I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 204
I returned to the bedroom with Mary’s mysterious gift and sat before my dressing table. Then, I turned on the table lamp, which had a glazed shade. When the colorful light shone upon the partially-translucent stone, it seemed to come to life. The light was refracting in the stone, as though many souls were trapped inside. It looked like they were trying to escape and shine. I knew that Mary would not lie to me. My first instinct was that she had been scammed. It looked like a normal mineral stone to me. It was ridiculous to think that it would make my wish come true. When Mary passed me a glass of milk at night, she told me that I needed to freshen up and change when I made my wish. I needed to be very sincere and not treat it as a joke. I could only make one wish, and the stone would shatter into smaller pieces after that. That sounded magical, and I expressed my gratitude even though I did not believe it. Zach returned home around 8 p.m. At this time, I was opening gifts

I told her about a film called “The Nine-Story Demon Tower” and that the cake bore an ominous similarity. “Cut the nonsense. No monster is going to jump out of the cake after you cut it.” Sophie was as blunt as always. I did not look forward to the cake at all as a result. I left after I packed my bags, but I bumped into Zach in the elevator. He had just arrived at the office. He asked, “Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together.” I twirled around and showed him my beautiful dress. “Sorry, I have dinner plans.” “Sophie’s throwing you a party?” I shrugged. When I stepped out of the elevator, Zach suddenly asked, “Can I join?” Without any hesitation, I answered, “No. Do you think Sophie would welcome you?” We stared at each other. Under the lobby’s bright lights, we could clearly see our reflections in each other’s eyes. As such, I only saw myself instead of his expression. He was not the type to pester, so he smiled and said, “Happy birthday.” “Thank you.” H

I started crying in response. For some inexplicable reason, she had always looked up to me. When we were little, she would tell me, “Cassia, I think you’re the smartest girl in the entire world. “Cassia, you’re the prettiest girl in the whole world. “Cassia, if I were a man, I’d definitely marry you. “Cassia, how are you this capable?” In her eyes, I was always the best. All the feelings of rejection that I faced from Zach would disappear whenever I saw Sophie. She made me cry so hard on my birthday. I was pregnant, and my hormones were making me more emotional. I had applied some makeup on my face, but my tears ruined it. So, I went to the washroom to wipe my face clean. After that, I no longer had any makeup on. I asked Sophie if I looked ugly, but Hayden overheard me and passed me a napkin. I told him that I had already wiped my tears. I did not need a napkin anymore. “There’s some writing on the napkin,” Sophie said. I lowered my head to have a look, and

“Come to the garden entrance. I’m waiting for you there.” What was Zach doing? “Why?” I asked in shock. “Hurry up. Your birthday’s almost over.” I was taken aback. Did Zach prepare a gift for me? Was he planning to spend the last hour of my birthday with me? I did not know if I was fueled by curiosity, but I quickly changed and ran out. I was panting by the time I reached the entrance. I saw Zach standing under a big tree. He was waving at me, so I walked over cautiously. “Why did you ask me to come out?” He suddenly patted something that was covered by a black plastic shield. “This is your birthday present.” “What’s that?” I was puzzled. “A wheelchair?” He pulled the shield back, and a cool motorcycle appeared before me. A motorcycle? He was giving me a motorcycle for my birthday? I was completely dumbfounded as Zach looked at me. “What’s the matter? Don’t you like it? Weren’t you looking at motorcycles a while back?” He was right. After I had dinner with

Zach was not going too fast. He was quite good at riding the motorcycle. I did not know when he learned how. Some people seemed to have a lot of skills up their sleeves. Who knew when they mastered them? I could hear the sound of the wind, and it was music to my ears. Eventually, Zach stopped in an empty plot. He got down from the motorcycle and said, “Try it. It’s really easy to ride.” “You’re asking me to ride the motorcycle?” I looked at the big vehicle and felt that I would be able to ride it. “You’re so smart. Riding a motorcycle would be very simple for you. This is the accelerator. You just need to twist it slightly. Don’t you know how to ride an electric bike? It’s the same principle.” “But…” I was still hesitant. “Your birthday’s almost over. You still have 10 minutes left. Don’t you want to try something you’ve never tried before your birthday is over?” Zach successfully convinced me. I had temporarily forgotten that I was pregnant. I braced myself and too

As I fell, I thought that I would be going to hell since I was not a good mother.Then, I blacked out, like I was dead.When I regained consciousness, the back of my head hurt like crazy. I knew that I was still alive because a dead person would not feel pain.However, I could not open my eyes. All I could hear was the noise around me.Sophie’s angry voice was very clear. “Zach! You knew she was pregnant, yet you still let her ride a motorcycle! Are you trying to kill her or the babies?”This was followed by a loud slap; Sophie must have hit him.She had always been hot-headed. Even though she could not beat Zach, she would still swing at him.I wanted to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt glued shut.“Zach, if anything happens to Cassia, I swear I’ll stab you!” Sophie cried out.“Zach!” Mary said angrily. “What’s wrong with you? What the hell were you doing? Cassia’s pregnant! Why did you let her ride a motorcycle? You’re usually careful. What’s gotten into you?”It was noi

“Cassia, you’re awake?”“Hurry up and call the doctor.”“Cassia, does anything hurt?”I heard a lot of voices around me. I knew whom each belonged to, but I could not see their faces.I touched my face and felt around my eyes. There was nothing. The white film was not on my face but on my eyes.I was desperate to remove whatever it was blocking my vision. I tried to pull it away, but that did not work.Right then, someone grabbed my hand. “Cassia, what’s wrong? What are you doing?”It was Mary. Her hand felt warm, but I was freaking out.My voice quivered. “I can’t see.”The room went quiet for a second before I heard my mom’s panicked voice. “Doctor, check on her! My daughter says she can’t see!”“Let me take a look. Everyone, please leave the room.”Everyone left, so it was just me and the doctor.He pulled back my eyelids and gently asked, “Can you see anything?”“Just a white, net-like film.”“Can you see any shadows or shapes?”“No.”“Don’t worry,” the doctor sai

“Cassia.” It sounded like Sophie was crying. “D*mn it. You’ve been through so much.”“Watch your language. It’s not good for the babies,” I said. “Just leave for now.”After Sophie left with my mom, Eloise and the others followed suit.However, one person remained in my room. She sat by my bed and cried softly.I knew that it was Mary. She had to be feeling a mix of emotions.She was heartbroken and angry all at once.I reached out, and she immediately took my hand. “Cassia.”Her voice was filled with sadness.“Mary, it’s just temporary blindness. I’m not going to be blind forever. Besides, the babies seem okay, so it’s fine.”“You’re so strong, my child.” Mary got choked up.Yeah, I had always been strong—sometimes too strong for my own good.What else could I do? Things had happened, and I could not just die.Death was too scary, so every other bad thing did not seem as bad in comparison.Mary did not say much after that. She probably did not know what to say either.Sh

I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 438
It was late at night, and everyone was too tired to do anything. I was heavily pregnant, and Sophie had no energy left. So, she stopped fighting back. She just collapsed onto the bed and pulled the blanket over her head.Lucy had already fallen asleep. She was young, and she could sleep through anything, including all our talking.Austin was as cold as ice while he sat on the couch. Since I could not convince him to budge, I gave him some water and went back to sleep.He could do whatever he wanted.When I closed the door, I saw him staring at the bed. The look in his eyes was soft and almost dreamy. I could sense love from where I stood.Did he really love Lucy? I could not believe it because I never thought he felt that way about her.I was exhausted, and my mind was all over the place. I went to sleep and had no idea when Austin left.The next morning, Sophie appeared at my door with a pillow.“If you didn’t sleep well last night, you can sleep a little longer. You’re

“I’m not scared. With Austin to protect me, what do I have to worry about? But I think you’re pretty pathetic, Sophie. I show up, and you just give me your room. Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Lucy shook her head. “So pathetic.”Sophie simply stared at her. Lucy was nervous, but she was trying to put on a tough front.Right after, Sophie wore an eerie and unsettling smile.“Fine. You want to sleep with me? Let’s do it. After all, I’m scared of you.” With that, she went back into the room. “It’s time for a shower. Who’s going first, you or me?”Since Lucy had won, she gave me a smug look. “Sophie’s so easy to deal with.”“I don’t think you’ll enjoy sleeping in the same room with her as much as you think,” I warned.The room next door became eerily quiet after I returned to my room.I knew that Sophie would not hurt Lucy. She was not one to go overboard.I texted her. [If you don’t want to share a room with her, come to mine.][It’s fine. The bed’s big enough,] Sophie replied.Alright, then.
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 436
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
