I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 289
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

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

Mr. Pepper entered just in time to help me out of the restaurant. Cecilia was too busy paying the bill to chase after me.Every time I spent time with Cecilia, she managed to shock me with her shamelessness.I believed that she did not break up with Zach right away because he had given everything up for her. She was probably worried that he might get angry and hurt her if she suddenly dumped him.These situations happened all the time, not just in romantic movies but also in real life.As I got into the car, I heard Cecilia shouting my name, “Cassia! You’ve always wanted Zach, and now, I’m giving him to you. Don’t you want him?” Back when she asked me to give her Zach, she said something similar. He was like an item to her.I told Mr. Pepper, “Drive.” The car took off and left Cecilia far behind. Right then, I stuck my finger into my ears. After I listened to her ridiculous comments, my ears felt like they were full of wax.On the way, I received a call from Mary. She told me

Eloise was hooked up to an IV, and I stayed with her for a while. The medicine must have made her sleepy because she dozed off mid-conversation. Once she was asleep, I tucked her in and quietly slipped out of the room.Mary was no longer outside. I only saw Mr. Pepper.“Where’s Mary?”“I’m not sure where she went.”I wanted to say goodbye. ‘Should I wait for her?’Since we were at Hayden’s hospital, I figured that I would look for him while I waited.Holding on to the rail in the hallway, I walked forward. “Mr. Pepper, you can wait here. I’ll go up to the sixth floor by myself.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, I’ll be fine. There are handrails, and I can see a bit now.”Eventually, I got to the stairwell, and the elevator was just ahead.Suddenly, I heard Mary’s voice from the stairwell. “Your grandma’s fine. You need to take care of yourself out here. It’s not like home.”“Cassia’s here too?” I soon heard Zach’s voice as well.“Yes. She’s been with Eloise for a while. I need to g

“Don’t talk if you have nothing to say, then.” I tried to walk out. However, Zach suddenly grabbed my arm. “Cassia.”“Enough already!” I was incredibly annoyed. As I shook him off in anger, I hit my hand on the iron railing. It hurt a lot.I rubbed my hand in response. Zach was bad luck; nothing good ever happened when he was around.“Cassia, let me see your hand.” He came closer to grab my hand, but I pulled away.The more we struggled, the more it hurt. I finally stopped resisting and allowed him to examine my hand.“Are you done looking at it? Should I chop it off and give it to you as a keepsake?” I said, Then, I retracted my hand. My wrist had to be swollen at this point.“I’ll take you to get some ointment.”“No, thanks. My boyfriend is a doctor. I can just go to him.”“Cassia,” he uttered my name softly. There was something different in his slightly shaky voice.Why was there a hint of sadness?Oh, I got it. Given how sensitive Zach was, he probably realized that C

I pretended that Zach did not exist. I was sure he was losing it. The woman he loved deeply no longer treated him the same. His change in status also made others treat him differently. So, yeah, his mind was probably all messed up.What a shame. He used to be a business legend.He ended up like this after he threw it all away for a woman.When I stepped out of the hospital, Mr. Pepper hesitated before he said, “Ms. Freeman, maybe you could wait here at the entrance while I get the car?”“Sure, go ahead.”Mr. Pepper then went to the underground parking lot, and I waited by the flowerbed outside. It was the first day in winter that the temperature was below zero. As such, I was shivering from the cold.Suddenly, Zach put his coat over my shoulders.I did not like accepting favors out of the blue. So, I shrugged and let his coat slide right off.“That’s not necessary. Mr. Pepper will be here in a few minutes. I won’t freeze to death in that span of time.”“Just wear it.” He p

I knew a quiet place where we could easily talk.“Sure,” Mrs. Smith replied.Mr. Pepper drove to the entrance and helped me out of the car. “You can eat here and wait for me,” I told him.“It’s okay.” Mr. Pepper shook his head. “It’s too expensive here. I’ll eat somewhere else.”I did not force him. He probably would not like the food there anyway.After that, Mrs. Smith and I entered a private room. I asked if it was okay to order a set meal, and she said, “It’s fine.”I knew that she was not there for the food alone. She wanted to talk to me.The friendly owner brought us tea and served some side dishes and cold appetizers. She then told us that the set meal would take a little longer.I offered Mrs. Smith some tea, but she did not drink any. Although I could not see clearly, I could tell that she was not smiling.I guessed that Hayden had already told her about us. Even if we never bumped into each other, she had probably planned to speak to me.Once I put my cup down, Mrs

I almost bit down on my fork. However, Mrs. Smith did not touch her fork and just continued to stare at me.The owner finally came over with the food. She set up a small grill and put some beef on it.She was about to start grilling for us, but Mrs. Smith said, “We’ll do it ourselves.”“You won’t be able to control the heat properly,” the owner said with a smile.“If it burns, it’s on us,” Mrs. Smith said coldly.The owner’s smile faded, and she quickly left after putting all the food down.Mrs. Smith was tougher than she appeared. She had a kind face, but she would stick to her principles and refuse to back down.She placed the meat on the grill with tongs. It sizzled, and the smell was amazing.At the same time, she said, “Ms. Freeman, if you’re just trying to find a father for your babies, your best option would be your ex-husband, right? You were just with him.”“I’m sure you could tell from our interaction earlier that our relationship isn’t great.”Mrs. Smith cut the co

He was clearly showing off his wealth, so why did I suddenly feel sad?Maybe my pregnancy hormones were acting up.Somehow, I ended up going to the police station. On the way, Rachel gave me a call. “Cassia, when are you picking me up?”I had completely forgotten about her because of Lucy. I could only ask Zach to take Rachel to my house.Zach said, “I’m still blacklisted by your security.”Oh, right. He could not get past my gate. “Just watch Rachel for now. I’ll pick her up later,” I replied.“Got it. Don’t worry about her.”He did not ask why, and I did not explain.We were not friends or a couple, so there was no need for details.When I arrived at the police station, I saw Austin staring out the window.I walked over and cleared my throat. He finally turned to look at me.Maybe it was because he was so pale, but his eyes were pitch black—they looked like an endless and starless night.“The value of your jewelry is too high. You’ll have to drop the charges for Lucy to b

“There are a few places.” He turned to look at me. “I’ll find out for you. What got stolen?”I showed him a photo. I knew what jewelry Mrs. Gibson had referred to. They were very expensive gifts from Mary, and you could not just buy them at any store. But if Lucy tried to sell them, she would only get a regular amount of money.Zach looked at the photo and nodded. “Got it. I’ll get them back for you.”“Bring me the thief too.”“Okay.”Zach acted quickly. After lunch, he took Rachel to his office, and I returned to mine. Before long, his assistant, Novan, brought Lucy in.She looked angry and acted as if she was not worried. She probably thought that I would not do anything to her.Anyway, Novan placed my diamond necklace and earrings on the table.Lucy was defiant, and she tried to sit in the chair in front of my desk. I gave Novan a look, and he quickly kicked it away. As a result, Lucy fell to the floor.“Ouch!” she complained as she got up. “Cassia, you—”Before she could

Zach helped Rachel with the Legos until Sophie came to get us for the pizza buffet. “What’s going on here?” she asked in surprise.“It’s exactly what it looks like.”“When did he get here?”“After 9 a.m., I think.”“Is Yonder Trading closed or something? Why is he so free?”I rolled my eyes and helped Rachel put on her jacket. “We’re going for lunch.”Rachel did not want to stop. “But I want to keep building.”“Have a break. You can continue later. Let’s eat first.”“Mr. Gordon.” She called me “Cassia” but called Zach “Mr. Gordon.” I wondered why.“Can you play with me this afternoon?”“Probably not. I have paperwork to do,” Zach said.“I knew it! You can only play with me for a little while. Adults only stay in my life for a short time.”Sophie laughed so hard that she could not stand up straight.“He only spent a couple of hours with you. That’s even less than a short time.” I tied her scarf around her and said, “I’ll play with you this afternoon.”“But your belly’s t

Benjamin was caught off guard. But then, he smiled and shook her hand. “Nice to meet you. I’m Benjamin Lowe. You can call me Mr. Lowe.”I told him, “Can you buy some books and toys, like Legos, for her? She’ll be around quite frequently.”“Sure.” He then glanced awkwardly at the soup on the table. “Mr. Gordon brought this in early this morning.”“Drink it or toss it. Just don’t bring it in next time.” I took Rachel’s hand and walked into my office.There was a couch and a coffee table in the corner of my huge office. Benjamin quickly returned with the toys and books. He even got a playmat, so Rachel could sit on it and play. He piled everything on the table.Whenever I was not busy, I would play with her for a bit and tell her a story or two. Most of the time, she would play quietly by herself.Rachel was sharp but also so sweet that she tugged at my heartstrings. For example, when I said that I would spend more time with her, she told me, “You should work. Don’t waste time on

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
