Just as I had expected, Eloise loved my gift. She was so excited that she called everyone over to see the special treasure I had given her.“Mary, Mary,” Eloise called. “Come see what Marshmallow gave me. They’re so exquisite. I’ve never seen anything this interesting in my whole life.”She was exaggerating a little. Since she liked me, she loved my gift.Nevertheless, I did put a lot of thought into them. I found them interesting and exquisite too.At that moment, Zach finally finished his phone call and walked in. Eloise waved him over. “Come here, Zach. Look at the gift your wife gave me. She’s so thoughtful.”Eloise put extra emphasis on “your wife,” and I noticed Cecilia’s eyebrows twitch. It looked like she was slightly upset.This was just the start, and she was already getting upset?Zach glanced at the gift and nodded. “I’m glad you like them, Grandma.”“By the way, Cassia hurt her leg earlier. Take her upstairs and help her put on some ointment.”“Mdm. Gordon, I’ll h

I was learning to, even though it was hard.Zach came over with the first aid kit and took out some rubbing alcohol. The smell was strong, and it made my stomach churn.I grabbed his hand. “Don’t use rubbing alcohol.”“You have a bruise. It’ll help.”“I don’t need it.”“If you’re afraid of the pain, it won’t heal properly.” He poured some into his hand and started rubbing it on my knee.I looked at his dark hair and thought, ‘I might throw up on you soon.’Zach was pressing hard. It did not hurt too much at first, but the more he rubbed, the more unbearable it felt.I gasped. “Zach, come on. It hurts so much. Am I your punching bag?”“Just hang in there for a few more minutes.”“I can’t last even a second.” I pushed him away. My leg hurt, but that was not the main problem. My stomach was churning so much that I felt like I was going to throw up.I ran into the bathroom. Then, I bent over the toilet and threw up everything I had eaten for afternoon tea.My stomach felt bette

I sat next to Eloise at the party, and Zach sat beside me.With his five brothers and their wives, there was not enough space for everyone at one table.Zach was the youngest, but he had a spot at the main table because Eloise adored me.Cecilia was not able to sit with us. She was at another table with Sophie and Austin. So, she could only keep glancing back at us.Eloise gently squeezed my hand. “Marshmallow.”“Hmm?” I was busy enjoying some spicy crab that the Gordon family’s chef had made. I had been craving spicy food for days, so I was enjoying it.Eloise leaned in and whispered, “Silly girl, don’t just eat. Watch your husband. Another woman has her eyes on him. Once she’s ready, she’ll try to take him from you.”I wanted to tell her that Zach had already been taken.With a crab claw in my mouth, I smiled at Eloise. “It’s fine.”“You’re so relaxed.” Eloise tapped on Zach’s plate with her fork. “You should peel some shrimp and crab for your wife. She shouldn’t have to do

Sophie hugged Eloise and gave her a peck on the cheek. “Let me kiss your smooth little face.”Eloise laughed and playfully patted Sophie on the hip. “You little troublemaker. Still no boyfriend?”“My boyfriend hasn’t even been born yet! Mdm. Gordon, don’t you know that the younger the guy, the higher my value is?”“Ha! You’ll be over 40 by the time you find one, then.” Eloise was amused, and she turned to my aunt. “Aren’t you going to control your daughter? She’s always acting so silly.”It was getting late, and Eloise needed to rest. Cecilia looked a bit drunk and swayed as she stood.“I’ll take her home,” Zach said.Eloise frowned. “You don’t have to. Her parents are here. Let them take her home. You’ve been drinking as well, so you’re staying here with Cassia tonight.”Cecilia clung to Eloise’s arm and sweetly said, “Mdm. Gordon, I’m so happy because it’s your birthday!”“Why are you happy about my birthday? As long as you live well, you’ll reach 80 too.” Eloise tried to pul

I did not hear what Mary said to Zach after that, and I did not care to know.I submerged myself completely in the water. I could hold my breath for a long time. Once, I managed forty seconds and almost passed out. This time, I lost track of how long I stayed under. Just when I thought I might run out of oxygen, I came up and gasped for air.When I stepped out of the bathroom, Mrs. Watson was changing our sheets. She replaced the bright ones with white sheets that had a rose pattern. The pattern was subtle and only visible in the light; it looked nice.“You look a bit heavier than when you got married. Are you pregnant?” she said to me.Her comment shocked me. That was just how she spoke, but I felt guilty. “No way. How is that possible?” I replied quickly.She laughed. “You’re newlyweds. Of course it’s possible.”Just then, Zach walked in, and Mrs. Watson stopped talking.She left after she finished changing the sheets. However, she had also swapped out the two individual p

In the small area outside the room, I found a mini fridge filled with sausages and eggs. I also discovered some instant noodles, so I used the electric kettle to cook them.I sneaked into the bathroom to prepare the noodles. Once they were done, I realized that I did not have a bowl, so I used the kettle as my bowl. I pulled out the wooden skewer from a hot dog to use as a fork.With my makeshift meal in hand, I returned to bed. I held the kettle in one hand and my “fork” in the other.I was ready to dig in when the lights came on and illuminated the room.Zach stood at the bedroom door and looked at me. I was holding the kettle, while a piece of noodle was hanging from my mouth.I did not plan on impressing Zach, but my eating situation was less than graceful. He frowned. Compared to his ethereal Cecilia, I looked completely unrefined.“Cassia, what are you doing?”“Is your eyesight that bad?” I continued to eat since he had already seen me.Pregnant women often forgot about

Mary rushed over to check on me. “Cassia, where did you get hit? Does it hurt?”It hurt a lot, and my face was probably twisted in pain.“It doesn’t hurt,” I said through gritted teeth.Eloise stomped her foot. “You silly girl. You can’t take hits like Zach! Why are you protecting him? It makes me so sad to see you like this.”She truly cared for me, and so did Mary. In truth, that was enough for me.Zach was standing by the bed. The wind was blowing the curtains, and sunlight would occasionally shine in his eyes. However, I could not figure out what he was thinking.Eloise continued to question him in frustration, “You still haven’t answered me! Why did you start sleeping in a different bed from Cassia?! If you can’t explain yourself today, you’re not going anywhere!”Feeling upset, Mary said, “Zach, how could you do this? You’re married to Cassia, yet you and Cecilia—”“Grandma, Mom, Cassia’s pregnant. I was worried about hurting her, so I slept separately.” Zach suddenly int

Eloise, Mary, and Zach tagged along as I visited the hospital.The staff gave me a full check-up, including a pregnancy test.Zach planned to ask a doctor to fake my pregnancy. However, he did not know that I was actually pregnant, so there was no need to fake it.They finished my tests while Zach was still on the phone down the hall.The doctor came over and happily told Eloise and Mary the news.“She’s about six weeks along, and the baby is developing well. Her health is great. Come back in three months for regular check-ups. Mdm. Gordon, you’ll be holding your great-grandchild soon.”That made Eloise light up with joy. She quickly told Mary to bring the doctor some food.The doctor was surprised, but he did not refuse her offer.So, Mary sent the driver to pick up some food to share with all the doctors and nurses in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.They were already this excited just to hear that I was pregnant. I could not even imagine how they would act when the

Sophie knocked on my door the next day around 7 a.m.I only managed to fall asleep at about 2 a.m., so I had a bad headache. I sat on the bed as she ran over excitedly and asked, “Are you busy this morning?” “Go away.” I lay down again. “Come to the city hall with me. I’m getting married!”“Why do you need me there? Am I going to breastfeed you?”“You don’t have milk right now.” I was disgusted by our conversation. Rachel sat up from the bed and asked, “Why are you going to the city hall?”“To get married.”“Shouldn’t you be going to a church for that? There’s supposed to be a priest with a bible that asks if you’re willing to marry this person next to you regardless of… something?”“That’s a religious wedding. Besides, it has to be lawful. What we’re doing today is the legal side of things.” Sophie carried Rachel up from the bed. “Do you want to be a witness to our marriage?” “Yay, sure!” Rachel immediately beamed and agreed. “I want to be the priest who holds the bibl

Cecilia had no shame at all. I would be speechless if this worked on Zach. After a while, she walked out dejectedly with her flowers. It seemed like she did not even manage to enter his office. She stood there in annoyance for a while before she suddenly looked over in my direction. I could see her, but she might not be able to see me. I was on a high floor, and the sun was blinding. Right then, Hailey gave me a call. I knew that she wanted to rant about Cecilia. Sure enough, Hailey started to complain, “Ms. Freeman, Cecilia is really shameless. I’ve never seen such a shameless woman. When Mr. Gordon was cut off from Gordon Corporation, she abandoned him immediately. Now that she knows he’s going to be Gordon Corporation’s acting CEO, she instantly starts visiting him again. I really can’t stand her.” “Hasn’t she always been like this?” I was unfazed. “Fortunately, Mr. Gordon is not willing to see her.” Hailey sounded relieved. “Do you really think he won’t see her fo

I looked at Austin’s pale face, and I was at a loss for words. His argument was reasonable, and I had no way to refute it. I was upset, but I could not cry. I felt a heavy feeling in my chest, and I found it hard to breathe. He looked at me and suddenly smiled. “Look at your face. Have I ever said that I liked Sophie? I don’t like girls like her. I prefer girls like you who are smart, beautiful, and decisive. Why don’t you marry me after you give birth to your babies?”I did not want to joke around with him. It was not funny.After that, Lucy exited the bridal shop and got into the backseat of the car. I stood in front of the bridal shop and watched as his car disappeared into the corner. “Cassia,” Sophie called out to me. I turned around. “What?”“Whose side are you on? I realize you’ve been extra nice to Austin recently. Have you forgotten that he’s a jerk?”“Watch your mouth.”I got into my car unhappily. “I’ll make a move first.”“Aren’t we having dinner together to

I knew that he was looking at the photos of him and Sophie in her wedding gown. Perhaps this would be the only time in his entire life that he could stand next to Sophie while she was dressed in a wedding gown. I felt the waterworks coming. When I tried to look for tissue papers in my bag, Zach called me. He sounded a bit excited. “Cassia, there’s this person overseas who has the same blood type as Austin. He has ALS, which is a fatal motor neuron disease. His family has already signed an organ donation form for him, and his condition recently worsened. He may pass in a month’s time, so I got in contact with them. His family has agreed to donate his heart to Austin.” “Really?” It was good news, and I almost leaped in joy. I glanced at Austin excitedly. He was staring intently at his phone, so he did not notice me. “Does Austin have to leave immediately?”“It’s still early. We can leave when the donor’s condition worsens.” I estimated the time. Zach said that it would ta

Sophie could easily start a fight wherever she went. I immediately went over and saw that Austin’s forehead had turned red. It seemed to be getting swollen. I kicked Sophie in anger. “Is there something wrong with you? What are you doing?” “Why did you kick me? Didn’t you hear what he just said?”Austin bent down and picked up Sophie’s phone for her. “Luckily, your phone screen isn’t cracked. It’s fine if my skull is cracked; it can heal.” Sophie took her phone, and it immediately unlocked due to face ID. Her wallpaper was a photo of Kingston and her. She had just changed the wallpaper yesterday. It used to be a photo of me and her. Austin was the one who had taken that photo. Even though Austin was not directly in the photo, it felt like it was a photo of the three of us. He must have noticed it. He smiled and said, “I’ll make a move. Tell Lucy I’ll be waiting for her in the car.” Austin walked out of the bridal shop, and Sophie looked dispirited. “I was quite happy, bu

“You’re getting married too?”“I’ll be your best man or maid of honor. What? You’re too cheap to pay for the outfits?”“You, my best man?”“Look around you. Are there any single people left?”Sophie rolled her eyes. “Hah, I wasn’t planning on inviting you.”Kingston tried to shake Austin’s hand, but Austin ignored him. Sophie got mad and pulled Kingston away. “Don’t pay attention to him. He thinks he’s too good for anyone. He’s crazy.”“Sophie,” I warned.“What? He’s always acting crazy!” she yelled.I was not sure if Austin really wanted to be Sophie’s best man, or if it was just an excuse to come here.Anyway, Austin went to change too. I could not tell the difference between the best man’s and groom’s outfits. However, the difference between the bridesmaid and bride was clear.While Sophie was posing in front of the mirror in her wedding dress, Austin came out of the fitting room.Austin was very thin, and the suit hung loosely on him, but it still looked good.He had a

Sophie’s wedding preparations were progressing quickly. She limped to work in the mornings and dragged me along in the afternoons to buy wedding stuff.I felt like the wedding was just an excuse for her to go shopping.“This afternoon, Kingston and I are trying on our wedding outfits. You should come too.”“It’s your wedding. Why should I come?”“To help me choose! I look good in everything, so it’s hard to pick.”“If it’s that hard, just buy them all. Aren’t you rich?”“Why are you so grouchy?” She leaned closer and observed me. “Cassia, are your hormones off balance?”“I’m pregnant, so everything’s a mess right now.”After some thought, I called Austin and told him, “Sophie’s trying on wedding dresses this afternoon.”“Okay,” he replied in his usual lifeless tone.“Aren’t you going to say anything to her?”“Don’t eat too much. The wedding dress will be a pain to alter.”I was so angry that I hung up. He was so stubborn. I was sure that he would regret it and cry later.M

Austin was the weakest among us when we were kids. He could not climb trees, run, or do anything physically demanding. Instead, he would play board games and puzzles with us.Sophie always thought that he was smart, and she admired him.I never imagined that someone I grew up with might die so soon.“You should leave,” he said weakly. “She should be done by now.”“Austin.” I wanted to say something more, but he turned his back to me.He did not want to listen, so I had no choice but to leave.As I reached the door, I heard him say, “Actually, this is a good thing.”Was he saying that Sophie marrying Kingston was a good thing?What was good about it?I felt like grabbing Sophie over. I wanted to point at the dying man in bed and say, “This guy loves you more than you know. He helped you test Kingston’s character. He thinks about you all the time. He comes to see you every night using his half-sister as an excuse, but he’s dying. He doesn’t want you to be sad, so he plans to die

“I just went for a checkup.” Austin walked over to me. “Why are you sweating so much?”He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and gave it to me. Honestly, only Austin would still carry a handkerchief in his condition.I wiped my sweat. “I came with Sophie to get her cast off, and I thought I’d stop by to see you.”“Get her cast off? I thought that wasn’t until next month?”“She insisted on getting it off today. The doctor checked, and her bone is healing well, so it’s fine for her to take it off.”“When did she start caring so much about her looks?” Austin walked back to his room, and I followed him.He sat down and seemed a little out of breath. I had already asked the doctor about him. Austin could not engage in any physical activity; he could not even walk fast.I was about to pour him some water, but he waved me off. “Don’t bother. I’m not thirsty. How could I let you take care of me? I might be a patient, but you’re pregnant.”At least, he could still joke. If I were him
