Sophie finally returned after a long time. She was out of breath as she plopped down in front of me.“Did you go hiking?”“I checked every booth for Zach, and there wasn’t even a guy who looked remotely like him. Some people even tried to get me to drink with them. Can you believe it?”“You didn’t hit them, did you?”“Why shouldn’t I?”No wonder she took so long. I had a feeling that Sophie would not find him.It felt like Zach had become a ghost that kept floating around me. No one else could feel his presence, except me.Sophie touched my hand and said, “Cassia, can you pull yourself together?”“Shut up. I’m fine.”“I need to use the restroom. I can’t hold it in any longer!” Sophie hurried off, while I searched the table for a spoon to drink my soup.I accidentally knocked the spoon to the floor, so I bent down to pick it up.It was metallic, and the floor was dark, so it was hard to see. As I felt around for it, someone suddenly picked it up for me. Then, he gently plac

I gave Sophie a kick. “Get lost.”She then moved to the other side of the table and continued eating.I decided to ignore the feeling and focus on eating with Sophie. I did not want to waste the food. We finished the burgers, fries, and soup—I ended up eating a lot.After dinner, Sophie helped me out of the restaurant. “So, how was it? The food wasn’t bad, right? Next time, we should order takeout so that we can eat at my place. The smell of beef is strong here. It’s a bit overwhelming.”“You love beef but can’t stand the smell? Isn’t that a little contradictory?”“Lots of people are contradictory,” she replied. “Some say they’ve moved on, but their actions tell a different story.”“I’ll prove it to you.”“How will you prove it?”“Get the car and keep an eye out. Just don’t come out.”“What do you mean?”“Just do as I say.” I nudged her lightly. “I’ll wait right here.”Sophie went to the parking lot to get the car while I waited under the streetlight. She thought that I

Sophie stammered. “It-It really is Zach.”“Yes, Cassia. It’s me,” he finally said.At that moment, all the tension left me, and I released his hand.“Was it—”“Yes, it was me.” He cut me off. “I was the one in Madrid, Dr. Xavier at the hospital, and Mr. Ganes at the rehabilitation center. Earlier, I was watching you from the manager’s office through the security cameras.”I turned to Sophie. While I could not clearly see, I could tell that her mouth was wide open.The mystery was solved, and I was not crazy.I let out a long sigh of relief and walked over to her.I did not care why Zach did what he did. I simply needed to know that I was not imagining things.He could do whatever he wanted; it meant nothing to me.I grabbed Sophie’s arm. “Come on, let’s go. Why are you just standing there?”Eventually, I got in her car. I tried to reach for the seatbelt but failed and got frustrated. “Help me with this, will you? Are you as blind as I am?”Sophie was still in shock. “Cassia

It was too late by the time I yelled. I felt the car tilt and veer toward the side of the road. Sophie quickly grabbed the steering wheel, but it was too late.There was a loud bang as our car crashed into a flower bed. Thankfully, we had not been going very fast, and I had my seatbelt on. I just jerked forward and hit my knee.My first thought was to check my belly. To my relief, I had not hit it. While I was rubbing my knee, Sophie was panicking and on the verge of tears. “Cassia, are you okay? Please tell me that you’re fine! This is bad. You can’t be hurt. I can’t afford this. My mom will kill me, Cassia…”“Stop yelling.” She was so noisy. “I’m fine. I told you to focus on driving. Look what happened!”“Are you sure you’re okay?”“I’m fine. The airbags didn’t even deploy.”Sophie got out to check her car for damage, but I could hear her crying outside. “I just got this car last month! The lights are all broken!”“Just replace them.”“It’s a limited edition! If I chang

Previously, Zach did not fight back when Hayden hit him. This time was different. Zach threw the first punch, and Hayden could not beat him.Sophie sounded a bit excited. “Cassia, I’m going to help! I’ll distract him!”“Don’t go over there! Fights can get messy. You might get hurt!”“I won’t! Oh, no! Zach just knocked Hayden down with a left hook!”What was Zach trying to do? Anger began to fill my being, and I ran toward them. Hayden was wearing black, and without thinking, I jumped in front of him to shield him. “Zach, that’s enough!”Zach must have swung at me because I felt the wind rush past my ear. Hayden wrapped his arms around me to protect me. However, that punch from Zach did not land on me.He breathed heavily and said, “Cassia, you’re having my babies, yet you’re with Hayden—”“After the babies are born, I’ll give them to the Gordon family. Whether they let you see the babies is another matter. If you want kids, you can have one with Cecilia.” I gently touched

Sophie leaned in with curiosity while I stayed close to Hayden. I was not really sure how I felt.Honestly, Zach deserved his fate for falling in love with someone like Cecilia. However, she was such a jerk.She changed her attitude faster than flipping a page. She turned on a guy who would do anything for her just like that? I wanted to slap her out of pure frustration.Then again, why should I care?I squeezed Hayden’s hand. “Let’s go. I’m tired.”Just then, I heard footsteps. Zach was approaching me.“Cassia,” he called out to me.I replied, “Your fiancee’s here. Don’t bother me.”“When’s your next check-up? I’ll go with you.”“That’s not necessary.”“I’m the father. It’s what I’m supposed to do.”I was at a loss for words. I grabbed Sophie and Hayden to keep them from jumping at him.“Why don’t you go fix your own mess?”I walked to the car and heard Cecilia calling out to me, “Cassia, let’s go for tea some time.”“Dream on, Cecilia!” Sophie snapped.I got into H

Sophie was getting ahead of herself again. Honestly, Zach was horrible, but he was also pretty unfortunate. He loved Cecilia with all his heart, and in doing so, he pushed everyone away. In the end, she betrayed him.Sophie was ecstatic on the way home. She bounced around like she was about to celebrate with fireworks. She wanted to stay at my house that night, but I said no. I did not want her to talk my ear off all night.The next day, Cecilia called me; she wanted to meet for tea. I figured that she had something to tell me. It was probably similar to what her mom had mentioned the other day. I was curious to see how heartless she really was, so I decided to go.We met at a coffee shop near my house. I had not eaten breakfast, so the moment I sat down, I started ordering food. I was so hungry that I felt like I could eat a whole cow.Cecilia was watching me closely. I pointed at the menu and told the waitress, “I’ll have a grilled chicken sandwich, onion rings, a side of
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 290
The food I ordered arrived, and the smell was amazing. Since I could not see Cecilia clearly, I could enjoy my meal. If I had to look at her face, I would not have been able to eat.The grilled chicken sandwich was delicious, and I really dug in. Meanwhile, Cecilia just sat there and watched me eat with her arms crossed. Once I was halfway full, I stopped to take a sip of water. “Did you invite me out to get rid of Zach? Your mom already came to see me a few days ago.”“Don’t say it that way. It’s not about getting rid of Zach. I know that you won’t give up on him so easily. You’re just with that doctor as a backup. You still love Zach. Cassia, I’m telling you not to miss this great opportunity. You don’t care if Zach has money or power, right? I’ve always told you that you two are perfect for each other.”“When did you ever say that?” I could not believe how shameless she was. I almost threw up my food. “If Zach heard you say that, how do you think he would feel?”“I feel like

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
