“No.” Hayden finished his soup and gathered the bowls and utensils. “Give me a second. I’ll wash them for you.”“That’s not necessary. I’ll take them home. The maid will wash them.”“It won’t take long.” Hayden proceeded to wash the dishes, while I leaned on his desk and played with my phone.It was the weekend, and it felt great not having to think about work.Just then, someone knocked on the door. “Come in,” I said. The door opened, and a beautiful woman stood there.As soon as I saw her, I sensed her strong presence. It was as if she had her own theme music and special effects. The wind behind her even blew her skirt up.I could guess who she was. The name “Yulia Lawson” popped into my mind.“Dr. Smith is washing the dishes,” I told her honestly. “You can wait here for a bit.”“My office is next door. Once Dr. Smith is done, please ask him to see me.” She nodded at me before leaving.She was cool—that was my first impression of her.Hayden returned after he washed the d

Cameron probably had a lot of women around him, but I had never heard him plan to marry any of them.A stepmother meant something different to a child. In fairy tales, the stepmother would often be the villain who caused the princess trouble. As such, it was not surprising for kids to not like their stepmothers.Even though I was curious, I did not ask Rachel what kind of woman Cameron intended to marry. I did not want to upset her.I held her hand and said, “Shall we go out and play?”She eagerly nodded. “I want to ride the giant octopus.”She had become hooked ever since the last time we visited the marine park.“There are places even more fun than the giant octopus.”“Where?”“I’ll take you to a trampoline park, but I can’t play with you. Why don’t I ask Sophie to come play with you?”“Is it really fun?”“Super fun.”As Rachel and I reached the door, I got ready to grab my bag and leave. However, I overheard Mrs. Zaffino talking to Mary, “Mrs. Gordon, Ms. Wilson is outsid

“No, no, of course not. Gordon Corporation is strong and a leader in its field. West City’s growth depends mainly on Gordon Corporation, so there’s no way you can’t afford eighty million. Mrs. Gordon, there was a misunderstanding yesterday, and I’m here to sincerely apologize.” Cecilia raised the crown higher as if she were presenting something precious.Mary looked at the crown emotionlessly.“You think I wanted to buy this crown because it’s worth eighty million? No, it’s not worth that much. Your actions made it that expensive.” Mary snorted. “But my feelings for my daughter-in-law are worth much more than eighty million. Besides, I don’t want something that’s been passed around. I doubt my daughter-in-law would want it either.”Cecilia lowered her head. She probably wanted to throw the crown back at me.She thought that she was being clever. She thought that Mary would be touched and accept the crown. But how could Mary accept such an expensive gift without giving something in

Mrs. Zaffino packed us a box of snacks. I was about to leave with Rachel when Cecilia suddenly started crying.Eloise did not like it when a woman cried for no reason. “Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?” she asked with a frown.“No, Mdm. Gordon. I just feel bad for you and Mrs. Gordon.”“Why would you feel bad for us?” Mary frowned.I stood aside as I held Rachel’s hand and watched Cecilia cry. I knew her well enough to realize that she was about to make a scene.What could she possibly have planned?She thought that I was faking my pregnancy, so she probably wanted to call me out for it.She turned to me with teary eyes and said, “Cassia, Mrs. Gordon and Mdm. Gordon have been so kind to you. Their family cares so much about you. Is this how you repay them?”“Cecilia, leave already!” I needed to take Rachel out, and I did not have time for her drama. She should also stop wasting our time. “Mrs. Zaffino, could you please help Rachel change her shoes?”“Of course.” Mrs.

Tyler quickly came downstairs with a dark expression. He was clearly upset. He glanced at Cecilia before he asked me, “Is this true?”It was true, so I had to admit it. I nodded and said, “Yes. Zach and I got divorced two weeks ago.”The living room went silent, and Tyler’s expression grew darker. Eloise wobbled and nearly fell, so I quickly caught her.Out of everyone, only Cecilia looked pleased with herself.She was in a good mood. She thought that she finally had the upper hand today. She believed that she had knocked me down completely.However, she was being overly optimistic about the situation.Since she enjoyed this drama so much, I would keep playing along.After a moment, Mary asked, “Cassia, was the pregnancy a lie too?”Everyone waited quietly for my answer.I looked at Cecilia, who was smiling smugly.I did not respond. I just lowered my head and pretended to be too embarrassed to speak.Cecilia got even more excited and pushed me. I stumbled and fell to my kne

After a moment of chaos, I was rushed to the hospital. I could feel Mary’s hand trembling when she held mine.I knew that she was unsure if Cecilia was telling the truth. Cecilia was so confident that Mary might have believed her at some point.Cecilia was driving behind us. When I glanced over, the mix of excitement and worry on her face was quite a sight.I was taken to the nearest hospital, not Hayden’s hospital. This way, Cecilia could not say that Hayden and I were in on it together.I went for a checkup, and the others followed me to the ultrasound room.The doctor looked at everyone in confusion. “Are you all her family?”“I’m her mother-in-law,” Mary said.“And you?” the doctor asked Cecilia.With a smile, she replied, “I’m her friend. Doctor, you can start now. We promise not to make any noise.”Cecilia had a relaxed and confident smile. She should remember this moment because the truth was going to catch her off guard.I lay on the bed, and the doctor applied some

I was taken to another room to listen to the babies’ heartbeats. Cecilia insisted on coming in.It was my first time hearing their heartbeats, and I suddenly felt nervous.Before we began, I asked the doctor, “Can this be faked?”The doctor was stunned. “What do you mean?”Mary quickly said, “Oh, it’s nothing. Doctor, please begin.”The doctor placed the stethoscope on my belly. Soon, we heard a loud thumping sound through the speaker, like a train was approaching.The doctor said, “That’s the heartbeat. It’s strong. Hmm…”Then, the doctor smiled. “There are two heartbeats. They’re twins. Can you hear them?”The doctor looked at Mary. “Two heartbeats—one in front and one in the back. Do you hear them?”Mary tilted her head and wore a wide smile. She closed her eyes as if she was hearing the most beautiful music in the world.“Yes, yes, I hear it! There are two heartbeats!” Mary nodded excitedly.“Everything looks great. Congratulations,” the doctor said.Hearing the heartbe

Mary was an impressive woman, and I hoped to be as confident as her one day.I wanted to protect myself and the people I cared for.The test results came back, and the director personally handed them to Mary. “I heard that someone was accusing our doctors of faking the results. If you have your doubts, you’re welcome to visit another hospital for a checkup. If their results differ from ours, you can sue us.”Mary took it with a smile and replied, “Doctor, don’t let her words bother you.”“That’s good to hear. The mother of twins has it tough, so make sure to rest and eat well.”Mary carefully supported me as we walked to the hospital entrance. Cecilia was still there. She refused to leave, and Mary treated her like a nuisance. She immediately told the driver, “Don’t let that woman get close to Cassia. You need to follow Cassia wherever she goes from now on.”As the driver pushed Cecilia away, she stubbornly said, “Mrs. Gordon, I know a doctor! You should take Cassia to him for an

“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
