Zachariah grabbed her hand and nipped it gently on the back of her hand, “Call me husband.”
Ophelia couldn't help laughing, but accidentally pulled the wound.
“What's wrong?” Asked Zachariah nervously.
Ophelia coughed several times. When the pain subsided, she shook head, “I'm fine. Take it easy.”
Zachariah was relieved.
Madeleine looked on, her eyes turning red. She was happy to see that Ophelia found a man who was
kind to her forever, but she also embraced some worries. She still remembered Cora, who was the
great hinder between Ophelia and Zachariah. Cora would not like to withdraw with her self-will. She
was born in a rich family and known as Piano princess. She will never accept herself to be the one who
was dumped.
She was worried that Cora would do something crazy to harm Ophelia.
Women, especially immersed in the river of love she pursued but failed to get, once went mad, which
was absolutely dangerous.
Madeleine was really careful. She would not fall in love with someone with full heart and withdraw with
false determination while her loved one fell in love with someone else. She will never do that like
Ophelia. She was a novelist, but she was practical which was not like other novelist obsessed with the
unrealistic romance in the fictional world.
She was very practical and carefully weighed the benefits and losses of everything she did, except for
Ophelia. But she was not mean, and what she had done was to control everything and avoid any
accidents.
For example, she had sort of love feeling to Carson, which she cannot feel from other men. But so
what? She and Carson were not in one world. If she dated Carson and married him, she would not
enjoy the life as a wife of a rich man at the cost of her career.
She was very rational and thought over everything, so she didn’t accept Carson. Perhaps she might be
regarded as a coward, but it’s a way for her to protect herself.
Madeleine chimed in, “Sweetie, we are just here, so don’t be so intimate with President Chambers.”
Ophelia’s cheeks were burning. Zachariah just now was so charming, so she did ignore another two
guys in the room.
“Sorry.” Ophelia said apologetically.
Madeleine waved hands and said generously, “As women in love do, I forgive you generously for
ignoring me.”
Ophelia blushed a little.
After the blush dispersed, she looked over at Ted, “Ted, can I call you so? I do think you should keep
protecting Zachariah. He is busy and always under the spot light. He is easier to meet dangerous
situation. I believe that you used to protect him and you can keep protecting him. I don’t need a
bodyguard.”
Ted just kept silent.
Zachariah held Ophelia's hand and said with a spoiled and undeniable voice, “Ophelia, with Ted round
you, I will rest assured a lot. Ted is good at martial arts with great reaction ability, and he can protect
you well. Besides, he is absolutely loyal to his mater and he will never betray you.”
Ophelia opened her lips to speak, but Zachariah stopped her by kissing.
Instead, Madeleine twitched her lips, “President Chambers, he is not a shower, is he? Wilfred also
boasted his bodyguards, but Ophelia got harmed on the first day when the bodyguard began his work.
But Ophelia didn’t mind and blamed them.”
Zachariah gave a look to Ted, who read it immediately. His body moved and he was two meters away
from the sofa at the next second.
Madeleine looked at him with a dumbstruck face and blurted out, “Wow, you can do that?”
With a stern face, Ted didn’t say a word.
Madeleine was so adoring that she ran up to him without thinking but missed and fell on the sofa.
Ophelia watched and exclaimed, “Madeleine, are you okay?”
Madeleine got up from the sofa.
Ophelia couldn't help but laugh loudly as she looked at her in discomfiture.
Madeleine was not annoyed, but looked at Ted with more admiration, bowing, “Sir, you are a master of
kung fu. Please forgive me for my doubts just now.”
The corners of Ted's mouth twitched. This woman really left him a deep impression.
Ophelia could not help laughing and she reminded, “Madeleine, stop it.”
Madeleine looked at Ted who was showing a face full of helplessness, but in an instant she returned to
normal.
She scratched the back of her head, saying, “I'm just kidding. Don't mind. I've been thinking about
writing a martial arts novel recently. You are my inspiration and would you like to be the hero in my next
novel.”
Ted was a little confused.
Ophelia explained, “Ted, Madeleine is a novelist and her novel sells well. You know that novelists have
good imagination, Don’t be scared.”
In fact, he had been scared.
