Ophelia still continued to fill his plate with food while saying, “Being unhappy is now unnecessary for
me. Miss Fletcher has been the one you love the most. It’s just a routine for you the care about her.
After all, you have kept your eyes on her for so long. I am sure now you still dream of her, right?”
Hearing that, Zachariah seemed to notice her hidden jealousy.
“Hey, are you sure you didn’t notice how jealousy you were?” Zachariah teased.
Ophelia cast a glimpse at him, “Mr. Chambers, are you feeling good when jeering at me?”
Hearing that, he couldn’t help laughing loud. Meanwhile, Ophelia suddenly went blank while staring at
his laughing face.
As his laughter ceased, Ophelia said unexpectedly, “Zachariah, you look really attractive while
laughing.”
Zachariah paused all of a sudden. Then he noticed what she was saying.
So he asked jokingly, “Were you being infatuated because of me?”
At this moment, the candlelight even seemed to strip him off from his casual pride. Instead, he was now
glowing with a sense of tenderness and kindness.
Ophelia felt like being trapped by his amazing charm. Meanwhile, her heartbeat seemed to lose control.
Zachariah suddenly turned around and beckoned her over in a gentle manner. Ophelia still seemed to
get lost while staring at him.
Zachariah said, “Miss Gorgeous, may I be your prince charming tonight and have a dance with you?”
Ophelia was so surprised with her hands covering her mouth, showing great disbelief in her eyes.
Then he continued, “So Miss Gorgeous, may I?”
After a few seconds of surprise, she put her hand onto his decently. Then she stood up as he gently
lifted her hand.
Zachariah rested his hand on her waist and said with deep voice, “Would you mind dancing with me
under the absence of music?”
Ophelia shook her head and answered wryly, “I have never seen you being so romantic before.”
Zachariah smiled, “Actually, I am good at being romantic.”
Ophelia teased, “Oh, so you were just pretending before?”
Zachariah made a gesture of hush and then his sexy voice echoed, “Girl, just stay quiet and feel it
yourself.”
Ophelia then kept her mouth shut.
Both of them were dancing though in silence. It was such a wonderful moment.
While Zachariah and Ophelia were spending romantic time together, coldness still lingered in the
hospital.
Savannah pulled a sofa over beside the bed and then sprawled on it. She fixed her eyes on Cora, who
was lying on the bed with a pale face, “Cora, what makes you suffer so much? How did you get a
miscarriage? I don’t even know you are in the hospital if my mom hasn’t told me about it at noon. You
really broke my heart.”
While looking at Savannah, Cora went bloodshot in her eyes with tears.
Savannah hurried to hand over some tissues for her, “What happened? Why are you crying?”
Cora looked quite distressed. She said with a pitiful face, “Savannah, we have been friends since we
were kids. I have never showed my tears in front of anyone but you only. I don’t even dare to cry in
front of your brother because I was worried if he would dump me once he got annoyed. I am afraid
perhaps it would be driven crazy if I don’t have someone for myself to vent out.”
Savannah gently wiped the tears on her face and said, “Just tell me if you are aggrieved. I will always
be on your side. You are the beloved one who my brother cares the most. Don’t be worried if he would
be annoyed. I am sure he still cares about you if he sees you crying.”
Upon hearing that, Cora cried even louder. She looked more touching at this moment.
Savannah truly viewed Cora as her bestie. So she also hoped that Cora could finally marry her brother.
Now she was rendered even more agitated when seeing Cora crying.
“Cora, just tell me. Stop crying. Tell me what makes you suffer! What’s more, I will back you up.” Said
Savannah.
Cora wiped her tears and seemed to tantalize, “Savannah, you are the only one who I could confess to.
Please don’t tell Zachariah about it. I am afraid if he would deem me an evil one being alienating if he
knows that. I know it was I who made him suffer because of my waywardness. Even if he deserts me, I
deserve it.”
Savannah was rendered so confused. But she still continued, “It was just an old story. You need to
keep your eyes straight forward. What’s more, now you are back. My brother only cares about you still.
I can tell he won’t leave you alone.”
Cora sighed when hearing that.
She kept her head down to cover up the hatred burning in her eyes. She pretended to be powerless
and pitiful, “Savannah, to be honest, Zachariah seems to fall in love with Ophelia. Now he cares more
about her. What’s worse, his concern with me has declined. I am afraid once Ophelia gives birth to the
baby, she could make it a bond between Zachariah and herself. And that turns me into an awkward
nobody.”
