I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 213
I could not tell if it was his blood or Zach’s.I felt him shaking, and I understood his anger. “Hayden, if fighting is how we solve problems, what kind of world would we have?”“Are you worried that I’ll kill him?”“I’m worried that he’ll kill you.” I held on to Hayden’s hand tightly. “I can’t see you. I don’t know how badly you’re hurt. You need to bandage that wound now.”My voice sounded calm. I felt much more at peace without being able to see.Conversely, Hayden was breathing heavily in front of me. He was usually a gentleman, and I rarely saw him angry.He seemed to only lose control whenever it concerned me. I realized that there were still people in this world who loved me deeply.I gently pushed him. “You need to go. Do you want to bleed out in front of me?”“It’s not serious,” Hayden said through gritted teeth. “Zach’s hurt a lot worse than I am.”“I don’t care about him. I only care about you,” I told him.Maybe my words had an effect because Hayden soon left the

Suddenly, I touched something wet that had not been there before.I felt around and realized that it was Hayden’s eyes.I was touching his tears. He was crying.Was he in that much pain?“Hey, real men don’t cry.”Then, Hayden hugged me tightly, so tightly that I could barely breathe.I could not see how sad he was, though.Sometimes, I thought being blind was good because it made things less awkward.I stretched out my arms, like a goose about to take flight.I could almost hear him sobbing. When I gently patted his back, he tightened his hold on me.“Cassia,” he called my name.I replied, “Yeah?”“Forget about Zach and be with me, okay?”I patted his head, and his hair felt much softer than Oliver’s.I was pregnant with twins, and he had confessed his feelings for me. I did not see why I should hesitate.“Okay. Once I’m out of the hospital and feeling better, we’ll date,” I said.“Really?”“Really. Just remember that I’m blind and pregnant, so don’t regret it.”Ha

“What do I need sympathy for? Can I eat it?”I did not need anyone’s pity. What good would it do me?It was not like I would be blind forever. Even if that was the case, I still had to live.I finished my soup, and Sophie went to wash the dishes. After a while, I heard her whispering with the nurse at the door.I caught Zach’s and Hayden’s names.So, I called her back in. “What’s going on?”“Nothing.”“If you don’t tell me, I’ll make you regret it.”Sophie sighed. “Hayden punched Zach and messed up his eye. His retina got detached, and he needs surgery. Some nosy doctor reported it, and the police just took Hayden in.”I shot up in bed, but Sophie held me down. “Hey, you’re hooked up to the IV. If you move too much, the needle’s going to come out.”“It’s that serious?”“Are you worried about Zach or Hayden?”“Isn’t it obvious? Figure out what’s going on. Hayden just got his job back. He can’t lose it over this.”“I don’t know who’s unluckier—you or Hayden,” Sophie muttered

I asked, “Zach, are you blind?”“Retinal detachment. Surgery will help it heal over time,” Zach answered.“Good,” I said. “I have a deal for you.”“You want me to drop the charges against Hayden?”“Yeah. If you don’t press charges, I won’t hold anything against you either.”“What do you have to hold against me?”“A lot of things. Zach, let’s end this. Leave Yonder Trading, and I’ll buy your shares. Just name your price.”“Then?”“Then, we’ll never see each other again. Let’s stay out of each other’s lives for good.”“We have two babies. We can’t stay out of each other’s lives.”“There’s nothing you can’t do if you really want to.”“Cassia—”“I’m not listening. You can either agree or get out.”I put in my earbuds and played an old song. Then, I cranked the volume up and shut my eyes.Honestly, it did not matter. Even if I kept them open, I could not see anything.Zach must have left quietly at some point.The music was so loud that I could not hear a thing. I had no ide

Mary held my hand and stayed silent for a long time. In the end, she left without a word.Late at night, she sent me a voice message. It was not long, but it clearly expressed her feelings.“Cassia, we respect any choice you make, and we won’t force you to give us the babies.”Mary really cared about me. Otherwise, she would not have said that.Once I left the hospital, I did not go back to the Gordon family’s mansion. Instead, I returned to my mom’s house.My mom was on my left, and Oliver was on my right. Meanwhile, my aunt was leading the way, and Sophie was directing everyone.“Cassia, lift your foot. There’s a step here.”“Go slowly. There’s a vase to your left.”“Mrs. Harrison, can you have two people move that big vase so that Cassia doesn’t bump into it?” my mom said.“Mrs. Harrison, please move that plant stand too. I’ve never liked that devil’s ivy. It looks messy.“Mrs. Harrison, why isn’t there any padding here? Didn’t I ask you to cover the steps with foam earlie

Hayden got me a pair of glasses. The lenses were thick, like the bottom of a bottle, but they actually helped. When I wore them, I could somehow tell if there were people or things in front of me. This prevented me from walking into walls.Everything still looked pretty blurry, like I had a lot of tape over my eyes. I had to squint to see through the small gaps.At first, I wanted Zach to sell his shares to me. But then, I heard Sophie and Austin whispering that if I really wanted to move on, I should sell Yonder Trading to Zach instead. After I had the baby and recovered, I could start my own company or work at Freeman Corporation.I knew that Sophie wanted me to hear what she was saying. Anyway, I was thinking the same thing too.I reached out to a lawyer to negotiate with Zach for me. I wanted to sell my shares at market price.The lawyer quickly told me that Zach wanted to meet face-to-face. I said no and told the lawyer to pass on my messages.It was business. If the price

Zach was in front of me, and I could tell where he was. I smiled and extended my hand. “Zach, it’s been a pleasure working with you these past three years. I’m sure Yonder Trading will do even better with you in charge.”I knew how to be diplomatic like that, and he shook my hand.His hand was freezing, like he had crawled out of a coffin. Was it because winter had started?It should have been a quick handshake, but he did not let go. I had to pull hard to retract my hand.What was Zach doing? Was he trying to get back together with me?It was over between us, and we should leave it that way.Hayden put his arm around me. “Are you alright?”“I’m fine. Let’s sign the contract. Is Mr. Graham here?”“He’s here.”We sat in Yonder Trading’s conference room, and Hayden handed me a pen. “Sign here.”I had not held a pen in a while, and my signature came out shaky.Then, it was Zach’s turn. The room went quiet as everyone waited for him to sign. Once he did that, we could end things

Zach must have lost his mind.If we were talking about what he owed me, it was not just a hug.It was my entire youth.So, why would I want just one hug from him?I stopped him from getting any closer. “Zach, from now on, we’re no longer spouses, business partners, or friends. In fact, it’s best if we just ignore each other.”I had been looking back all this time when I had my whole life ahead of me.What good did meeting him bring me?Bad fate was simply a curse. Since it was a curse, we should be even worse than strangers. If we ever ran into each other, I would pretend not to know him.Oh, wait. I was blind, so I could not see him.Being blind might really have its perks after all.“Do you hate me that much?” Zach asked softly.I wanted to slap him. He had spent too much time with Cecilia and picked up her sarcastic tone.“So, you think that no matter how much I’ve suffered because of you, I shouldn’t hate you? Or is it that I have no right to hate you?”“That’s wha

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 Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 437
“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

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
