I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 310
Sophie had her friend look up Lucy’s background and send it to us.Lucy’s story was pretty simple.Her mom, Jane Lynch, had passed away. She had worked in a lot of different places, mostly ones where she used her looks.Her dad was unknown. He had never been in her life since she was born.She had no siblings and not many friends. She came to West City earlier this year to work as a model. It was unclear how she met Austin, but she seemed to have pursued him on her own.The file did not reveal much. The only clear thing was that Lucy had no one to take care of her. She was completely alone. She could either keep the baby or have an abortion.At just seventeen, having a baby would ruin her future.We sat in my garden. After reading the file, Sophie sighed. “No one ever took care of her. That’s why she turned into a troubled girl.”Sophie sounded almost sympathetic.Even though Sophie seemed tough, she was actually very kind-hearted and caring.“She’s kind of pitiful, being on

I was a little hesitant to speak up. He said indifferently, “If you feel that it’s inconvenient, I’ll find someone else to accompany her to get her abortion done.” Austin was basically admitting that the child was his by saying that. I could not see, but I guessed that Sophie’s face must be ashen. Austin had said so himself, so that was enough evidence that the child was his. Austin was always very cold toward others. There must be a reason why he was so concerned about Lucy. I did not know what to say. Sophie suddenly stood up and walked out of Austin’s office. I did not know if I should stop her, so I stood up too. Austin continued slowly, “She’s fine, don’t worry.” “Austin, you…” I licked my dried lips. “Don’t you feel that you’re…”“I can’t be seen with Lucy. I plan to take over Cameron Hill, so my reputation is really important. Sophie will be fine after being angry for a while. After her anger is over, get her to bring Lucy to do the surgery.” “You know that Sophie

She had already cried and ranted. She hugged me and swore through gritted teeth, “I won’t ever care about him again. I want to cut him out of my life! What a jerk!” However, after she swore that, she still got into action. She called Lucy after she got into the car and said coldly, “Send your location to me and stay there until I arrive.”I shook my head in disapproval. Sophie used to tell me that I had unconditional love for Zach. Was she not the same? We drove to pick Lucy up. She also seemed like she knew that no one would care about her if she continued being rude. Hence, she hung her head low. “If you don’t care about me, I’ll kill myself.” Sophie did not answer her. Instead, she gave Brent a call. “Hey, what do you think about taking another life since you’ve killed so many?” We took Lucy to Brent’s hospital and told her the plan while we were in the car. I said, “Even though you’re not eighteen yet, you’re already a functional adult. You should know what will b

We brought Lucy to complete the paperwork first. Before we left Brent’s office, he asked me, “Cassia, do I look old?”I laughed, “I can’t even see.” Brent was around our age. He was quite accomplished for a 26-year-old.After we completed Lucy’s paperwork and signed the agreement, she was ready for the surgery.She was very nervous. Her bratty behavior was gone.She tightly grabbed Sophie. “I’m scared. Can you accompany me?” “Get lost!” Sophie yelled. “I’m afraid I’ll kill you if I go in.” “I’m scared.” Lucy suddenly started crying. It was only then that I felt that she was truly a seventeen-year-old girl.“What are you afraid of? Didn’t Brent just say that it’s not going to be painful?” “Sophie, can you accompany me?” She turned to Sophie. “Get lost!” “Sophie,” Lucy started sobbing. “My mom died from an abortion.”“Stop lying!” “It’s true. My mom was having her boyfriend’s baby, but that man wouldn’t marry my mom. She had no choice but to abort the baby. However, s

After half an hour, Sophie came out of the operating room. I could roughly tell that her face was pale, as if she was the one who got the abortion. “Where’s Lucy?”“She’s still under general anesthesia. She will only wake up after an hour. Initially, they wanted to give her partial anesthesia, but she was too afraid and she was moving around a lot.” “Oh.”She sat down next to me. “Cassia, do you want to go back first? I think I’ll still have to wait for a while.”“It’s fine, I have nothing to do at home anyway.” I grabbed Sophie’s hands. They were extremely cold. We remained silent. We had nothing left to say. I was at a loss for words. I hoped my company brought some comfort to Sophie. I could truly empathize with what she was feeling. No one could judge a person in love. When you truly loved a person, you would lower your boundaries and do things that no one else would understand. Even though you clearly knew that you were wrong, you still could not stop yourself.

She had already made her oath, so it was too late.I sighed and left the hospital with her. Sophie was a woman of her word. Once she had made her decision, she would not regret it. I got Mr. Pepper to send her to the cafe. I asked her if she needed me to accompany her. She declined my offer. “I’m fine. It’s not a break-up. I already know how this one-sided love is going to end. It’s the same as you.”Why did she bring my past up when she was talking about herself? I sent her to the shop entrance, and Mr. Pepper walked her in. After a while, Mr. Pepper came out and told me, “Ms. Sophie’s looking okay.” “Alright.” Maybe it was like what she had said. She had already predicted the ending. A was just a matter of time before it happened, so she had mentally prepared herself for that. I went back home. My mood was low when I leaned my back against the car seat. I hoped Sophie could get together with Austin. Sophie had liked Austin for so many years, her efforts had to be rewa

Hayden’s hands were really cold. I shivered from the sensation. I was very relieved that I could not see clearly, so I did not have to see Hayden’s hurt expression. I took my hand out from Hayden’s palm and grabbed the cup again. The milk had cooled down. Sophie walked over to take our cooled drinks. She poked me with her elbow. “Say something. You should be more decisive if you want to cut it off. Don’t give him any false hope.” Sophie was right. I opened my mouth, but before I could say anything, Hayden said, “Cassia, I will let you go. I know you’ve tried your best.”“Um, I’m not a doctor, and you’re not a patient.” “It’s difficult for you to forget Zach, and it’s hard for you to accept anyone else. I was too optimistic.” He looked down. The breeze ruffled his thick, dark locks. It was my fault, but he was apologizing instead. Actually, it had nothing to do with Zach anymore. I just wanted enough time to get myself back on my feet after giving birth to the babies

Hayden was not interested in arguing. “Cassia, I’m leaving. Your checkup with Dr. Walter is at 9 a.m. tomorrow,” he quickly said without looking at Zach.“Okay.”“She won’t forget. I’ll go with her,” Zach said.Hayden left, and I looked up at Zach. “Was he talking to you? Zach, I already told you. I don’t need you to tag along.”“I’ll come by your place to pick you up tomorrow morning.”“My dad will break your legs if he sees you.”“Perfect. We can both receive treatment at the hospital.” Was he joking? Did he think that was funny? It was not.I went inside, and Zach followed me. I turned to Sophie and said, “Close the door and let the dogs loose.”“I don’t have any dogs.”“Then, get some.”I walked into the coffee shop while Sophie blocked Zach from entering any further.“Zach, are you out of your mind? You and Cassia have nothing to do with each other anymore. When she had feelings for you, you ignored her. Now that you’ve broken up, you keep showing up. What’s going o

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
