I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 159
When Sophie said that, something occurred to me.“Do you think Zach deserves to be a dad?”“With how awful he is now? No way.”“After I give birth, we’ll split custody. One kid each, no fighting.”“Are you really okay with separating the babies?”“Everything that comes together eventually splits apart.”“Do you even hear yourself?”It might sound harsh, but that was the reality I would face in a few months. Whatever. I would deal with it later.We finally dropped Austin off at his house. He went straight to his study and said through the door, “I’m starting a video call. Do whatever you want.”We could do whatever we wanted? What exactly were we supposed to do?Sophie and I just looked at each other. The decor in his house was cold and minimalist in style; it felt lifeless.Sophie joked that stepping into his house in the middle of summer made us stop sweating instantly. After we told the housekeeper how to prepare his meals, Sophie and I left.I asked Sophie why she di

When Cecilia saw me, she greeted me sweetly, “Hey, Cassia. It’s been a few days, and you’re looking good.”She seemed friendly, but I noticed her sneaky glance at my belly.The way she looked at Zach was sickeningly affectionate, but she was trying to hold back. Every look she gave was dramatic.It made me feel nauseous, so I went to the food area to find something to eat.While I got some snacks and chatted with Mr. Howard, I learned the purpose of Zach’s business trip. He had been negotiating for the approval of his Cameron Hill project. They had made a lot of progress, and the approval would be coming soon. Cameron was excited to work with Zach too.Mr. Howard said, “I never expected Mr. Gordon to be so young yet so insightful and bold.”I could not argue with that. He would not have stood out among his brothers otherwise. Tyler had been particularly focused on him in recent years.Mr. Howard took a sip of his drink and added, “Ms. Freeman, you’re young and accomplished too.

Surprisingly, Zach did not defend Cecilia. After I finished speaking, I looked down and continued eating. He stood at my table for a bit.I thought he would leave soon, but he suddenly asked, “I heard that you went to the hospital because you fell. Are you okay now?”I looked up in surprise. Was he serious? He was actually concerned about me?My first thought was that he must have some hidden agenda. There had to be something behind his caring words.I realized that I was being more logical. At least, I would not allow myself to act foolishly in front of him.I shrugged and replied, “I’m not made of glass. A fall won’t kill me.”However, he sat down across from me and made me anxious. I tried to keep eating, but with Zach watching, even the soft shrimp got stuck in my throat. I could not swallow it or spit it out.I did not want to waste food, though. It would bring bad karma.“What do you want?”He glanced at my plate and said, “You seem to be eating a lot lately.”It

Zach picked up a leaf and casually handed it to me. I treated it like a piece of treasure. I took it home and pressed it between the pages of my favorite book.One time, Mrs. Xander cleaned my study and moved the book, so I could not find my leaf. I got mad at her as a result.It was my first time yelling at someone close like that. It scared Mrs. Xander.After I calmed down, I realized how silly I was.Another time, I showed the leaf to Zach, and he asked me what it was. It dawned on me that he had probably forgotten about it. He had just handed me a leaf, while I treated it like it was really special.There were many moments like that. For example, I had my hair down when we had dinner once. So, he asked the waiter for a hair tie so that I could pull it back. That hair tie became one of my cherished items too.I had a box filled with things that I thought proved Zach’s love for me. Sophie would say that even a trash collector would not want those things. Looking back, I

I did not mean to eavesdrop, but they were right outside. I felt awkward about going out there, so I stayed in the washroom.Cecilia was also listening closely, and she even murmured to herself, “Rachel’s mom is still alive?”I shot her a look of annoyance. Did she not act like she was above gossiping?Seeing her so into this made her no different from those old ladies in the neighborhood.At least, those ladies were honest and not pretentious.After a while, Rachel ran off crying, so I finally stepped out of the washroom. Cameron was about to chase after her but saw me and sighed awkwardly. “Did you hear everything?”“A little. I’m going to check on her.”“Okay.”I left the hall and headed to the garden. I had a feeling that Rachel would run to the slide to play. She might be sad, but that would not stop her from having fun.I stood aside and watched her cry as she slid down the slide over and over again.I wiped her tear-streaked face with a tissue and gently held her h

“Leave it to me. I’m a friend to all children.”“Cassia, I’m not a child,” Rachel protested as she leaned against me.Kids never wanted to be kids, and adults always wanted to feel younger. People were so contradictory. No one wanted to be themselves.I walked with Rachel to the underground parking lot. I did not know where Zach had gone, but I could guess that he was taking Cecilia home.Rachel asked me, “If he’s so bad, why are you having babies for him?”“I’m not having babies for him. Since I’m already pregnant, I have to keep them.”Rachel looked a little confused. “So, will he live with you in the future?”“No,” I replied firmly.Before we reached the car, I heard a familiar voice.It was low and gentle. “Take this back. Don’t do this again next time.”Oh, it was Zach and Cecilia. I quickly pulled Rachel behind a car.I was not sure why I wanted to hide. I did not usually spy on people.Zach was giving Cecilia the box with the watch. He really thought of her in ever

Ugh, I felt like throwing up. Did anyone have a tissue?Even Rachel could not handle it. She looked up at me and asked, “Why does it sound like she’s about to die when she talks? It’s like she’s running out of breath.”The parking lot was incredibly quiet, so I was sure that they heard Rachel’s voice.I took Rachel’s hand and stepped out from behind the car. Cecilia was still holding on to Zach’s sleeve, and she looked at us with teary eyes.“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop,” I explained. “I was just taking Rachel to the car. Please move aside.”We entered the car, and Zach soon joined us. Meanwhile, Cecilia left in another car.It was unusual for him to not drive her home tonight. I guessed that it was because he and Cameron had a project coming up. News of our divorce had not leaked yet, and he probably wanted to avoid trouble.Rachel and I sat in the back seat while Zach was in the front passenger seat. As he fastened his seatbelt, he glanced back at us and noticed the brooch on R

When we got back to the room, I proceeded to wash up. Meanwhile, Zach received a phone call.I already knew whom it was from. At this time, only Cecilia would be calling to remind him that she was still around.Even with my electric toothbrush on, I could still hear Zach talking.“Are you home? Yeah, get some rest…“No, don’t worry about it…“Stop thinking about it…”Ugh, it was clear that Cecilia was crying and complaining on the other end of the line. Feeling annoyed, I closed the bathroom door.When I came out, Zach was sitting on the couch. As I walked past him, he suddenly called out to me.“Cassia.”“What do you want?” I did not turn around.“Don’t you like the gift I gave you?”I pulled the blankets and got into bed. “It’s not that I don’t like it. I just can’t accept it.”“It’s just a gift, nothing more.”“Once you give it to me, it’s mine. So, why do you care what I do with it?”“That’s true,” Zach replied calmly.Yet, he made it seem like I had done something w

“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
