I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 185
Cameron looked great, though. I told him that his light blue suit reminded me of a macaroon, and he smiled with crinkled eyes.“Where’s Rachel?”“She’s with Ms. Wilson.”I was surprised. “Cecilia?”“Yeah, Ms. Wilson was being friendly. She said that she felt bad about what happened the last time. Then, she invited Rachel to her place to play.”I could see why Cameron was calm about it. He knew that Zach and Cecilia would be extra careful with Rachel. They were signing the contract today, so everything would be fine.I just smiled in silence.Cameron then pointed at my bangs. “Your hairstyle is… quite unique today.”He was being nice. It was more than just unique. I was going to ask Sophie to bring me to her hairstylist after the signing. I had to try everything possible to fix it. At least, it would look better than to leave it as it was.The signing ceremony was about to start, and the media had set up their cameras. I tried to hide in a corner to avoid being photographed.

“Rachel…” He had only uttered her name, but my heart dropped.Was Cecilia causing trouble again?That did not make sense. She knew that today was Zach and Cameron’s signing day. She would not do something foolish on such an important day.“What happened to Rachel?”“Cecilia took her to see her mom,” Cameron said through gritted teeth. Just then, Zach rushed over.We exchanged a quick glance, and Zach looked upset.We got into the car, and Zach immediately called Cecilia. “Where are you?”“Put it on speaker,” Cameron said concisely.Zach switched to speaker mode, and Cecilia’s excited voice came through. “Zach, guess where I am right now?”“Where?”“You won’t guess it! Zach, you have no idea how clever I am. I found Rachel’s mom! I know Cameron wants to find a stepmom for Rachel, and she doesn’t want that, so I brought Rachel to meet her mom.”I could not stand to listen anymore and started to sweat.What was wrong with this woman? Did she really think she was being clever?

We walked out of the house and could still hear the woman crying.Cameron had already taken Rachel away, and the three of us stood in the garden.Cecilia looked down with tears in her eyes. “Zach, I didn’t know Cameron would get so angry. I was just trying to help you—”“Enough.” Zach cut her off. “Let’s talk about this later.”Zach got into the car, but Cecilia stayed outside. What was she waiting for? Did she think Zach would help her into the car?I got in too. Zach leaned out the window and told Cecilia, “You can go back by yourself. We have things to do.”Then, he started the car and drove off.I could see the surprise and fear on her face in the rearview mirror.She really messed things up. If it were not for her, Zach and Cameron would have finished their deal and been celebrating.Zach was anxious and drove fast. I tried to reassure him. “I’ll call Cameron later. He’s still upset right now.”“Okay, thanks,” he replied and bit his lip.I could see that he was frustr

When someone did not want to talk, I never pushed them to. They would speak when they were ready. If they did not want to share, it meant they were not ready to open up.Cameron finished his tequila, and he seemed fine. I turned to Sophie, and she quickly brought him another glass.When he almost finished his second glass, he finally spoke.“That woman we saw earlier is Rachel’s mom.”“Oh.” I nodded. “Rachel looks a lot like her, especially when it comes to her eyes.”“Her name is Scarlett York. I met her when she had just turned eighteen.” Cameron took a deep breath and leaned back on the couch.He held his drink and looked more relaxed.I was ready to listen since he wanted to talk.“I met her in West City, so I feel a special connection to this place.” He suddenly looked at me. “I think the girls from West City are all cute and precious.”I smiled back. I could hear how much he cared for Rachel’s mother. I wondered why he would not let Rachel meet her. There had to be a rea

Cameron decided to keep drinking and sharing his feelings.He wanted to let out the pain he had inside.I promised myself that I would not tell anyone what he said, not even Sophie. If there came a point where I had to keep others silent, I would be ready for that too.I turned to Sophie at the bar, and she was trying to listen in. When she saw me glaring, she quickly looked away.“She needed treatment, but by then, Rachel had already been in her belly for over four months. She couldn’t terminate the pregnancy, so she had to go with an induction. Sometimes, she would be aware of what was happening. She cried and begged me not to get rid of the baby. I softened at that moment and didn’t go through with it. She didn’t get any treatment during her pregnancy, and I watched as she lost herself even more.”I could guess the rest of the story without him saying it.After giving birth, Scarlett completely lost her mind and had to go to a hospital for treatment. She did not recognize Ca

“Answer it and put it on speaker.”Sophie pressed the speaker button while I kept kneading the dough. No wonder Sophie loved baking so much. Kneading the dough really helped to alleviate my stress.Cecilia’s weak voice came through the phone. “Cassia, what did you say to Cameron? Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? It’s fine if you hate me, but why did you mess up Zach and Cameron’s partnership? Do you know how much Zach cares about this project? He’s put all his time into it. Even though you and Zach are divorced—”Cecilia kept rambling, so Sophie leaned in and yelled into the phone, “Are you out of your mind, Cecilia?! Don’t try to shift the blame to Cassia! You know what you did!”“Don’t waste your breath.” I ended the call and left a white fingerprint on the screen.“Cecilia’s ridiculous. She knows what she did, yet she still blames you? Where does she get the nerve?”“We all know she’s shameless.” I was too used to Cecilia’s nonsense to get upset. “Looks like Cameron alread

I rushed back to the Gordon family’s mansion, and the tension hit me as soon as I walked in.Mary was pacing around the living room. When she saw me, it was like she had found her savior. She hurried over. “Cassia, they’re in the study. Take this tea to Tyler and see if you can calm him down. I’ve never seen him this mad before. He slapped Zach twice as soon as he saw him. He wasn’t even this furious three years ago.”What happened three years ago did not come close to this. Cameron backing out of the partnership was a big deal. The project was good, but it was way too big for anyone to take on alone.Only a company as big as Cameron’s had the resources to handle something like this. A lot of other companies just could not do it.If Gordon Corporation tried to take it on alone, it would require a huge amount of money. Projects this size took years to finish, and the costs would keep piling up.I agreed, and Mrs. Zaffino quickly handed me the tea along with the tray. Mary squeezed

Once Tyler was done, the atmosphere in the study felt heavy and tense.Tyler said that in front of me as a warning and a threat to Zach.Zach kept quiet because he knew that Tyler could act on what he said.“And Zach, if you leave the Gordon family, Cecilia will leave you too, just like she did three years ago. Once you’re out of this family, you’ll have nothing.”After that, Tyler walked past me and said, “You should rest. This isn’t your problem.”With that, he left the study, so only Zach and I remained.Zach was standing in the corner, where the light did not reach.I could see that he felt defeated. Because of this incident, Tyler was questioning his relationship and his abilities.Those two things were important to a man.I did not know how to comfort him, and I did not really want to.Why should I care?I just hoped that he would not blame me for everything like Cecilia did. But if he did, there was nothing I could do about it.As I got up from my chair and headed fo

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
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 435
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
