"I’ll look into what exactly happened between Cora and I, but no matter what the result might be, I was
wrong, and I won’t look for excuses for myself, but I’ll prove to you that I do love you. So let’s forget
about divorce, OK?"
Ophelia’s heart melted and she was about to agree, but she came to her senses at the thought of her
condition.
"Zachariah, let’s get a divorce," Ophelia said after a pause.
Zachariah’s eyes glinting dangerously, he threw a few hard punches against the wall, and now his fist
was bleeding.
Worried about him, Ophelia grabbed his fist and yelled tearfully, "No, stop!"
Zachariah grabbed her hand and asked expectantly, "Ophelia, you still care a lot about me, right?"
Ophelia simply wept, saying nothing. When with him, she was always a sucker who kept making
compromises.
Zachariah took her in his arms and whispered, "Ophelia, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Forgive me for this
once, and I promise I won’t do it again."
Ophelia wished she could agree now, but her reason told her that she had done so much just to make
Zachariah divorce her. If she softened now, what she had done before would be in vain.
With this thought, Ophelia pushed him away. She wiped the tears off and pretended to be cool.
"Zachariah, I’ll let my divorce lawyer talk to you about it in a few days." Tears streamed down her face
as she said that. "I saw you having sex with another woman yesterday. It turned out you’re also able to
be so passionate to some other woman, not only to me. You yelled that you loved her while holding her.
You’ll never understand how I feel at that moment. My heart broke into pieces." She pointed at her
heart, tears gushing out of her eyes. That was exactly how she felt yesterday. She thought she could
die.
"You were so in love with Cora. Maybe you will never understand my feelings. Maybe you take it for
granted that a man has a mistress. Is that the reason you thought I was joking when I asked for a
divorce? You’re so confident and conceited that you’re sure that I won’t leave you, even if my feelings
are hurt. But you forget that I’m also a human being, and I have feelings. I get upset when I see my
husband cheating on me with another woman, yet you hurt me again and again. I’m exhausted. Since
you can’t get Cora out of your mind, well, I’ll make your wish come true. I don’t want to be stuck in this
love triangle anymore. I’m devastated and worn out."
Zachariah was sent into a panic. He reached out to grab Ophelia’s hand, but she dodged him. Racking
his brains, Zachariah was unable to form a sentence, even though he had a lot to say.
"It’s not like that, Ophelia. I never think about it that way. I admit I used to ignore your feelings and turn
a blind eye to your emotions, but I’ve never done that again since your car accident. I care about you,
and I don’t want to make you sad. Don’t be like this. I beg of you," Zachariah pleaded.
Tears kept rolling down Ophelia’s face.
She shook her head violently, drew back and said, "Zachariah, I can’t think straight now, but I can never
forget the image of you having sex with another woman. It’s such a huge blow to me. We’re both mad
now, so let’s cool down a bit. Let’s talk about divorce a few days later. It’s good for both of us."
Suddenly, the way Zachariah looked at Ophelia turned grim.
"I won’t divorce you. Don’t ever think about leaving me," said Zachariah.
Ophelia felt exhausted. Zachariah and she were destined to be hurt badly by the divorce battle.
"Stop torturing yourself, Zachariah." Ophelia heaved a sigh, jaded. "I’m really tired. It’s true that I love
you, but I don’t want to watch you playing around with some other woman in front of me again and
again. I know you love Cora, and I’ll make your wish come true. I know I’m the loser in this love
triangle, and I accept it, but I don’t want Cora to make sarcastic remarks about me anymore, nor do I
want to see you juggling two women at a time. It’s exhausting."
Seething with rage, Zachariah was thinking about how he could make Ophelia understand he didn’t
love Cora at all. Admittedly, he had had a little compassion for Cora not long ago, but now, he was
totally disgusted by her.
Ophelia went on, "Zachariah, let’s calm down. Let’s talk about divorce when we cool down."
Zachariah scratched his head fretfully and grabbed Ophelia’s shoulders, asking, "But why? Apparently,
you love me, but why wouldn’t you give me another chance?"
Ophelia stared at him with mixed feelings. If possible, she wished she could throw herself into his arms
and cry out loud now. She wondered if she was right by doing all this, but the last thing she wanted was
to have Zachariah see her lose it.
When she lost her sight, the Chambers family wouldn’t mind it at first for humane reasons, but after one
year or two, they would definitely complain about it. After all, the Chambers family was wealthy, and
Zachariah was the president of a big corporation. Therefore, Helena wouldn’t allow her amazing son to
have a blind wife. Even if Helena was so kind to her, Ophelia wasn’t her biological daughter after all.
She had Savannah already.
Ophelia would rather quit the game at first than be kicked out of the house later. In that case, she
wouldn’t lose her pride while keeping a cordial relationship with the Chambers family.
However, Ophelia never expected that she would see Helena, who had always been so gentle and
kind, being so mean and nasty to her when it came to Tommy’s custody.
At that moment, Ophelia finally realized that she was the outsider of this family all the time. Helena
treated her as her biological daughter when there were no conflicts of interest, but when their interests
were concerned, Helena turned into a devil instantly and kicked her out of the house.
Ophelia had once thought that she would treat Helena as her biological mother in the future, but
Helena became a terrible and awful person at that moment.
"So you want a reason, right?" Ophelia looked up to meet Zachariah’s gaze, choked down the tears
and continued, "I will never forget the scene when you were having sex with another woman, and it
keeps reminding me to lower my expectation for you. How can someone tell me he loves me while
having sex with some other woman as if nothing serious is happening? Your love is too cheap. No, now
I’m wondering how sincere you are when you tell me you love me. Or, you sweet talk any woman you
meet. You enjoy my love for you, and you would throw me a bone from time to time. If so, I have to say
you’ve achieved your goal. I’m completely obsessed with you now, and I’m deeply hurt by you as well."
Zachariah’s eyes were fixed on her.
Meanwhile, Ophelia felt extremely sorry to witness this scene.
