Chapter 531 Conversation with Mr. Chambers
Ophelia, calm down. No one can take Tommy away from you. You’re his mother. Tommy will certainly
stay with you. No one’s gonna steal him from you. I can promise you that.” Zachariah said gently, which
comforted her.
Ophelia calmed down and realized her gaffe. She tidied her hair and lowered her head. “Sorry, I
overreacted.”
Zachariah looked at her tenderly and then then reached out to wrap her in his arms with his chin on her
head. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Ophelia breathed in his manly breath and cried helplessly. She knew she was too sentimentally attached
to Zachariah, which was a bad sign.
“I’m fine now.” she calmed down and gently slipped away from Zachariah’s arms with a shifty look in her
eyes.
“I’m going to see Tommy.” After saying that, Ophelia hurried out of the bedroom.
Zachariah’s dark eyes darkened with his fists clenching as he watched her walk out of the room.
Zachariah also left the bedroom, found Mrs. Chambers, and pulled her outside.
He made her a solemn bow and said, “Mom, Ophelia and I are divorcing for sure but I promise you that
she will still be my wife for a while. I hope you will respect my decision and not interfere in my marriage.
Tommy is young and it is natural for him to stay with his mother. The divorce was negotiated between
us.”
Mrs. Chambers had a dull pain in her chest.
“Bullshit! Zachariah .” Mrs. Chambers was turning blue with livid anger.
Zachariah had his back straight and his face serious.
He said, “Mom, I’ve thought this through.”
“Zachariah, I don’t agree. I don’t agree with your divorce. Tommy is too young to be a single-parent child
and there is no tradition of divorce in our family.”
After a pause, Mrs. Chambers added, “I had warned you that Ophelia didn’t deserve you when you
introduced her to me but you didn’t listen to me and insisted on marrying her. I turned a blind eye
because I thought that you were devastated by Cora’s leaving. I told you when you got married that once
you got married, it’s not possible to get divorced. No matter what you did out there, you had to return to
your family.
I don’t care if you have another woman out there but Ophelia is the future hostess of the Chambers
Family for sure. Hence, there’s no doubt that I do not approve of your naive divorce.”
Zachariah looked at Mrs. Chambers and suddenlypromised. “Mom, I know what I’m doing. I said
that Ophelia would be back to the family soon. I promise you. I’ve never ignored your words. Just let me
make the decision this time.”
Mrs. Chambers was even angrier.
“Nonsense! Divorce is no trifling matter.” She waved and said, “Stop it. I don’t agree with your divorce
and Tommy, as the eldest grandson of the Chambers family, will stay here forever.No one is gonna take
Tommy unless I die.”
After saying that, Mrs. Chambers entered the hall without looking at Zachariah.
Zachariah’s eyes grew probing. He had not expected his gentle mom to be so opposed to the divorce.
He seemed to have underestimated the importance she attached to marriage.
Mrs. Chambers stormed into her bedroom. Mr. Chambers, who was reading quietly in bed, looked at her.
He put the book down, got out of bed and walked over to her. “What’s going on? Why are you angry?”
Mrs. Chambers took a deep breath and said, “Both of our children are trouble-makers. They’re pissing
me off every day.”
Mr. Chambers was confused since he had no idea that Zachariah and Ophelia were getting divorced.
Mrs. Chambers took a look at him and gasped. “Your dear son and Ophelia are getting divorced.”
He was surprised. “Why? They were OK at dinner, weren’t they?”
“Both of them told me the decision. Zachariah said Ophelia would take the custody of Tommy after the
divorce. It just pisses me off that they’re treating their marriage like a joke.”

“Calm down. Maybe they were quarreling with each other and it will all be over in a day or two,” said Mr.
Chambers, taking her in his arms.
“You know Zachariah,” said Mrs. Chambers, “He wouldn’t say anything if he hadn’t thought it through. If
he said he wanted a divorce, he meant it. Anyway, you go have a word with him. I won’t let Ophelia take
Tommy.”
Mr. Chambers was deep in thought.
“I’ll talk to himter.”
That night, Mr. Chambers did have a long talk with Zachariah. When he heard that Zachariah insisted on
a divorce and offered to give the custody of Tommy to Ophelia, he was furious.
He had the same attitude as Mrs. Chambers. He thumped the desk and said, “Nonsense! I surely used
to want you and Ophelia to divorce but now you have Tommy and be close to her. Why don’t you
try to live a peaceful life? Do you have to get divorced for a quick high like those young couples? The
older you get, the more childish you are, aren’t you?”
Zachariah pursed his mouth.
“Dad,” he said after thinking for a while, “Ophelia and I have decided to get a divorce. It’s not a joke.”
“Nonsense!”
Mr. Chambers’ anger zed up. “You are getting along well with each other and love each other more
and more. I can tell that. I don’t think there is anything unsolvable to make you get a divorce. Aren’t you
horsing around?”
“Dad, it’s only a makeshift divorce. I will get Ophelia back. She is meant to be the daughter-inw of the
Chambers family” Zachariah said firmly.
Mr. Chambers clearly disagreed with Zachariah.
“Zachariah, I always thought you were mature but this has shown me how immature you are. Marriage is
not a game while you guys make the rash decision of divorce. Honestly, I’m disappointed.”
Mr. Chambers said reproachfully.
Zachariah bowed his head and listened to Mr. Chambers’ rebuke humbly.
“Stop talking about divorce from now on. You mother and I will not stop you from getting a divorce if you
don’t love each other anymore. However, I cannot just ignore your irrational decision now.”
Zachariah looked up at Mr. Chambers and said, “Dad, I’ve made the decision after careful consideration
and I hope you can respect me.” lightnoveldaily
