Chapter 9 Fall in Love?
Upon hearing her answer, Madeleine sat up, and the sleepiness in her eyes disappeared suddenly, “How much money will you get? Ophelia, I know you love money. Don’t tell me that you fall in love with him, so you don’t want his money anymore.”
Ophelia pulled a long face and said, “Madeleine, am I so greedy for money in your eyes?”
“Of course, you are not greedy. You just like money.” Madeleine said with a solemn expression.
Then she continued, “Come on, tell me how much you will get if he divorces you.”
Ophelia kicked off her slippers, sat on the bed, and buried her face in the quilt. Then she said in a low, muffled voice, “Madeleine, I have already fallen for Zachariah. What should I do?”
Madeleine said with obviously surprise in her tone, “Ophelia, do you really fall in love with him? He is your employer. I thought you were just joking!”
“I don’t want to fall in love with him either; but it’s so hard to control myself. It was already too late when I found it out. The woman he loves is about to come back for him. I hate her so much that I really want to kill her, but I don’t want to make him hate me.”
Ophelia said in a low, muffled voice. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Madeleine resumed her seriousness and asked, “Ophelia, are you serious?”
Ophelia nodded.
Madeleine said sullenly, “Ophelia, you dummy! What else could I say? In the beginning, you vowed that you married him only for his money. How could you possibly fall in love with him?”
“If I could control something like my feelings, I wouldn’t be so upset.” Ophelia said with annoyance.
Madeleine sat next to her and said, “Zachariah is indeed handsome, but don’t you hate the men that are not loyal the most? What’s more, you have already made a deal with him at the first place. He pays you, and you pretend to be his obedient wife for the time being. That’s all. I thought you would put aside your personal feelings when you agreed to it. I didn’t expect you to lose control one day.”
Ophelia smiled bitterly.
Just as she said, if personal feelings could be controlled by oneself, there wouldn’t be so many young men and women who were deeply in love but were unable to fulfill their passion in the world.
Apart from being wealthy and handsome, Zachariah did have no other strengths. Everyone knew that he had many love affairs and numerous scandals. But there were still countless women pestering for such a man. Knowing that there was a bottomless abyss ahead, they still jumped into it. In the end, it was always the women who were deeply hurt.
“Madeleine, I will sign the divorce agreement next week. By then, we will have nothing to do with each other.” Ophelia said, unable to lift her spirts.
“Then what do you want to do? Divorce him, or snatch him from another woman?” Madeleine went straight to the point.
Ophelia shook her head and said helplessly, “With your imagination as a novelist, what will happen next?”
Madeleine glanced at her and spoke in a straightforward tone, “Based on the plot of my novel, you will definitely get divorced later. After that, Zachariah realize that you are his true love, and start chasing after you fiercely. Then, you will make him suffer severely because of your previous sufferings.”
“When you get back together again, another man who has always loved you appears, and then female No. 2 and No. 3 will appear as well. In a word, there will be someone scrambling for you or him in a love pentagon. Your love is full of frustrations. Of course, you will have a happy ending. But those women who have harmed the heroine will be “tortured” by the two male protagonists during the entire process.”
Ophelia burst out laughter despite the bitterness in her heart.
