I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 118
“Oh yeah, Zach’s the youngest. No wonder he feels so anxious.”“Did you just figure that out?”“That’s why his dad doesn’t care about his kids starting their own businesses outside Gordon Corporation. He wants to see which of them has what it takes to take over the family company.”“Don’t talk like it’s some royal thing.”“Isn’t it kind of like that?”I understood why Zach felt anxious, but he should not be poaching my people.I fell asleep with the face mask on. Sophie helped me take it off some time later, and she washed my face.I was so tired that I pushed her away a few times. “Leave me alone.”“Who’s trying to bother you? You’ll get breakouts if you sleep with a mask on.”“It doesn’t matter. I’m naturally beautiful, so I’m not worried about it.”“You’re pregnant. Aren’t you worried about getting uglier?”Her comment hit me hard. I kept my eyes closed and allowed her to do her thing.In the morning, I felt something cold snuggling into my arms while I was still half as

I took Rachel downstairs for breakfast, and Mrs. Ziegler was already busy in the kitchen.Rachel wanted a teriyaki chicken burger, so she carefully checked the teriyaki sauce for allergens.Sophie was eating some prosciutto for breakfast, which was a unique choice.She leaned over. “Hey, Cassia, why are your eyes red?”“It’s none of your business. Do you have time this afternoon?”“To do what?”“Take Rachel to the marine park.”“Really?” Sophie was even more excited than Rachel. “I haven’t been there in so long! Are you going?”“I don’t trust you to take her by yourself, so I’m tagging along.”Rachel’s teriyaki chicken burger was served, and she focused hard on eating it. I patted her on the head and asked, “Are you excited about going to the marine park this afternoon?”She looked up and said, “Cassia, you’re going to spoil me.”Rachel was a mix of a clever little imp and a fairy. After she finished her breakfast, she thanked Mrs. Ziegler sweetly, “Thank you! Your cooking i

Rachel held my hand as we walked away from Cecilia. It was rare for her to be so warm toward someone who gave her the cold shoulder.In the elevator, I said to Zach, “Sign the project with Ridgeway Corporation later.”He looked at me and smiled, which made me feel uncomfortable. “Is Cameron dropping by later?”“Didn’t you talk to him enough last night?”We had parted on bad terms, and the atmosphere in the elevator was awkward.Rachel looked up at Zach and touched his finger. “Hey, you should be nicer to Cassia.”He looked interested. “Why is that?”“Because after she has a baby, God might take her to heaven. Cassia’s a good person.”Zach crouched down in front of her. “Why do you think that?”“Because God took my mom to heaven too.”Zach smiled and held Rachel’s small hand. “Don’t worry. Cassia is staying.”Before we got to the office, I had asked Hailey to buy some Lego for Rachel to play with. She loved building with Lego and could do it for hours.Right before we entere

After a quick chat with Cameron about our partnership, we just needed Mr. Howard to come to West City and sign the contract. Right then, Zach knocked on the door.He smiled as he opened the door. “Mr. Quinlan, we can go now.”“Go where?” I asked right away.“To Cameron Hill,” Zach replied with a smile. “It might be a bumpy ride, so you might want to stay behind.”“As far as I know, Yonder Trading isn’t involved in real estate development yet.”He smiled mysteriously at me and walked out.Cameron seemed really interested in that mountain. It was at a good location, and it had great landscape. Nonetheless, only a strong company would have the courage to take on this project.I could not stop Cameron from going. He had asked me to watch Rachel.She was too busy playing with her Lego to pay attention to him. Cameron gave his daughter a kiss and left.That mountain had a lot of potential. If Cameron Hill was developed, the excavation, construction, and engineering companies worki

“Okay, let’s have some fun.”I had not visited the marine park in a long time, and it felt very different to come with a child.I held Rachel’s hand and ran ahead. It was a hot day, and Cecilia was slowly trailing behind with a sun umbrella.I should have known better than to bring her along. She was just slowing us down.Kids loved amusement parks. I took Rachel on the giant octopus ride and the spinning coffee cups, which almost made me throw up.Rachel was so happy that she laughed out loud. Most of the time, I found her to be too much like Cameron—too reserved and not very playful. However, she was just a happy child at this moment.After a while, Rachel said that she was thirsty. I had water for her, but she wanted something colorful. After some thought, I asked Cecilia to keep an eye on Rachel while I bought her some juice.When I got back to our resting spot with the juice, I could not find Cecilia or Rachel anywhere.I figured that they must have gone to the restroom.

I acted fast and gave it my all.I slapped Cecilia so hard that she spun around and fell onto the couch.She was stunned. If I had not been tired and scared from the search earlier, I would have slapped her even harder.It was strange how things would always happen. Every time I got angry and acted out, Zach would catch me at my worst. This time was no different.He and Cameron walked into the medical station just in time to see me slapping the “helpless” Cecilia.One slap and I practically had her flying and landing on the couch. Her hair was all over her face.“Cassia!” Zach rushed over and pulled me back. I snapped. “Let me go, or else, I’ll hit you too!”He did not have time for me and went to check on his precious Cecilia.She was too stunned to move. I stood there and snorted. “One slap shouldn’t have knocked her out like that.”Cameron picked Rachel up, who softly explained what happened. “Cassia went to get some juice for me and told me to wait for her, but she…” R

After that scare, I was really hungry. While Cameron and Rachel were playing, I bought a bunch of snacks. I ate as I watched them have fun.When they came back, I gave Rachel some fries and pizza. It was her first time trying them.“They’re delicious.” Seeing her bright eyes made me kiss her cheek.I noticed Cameron looking at me with even more interest. I touched my mouth and asked, “Do I have chip crumbs on my lips?”He chuckled. “No, but you have some mayonnaise there.” He wiped it off with a tissue. “I’ve never seen you so fierce before.”He was talking about the time I slapped Cecilia. If she had done something worse, I would have really hurt her.“You and Zach…” Cameron hesitated. He felt a bit awkward asking about our private matters.“Hmm?”“You two don’t seem as close as you did when you visited Spain the last time.”Even Cameron could tell. I did not want to hide it anymore.After I swallowed the pizza, I said, “Zach and I are divorced.”Cameron looked surprised. “

Zach had returned.I knew that he was there for Cameron, not me.He was worried that I might take Cameron and Rachel somewhere else. He had not settled his partnership with Cameron after all.He said that Cameron was a businessman, but he was one too.I stayed put as Zach walked toward me under the bright fireworks.It reminded me of our wedding day. He had walked toward me under bright fireworks too. Everything he said that day was a lie.I could not even remember his exact words. It was almost like I had chosen to forget them. Perhaps that was better since they were just lies. Why should I remember them?When he reached me, I looked up and asked, “Is Cecilia dead?”He just stared at me as the fireworks were reflected in his eyes. They turned his eyes red and green.He did not answer, but the colors in his eyes were almost overwhelming.On a night like this, violence felt like the right choice.“While Cameron isn’t watching, you still have a chance to avenge her,” I sai

“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

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
