I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 110
There was a crystal ashtray on the desk. I had to fight the urge to smash it on Zach’s head.“Zach, you’re not going to push all the blame of this on me, are you?”“Well, you’re the one who brought up the divorce.” He laughed as he turned away. “So, when you don’t have a backup plan, it’s better not to act on impulse.”He walked toward the door, and I saw the pink scarf at the door disappear.I felt really frustrated. “I didn’t act on impulse! Zach, I’ve thought this through! I don’t love you anymore!”He held the doorknob. As he opened the door, he smiled at me over his shoulder.His smile seemed to say that I was just putting on a tough act.Zach left, and the door clicked shut behind him.Fine.The words “I don’t love you anymore” were not completely true. It was still too soon for me to move on.Imagine having loved someone for ten years. You would not be able to just forget it after a few hours of telling yourself to move on during a quiet night.Reason might tell me to

I let her in, and sure enough, she walked over with a charming smile. It was so sweet that it felt like candy had spilled everywhere.“Mrs. Gordon, you’re here,” she said softly. “Perfect timing! I ordered your favorite lavender cake, and it just arrived. You should try it.”Cecilia was great at making people feel good. She knew how to read the room. Whenever she wanted to befriend someone, she would flatter them until they were delighted.She brought over a nice paper box and placed it in front of Mary. Then, she sat next to her. “Mrs. Gordon, try this and see if you like it.”Mary smiled politely and pushed the box toward me. “Cassia, you try it for me. I haven’t been eating sweets lately because I don’t want to gain weight. My waist is getting bigger.”Cecilia’s smile became a little awkward, but she still remained sweet. “Oh my, look at all this food! Mrs. Zara’s cooking is amazing. I sometimes crave her dishes.”“Oh my, I only brought two sets of utensils. Why don’t you go g

Cameron and I had stayed in touch. We would occasionally have video calls, and we got along well. He was divorced, and he had a lively six-year-old daughter.I asked Hailey to get a doll for her. It was made just for this little girl, and I liked the princess dress so much that I knew she would love it even more.Then, I asked the driver to take me to the airport. When I walked in holding the big doll, I was surprised to see Zach and Cecilia at the arrival gate.Was I seeing things? What were they doing there?Cecilia was also holding a doll, and she smiled smugly when she saw me.D*mn it, Hailey. She told me that she had firsthand information.At this point, I had to approach them. “Hey, Cassia! What are you doing here? Who are you picking up?” Cecilia said.“Take a guess.” I did not want to talk to her.Zach stood next to me with a calm smile. Suddenly, he leaned in and whispered, “You received the right information. Cameron changed his flight three times, and you got the e

I nudged Cecilia aside with my hip and sat next to Rachel.Zach took the front seat, while Cameron and I sat on either side of Rachel.The car could only fit five people. As such, Cecilia had to use another car so that the driver could do his job.I could tell that Rachel did not like her. Kids could sense certain things. They would not be fooled like adults.Cecilia was reluctant, but she had no choice.Even though Zach probably wanted to get out and be with her, he could not.If he left, it would give me time to discuss my partnership with Cameron.Rachel loved her doll and hugged it tightly. She looked up at me and said, “Cassia, what should we name her?”“How about ‘Long Hair?’” I suggested.She looked at me. “That’s it?”“Isn’t it a good name?”She smiled and kissed the doll’s head. “Long Hair, you’re so cute.”She accepted the name even though I was not good at naming things.My pets always had simple names. For example, I once had a dog named Mop because of how it

Zach’s sneaky plan was outrageous.There was no way that I would let him win.I leaned back in my seat with my eyes closed and pretended to be in pain.Rachel squeezed my hand and asked, “Cassia, what’s wrong?”“I’m not feeling well.”“Why?”“Because I have a baby in my belly,” I said softly but loud enough for Cameron to hear.Cameron glanced at me. “Are you feeling really bad?”“I can’t sit in the car for too long. I need to lie down.”“If I had known, I wouldn’t have asked you to pick me up.”“If it had only been a short drive from the airport to the office, it would’ve been fine.”I was implying that I did not know Zach would drag us to this random Cameron Hill.My comment was directed at him, and he was smart enough to catch on right away.He quickly turned around and squeezed my hand with concern. “Sorry, Mr. Quinlan. Cassia’s pregnant and not feeling well. We’ll go another time,” he apologized to Cameron.“Sure. We can go another day,” Cameron agreed.I almost fel

Sophie was surprised. “Why? Aren’t you the Gordon family’s priority now? How did you end up without a place to stay?”“Quit that nonsense. I have a kid with me.”“Isn’t the baby still in your belly?”“She’s six years old.”“Wow, she’s grown fast!”I did not waste time chatting and told her to go home right away.Rachel was already very tired. She was only six, after all. She fell asleep as she leaned on me in the car.When we reached Sophie’s house, she was not home yet. Nevertheless, my aunt was happy to see me. “Cassia, you’re here! Sophie called earlier but didn’t explain much. Oh, who’s this pretty little girl?”“Aunt Lauren, we’ll be staying here for a few days.”Lauren followed me. “Of course, of course! Mr. Ziegler, Mrs. Ziegler, please get a guest room ready and make the bed.”The driver then carried the sleeping Rachel inside. After all that running around, my back was hurting.I followed them upstairs while I held my back. Mrs. Ziegler had made the bed, and the dri

Lauren hit Sophie on the head. “You brat. Can’t you eat a little less? Cassia’s pregnant, and it’s not easy for her to find foods that she likes.”Sophie rubbed her head and kept trying to grab more pulled pork from me. “When did we get to the point where we can’t even afford pulled pork?”Mrs. Ziegler smiled as she watched us. “There are still enough ingredients in the fridge. I’ll make another batch. These kids have been stealing food from each other since they were little.”Yes, Sophie and I had been competing for food for over twenty years.Rachel woke up and came down the stairs without shoes. Her hair was messy, and she was crying.I rushed over with food still in my mouth and kneeled down in front of her. “Don’t cry. I’m here.”She touched my face. “What’s that smell, Cassia?”“It’s pulled pork. Do you want to try some?”“I’ve never had it.” She shook her head.Since she was not allergic to pork, I thought that it would be fine to let her try some. I picked her up and

After I cursed Zach in my head a thousand times, I got up to change my clothes.Sophie hugged her pillow and looked at me. “Where are you going?”“Zach’s coming to pick me up soon.”“Are you out of your mind?”“I’m not. He took Cameron to the Gordon family’s mansion. Didn’t you hear?” I felt so frustrated.I could see that Sophie was about to curse.I did not waste any more time with her and changed my clothes before heading to Rachel’s room.Just then, Lauren stepped out of Rachel’s room with a proud look. “I finally got her to sleep. I’m really good at babysitting, aren’t I? Cassia, if you need help after your baby is born—”“Mom, stop. Cassia’s baby is precious. You won’t be taking care of it.”I hurried into Rachel’s room. She was fast asleep, and I did not want to wake her up.“She looks so peaceful. Moving her would not be convenient.” Sophie leaned on me. “Are you really going to take her back home because Zach said so?”Sophie was right. I could just tell Cameron tha

“Do you want to talk to Sophie?” I asked, even though I knew he would not say anything nice.As expected, he wore the usual mocking smile. “Talk to that idiot? No thanks.”He hung up, and the screen went black.I was so mad that I felt like my heart might stop. Austin never got angry or showed big emotions, but his calm sarcasm was enough to drive anyone crazy.Just then, Sophie ran over and held out her hand. She was sweating and out of breath. “Where’s Rachel’s water bottle? She’s thirsty.”I gave it to her, and she asked, “Who were you talking to?”“An idiot,” I replied.“Oh.” She ran off again without giving it a second thought.We ended up playing there until sundown. Rachel was all sweaty, so I helped her change in the car. Although it was already spring, it was still a little chilly without the sun.We headed home and invited Kingston to join us for dinner.He gave Sophie the mechanical kite. Our garden was big, so she could fly it anytime.We did not usually have gue

“Let Bob go. Tell Zach to hang the thermos on its neck.”“Isn’t that a bit much?”“He told me that if I didn’t drink his soup, Bob could have it. So, what’s the problem with letting Bob fetch it?”Mrs. Gibson walked away with a troubled expression, and I continued building the sandcastle.Rachel suddenly looked up and asked, “Cassia, don’t you like that guy anymore?”“I don’t like him anymore,” I said.“Is he bad?”“He’s not bad. I just don’t like him anymore.”“You can like my dad, then. He’s handsome, and he knows how to make cheese pizza.”Well, my standards were a little higher than someone who could make cheese pizza.I was not sure what happened to Zach’s soup because I never saw it. His cooking was not that great, and we already had good cooks at home. Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Ziegler, and Mrs. Harrison made amazing soups. They were from different places, so I got to try food from all over.As such, Zach’s soup was not needed.I never thought there would come a day when I

“When did your head get so square?” I looked at the metal block for a while, but I could not see how it resembled Sophie.“This robot doesn’t have to look like me. The important part is its core. It can follow my commands, and Kingston said he’ll add my voice to it later.”“What can it do? A two-hundred-dollar smart box can already do things like turn lights on and off or flush the toilet.”“Tch, this is different. Apart from following my commands, it can also read my emotions. It’ll then play the appropriate music to improve my mood.”That sounded interesting. “It should be a mood helper instead of a robot.”“Kingston also mentioned that it has a special function if I get really upset.”“Will it explode into fireworks?”“Tch.” She rolled her eyes and hugged the robot. “I don’t know. He didn’t say.”Sophie seemed to like the gift.However, Kingston did not really give it to her because she was fond of it. He just happened to study this stuff.I was incredibly tired, so I turn

“I think it’s great that he has his own principles. A lot of people today don’t have any,” Sophie interjected.It was time to change the subject. Everyone had their own views on such things anyway.“Let’s toast to those with principles,” I said to Rachel.She raised her juice cup in response. “Cheers!”“Alright, cheers.” Oscar and Ellie smiled as they clinked glasses with us.We finished eating, and Sophie had two glasses of wine. I did not allow her to have more. Kingston finally returned as well.He was not full, so he ate the leftovers.Sophie asked him how things went, and he looked up in confusion. “The head of the company whose tech was stolen came too. He claimed that it wasn’t their tech, but they’re working on something similar. He kept promoting it.”“What happened after that?”“Nothing. The police just let those two individuals go.” Kingston shook his head and went back to eating.The whole thing seemed strange. I thought about it, but I could not put my finger on

After a while, Kingston came downstairs. He looked upset, so Sophie asked, “What’s wrong?”“Two people visited the company today to discuss a deal. They offered a high price,” Kingston said.“Isn’t that good?”“At first, I thought so too. But as we talked, something felt off. They brought some tech for the collaboration, but I realized that another company had just created it. They might have stolen it.”“How can they steal someone else’s stuff?”“There are lots of ways.” Kingston peeled an orange and gave half to Sophie before eating the rest himself. “I turned them down, but they kept trying to rope me in.”“Would that tech be useful to you?” I asked.“Of course. It would save us at least a month of work.”Sophie’s eyes lit up as she looked at him. Just then, Ellie brought over a plate of fruit and teased, “Kingston’s too stubborn. If he were a bit more flexible, he’d be super successful by now.”“A gentleman earns money the right way.” Kingston’s stubbornness was somehow

Actually, Oscar did some of the cooking too. He was wearing a blue and white checkered apron, on which Ellie had tied a bow. He looked more adorable than he usually did in the office.We gave him our gifts, and Rachel handed him a lollipop. “This is made with xylitol. It won’t give you diabetes.”Oscar and Ellie laughed so hard that they could barely open their eyes. Ellie kept saying, “Wow, this little girl is so pretty.”“This must be Mr. Quinlan’s child,” Oscar said.“Yeah. She’s staying with me for a while.” I then told Sophie to help Rachel with washing her hands. Ellie was already asking the housekeeper to bring us some snacks and fruits. Oscar invited me to have a seat. “Cassia, I finally understand why your dad values you so much. You’re not only skillful, but you’re also charming. Even the little ones like you.”I was flattered by his compliments.After that, he made his way back to the kitchen. “Cassia, Sophie, have some fruit. I’ll make a few of my signature dishes f

Zach greeted Oliver, but I had to give him a kick. Only then did he stand up and nod at Zach. “Hi.”After that, he sat back down.The Freeman family had viewed Zach as the enemy for a while. But recently, things had gotten better. After Gordon Corporation started working with our company, Sophie saw Zach more often. As such, her attitude toward him was not as hostile as before.“I brought some clients here for breakfast. They’ve never had an authentic American breakfast,” Zach added.“The food here is good. You made the right decision in bringing them here.”“Alright, enjoy your meal.” He was about to leave, but I remembered something. “Your thermos… I figured that you wouldn’t mind, so I gave it to Mrs. Gibson. Also, I didn’t drink your soup. Don’t send any more next time. All that grease just clogs up the drain.”He just smiled and returned to his table.“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Sophie said between bites. “Zach seems to be treating you the same way he treated Cecilia back then. He’s b
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 427
It was rare for Mrs. Gibson to praise Zach. Anyway, I handed her the thermos. “Pour it out. If he brings soup again, don’t accept it.”“It’s such good soup. What a waste!”“Don’t give it to Bob. It’s too greasy for a dog, and it might upset its stomach. If you’re fine with it, you can have it. Otherwise, just pour it out.”It was not that I did not appreciate Zach’s kindness. But I had already told him that it was pointless.Whether he made it for me or the babies, it would not change anything.He claimed that it was something he wanted to do, but I had made my opinions clear. Eventually, Sophie picked out a gift. She brought down a big vase and smiled brightly. “I’ll wrap it up nicely later. It’ll look really classy.”Mrs. Gibson got excited when she saw the vase. “Do you like it, Ms. Freeman? I have two more in my room. Would you like one?”Sophie froze. “You have more? Cassia, is your family that rich? Isn’t this an antique?”“Well, it looks like one. The ceramic store beh

After I got pregnant, I somehow became popular; everyone wanted to date me.I watched as Cameron and Mr. Pepper drove away. When I turned around, I was startled to see Sophie behind me. She was holding Rachel’s hand, and they were both wearing SpongeBob pajamas. They looked like two little girls in kindergarten.“Why are you sneaking up on me? Are you trying to scare me?” I clutched my chest.“You haven’t done anything wrong, so why are you scared?” Sophie picked Rachel up. “Is Cameron gone?”“Yeah.”“What did he mean by ‘second in line?’”I shot her a look. “Help Rachel with her bath. Stop asking so many questions.”It was Oscar’s birthday today, and he had invited us to dinner. It would be a casual gathering.I decided to take Rachel out for breakfast and buy a gift for him at the mall.Older men were easy to gift. Ties, belts, and wallets were suitable, but I wanted something more unique. So, I thought about what Oscar would like.I wandered around the study and noticed my
