head to meet her eyes and said, “I’m the only one who can ask for a divorce. Remember, don’t have any thoughts of divorcing me.”
Ophelia was angry, but forced a smile on her face instead.
“Mr. Chambers, what you adopt is double standards and you surely have a privilege.”
Zachariah hugged her waist tightly and lifted her up. Then, he put her aside before saying, “Get up now. Let's go out for dinner.”
Ophelia kept smiling and was not angry with Zachariah's rude behavior. She followed him to the elevator, went downstairs, and sat in the car.
After fastening the seat belt, Ophelia said, “Mr. Chambers, who are we going to have dinner with?”
“Some of my close friends. They are quite sociable, so you don’t have to feel reserved.”
A surprised expression flashed in Ophelia's eyes, before she said with a smiling face, “Mr. Chambers, you always prevented me from seeing your friends, didn’t you?”
“They want to see you.”
So the implication was that they wanted to see her, not that he wanted to take her to them.
Nevertheless, Ophelia was delighted from the bottom of her heart.
