Johnny smiled flickeringly with a shrug and he said, “As wise as you are, you will figure it out as long as
you think it over.”
“She won’t.” Zachariah looked at Johnny as a warning.
Johnny was frustrated. It seemed that his friend was truly fallen, just for a woman who he used to be
contemptuous of.
“Ok, I will say no more.” Johnny threw his hands up and he said, “Sister-in-low is sexy indeed, but she
was more than that. She is gracious and generous woman, so it is possible for you to love her. But
there’s one thing I can’t believe is that after five years, you finally admit that you love her. I thought it will
only cost you two years, but you are so determined to wait for a woman that you don’t love. Otherwise,
sister-in-low will not lose so much faith in you.
Zachariah said nothing. He looked down and kept drinking.
Johnny raised the glass and said, “Cheers, it’s quite dull to drink all the time.”
Zachariah clinked his glass against Johnny’s.
Johnny slowly drank and appreciated the whisky in the glass. He said, “Zachariah, I think you really have
to think over your marriage. It is nothing but a joke that I’ve said you may be framed by her. A woman will
not be so generous to hand over her husband. Anyway, you have betrayed her, so it is reasonable for
her to ask for a divorce concerning your attitude to Cora. I think you can have a divorce first and then
start to peruse her again. Your relationship will be more pure basing on love instead of individual
interests.
Zachariah thought for a while.
Two men kept silent and didn’t realize how much they have drunk. Zachariah said gravely, “Johnny,
thanks a lot.”
“It would be fine, if you don’t think it is a bad idea.
” Johnny raised the glass and clinked against each other.
“No. You remind me of the mistake. People often say that I am a gifted businessman, but I am actually
stupid when socializing with women. I am neither romantic nor gentle. It was quite a strike when Cora left
me at that time, so I trade money for a marriage. As you said, it is a mistake for both Ophelia and me.
The hurt still hurts no matter I realize how importance she is to me now. Perhaps, our relationship will
develop toward a brighter future now that the end also represents the beginning.”
Zachariah shook the glass in his hand and spoke.
What Johnny said enlightened him. He understood how much he wanted to pursue Ophelia and to make
her willingly marry him. He would never let her go no matter how hard it would be. He would value her,
care for her and love her, always and forever.
However, Zachariah never expected it would be two years before he would meet Ophelia after the
divorce. He was painful enough to be a walking dead. He could only work to distract from missing her.
Zachariah could not foresee the future, so he was drowning in the imagination of pursuing Ophelia. Thus,
he could not realize that Ophelia would leave the city and Ted would keep a secret of the track of
Ophelia. In the days without Ophelia, he would be sorrowful and work like a machine.
“Zachariah, I’d like to wish you two be together as soon as possible.” Johnny raised a glass. “As long as
you show your sincerity, Ophelia will be your wife sooner or later. I should wish you have another son to
play with Tommy, which is also a good sign.”
Zachariah smiled slightly and seemed to be a little happier.
Zachariah and Johnny were apart leaving the KTV.
Zachariah planned how to pursue Ophelia, so he lowered his profile to ask subordinates, who looked at
him weirdly as if they saw a ghost.
Zachariah rapped the table with his pen, “Is it so hard to pursue a girl?”
Subordinates understood immediately.
Many more opinions were uttered, but Zachariah was bored by these similar things.
First, at the beginning, buy her breakfast and go to her place to wait. Go to work together.
Second, make sure she can see you everyday and do whatever she likes.
Fight against whoever treats her badly.
Third, be brave enough to be her backup.
Forth, treat her well. She will be yours if she gets used to your way and no one can afford her pretty little
temper.
Fifth, be kind to her family and friends.
Sixth, keep in mind all the festivals and anniversaries that can express love, such as Valentine’s Day,
100 days’ Anniversary, Kiss’ Anniversary, Wedding Anniversary.
Zachariah listened and took some notes— like a pupil.
The subordinates’ eyes popped at the sight of the actions of Zachariah. They looked at each other, full of
questions.
Flynn, the assistant of Zachariah for years, wrung his hands and asked, “President Zachariah, what do
you plan to do?”
“Pursue the Young Mister, what do you think?” Zachariah asked seriously but others seemed to take it as
a joke.
Flynn was frighted a little and smiled, “President Zachariah, are you joking? Why do you need to pursue
since you two are so much in love?”
“How can you think we are in love?” Zachariah steadied himself with his hands on the table and nobody
could figure out his feelings.
Flynn swallowed and looked at Zachariah carefully. He laughed embarrassingly, “President Zachariah,
you must be joking. Your marriage lasts for over five years and that’s why you and Young Mister are
deeply in love! President Zachariah is handsome and now has the Young Master. What a happy family!”
These words enlightened Zachariah. He spent five years to figure out the problem which is easily
explained by others. Thus, he was indeed an idiot referring to the matters of love. reading more
