I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 125
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

Some men loved to show off their charm all the time. When Lance smiled, he was definitely attractive.Too bad he was interested in the wrong person.As Sophie kneaded the dough, she glanced at him and said, “Don’t waste your efforts. You’re not Cassia’s type. Her heart is with someone else.”“What about you?” Lance smiled as he took a sip of his wine. I had to admit that handsome men looked good even when they were drinking.Sophie slammed the dough on the counter, which made a loud noise. “You’re imagining things.”He really was imagining things. I pulled Lance out of the kitchen and said, “Sophie doesn’t like people bothering her while she’s making desserts.”“Aren’t you around?”“I’m different. We’ve been together since we were born.” I did not want to talk to him anymore, so I looked for Austin.I searched the whole house and finally found the birthday boy in his room. He was lounging in his chair and staring blankly at the garden outside. It was as if the noise from th

I was struggling to find the right words. “I know, but—”“Don’t say ‘but.’” Sophie cut me off.I stared at her in fear.I could not fathom why Austin would do that, but I was not curious to know. I was worried about how Sophie felt. I knew friendships between girls could be fragile.Well, it was not just girls; it was the same with guys. They might seem close, but as soon as a girl got involved, even the strongest friendships could be affected.“S-Sophie…” I stammered.Suddenly, Sophie pushed the tray into my arms and squeezed my arm excitedly. “If Austin kissed you, does that mean he likes girls and not guys?”“Huh?” I was confused.She jumped up in excitement. “That’s awesome!”“Awesome…?” I watched her rush inside and crouch in front of Austin. “Hey, you kissed Cassia. Are you going to kiss me too?”My heart raced, probably more than Sophie’s. I hoped that he would treat us fairly and kiss Sophie too.However, he did not move even after we waited for a long time. Soph

Austin was taken to the emergency room, and we had to wait outside the door.His parents were both out of the country. To be more precise, it was his dad and stepmom. His mom died from depression soon after he was born. I heard that she felt guilty about his heart condition and eventually passed away.Later, Austin’s dad remarried. His stepmom was okay but not very caring since she was not his real mother.We were the only family Austin had.Sophie held me tightly and rested her head on my chest. “Cassia, I’m so scared.”I gently patted her back to comfort her, but I did not know what to say.“I hope he lives. It’s okay if he doesn’t like me or girls. All I want is for him to be okay.” she whispered.I felt sad and wanted to cry, but I could not.Lance looked confused. He did not know that Austin was sick.“He didn’t want to tell you, so just pretend that you don’t know,” I said.Austin had been through a lot. He had several stents in his heart. Sometimes, we would joke tha

Zach sat down next to us and tried to reassure us, “Even though this came out of nowhere, the surgery isn’t too complicated. They only need to remove the collapsed stent and put in a new one.”“The doctor said that a transplant would be better,” Sophie muttered while she leaned on my shoulder. Then, she suddenly looked up at me and asked, “Do you think I could give him half of my heart?”“Are you serious?” Of course, she knew that was not possible. She was just really anxious. But if it were an option, Sophie would probably do it.My stomach growled loudly. I had not eaten all night, and with everything going on, I was starving.Even though I was not focusing on my hunger, my body could not take it anymore.I had even googled if pregnant women got hungry this early. The answers were all over the place and not very helpful.However, I was extremely hungry. I told them that I would go downstairs to grab some food and get Sophie a coffee.Zach insisted on coming with me. We walked

I did not go home, and Austin’s surgery did not take as long as I had anticipated. It ended around 3 a.m.I began to walk over, but Sophie continued to sit there.I gave her a tug, and she said, “Cassia, my legs feel weak.”“Just rest, then.” I walked ahead. The doctor took off his gloves and said reassuringly, “You got him here just in time, and the surgery went well. He’ll wake up once the anesthesia wears off.”I sighed in relief and gave Sophie an “OK” sign.“But…” I always got worried when doctors said “but.” My heart started racing again.“His heart is very weak. If we can find a suitable donor soon, a transplant would be the safest option. We never know when this might happen again. If he’s alone, it could be dangerous.”“I understand, doctor.”Before Sophie could suggest giving half her heart, I covered her mouth. The doctor left, and she pulled my hand away. “Why did you cover my mouth? With modern medicine, anything’s possible!”“Can your heart regenerate? Do you t

“Shush.” I raised my finger to my lips. “Calm down, Mrs. Zimmer. It’s my friend who’s sick in the hospital.” “You have to take care of yourself too.” Mrs. Zimmer glanced at Zach and stopped speaking. However, everyone in the Gordon family knew that I had stayed up late. I immediately fell asleep when I returned to the bedroom. Meanwhile, Zach freshened up before he headed to the office. He thought that he was Superman or Ironman, but in reality, he was not. Who knew when he would collapse from all this work?Just as I was about to pass out, I felt someone moving next to me. They were talking, but I was too tired, so I dozed off. When the noise got louder, I forced my eyes to open. I was then shocked by the sight of many people standing before my bed. Eloise, Zach’s mother, my mother, and the helpers were all there. When they noticed that I was awake, they immediately rushed forward and started talking over one another. “Cassia, you’re pregnant. How could you stay up so

He had asked me to fake a miscarriage, but my pregnancy was not fake. How was I supposed to pretend? Besides, why would I listen to him? When was I ever not in the driver’s seat of my own life? I would definitely not do that. I gave Sophie a call to ask about Austin. She told me that he had regained consciousness. Despite being weak, he was in good condition. After ending the call, I fell asleep. Zach had to be waiting for me or his mother to call him frantically to update him about my condition. However, he would not get that. When he reached home at night, I was eating pasta at the dinner table. It was Mrs. Zimmer’s hometown cuisine, so the dish was incredibly delicious. I was stuffing my face when Mary grabbed Zach by the arm and happily said, “It’s good to be young. Even though she didn’t get a good night’s sleep, she’s already recovered after a nap. Look at her. She has such a great appetite.” “Maybe she’s having twins,” Eloise said unexpectedly. “Look at Cassia.

“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
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 430
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
