Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 77 A Simple Birthday Party



Only Ophelia, Madeleine and Zachariah celebrated the birthday this year. It was the simplest birthday that Zachariah had ever
participated in. Looking at Ophelia who was making a wish in the reflection of the candle fire, he could not help but feel
sympathetic.
He was the only son of Chambers Family. His birthday was always given much attention so that many businessmen dreamed to
resort to the banquet to have connections with him. The participants of his birthday party were mainly businessmen celebrities.
Besides, the gifts he received were also at the price of million dollars or even tens of million dollars. Nevertheless, as for the
woman next to him, he married her for four years, but not a single year was spent to throw a birthday party for her. When he was
happy, he demanded the secretary to buy her a designer bag, or top make-up brands, or else to buy a separate villa, and then
sign her name on the real estate license. Other than that, he couldn’t remember what he had done for her.
According to him, Ophelia was just a small pet. When he was happy, he would take her out for a walk. When he was unhappy, he
would just put her aside. The gifts he gave Ophelia were all prepared by the secretary. He said Ophelia was obsessed with
money and all the top brands. In fact, he was not clear at all what she was fond of.
Seeing the woman in front of him who felt so content with just a single cupcake, Zachariah wondered if he really knew Ophelia.
She said she loved money and all the designer brands. Was she really like that?
Zachariah was a little confused.
Madeleine’s slightly satirical sounds pulled back the wandering Zachariah, “Mr. Chambers, today is Ophelia’s birthday. I wonder
what gift you the rich have prepared for her.”
Before Zachariah could say anything, Madeleine continued, “Let me guess. I think such a rich guy as Mr. Chambers should be
never short of money. The prepared gift must be a diamond ring or a designer bag. Well, the gifts prepared by the rich like Mr.
Chambers are really nothing new at all. You don’t even know what Ophelia really likes.”
Zachariah was sulky and said, “What do you mean by that?”
Madeleine comfortably cut another piece of cake and said with a sneer, “Just literal meaning. Mr. Chambers, you have got a
double doctorate, a famous elite student. How can’t you even understand this?”
Ophelia glanced at Madeleine, whispering, “Madeleine, you’ve gone a bit too far. If you keep doing so, I’ll get angry.”
Madeleine scowled at her, saying with hatred, “Honey, can’t you see that I’m blaming on him for you?”

Ophelia’s eyes flashed a glimmer of gloom, but she smiled cheerfully on her face, “Mr. Chambers and I are just a contractual
couple. How could you expect Mr. Chambers to treat me well as if he’s a real husband? Besides, who said I don’t like designer
bags and clothes? Those are worth tens or even hundreds of thousands. Some women couldn’t own it at all, but I am so content.
Don’t scare away my benefactor, otherwise we’ll have to bring out the worst in each other.”
Madeleine felt even more resentful.
Zachariah pondered.
“It seems that you’re not into the diamond ring necklace I gave to you.” Zachariah thought for a moment and uttered.
The cake that Ophelia had just swallowed got stuck at her throat all of a sudden, and she coughed violently, which really
frightened Zachariah and Madeleine.
Madeleine quickly got her a glass of water and said, “Take a drink first.”
Ophelia took the water and gulped it before she could barely suppress the violent cough.
Madeleine gently patted her back and mixed her care with blame, “How come could you chock yourself when you were having
the cake as usual? You are always careless while doing things. How worrisome you are!”
Tightening the corners of his mouth, Zachariah said awkwardly, “Is everything okay?”
Ophelia waved her hand, “No big deal. Just a choke.”
Zachariah said drily, “Be careful while having meals.”
Ophelia nodded.
The atmosphere of a birthday party, with only three people at present, seemed somewhat uncomfortable because Zachariah
joined in. The party ended at half past eleven.
Madeleine sent them to the front door and said, “Honey, I’ve packed your birthday present and had the delivery man send it to
your house. It was signed by those in the security room. Just ask them to give it to you when you are back.”
Ophelia hugged her and smiled, “Madeleine, I’m so delighted today. I hope that you will always be with me on my birthday and
we’ll be best friends forever.”

Madeleine patted her little face, pretended to disgust and smiled, “Don’t talk nonsense. I feel flattered. It’s late now. It’s time for
you go back.”
Ophelia nodded.
Ophelia and Zachariah took the elevator down to the parking lot. When they got into the car, Zachariah asked, “Does Madeleine
have some misunderstanding about me?”
“Mr. Chambers, you don’t even bother to get to know my friend, and you’re also afraid of being misunderstood by her?” Glancing
at him, Ophelia said with a smirk.
Zachariah slowly turned the car around and pulled out, saying, “She’s good looking, but she’s rather irritable. I don’t think any
men can put up with her. By contrast, you are the cutest one.”
“Mr. Chambers, are you praising me?”
“You’re my wife. Can’t I even praise you?”
“Mr. Chambers, do you think I’m your real wife?”
Zachariah fell silent.
Ophelia shrugged.
Suddenly, silence prevailed the car and the atmosphere turned awkward.
After quite a while, Ophelia seemed to spoil the atmosphere and said, “Mr. Chambers, I will leave for S City for a training in a few
days. Miss Fletcher also doesn’t intend to go back to Europe again. What’s you plan for tackling our issue? Divorce or not? I
think you should give Miss Fletcher an explanation. I don’t want her to come to me three or four times behind your back.”
