Chapter 136 Both I and Our Baby Miss You


    Mrs. Miriam went to kitchen with the empty tes. Zachariah wiped his mouth with a clean napkin and


    said, “Hurry up, and I’ll drive you to work.”


    Ophelia looked at him with a flickering smile and said, “Now you finally realize the responsibility as a


    husband?”


    “No more talking. Just eat.”


    Zachariah said pointing the milk behind Ophelia while she was eating a piece of bread, “You’re a


    mother-to-be. Drink more milk. It’s good for the baby.”


    Ophelia hesitated a second, nced at him, and nodded.


    The atmosphere was intimate and sweet. She thought the breakfast today was much more delicious


    than ever.


    After dinner, she put on her clothes, took a bag and asked him, “Mr. Chambers, shall we go now?”


    He nodded in agreement.


    She held his arm and smiled, “Then let’s go.”


    As they stepped out of the house, Zachariah’s phone rang. ncing at Ophelia out of subconscious,


    he took out the phone. It was from Cora Fletcher.


    Zachariah frowned slightly at the call. Obviously, Ophelia has seen the name and her smile faded a bit.


    She sneered, “Mr. Zachariah, your lover is calling you. Pick it up quickly, or she will me me if there is


    something wrong with her.”


    He nced at her with unpleased eyes. When he picked up the phone, he softened his tone.


    “Cora, what’s up?”


    “Zach, are you working?”


    “No, I’m off to work.”


    “My car was broken yesterday and I don’t want to take a taxi. Can you pick me up? Both I and our baby


    miss you very much.” Cora was acting cute on the other end of the phone.

    He kept frowning.


    “You don’t want toe? I’m having your baby now. How could you be so indifferent to me? You don’t


    love me anymore, do you?”


    “I’ll see you at noon. Now just behave yourself, will you?” he said patiently.


    “Zach, our baby and I miss you so much. I’lle back to Europe if you don’te over now. As for


    the baby, I’ll abandon it since you don’t love it.” Unexpectedly, Cora lost her temper.


    His brows were knotted.


    “Don’t be silly, Cora. I’ll pick you up now.” He fought down his impatience.


    “Just be quick. We miss you.” Cora left a word obediently before she hung up.


    Putting the phone in his pocket, he said to Ophelia, “Darling, can you go to work by yourself? I have to


    see Cora, just in case.”


    “OK, Mr. Zachariah. Don’t worry. Just go.” She put on a decent smile.


    Kissing her on the forehead, he said, “Drive safe. Call me any time you need me.”


    With an indifferent smile, she said, “Don’t be so such a mother hen. I’m just going to work by myself.


    It’s not a big deal.”


    He urged once again before he left by car. A haunted sadness took the ce of her smile after he left.


    She got on the car, took a deep breath and drove away.


    On the way to work, she received a call from Madeleine. She picked it up and talked to her, pretending


    nothing had happened. “Howe you call me so early?”


    “I didn’t sleepst night because I have been writing for the whole night. I was calling to ask if you are


    free tonight for a dinner. I miss the baby.”


    “How could I refuse you since you have asked me? We haven’t had dinner for days, then let’s meet


    tonight.”


    “OK. Then I’m off to bed. I’ll see you tonight.”


    “Have a good rest. Don’t exhaust yourself. I’ll call to wake you up for lunch.”


    “Don’t, sweetie. It’s near the due dates, so my editor has been urging me for several days. It almost


    drives me crazy. My brain is full of the scenes of the story now. I need a good sleep and I’ll call you


    after I’ve got enough sleep.”


    Unobstructed, Ophelia drove the car to thepany after the call.


    After parking the car, she entered thepany with her bag. On the hall, she ran across Tassach, who


    had been waiting for her. At the sight of him, she stopped because it urred to her that when Tassach


    called herst night when she was making love with Zachariah and he heard all of it by chance. She


    was so embarrassed.


    Her cheeks were about to burn. While she was hesitating if she should go up or leave, Tassach walked


    up to her. She forced herself to be calm and was about to say hello to him, he unexpectedly caught her


    hand and pulled her out of the hall.


    He pulled her so hard that she couldn’t struggle. She sensed the gazes from the staffs around, so she


    said in a low voice, “Mr. Conduibh, let me go. People are watching us.”


    Ignoring her words, Tassach pulled her out of thepany in a sulk.


    She came to be angry and said, “Mr. Conduibh, what’s wrong with you? Many people are watching us.”


    He stopped finally and turned to look at her, saying, “I’ll take you to a ce. I have to talk to


    you.”
