Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 49

Zachariah frowned and was obviously angry.

Then Cora immediately added in a softer tone, "I don't mean to get you angry, Zach! I'm just caring about you too much: indeed, I shouldn't have gone abroad selfishly years ago, but why couldn't you just wait for my return? Hearing that you were married, I felt badly hurt inside, and couldn't stop asking myself whether you gonna leave me forever. That's why I'm being hysterical for the moment."

Upon hearing her confession, Zachariah embraced her tenderly into his arms and comforted her in a warm tone, "Just stop thinking around and get yourself prepared for the piano concert. I will divorce Ophelia once you finish all your duties in Europe and come back home."

"Promise me, Zach. Don't let me down." said Cora.

"You have my words, my love. And I shall never let you down." answered Zachariah.

A joyful and happy smile then finally spread on Cora's face. However, a sudden phone ring broke into their romantic atmosphere.

Someone was calling Cora. As she saw the number shown on the screen, her face turned stiff and somber.

Zachariah noticed the change in Cora's face and asked, "Who's that?"

As a sense of panic flashed through her eyes, Cora clenched her phone even more tightly. Zachariah stepped forwards aggressively and continued, "What is wrong?"

"Nothing! It's the head of our group. He's probably calling me back to rehearsal for the concert. It brings me stress since I'm not ready to leave you now." Cora made an excuse for her panic.

The words seemed to soften the stressing nerve of Zachariah. He then said in a slow and gentle tone, "Then, just hang up your phone, dear."

As the voice of him faded, Cora stood up and apologized, "Sorry, Zach. Excuse me for a second. I think I'd better answer the phone in case he is calling me for any emergency."

Zachariah gave a silent nod. She then marched into the bathroom to answer the phone and returned after five minutes, looking at Zachariah and hesitating to say a word.

"Is everything OK? You're not looking so good." asked Zachariah.

"The head is calling me back. He needs to confirm a few things of the concert with me face to face. Zach, I don't want to leave you so soon…"

Zachariah then stood up and said to Cora sincerely, "You have to take it seriously since it is your job. Come on, I will give you a ride."

Cora smiled and nodded.

Going downstairs together with Cora, Zachariah suddenly received a phone call from his mother: she was asking him to go back home. As he hung off the phone, Cora asked curiously, "What happened, Zach?"
