“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

There was a refuse room behind the garden at the Gordon family’s mansion. The workers would leave the trash there before they took it out to the entrance for the trash collector. I walked briskly. So, I did not know if the sound behind me was Zach following me or the sound of the wind. I did not care about that. I just wanted to get rid of these things today. They were once my treasures. I had acted like a fool. For many nights, I would quietly open my treasure box and smile at the items inside. I opened the door to the refuse room. Then, I tossed everything inside without a second thought. After I threw everything away, I clapped my hands in satisfaction. “Goodbye,” I said to the trash. It was a true goodbye. I was saying farewell to the undying love that I had for Zach. There was a saying that you should not have a crush for too long. It probably meant that there was something wrong with your brain. It would stop being love at some point. Instead, you would just b

When I looked up, I saw Mrs. Zimmer staring at us in confusion. It was the best opportunity for us to let go of each other. I immediately stopped biting him, and Zach let go of my wrist. My front teeth were sore. I touched them and walked away from Zach. “He wanted a watch, so I figured that I’d give him one using a bite mark.” After I returned to my bedroom, I examined my front teeth. Thankfully, they still seemed to be intact. I brushed my teeth again. I did not want to taste Zach’s blood when I slept. I did not know when he entered the bedroom. I had fallen asleep by then, so it must have been very late at night. The next day, I was alone in the bedroom when I woke up. So, I was not sure if he had come back to sleep. However, that was no longer important. I went down to have breakfast. The chef prepared a big breakfast for me, and it was extremely delicious. Mary smiled as she watched me eat. “I knew that you would have some cravings once you got pregnant. It’s
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 169
Mary started to tear up because of me too.She grabbed my hand tightly, but she was also at a loss of words. After a while, I finished my breakfast and got ready for work. It was only then that Mary said, “Cassia, if Zach still isn’t in love with you by the time you give birth to the babies, I won’t stop you. You should find your own happiness.” Where was my happiness? I walked out the door, and Zach was waiting for me in the car. He was reading a piece of document on his tablet. After I got in, he spoke to Mr. Lane without looking up. “We can leave now.” His sleeves were rolled up, so I could see the bite mark that I had left in my peripheral vision. I had bitten his arm with great force. It was a little swollen, and funnily enough, it did look like a watch from afar. As our car exited the garden gate, I saw a garbage truck driving toward the back door. The garbage truck would usually take the trash out from the back door. Whatever I had thrown yesterday would be goin

I looked at her. “Did Mary ask you to take care of me?” Hailey smiled. “Ms. Freeman, why did you hide such great news from us? Maybe your luck will rub off on us as well.” “What luck? You’re not married yet. Do you want to have a child out of wedlock?” My pregnancy was a really hard pill to swallow at first. It took me a long time to even accept it. It was hard enough to accept a new life, let alone two. “I’m getting married soon.” Hailey’s eyes crinkled as she smiled. “When?” “Ms. Freeman, I’ll take a week-long break. It won’t be longer than that, so please don’t fire me,” she said nervously. I laughed. “Now that you have your husband to take care of you, why do you still want to work so hard? Don’t worry. I won’t fire you. I just want to know when your wedding is so that I can buy you a gift.” “Ah, thank you, Ms. Freeman!” Hailey went out happily. Back when I was getting married to Zach, I was over the moon too. I felt like the happiest person on Earth. Yet, it

I put on the earrings. Normally, I did not like wearing any accessories because they could be quite heavy. But I did look good in them. After I took one last look in the mirror, I glanced at Zach. “Don’t be unreasonable.” “I’ll wait for you in the parking lot at 5:30 p.m.” After that, he turned around and left. The door closed with a soft click. I was furious. He was confident that no matter what, I would run to him like a dog when he wiggled his finger at me. It was as if I would listen to and follow everything he said to me. This time, he was wrong. I personally gave Mr. Sato a call to apologize. I told him that I was unable to have dinner with them because I had a very important appointment with a friend. Mr. Sato was very understanding, and he invited me to have dinner at their place the next time. Once I settled the matter with Mr. Sato, I gave my driver a call and asked him to wait for me in front of the office building. Zach would not be able to do anything a

Sophie knocked on my door the next day around 7 a.m.I only managed to fall asleep at about 2 a.m., so I had a bad headache. I sat on the bed as she ran over excitedly and asked, “Are you busy this morning?” “Go away.” I lay down again. “Come to the city hall with me. I’m getting married!”“Why do you need me there? Am I going to breastfeed you?”“You don’t have milk right now.” I was disgusted by our conversation. Rachel sat up from the bed and asked, “Why are you going to the city hall?”“To get married.”“Shouldn’t you be going to a church for that? There’s supposed to be a priest with a bible that asks if you’re willing to marry this person next to you regardless of… something?”“That’s a religious wedding. Besides, it has to be lawful. What we’re doing today is the legal side of things.” Sophie carried Rachel up from the bed. “Do you want to be a witness to our marriage?” “Yay, sure!” Rachel immediately beamed and agreed. “I want to be the priest who holds the bibl

Cecilia had no shame at all. I would be speechless if this worked on Zach. After a while, she walked out dejectedly with her flowers. It seemed like she did not even manage to enter his office. She stood there in annoyance for a while before she suddenly looked over in my direction. I could see her, but she might not be able to see me. I was on a high floor, and the sun was blinding. Right then, Hailey gave me a call. I knew that she wanted to rant about Cecilia. Sure enough, Hailey started to complain, “Ms. Freeman, Cecilia is really shameless. I’ve never seen such a shameless woman. When Mr. Gordon was cut off from Gordon Corporation, she abandoned him immediately. Now that she knows he’s going to be Gordon Corporation’s acting CEO, she instantly starts visiting him again. I really can’t stand her.” “Hasn’t she always been like this?” I was unfazed. “Fortunately, Mr. Gordon is not willing to see her.” Hailey sounded relieved. “Do you really think he won’t see her fo

I looked at Austin’s pale face, and I was at a loss for words. His argument was reasonable, and I had no way to refute it. I was upset, but I could not cry. I felt a heavy feeling in my chest, and I found it hard to breathe. He looked at me and suddenly smiled. “Look at your face. Have I ever said that I liked Sophie? I don’t like girls like her. I prefer girls like you who are smart, beautiful, and decisive. Why don’t you marry me after you give birth to your babies?”I did not want to joke around with him. It was not funny.After that, Lucy exited the bridal shop and got into the backseat of the car. I stood in front of the bridal shop and watched as his car disappeared into the corner. “Cassia,” Sophie called out to me. I turned around. “What?”“Whose side are you on? I realize you’ve been extra nice to Austin recently. Have you forgotten that he’s a jerk?”“Watch your mouth.”I got into my car unhappily. “I’ll make a move first.”“Aren’t we having dinner together to

I knew that he was looking at the photos of him and Sophie in her wedding gown. Perhaps this would be the only time in his entire life that he could stand next to Sophie while she was dressed in a wedding gown. I felt the waterworks coming. When I tried to look for tissue papers in my bag, Zach called me. He sounded a bit excited. “Cassia, there’s this person overseas who has the same blood type as Austin. He has ALS, which is a fatal motor neuron disease. His family has already signed an organ donation form for him, and his condition recently worsened. He may pass in a month’s time, so I got in contact with them. His family has agreed to donate his heart to Austin.” “Really?” It was good news, and I almost leaped in joy. I glanced at Austin excitedly. He was staring intently at his phone, so he did not notice me. “Does Austin have to leave immediately?”“It’s still early. We can leave when the donor’s condition worsens.” I estimated the time. Zach said that it would ta

Sophie could easily start a fight wherever she went. I immediately went over and saw that Austin’s forehead had turned red. It seemed to be getting swollen. I kicked Sophie in anger. “Is there something wrong with you? What are you doing?” “Why did you kick me? Didn’t you hear what he just said?”Austin bent down and picked up Sophie’s phone for her. “Luckily, your phone screen isn’t cracked. It’s fine if my skull is cracked; it can heal.” Sophie took her phone, and it immediately unlocked due to face ID. Her wallpaper was a photo of Kingston and her. She had just changed the wallpaper yesterday. It used to be a photo of me and her. Austin was the one who had taken that photo. Even though Austin was not directly in the photo, it felt like it was a photo of the three of us. He must have noticed it. He smiled and said, “I’ll make a move. Tell Lucy I’ll be waiting for her in the car.” Austin walked out of the bridal shop, and Sophie looked dispirited. “I was quite happy, bu

“You’re getting married too?”“I’ll be your best man or maid of honor. What? You’re too cheap to pay for the outfits?”“You, my best man?”“Look around you. Are there any single people left?”Sophie rolled her eyes. “Hah, I wasn’t planning on inviting you.”Kingston tried to shake Austin’s hand, but Austin ignored him. Sophie got mad and pulled Kingston away. “Don’t pay attention to him. He thinks he’s too good for anyone. He’s crazy.”“Sophie,” I warned.“What? He’s always acting crazy!” she yelled.I was not sure if Austin really wanted to be Sophie’s best man, or if it was just an excuse to come here.Anyway, Austin went to change too. I could not tell the difference between the best man’s and groom’s outfits. However, the difference between the bridesmaid and bride was clear.While Sophie was posing in front of the mirror in her wedding dress, Austin came out of the fitting room.Austin was very thin, and the suit hung loosely on him, but it still looked good.He had a

Sophie’s wedding preparations were progressing quickly. She limped to work in the mornings and dragged me along in the afternoons to buy wedding stuff.I felt like the wedding was just an excuse for her to go shopping.“This afternoon, Kingston and I are trying on our wedding outfits. You should come too.”“It’s your wedding. Why should I come?”“To help me choose! I look good in everything, so it’s hard to pick.”“If it’s that hard, just buy them all. Aren’t you rich?”“Why are you so grouchy?” She leaned closer and observed me. “Cassia, are your hormones off balance?”“I’m pregnant, so everything’s a mess right now.”After some thought, I called Austin and told him, “Sophie’s trying on wedding dresses this afternoon.”“Okay,” he replied in his usual lifeless tone.“Aren’t you going to say anything to her?”“Don’t eat too much. The wedding dress will be a pain to alter.”I was so angry that I hung up. He was so stubborn. I was sure that he would regret it and cry later.M

Austin was the weakest among us when we were kids. He could not climb trees, run, or do anything physically demanding. Instead, he would play board games and puzzles with us.Sophie always thought that he was smart, and she admired him.I never imagined that someone I grew up with might die so soon.“You should leave,” he said weakly. “She should be done by now.”“Austin.” I wanted to say something more, but he turned his back to me.He did not want to listen, so I had no choice but to leave.As I reached the door, I heard him say, “Actually, this is a good thing.”Was he saying that Sophie marrying Kingston was a good thing?What was good about it?I felt like grabbing Sophie over. I wanted to point at the dying man in bed and say, “This guy loves you more than you know. He helped you test Kingston’s character. He thinks about you all the time. He comes to see you every night using his half-sister as an excuse, but he’s dying. He doesn’t want you to be sad, so he plans to die

“I just went for a checkup.” Austin walked over to me. “Why are you sweating so much?”He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and gave it to me. Honestly, only Austin would still carry a handkerchief in his condition.I wiped my sweat. “I came with Sophie to get her cast off, and I thought I’d stop by to see you.”“Get her cast off? I thought that wasn’t until next month?”“She insisted on getting it off today. The doctor checked, and her bone is healing well, so it’s fine for her to take it off.”“When did she start caring so much about her looks?” Austin walked back to his room, and I followed him.He sat down and seemed a little out of breath. I had already asked the doctor about him. Austin could not engage in any physical activity; he could not even walk fast.I was about to pour him some water, but he waved me off. “Don’t bother. I’m not thirsty. How could I let you take care of me? I might be a patient, but you’re pregnant.”At least, he could still joke. If I were him
