I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 173
I had no idea what Zach was trying to do, but I knew that I was not getting out of this situation.He had taken my phone and put it on the table right next to his own.Just then, my phone buzzed. It was probably Hayden calling to ask where I was. As soon as I reached for it, Zach grabbed it and shoved it into his pocket.I tried to take it back, but the second my hand slipped into his pocket, he held it tightly.I pulled hard, and he abruptly let go. I nearly fell out of my chair. Mrs. Sato watched us with a playful smile. She probably thought that we were just messing around.Meanwhile, Mr. Sato was all about the food. The couple had ordered three different soups: clam chowder, chicken noodle soup, and rich beef stew.Each of these soups could fill you up on its own, but all together? It felt like overkill.The bowls were so big that I could barely see Mr. Sato across the table.Being sweet, Mrs. Sato served me a bowl and said, “This soup is good. Have some. It’ll warm you u

Zach could not get mad in front of Mr. and Mrs. Sato. He probably never expected me to be so rude.He thought that he knew me well, but he was wrong.Sometimes, even I did not understand myself.I left after I said goodbye to them, and Zach said, “I’ll walk her out.”By the time we got to the entrance, I had already called the driver to pick me up.I stood by the big stone lion at the door. The sign above us bathed Zach’s cheeks in a red glow and made him look almost magical.The light flickered in Zach’s eyes so much that I could not see my own reflection.Soon, the driver pulled up with the car, and I said goodbye. Zach looked at me coldly and asked, “Do you know how much Mrs. Sato’s order is worth?”“She already promised to give it to us, so why would she back out? Even if it falls through, it’s not a big deal. It wasn’t part of the plan anyway. Yonder Trading is fully booked with orders for the next two years, and we just signed a five-year contract with Cameron the other d

Fortunately, I was not drinking because I choked on my saliva. Otherwise, I probably would have sprayed water everywhere.I forgot that Yulia was a doctor and she worked at the same hospital as Hayden. She would have learned that I was pregnant after asking around.I exchanged glances with Hayden and saw the embarrassment in his eyes.He probably did not expect this either. Yulia was clever, and she gave us enough space to figure out what to say.She stood up and said, “I’m going to the restroom. You two can order. I’m fine with anything.”I watched Yulia walk away before I quickly turned to Hayden and said, “What’s going on? How come it’s her? I’ve met her before. She was there when I brought you soup.”“Isn’t that perfect?”“Perfect? Didn’t you hear her? She knows I’m pregnant.”“Exactly. Later, I’ll tell her our plans to get married.”I felt like dying. “Did you know it was her before the date?”He shook his head. “But anything can happen.”Hayden was surprisingly calm. H

The one who would peel crabs for me was right beside me, but I still wanted to impress someone else. Yulia was watching us act like a couple in love. To keep up the act, I peeled a shrimp and put it in Hayden’s mouth. “You should eat too. Look at you. You’ve lost weight.”Hayden’s legs shook a little. I knew that he wanted to throw up, and I felt the same way. I was not sure if my acting was convincing, but I managed to get through the meal.I ate too much, and my stomach felt heavy. I went to the restroom to throw up, but the morning sickness was already gone by then. So, nothing happened.Out of nowhere, someone handed me a small bottle. “These are digestive tablets. They have hawthorn and dried tangerine peels. They’re safe for pregnant women.”I looked up and saw that it was Yulia.I grabbed two pills and swallowed them before I returned the bottle. “Thanks.”“No problem.” She put away the bottle and smiled. “Carrying twins is hard. If you have questions about pregnancy,

On the way home, Sophie gave me a call and asked how my role as a girlfriend was going. I told her that the other person was Hayden’s colleague and that we had met before. She probably figured out right away that I was pretending. My cover had been blown.“It doesn’t matter if she knows. Your whole act was meant to make her back off and realize that Hayden isn’t interested in her. As long as she gets it, she won’t worry about whether you’re his real girlfriend or not. I’m curious, though. What’s she like for Hayden to be so disinterested? He’s really devoted to you.”“She’s really cool. I’ve never seen a girl as cool as her before.”“She’s cooler than me? Is her hair shorter than mine? Are her leather pants shinier than mine?”“I’m not talking about looks.” Never mind. I decided not to explain further.I hoped that Hayden’s feelings for me would soon dissipate. Firstly, I did not know if I could ever love him the way I had loved Zach. Besides, I felt like plenty of other girls

“I want tiramisu,” I said. When I looked up, I nearly jumped in surprise. In the mirror, I saw Zach leaning against the door frame. I had no idea when he got back and listened to my entire phone call.I quickly told Sophie, “I’ll call you later.”Then, I opened a random webpage as I applied some skincare on my face.Zach walked by, and I smelled a bit of alcohol on him.“When did you start liking motorcycles?” he asked.Only then did I realize that I had been looking at pictures of motorcycles.I forced a smile before I turned off my phone and made my way to bed.I must have been sitting for too long because my legs felt numb. As a result, I stumbled forward when I stood up.Zach was not far away, and he caught me. I ended up falling into his chest.I had just showered, and it was a warm night, so I was dressed lightly.I was wearing a lace nightgown with an open robe, and the belt was not tied.It probably looked like I was trying to seduce Zach.In the past, I would have

He slowly leaned closer, but I was not going to let him do anything else to get me flustered.I slipped out from under his arm and ran into the bathroom. Then, I slammed the door shut and locked it. Somehow, I felt guilty about it.I leaned against the door and gasped for breath.I had no idea what Zach wanted to do. He had been acting weird all day.However, I was not foolish enough to think that he suddenly liked me. I looked in the mirror and saw my flushed cheeks. I hated that I still blushed from being near him.Did I still have feelings for Zach?Just because he kissed me while he was drunk, I lost my composure. No wonder he had such a hold on me.I took a deep breath to collect myself and finally opened the door.I had prepared myself for his reaction, but he was not there anymore.Zach never came back even after I lay in bed, and I eventually drifted off.I did not know what time it was, but I woke up to my phone ringing.After lying in bed for a while, I finally p

I suddenly realized why Oliver had hit him. They must have run into each other at night, and Julian probably said something to provoke him.Oliver did not know that I had divorced Zach. Even if he was not fond of being Zach’s brother-in-law, he definitely did not want Zach to be Julian’s brother-in-law.The police waved at them and said, “Hold on.”Then, they took us to another office to explain what had happened. It was pretty much what I expected. Oliver had gone to a bar for a classmate’s birthday party. There, he ran into Julian, who always hung out at bars.Julian had made some stinging remarks, and Oliver could not help but fight back. According to the police, it was hard to determine who was right or wrong. Luckily, neither of them was seriously hurt. Since we all knew each other, the police just gave both of them a warning.After we finished the paperwork, I took Oliver out of the police station.He lowered his head and followed me from behind. “Cassia, I’m sorry for tr

As I approached Sophie’s room, the yelling got increasingly loud and made my ears hurt.I opened the door to see her dragging Lucy out by the ear. Lucy was screaming, “Sophie, let go! You’re a barbarian! Austin told me to stay here! Who are you to kick me out? This isn’t even your house!”“This is my house.” I stepped aside to avoid the chaos. “And I’m telling you to leave.”“Austin said I could stay!” “Austin isn’t the king of the world.” I sneered. “Why should I listen to him?”Before I could finish, Sophie had already dragged Lucy to the door. I opened it wide so that she could toss her out.Lucy clung to the doorframe like her life depended on it. “I’m not leaving! Sophie, if you kick me out, what will you do when Austin comes looking for me?”Sophie grabbed a feather duster that Mrs. Gibson had left behind and marched toward Lucy.She started screaming, “Sophie, what are you doing?! Don’t hit me! Sophie! Stop!”Sophie raised the feather duster up high. I knew that she wo

Sophie completely ruined a happy moment.I looked at her. “You’re not still hoping for something with Austin, are you?”“Of course not!” she raised her voice. “I’m not a masochist!”Just then, Mrs. Gibson knocked on the door. “Ms. Cassia Freeman, Ms. Sophie Freeman, someone’s here to see you.”Who could it be this late?We went downstairs and saw Lucy at the front door with a suitcase.She simply would not leave us alone.My head hurt when I saw her.Lucy saw us and walked right in without taking off her shoes. “I told you Cassia and Sophie know who I am! Cassia, your housekeeper’s so rude. She wouldn’t let me in.”“Hey, what are you doing?” Sophie blocked her path. “Take another step, and I’ll get security to throw you out.”“Starting today, I’ll be staying here.” Lucy sat on her suitcase and grinned.“What are you talking about? Are you sure you’re not crazy?”I did not want to argue with her. “Did Austin kick you out?”Lucy was like glue. Once she stuck to you, you coul

“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
