Ophelia asked with a deep sigh, “If you’re not interested in me that way, Zachariah, then why would you be so nice and caring to me? Don’t you know how hard it is for a woman to fall out of love with a man once she falls in love with him?”

Ophelia gently fondled his cheeks. “You’re the cruelest man I know. So good at capturing one’s heart, but so bad at returning it to the original owner.”

“With this baby in my belly,” said Ophelia, simultaneously smiling and crying, “I’ve grown a lot more sentimental. Do you detest this long-winded version of me?”

Ophelia leaned carefully into his embrace. “I’m not going to divorce you, Zachariah. And I will keep you around with some tricks if necessary. I am never going to desert you for as long as you need me.”

And then she, too, shut her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

After a quiet night of sleep, Ophelia woke up the next day to find the other side of the bed empty, and so was the bathroom. When she got out of the bedroom to look downstairs, there was no sight of Zachariah, either. Plucking at her hair, Ophelia was spotted by Mrs. Miriam as the latter came out of the kitchen to serve breakfast.

“Up so early, my lady?”

“G’morning, Mrs. Miriam.”

“Morning.”

Plucking again at her hair, Ophelia asked, “Do you know where Zachariah is?”

“The young master left at around 8 o’clock this morning, and he specifically told me you needed a bit more sleep before he left – that’s why I didn’t go upstairs to wake you up. Come down for breakfast then, since you’re up. The food will lose its nutritional value if eaten at a later time.”
