Chapter 34 Can You Flee from Him?
Madeleine looked at her and thought she was a fool. “Do you think you can flee from his control?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Since you deny it, why do you think he will let you go?”
Ophelia closed his eyes and said inexplicably, “Madeleine, I have found a job.”
Madeleine was so anxious about her current state, and said immediately, “Ophelia, are you kidding me? We are discussing about the baby. Why are you mentioning your job? Are you short of money? I can give it to you if you need any. Why are you looking for a job when you are pregnant? You really want to piss me off.”
Ophelia patted her hand and said, “Madeleine, don't be restless. We have agreed that he can't intervene in my work. In other words, if the company sends me to another city or abroad to work for a few months, he can't object to it.”
Madeleine looked at her in surprise and said, “Is there still such an agreement?”
But Madeleine was still worried, “Ophelia, even so, if Zachariah suddenly wants to see you, he will find it out.”
Obviously, Ophelia hadn't thought about this possibility at all.
Madeleine became even more helpless, “Ophelia, do you really want to piss me off? I thought you were always shrewd, but you are so confused in this matter. Both your marriage and divorce are in the hands of Zachariah. Why were you so stupid to sign such an agreement?”
Ophelia remained silent.
Madeleine took a deep breath before saying, “My dear, you were born to make me mad.”
Instead, Ophelia calmly patted the bed, “Don't be angry. I heard that Cora is coming back. Zachariah should have no time to look for me, and he will divorce me as soon as possible.”
Madeleine listened quietly, then sat up suddenly and said, “Ophelia, I don't approve of your divorce. You are the genuine Mrs. Chambers. Why do you give way to a coquette?”
Ophelia pulled at her pajamas and said, “Madeleine, what's wrong with you? You have just recovered, and you can't stand the toss.”
Madeleine lay down again and turned to look at Ophelia in her eyes.
“My dear, are you really willing to give up the fruits of your hard labor for four years?”
“I told you that I don't have the right to decide on my marriage with Zachariah. Okay, it's late now, and I have to go to work tomorrow.”
“Honey, are you kidding me? Will you go to work tomorrow? When did you look for a job? Why don't I know it?”
“The CEO of the company is my college classmate. I told him that I needed a job, and he arranged a sinecure for me.”
“College classmate? Who is he?” Madeleine's eyes widened and said anxiously, “Ophelia, don't tell me that he is Tassach Conduibh. If it's that bastard, I will strangle you directly.”
“After so many years, do you still remember him?” Ophelia asked amusedly.
“I will never forget him. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't marry Zachariah for money in the first place, and I wouldn't be a freelance writer because of my fear of interpersonal relationships in the workplace either. I can't wait to cut him off.”
Ophelia pulled a wry face.
“Madeleine, you can't be so unreasonable. He didn't do anything wrong back then, and just didn't help us when we were wronged. If he helps us, he is kind enough, but it is not his obligation to help us. We can't blame him for that.”
Madeleine gritted her teeth, “My dear, it seemed you still went to him for help.”
Ophelia was noncommittal about it, but just smiled, “Madeleine, things have passed for so long, not to mention that we did wrong at that time. He was in trouble because of family affairs, so you can't expect him to get out and help us. Don't be angry with him.”
Madeleine exhaled, and her tone softened, “I know that he should not to be blamed. But we were in debt of millions at that time; otherwise, you would not be with Zachariah and be accused of being mammonish. Because of this, I am afraid of interpersonal relationship in the workplace. Thinking about it now, I still feel so aggrieved.”
Ophelia said in a gracious manner, “Madeleine, I've put it down a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be so angry. You really can't blame Tassach for that matter.”
Discouraged, Madeleine said unwillingly, “You are the one who was seriously affected. As you have said so, naturally I can't blame him. But I am surprised that you have not been in contact with him for many years, why are you contacting him now?”
