Chapter 23 Grievance


    Zachariah looked at Chester withplicated expression in his eyes, and said with a subdued voice,


    “You know what? Chester, whether I divorce with Ophelia or not afterwards, I warn you, she is still my


    wife, and if you do consider me as your friend, you should never say anything like that!”

    A smile lifted the corner of Chester’s mouth, as if he had already seen everything hidden deep


    underneath Zachariah.


    Then he said, “Well, I really don''t think that you''re ready to divorce her. Although you said you had


    made up your mind, while at the same time didn''t want any other men to chase her afterwards. Can I


    make the conclusion that you still have her in your heart?”


    Zachariah flushed, his face twisted and then said with a bit of anger, “Dare you say one more word


    about that, or I will not be so good-tempered!”


    “Take it easy, my friend.” Chester stepped forwards, put one of his hands on Zachariah''s shoulder and


    said, “I just remind you of your true feelings towards Ophelia, the woman who has married you for four


    years, and be cautious in decision making before you regret it afterward.”


    Zachariah seemed calm, while still shot a meaningful nce at Chester and said, “Stay out of my


    business, Chester. I know how to handle things right, and I never regret anything in my life.”


    “Well, I guess it will be only a waste of time to continue our conversation. Last warning, you will no


    longer be the only one to her after you divorce her.”


    After bidding farewell to his friends, Zachariah went into his car together with Ophelia, thinking over the


    words of Chester with his eyebrows slightly frowned.


    Realizing that something was wrong with Zachariah from his looks, Ophelia asked worryingly, “Your


    face looks pale since you came back from the restroom, Mr. Chambers. Are you feeling sick? Should


    we go to the hospital?”


    Zachariah looked at her with his head half-tilted, and asked in return, “Have you ever associated with


    Chester before?”


    “What? No! Of course not. Why do you say that?” said Ophelia in wondering.


    Zachariah revved up the engine in silence and pull the car onto the road. After driving for a while, he


    finally said, “Keep away from Chester from now on. Though we are only couple in name, it doesn''t


    mean that you could go out and dally with other men.”


    Such words really ignited Ophelia, and her face flushed with anger. She let out a bitterugh


    uncontrobly and asked, “Are you serious? Dallying with other men out there? What kind of woman do


    you think I really am? It was you who took me out to meet your friends, and now it is also you who


    seems unpleasant, seeing me talking and associating with them. What''s wrong with you, Mr.


    Chambers? Don''t tell me that you are being jealous.”


    “In a word, mind your behavior and do what you should do as a wife, Ophelia.” Zachariah sneered.


    “Well, just look what happened to our dear Mr. Chambers.” Ophelia seemed turned into a good mood


    and said, “Don''t you remember that it''s my character of being not so conservative that attracted you in


    the first ce, Mr. Chambers?”


    Zachariah shot a cold nce at Ophelia, but said nothing in response.


    His sudden change of mood had really confused Ophelia. Then she got close to Zachariah, stroked his


    face tenderly and asked, “I''m serious, what happened, Mr. Chambers?”


    Zachariah was still focusing on his driving.


    “Hey, tell me something! I want to know what makes you so angry.” Ophelia pushed herself closer to


    Zachariah, with her body almost pressed on him.


    “Sit still!”


    Ophelia wrapped Zachariah''s neck with her arms and continued, “Mr. Chambers, don’t be angry with


    me. You look so serious now, and I am scared.”


    Suddenly, Zachariah nced at her and pulled over the car. Soon, he pinched Ophelia''s chin forcefully,


    and said, “Now, I''m wondering what''s in your mind, Ophelia!”


    His pinch was so forceful that Ophelia almost cried out for pain. However, she stared at Zachariah


    tteringly and said with a smile, “I''m just wondering what you are thinking. You are really making me


    embarrassed since you neither tell me anything about your anger nor stop being angry with


    me.”
