I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 327
My mom let out a long sigh.I knew that she was worried I would get hurt again. Everything I had gone through for Zach had worn me down, and it hurt them to watch.However, did they really think I was that foolish?I was going to the clinic for vision therapy today. Since Oliver did not have classes, he offered to tag along. The clinic was nearby, and the weather was great, so I did not ask Mr. Pepper to drive us. Oliver and I just slowly walked over the yellow leaves on the path.As we held hands, I was suddenly reminded of the time when we were kids. We used to walk hand in hand, and Oliver would say, “Be my girlfriend, Cassia! Let’s get married!”I would laugh and say, “Two years ago, you wanted to marry Mom. Now, it’s me. Can’t you find someone outside our family for once?”“Does that mean Sophie’s out too?”“Why don’t you ask her?”This kid, who used to say such silly things, was all grown up. I could not see the top of his head unless I jumped.Oliver’s hand was big an

A gentle breeze blew and lifted the bangs that covered my eyes. I looked over Oliver’s shoulder and saw Zach standing nearby. He was wearing a black coat and staring at us with his hands in his pockets.He was so close. He must have heard me say that I would rather marry a donkey than get back with him.Why was he here so early in the morning? Was it a coincidence, or was it on purpose?When Oliver let go of my hand, he saw Zach too. I could feel him clench his fist, so I patted him on the hand. “Let’s head to the clinic.”We continued walking while Zach followed us from a distance.After a few steps, Oliver could not take it in anymore. “What is he doing? Has he been following you around like this recently?”“The road is wide. We can’t be the only ones walking.”Zach had only fought with Cecilia the day before. I did not expect him to be following me today.I thought that he would be a drunk mess and passed out on the street.However, he looked fine. His clothes were neat

“Cassia, why don’t you come with me?”“Why would I go to college with you?”“You can sit in on the class, and I’ll introduce you to my classmate.”“Stop it.”In the end, I gave in and agreed to go to college with Oliver.Mr. Pepper drove us from the main gate, and Zach was standing on the roadside. As we passed him, the wind lifted the hem of his coat. Even though he was a grown man, he looked strangely beautiful in a sad way.Zach and I attended the same college, but I had not been on campus in years. We were always together from kindergarten through college.Sophie always said that I was completely oblivious in college. I did not know how many classmates I had or if they were male or female. All I cared about was Zach. When it came to my studies, I just went with the flow.She made it sound like I only lived for Zach until I turned twenty-five.I quietly followed Oliver into the lecture hall. Luckily, it was big enough for no one to notice me.Oliver studied law, but he d

At noon, Oliver took me to the cafeteria for lunch. After what just happened, he no longer introduced me to that classmate who had a crush on me.He had forgotten that I was pregnant and had probably overestimated my attractiveness.Besides that fool Hayden, no one would want to date a pregnant woman.Anyway, I got a taste of campus life again. After our meal, we walked around the sports field. When some people started playing basketball, Oliver got worried that a stray ball might hit me. As such, we stopped walking.When we got home, I lay in bed and watched a news video on my phone. I heard the reporter say, “Cecilia Wilson, the heiress of Wilson Corporation, gave an interview today. According to her, she wasn’t cheating. She and Zach Gordon had broken up, but Zach couldn’t accept it and kept bothering her.”I closed the video and put my phone on the bedside table.Zach’s feelings had gone to waste. Cecilia ended up dumping him.I wondered what Zach was thinking. He seemed fin

“Help me pack a few things,” I told Mrs. Anderson. “I’m going with Sophie.”Although I was incredibly pregnant, everyone knew that anything involving Sophie also involved me. No one could stop me.So, Mrs. Anderson went to gather my things in tears. I grabbed a small suitcase, and Oliver took it from me. “The rest of you should go to the hospital. I’ll head straight to Sophie’s place,” I told him.“Alright.”“Cassia.” My mom held my hand. “Be careful and look out for Sophie. I know you’re pregnant, and I’m worried about you, but…”“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll be fine, and I’ll make sure that we bring Bryce’s body home.”My mom started crying, but I did not. The bigger the crisis, the less I felt like crying. I had too much to focus on, and there was no time to cry.When I got to Sophie’s place, she had just finished packing a big suitcase. She had her back to me, and I saw her struggling to lift it.“Sophie,” I called out to her.She dragged the suitcase to me and took my hand.

Just then, Austin called, so I went back inside to pick up the phone.He asked, “Have you guys reached Malaysia?”“Yes, we have.”“I’ll come over later.”“It’s okay. Zach came with us. You can handle things at Sophie’s place.”Austin hesitated and asked, “Sophie… How is she?”I looked out through the glass door at the harbor lights. I could only see Sophie’s silhouette. She was sitting in a wicker chair and eating the bread slowly.“She’s okay for now.” That was all I could say.“She’ll be fine until Bryce’s funeral is over.”We both knew Sophie. It was not time for her to break down yet.“Do you want to talk to her?”“No, it’s okay.” Austin hung up.I went over to the glass door and observed Sophie from a distance.Right then, I saw the reflection of another person in the glass. It was Zach.He was standing and smoking on his room’s terrace.It was strange. My vision suddenly seemed clearer, and I could see the smoke from his cigarette.I wondered what he was thinking.

I stayed on the terrace until it was late at night. As the wind blew, Zach draped a shawl over my shoulders. He then stood to the side to watch me. I could tell that he was looking, but what for? In the past, he never paid attention to me, even when I looked my best.By the time I returned to the room, Sophie was asleep. The towel was still on her eyes, so I took it off.The front of the towel was dry from the air conditioning, but the side on her eyes was still wet.I lay down beside Sophie and held her arm as I rested my head on her shoulder.The next morning, Zach knocked on the door and woke me up. Sophie was still asleep when I opened it.Zach looked at me. “Why are your eyes swollen?”I touched my eyes, and they were indeed swollen. “It’s nothing,” I said. “Is the boat here?”“Yeah. We’re leaving at 9:30 a.m.”“I’ll wake Sophie up.”I closed the door softly and tapped Sophie gently to wake her up.She had never taken sleeping pills, so they worked well for her. It t

There was a large beach behind the tourist center. Many of the victims’ families were kneeling on the rocks. They were calling out to the sea and hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately, miracles did not always happen. No one on the ferry survived, not even the captain.Sophie leaned on me, and I held her trembling hand.We waited from day to night, and eventually, Bryce’s body was recovered.This time, I was the one who had to identify the body. Sophie had already used all her courage when she identified Luna’s body.Zach helped me slowly walk on the sand. It was very dark, and there was no power on the beach, only a few temporary shelters with lights and cooling from generators. The bodies could not be handled until the families identified them. The temperature in Melaka was very high.Inside the identification shelter, it was freezing cold, like being in a completely different world from the warm beach.The bodies were laid on mats, surrounded by large blocks of ice. Two powerfu

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
