I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 132
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.

Zach was representing Gordon Corporation’s real estate arm in his business dealing with Cameron. It had nothing to do with Yonder Trading. As expected, Yonder Trading was not his priority. To him, it was just a medium-sized trading company. He no longer needed Yonder Trading since he was doing well in one of Gordon Corporation’s business divisions. Yonder Trading was not important to him anymore. However, he had not given up on Yonder Trading entirely as it still benefited him, just like me. I had no one else to blame. I was the one who insisted on setting up this company to support Gordon Corporation’s subdivision. I could only continue doing that at this point. After dinner, I returned to our bedroom. Zach followed me into the room and shut the door. I knew that he had something to say to me. I had already prepared myself to fight him if he dared to harm me. I grabbed an ashtray behind my back. He could see it in my eyes that I was on guard, and he stood before me. “Cassi

It was very easy to convince Eloise and Mary. As long as it might endanger the baby, they would not proceed with it despite their curiosity. After they chatted for a while, Eloise and Mary left happily. They told me to get some good rest and that I should be even more careful since I might be having twins. They were already so confident about it even though it was just a speculation. I was furious when they left. Zach looked too at ease as if it had nothing to do with him. I questioned him, “Are you happy now that you’ve made things worse?” “I only see you enjoying yourself, so I might as well double your ‘happiness.’”We were staring at each other. He had a playful look in his eyes. I knew that he did not like to be forced into a corner. He had expected me to fully cooperate with him on faking the pregnancy and undoing the lie. I refused to follow his plan, and it angered him. However, he might not be the biggest winner in the end. In the end, I took a shower and la

The auction had begun. To my surprise, Levine’s paintings were not the last to be auctioned. Was there something even more expensive than that? Levine was great at painting scenery and portraits. The painting that was being auctioned this time had both elements in it. I had been wanting to collect this painting for a long time, but it was not cheap. We were mandated to increase the price by a hundred thousand dollars every time we bid for it. Actually, an auction was just a psychological game. If you played the game right, you would be able to get what you wanted at a cheaper price. Hence, I would not raise my sign for the things I wanted at first. Levine’s painting was usually quite popular. A few buyers were trying to outbid one another. With the increasing price, some people dropped out of the bid. It was currently at three million dollars. Some people raised the price on purpose, one of them being a fat man sitting opposite me. He kept raising his sign, and I met his

Cecilia was slowly washing her hands next to me. “Congrats, Cassia. You got the painting you wanted at such a high price. That’s almost double its three-million-dollar market price,” she said emotionlessly. However, I could tell that she was a bit jealous. She was also delighted because she thought that I had suffered a loss. I shook my hands dry and happily said, “I had no choice. Mary dotes on me.” The water got onto her, and she took a few steps back. “Cassia, you’re so rude.” “No, I’m not.” I wiped my hands with a paper towel as I smiled. “You and Zach are divorced!” “Yes, but I’m pregnant.” I caressed my lower abdomen. She did not even look at my tummy when she sneered. “Don’t forget you’re just faking it. That will never happen!” “You might be wrong.” I walked past her and bumped into her shoulder. She was furious as she followed closely behind. “Cassia, I can tear your lie apart at any given moment. Do you know how immoral you are? You’re playing with their fee

The second half of the auction started, and the first item was an antique that I did not care about. I kept looking at the picture that I had taken of the painting by Levine. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it.Zach noticed and casually said, “You’ll be taking it home soon. Isn’t it better to see the real thing?”“I could look at something I like a thousand times and still want more.”When they began auctioning the crown, I finally looked up. The host spoke excitedly about the history of this rare treasure.His voice was annoying, so I covered one ear with my finger and muttered, “Whose is it? The wife of Henry II? Isn’t that the one who got executed? That thing is bad luck.”“The one who got executed was Louis XVI,” Zach corrected me.“Isn’t Louis XVI a type of brandy?”“That’s Louis XIII.” He looked at me like I was stupid.“Wait, which Henry is he talking about? Why is he suddenly talking about Charles IX? Isn’t that guy from a children’s sci-fi novel?” That book w

“It’s time to raise the paddle,” Zach reminded me.No. It was time to pull back.I suddenly frowned and held on to his wrist tightly. He looked at me in confusion. “What’s wrong?”“My stomach hurts.” I leaned against him and used this opportunity to press down the paddle in his hand.The host then announced, “Eighty-two million, going twice!”Mary noticed that something was off and turned to me. “Cassia? What’s wrong?”Amid the chaos, the host hit the gavel and declared, “Congratulations to the gentleman in seat 17 for winning this rare crown for eighty-two million!”I readjusted my posture and sighed. “I’m fine, Mary. My leg just cramped up all of a sudden. It’s better now.”Mary relaxed a little. “That’s good. Pregnant women often get leg cramps. I’ll ask the nutritionist to adjust your meals and add more calcium. That should help.”“Thanks, Mary.”Mary straightened up and realized that someone had bought the crown. Her expression changed. “What happened?”Zach glanced at

There was a big party after the auction, and my stomach was already growling. Since I was feeling great, I planned on eating a lot.However, the venue was a little stuffy, so I took some food to the terrace outside.It could have been due to my good mood, but I thought that the food tasted amazing. While I enjoyed my meal, I suddenly heard some muffled voices from the garden.It sounded like an upset woman was arguing with someone. “What’s wrong with you? Is this how you do your job? Don’t you have any sense? I never told you to bid on that!”Oh, it was Cecilia talking to the skinny guy. It looked like she did not want to accept responsibility for what had happened.This was too interesting to miss!I sneaked off the terrace with my plate and followed their voices. Then, I found Cecilia and the skinny guy deep in the garden.She was trying to keep her cool, but she appeared worried and frustrated. She also sounded desperate. “I don’t care. You need to figure this out!”“How am

“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
