I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 196
Zach made his breakup with Cecilia seem real.Cecilia moved out of the house that Zach had given her and returned to her parents’ house.She even went to the office to pack her things, and I ran into her there.Her office was a mess with all kinds of decorations. I asked two security guards to help her move. She was very grateful, and she thanked me over and over. After she was done packing, she came to my office to say goodbye.As she approached, I pointed at the door and said, “You can just talk from there.”She knew that I was pregnant, and I was worried she might try to cause trouble. I felt like putting an electric fence between us.She stood at the door with a humble and meek look. “Cassia, thank you for taking care of me during this time. I’ll be off now.”“Do you have a split personality?” I could not stand her. “You were just cursing me on the phone the day before yesterday. Have you forgotten?”“Let’s not talk about the past.” She lowered her eyes and appeared sad.

“You’re not drop-dead gorgeous.”I was not happy with that. “Are you saying I’m not pretty?”“In my opinion, you’re not the most beautiful.”“Then, who is?” After I learned that Austin was not into me, I became curious.“Why do you care? I tried calling Sophie earlier, but she didn’t pick up.”“Really? Let me try.”While I called her, I entered the elevator and bumped into Zach as he stepped out.Austin nodded at him, and Zach asked, “Going out for lunch?”“Just the two of us.” I pulled Austin into the elevator. “No extra company.”As the doors closed, Austin shook his head. “When did you get so petty? Besides, Zach didn’t even want to come.”“Better be safe than awkward.” I finally got through to Sophie. “What are you doing? Why didn’t you answer Austin’s call?”“Are you with Austin?” she whispered.“Yeah, we’re grabbing lunch. Spicy shrimp.”“N-No thanks.”“What’s wrong?”“I’m busy. The shop’s packed today.”“Are all your employees dead or something?”“Don’t curse th

Speaking of Austin’s dad, he was something else. If he lived in ancient times, he would be a king who loved pretty women more than his kingdom.After Austin’s mom died, his dad started partying and dating a lot. He switched girlfriends so quickly that it was like flipping through a calendar. He would have a new date every month.Austin’s grandfather built Jenkins Corporation. After Austin grew up, he took over the company while his dad traveled around and had fun.Everyone had their own way of living, and sometimes, I envied his dad.Austin went all out in business since no one was there to stop him.He took huge risks, but he was lucky and talented. Under his leadership, Jenkins Corporation kept growing.However, I did worry that it might crash someday.When we reached Sophie’s restaurant, she panicked. She glared at us with half a potato in her mouth. “Didn’t you say you were going for spicy shrimp? Why are you here?”“You mentioned that your restaurant was packed, so we ju

Our spicy shrimp had arrived. So, Sophie grabbed some forks and spoons before she joined us.I ordered two levels of spiciness. Since Austin could not really handle spicy food, I got him the mild one and got Sophie the spicy one.She loved it. I looked at her and said, “Didn’t someone just say they didn’t want to eat?”“Someone? Who?” She laughed.Ugh, Sophie could be so thick-skinned when we were not talking about feelings. But as soon as we brought up relationships, she would get all shy.What a coward.However, just having courage was not enough when it came to feelings.I was brave, and I had always made the first move with Zach, but it did not matter.I still ended up divorcing him.Forget it. There was no use thinking about it.I had not eaten spicy food in a while, so I found even the mild shrimp too spicy. I rinsed it in my grapefruit tea before I ate it. Sophie looked at me in disgust and said, “How can you eat like that?”“Don’t talk with your mouth full.”“Aren’t

Well, according to Sophie, life was tough.I could not believe that she had come up with something so deep. Unrequited love could really turn a regular person into a philosopher.After dinner, I drove everyone home despite being pregnant.Austin did not drive, and Sophie had a cramp in her foot.When I dropped Austin off at his place, he stood by the gate and asked, “You’re not going to tell Zach I’m interested in Cameron Hill, are you?”“Zach’s not the only person in the world. I have other friends who aren’t worth losing over him.”He nodded and went inside.If I were someone who only cared about love, I would not have any friends left. Life was not just about love, right?I returned to the Gordon family’s mansion, and nothing happened that night.Zach stayed in his study till it was really late, and I fell asleep before he came to bed.Since I was pregnant, I slept deeply. I bet that even if someone threw me out of the house, I would not realize it.The next day, Sophie

“Really? I’m not so sure about that. He just broke up with Cecilia. Let’s put aside its authenticity for a moment. Are you feeling any old feelings for him?”“Not at all.”“Come on. There has to be a little spark. A small spark can grow into a big fire.”“Stop imagining things.”“People often forget their past pain when they feel better in relationships.”Sophie did not know me well enough, and sometimes, I did not understand myself either. I was not sure if I would ever get back together with someone like Zach. I did not think I would. Hopefully, I was not wrong about that.Meanwhile, they had still not found Lucy. The vice president had sent two employees to her house in search of her. I think that was too much effort. If Lucy did not show up today, she would eventually.Maybe having a crush was toxic. If Sophie and I were in regular relationships, we would probably not be acting this way.When I dropped Sophie off at the coffee shop, she said, “By the way, your birthda

Zach sat down across from me and looked at my soup. “You’re eating so healthily?”“Do you want to order something richer for me?” I believed that if he ordered anything at Sophie’s shop, she would not give him even a single leaf of lettuce.“What are you doing here? I already told you that I was having lunch at Sophie’s place. It’s not like we usually have lunch together.”“I was passing by, and I saw your car outside, so I decided to visit.”Oh, that was it. I did not reply.I focused on my food. After spending all morning with Sophie, I was hungry.He sat there with his hands clasped and watched me.I noticed that he was still wearing our wedding ring. I had taken mine off long ago and tossed it to the back of my drawer.Sophie said that I should have thrown it in the lake. Since we had been staying at the Gordon family’s mansion, Zach still had his ring on.It was not necessary. Tyler and Mary already knew we were divorced. Zach just had no idea that both of them already kn

Sophie passed me my steak. “Where is Zach going?” “He just left.” “What did he say to you?” “Nothing.” “Then, why did he look for you?” “I don’t know.” Sophie sat across from me and started to ponder while she cupped her face with her hand. “Even though I’m not sure why he’d suddenly look for you, I know there has to be a reason for it. You have to be careful of his sudden change in behavior.” In Sophie’s eyes, Zach was up to no good. As for me, I was uncertain about his true intention. After I finished my steak, Sophie received a call from the vice president. Lucy Grant had been found, but she was too sick to go to work. “Send me her address,” Sophie said. “I’ll visit her.” The vice president had to be incredibly shocked. He had to wonder when Sophie became this caring. She was even visiting a sick employee who had just joined their company. Sophie ended the call and slowly looked at me. I immediately raised my hands in defeat. “I beg you to go on your own.

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
