I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 248
What was going on? Ever since I lost my eyesight, going out alone always felt dangerous.It was either some crazy woman trying to kidnap me or a random stranger offering me water.This time, someone was following me right to my doorstep.They stayed a few meters behind as they matched my pace. I tried turning around to look.There were not many people nearby, but I could tell that the tallest one was following me.Was it a psycho or just some thug?I was almost home when the footsteps behind me sped up. I thought that person was catching up, and I got ready to run. Just then, Mrs. Gibson called out to me, “M-Ms. Freeman!”She was out of breath. “You already made it here? King Kong ran off chasing another dog, and it took me a while to find it.”Hearing her, I felt relieved. I grabbed her arm and whispered, “Can you check if someone weird is following me?”“Huh? Oh.” She turned around and checked for quite a while. I could not wait any longer and asked, “Do you see anyone?”“T

“Lucy called me and asked if I could find her a place to stay. Has she lost her mind?”“She’s got nowhere to stay?”“She said that she couldn’t pay the rent and I already terminated her contract.”“You didn’t give her any payoff?”“She didn’t even use her real name when she signed the contract. Why should I give her any payoff? She can sue me if she has the guts! Even the police didn’t manage to find any record of her.”“You’re such a shark,” I teased her.“Pfft. All businesspeople are sharks. Weren’t you ever ruthless in business?”I did not think I ever was. Besides, people were not that dumb. The old way of doing business did not work anymore.Sophie’s phone rang nonstop, so she turned it off. After a moment, she grumbled, “Why should I turn off my phone because of her? Who does she think she is?”Then, she switched it back on, only to shut it off again after a few more calls. She kept doing that over and over.Eventually, I called Austin and bluntly asked, “What’s going

Sophie heard her and ran over in a panic. “What happened, Cassia? When did someone follow you?”I had told Mrs. Gibson to keep quiet about it, but she had let it slip.“Maybe it wasn’t even the same person. They might’ve just walked by our door. Don’t freak out,” I said.“Cassia, just hire me as your bodyguard. I won’t charge you anything. Just give me food and a place to stay.“Is your mom bugging you to get married again?”“Yeah.”“Don’t tell Hayden about this.”“Don’t worry. I can keep my mouth shut.”After Sophie went to take a shower, Hayden called as soon as I climbed into bed.Before I could say a word, he nervously said, “Sophie told me someone followed you home tonight.”I sighed. Her mouth was like loose pants; it could never hold anything in.“Don’t listen to her attempts to scare you. Maybe I was just being paranoid.”“Cassia, someone has to be with you whenever you go out.”“I know.”“You have your eye checkup tomorrow. I’ll pick you up.”“It’s okay. I’ll ge

I was not sure if that would happen. However, I had a feeling that Cecilia would not treat Zach the same anymore. For a moment, I thought that the person following me and the one outside the garden might be Zach.However, hearing that he had proposed to Cecilia, I realized that I was wrong. If Zach had proposed to her, he would not come looking for me.Was I going crazy? Or did I still have feelings for Zach?That could not be true. I was already with Hayden.I could not keep this up. Zach was a jerk, and I did not want to act like one myself.The next day, I went to the hospital for my checkup and refused to let anyone come with me. They were too anxious, and they would ask the doctor too many questions.The driver took me there, and Hayden was waiting for me at the entrance.I walked right up to him. He smiled and asked, “How did you know it was me?” “I just went toward the best-looking doctor in a white coat.”Hayden laughed. He took my hand and said, “I registered you

I understood what Yulia was saying. She had known from the start when I pretended to be Hayden’s girlfriend. But this time, it was real. I apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry.”“There’s no need to apologize. I know Hayden loves you, but I also know that you don’t feel the same way about him.”I froze and pulled my hand away from hers. “I didn’t know you could read people like that.”“Stop pretending. You don’t look at him that way.”“I’m blind.” I laughed. “I can’t see anyone.”She took me to the examination room and let me in. When Dr. Jordan arrived to help me, she left.I could tell that Yulia had feelings for Hayden. I lost my cool and got a little angry earlier when she said that I did not love him.Everyone said that I did not love Hayden, but we just started dating. Feelings could develop over time. Besides, I really liked him. Love could grow from liking someone in a warm and caring environment.Eventually, those feelings would blossom, and no one would be able to st

However, Dr. Xavier was with me this time.I thanked him and took a big sip.I felt a little uneasy with him sitting next to me, so I said, “I can wait alone. It’s fine. You can carry on with your work.”He shook his head. He was wearing a medical mask, a white coat, and glasses. My eyes were getting better every day. I could see certain details, even though I still could not make out his finer features.“Did Hayden ask you to stay with me? He’s just being overly cautious. I hope I’m not bothering you.” Sitting in silence was a bit boring, so I tried to talk to him.Unfortunately, Dr. Xavier did not seem very chatty. He just listened in silence. I loved to talk, unlike some people who were quiet.Since he was not saying a word, I could not just awkwardly fill the silence.I had to stay quiet and wait.Even so, I could not shake the feeling that Dr. Xavier was always looking at me. It made me uncomfortable. I touched my face and asked, “Is there something on my face?”Sud

After the test was over, I heard Hayden’s voice as soon as the doctor walked me out.“Cassia.”“Finished your rounds?”“Yeah.” He came over and held me. “Just had your intracranial pressure test?”“Yeah, but the results aren’t out yet.”“Let’s wait in the office, then.”“Oh, by the way, Dr. Jordan said that my eyesight’s getting better.”“That’s good,” Hayden said. “Your last brain scan looked better too. These things take time. It’s not like in the movies where your vision suddenly comes back one day.”“I know. Life isn’t a fairytale.”He wrapped his arm around me and touched my coat pocket. “What’s this?”“Oh, the Rubik’s Cube.” I pulled it out. “I already solved one side. Pretty good, right?”“Did you bring it?”“No, Dr. Xavier gave it to me.”“Dr. Xavier?”“Yeah, the one from your department who’s getting married soon.”“He’s on leave to prepare for his wedding.”“What?” I froze and felt uneasy. “That wasn’t Dr. Xavier? Who was it, then?”“Maybe it was Dr. Savier?”

I stopped playing with the cube, as I did not think I was charming; I was just lucky.I smiled at her. “Is Hayden the most popular guy in this hospital?”“Of course! After learning that Dr. Smith has a girlfriend, all the single nurses were so disappointed.”“Well, I guess I need to treat Hayden even better. I can’t let you all down.”“Ms. Freeman, you have such a pleasant personality. It’s rare to see someone with your background being so down-to-earth.”I laughed. “What background?”“Some rich people love to act like they’re better than everyone else.”While we chatted, someone knocked on the door. “Is Hayden here?”The voice sounded familiar. I looked up and saw the outline of a woman at the door. I stood up and cautiously asked, “Mrs. Smith?”“Cassia?” Sure enough, it was Hayden’s mom. It appeared that my hearing was getting sharper.“Hayden went to check on some test results for me,” I said.“Oh, I brought him some soup.” Mrs. Smith came in, and Ms. Linden went to pour

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

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
