“It’s exactly what it looks like.”

“What does it look like? That she’s wearing so little as she paces around your house?”

“Mrs. Carrott, can you get Lucy to put on more clothes?” Austin said again.

“Alright,” Mrs. Carrott answered. She passed me a pair of slippers. “Ms. Freeman, let me pour you some tea.”

My focus was not on how many pieces of clothing that Lucy was wearing. I went straight to my point. “Don’t you feel that you’ve been acting too cold toward Sophie recently?”

“When was I ever passionate toward her?”

“Lance is in West City now,” I said.

“I know.”

“Do you know he’s pursuing Sophie?”

Austin was drinking tea. He looked up from his teacup, but he did not look at me.

His reaction told me that he had no idea.

“Do you know that Sophie has decided to date him?”

He blew the tea leaves aside and drank the tea. Then, he put down the teacup and told Mrs. Carrott, “This tea doesn’t taste good. Please switch to a different one next time.”

    I was a little upset, so I asked, “Does that have anything to do with you?”I hated how emotionless Austin was. Were all men this cruel toward women whom they did not love?They were not considerate at all. I gave Sophie a call on the way home. “What are you doing?” “We’re having lunch. Do you want to join us?” “What do you plan on doing in the afternoon?”“I plan to take him for a walk around the park.”“You don’t have to do that. Just come back after you finish lunch.”“What’s wrong?” “You don’t have to date Lance. There are plenty of fishes in the sea.” Some “fishes” were not suitable for us. After I went home, I ate some chicken noodle soup that Mrs. Anderson had made. I ate two full bowls. Sophie came back just as I was about to finish. She sat down at the dining table. “Mrs. Anderson, can I have a bowl of chicken noodle soup too?”“Alright.”She took my fork and stole some of my food. “What did you mean by ‘there are plenty of fishes in the sea?’” “Didn’t

    Sure enough, my phone was ringing on the coffee table. Every night, Zach would call me at around the same hour. Sometimes, I would answer, and other times, I would not. Tonight, I decided to answer his call and asked, “What’s up?”“Are the fireworks tonight beautiful?” “Are there ugly fireworks? Anyway, the doctors said I shouldn’t be looking at bright lights, so I only took a glance.” “I forgot about that.” He sounded apologetic. “You should rest earlier, then.”I ended the call, and Sophie asked, “What did he say?” “It seemed like he was trying to say something, but it turned out to be nothing.” “Zach is playing some psychological games. You need to be careful.”“It doesn’t matter how many tricks he decides to play. I can defend myself with one trick.” “What’s that?”“Ignoring him.” “Great.” I did not know if Sophie was humoring me, but I was unbothered. Sophie would return to work the day after tomorrow. Surprisingly, she was looking forward to it. She had ne

    I had already calmed down, so Zach should have as well. I waited until he finished his tea and took the cup away. “So, you came all the way just to make sure that I was okay?” He did not say anything as he lowered his head. “So, am I supposed to be touched by your actions? Or are you telling me that you care a lot about me and you’ve fallen in love with me without realizing it?” He continued to keep quiet. I was a bit tired as I looked at his black hair, and I yawned. “Zach, I’m a pregnant woman. I don’t have the energy to entertain you. I’m going to sleep, so please leave!” He finally looked up, but he seemed hurt. “I don’t know why. I saw you having a difficult birth, and I clearly knew that it was a dream. But I was drenched in cold sweat when I woke up. I was even crying. I tried to force myself back to sleep, but I could not. I just had to come over and see that you were okay.” “Now, you feel better, but you’ve interrupted my wonderful sleep and hers as well.” I tilted

    “Are you serious?” Sophie came over to lift my eyelid. “You don’t believe me when I tell you the truth. You don’t believe me when I lie either.” I was exhausted, so I turned over.“Sigh. Love is so complicated. I’d rather be a dog.”“Do you think dogs don’t have lovers?”“D*mn… Dogs have lovers? I’m so pitiful.”Losing faith in love and longing for it because of one man was terrible. Hence, I did not want to end up doing that.I would focus on my love once I had the babies and pulled myself together. Then, I would go all in for him.Wait for me, Hayden.Mary came over the next day, and she casually mentioned that Zach had caught a cold.“I don’t know what happened, but he suddenly got sick. He was feverish and coughing when I brought him some soup this morning. He hasn’t been sick in years.”“If he’s sick, he should see a doctor.” I drank the soup that Mary had brought. “The beans in this are really sweet.”“Go ahead and eat more if they’re good.”“Zach and Tyler’s fight w

    Sophie went back to work after New Year’s. She brought a bunch of gifts for the company staff while I stayed at home to rest.Zach had not shown up in the last few days. I heard that his cold was quite severe. He also had a high fever, so he was sent to the hospital. It was rare for him to visit the hospital, but I had no plans on visiting him.There were a lot of germs in hospitals. Since I was pregnant, I needed to stay safe.Later, Hayden called to inform me that Zach’s cold had turned into pneumonia. He was currently in the special care unit.He was an adult, but he somehow got pneumonia from a cold. It was even worse that he ended up in special care.“Aren’t you a surgeon? Why are you involved with internal medicine?” I asked.“Yulia’s in charge of internal medicine now. I saw Zach’s name in her records and went to check on him.”“Oh.” Yulia was that cool doctor. I had forgotten about her.“Anyway, could you help me send him some flowers?” I said. “I can’t visit him. W

    [He’s handsome, but that’s not enough to make me give in.]I was not going to run outside in the cold just because Zach wanted to see me. It was the middle of the night.After a while, Zach texted me. [Where are you?]I replied, [In bed. I’m not coming out, no matter where you are.] Soon after, the security guard called and told me that Zach’s car was parked outside our garden gate. He asked if he should let him in.“Remember that Zach’s been permanently blacklisted,” I said.The guard did not say anything else. In the end, I did not go outside, and Zach could not get in. He did not get to see me that night. The next morning, the guard told me that Zach had waited outside for two hours before leaving. As a result, his condition got worse.His fever, which had gone down, came back stronger and lasted even longer.Hailey called me out of the blue. They were supposed to sign an important contract on Monday, but Zach was too sick to do it. The other party was getting impatient

    I opened the box, and all the random things I used to keep were inside—the stone Zach had once thrown away, the dried ginkgo leaves I had picked up on a path, the old hair tie, and other little trinkets. They were not worth anything. I was the only one who ever thought they were special.After I threw the box into the trash, Zach must have taken it back and locked it in his office drawer.Was I touched?Not at all.I put the box back and locked the drawer. After I found Franklin’s contract, I left Zach’s office. Hailey glanced at it and said, “This is the one.”“Okay,” I said. “Book a restaurant and send Franklin the address. I’ll head there first.”“Ms. Freeman, why don’t I go with you? You’re pretty far along.”“Sure.”“I’ll get ready. Give me a minute.” She then pointed at my old office. “Your office is still there. Mr. Gordon never lets anyone touch it, but we clean it every day. You could sit in there for a while.”“That’s not necessary. Go ahead and get ready.”Thro

    “You made me sit here for over half an hour, and I’m pregnant. Is this how you treat your friend?”“Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you. Cassia, I really do see you as a friend. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have continued my business with Yonder Trading. While we’ve worked together for years, your price isn’t exactly the lowest. Other companies have offered me lower prices recently. Why should I spend more money?”“Really? You’re in the import-export business, but you’re still trying to be cheap? Aren’t you worried that one of these new companies could mess up your goods? You won’t be able to recover them.” I took a bite of the steak. It was so tender and juicy.“That kind of thing happens once in a hundred years. I’m not that unlucky.”“You get what you pay for. Don’t you know that?”“Cassia, I’m telling you this because we’re friends. Zach doesn’t deserve you. We can’t stand seeing you running around helping him while being pregnant.”“We?” I paused and put down my fork. “Frankli

    I switched seats in the hall three times, but Cecilia stuck to me like glue. I could not get rid of her.By the time Zach finished his interview and came over, she was still challenging me. “Cassia, it doesn’t matter how much you do for Zach. Even if you give him everything, including your heart, he’ll come back to me as soon as I smile at him,” she said.Just then, Zach appeared next to our table. Cecilia kept going, as she was completely caught up in her own delusions.I looked up at Zach and said with a smile, “When did you become a butcher who took hearts?”Since he showed up, I took the chance to escape. I stood up and said, “Well, Zach’s here. Cecilia, why don’t you charm him and give him that smile you were talking about?”Then, I quickly slipped away. All evening, she had been annoying me like a fly. It totally ruined my appetite.I found a quiet spot and placed my food on the table. As soon as I sat down, Zach came over and sat across from me. I looked behind him and

    When Zach saw Wilson Corporation’s bid, he tossed it aside. This meant that it had been eliminated.Wilson Corporation did not have enough funding, so they would not make it to the next round. If they could not keep up in terms of cash flow, it would delay the whole project.However, it would not be fun to eliminate them in the first round.I picked up Wilson Corporation’s bid again. Austin looked at me and asked, “What are you doing?”“Just having some fun.”Wilson Corporation would not make it to the final round anyway. At least, they could enjoy making it to the next round.When the names of the qualified companies were announced, Cecilia’s expression was strange. She looked both nervous and confident at the same time. It was like she had a split personality.The moment Zach read Wilson Corporation’s name, Cecilia quickly stood up and turned to me.I saw pride, satisfaction, and joy in her gaze.She raised her chin as she walked up to receive the bid from Zach. She was acti

    There was nonstop clicking from the cameras, and their flashes were so bright that they almost made my eyes water.Just then, Zach handed me a pair of glasses. I put it on, and another reporter asked, “There’s a rumor that Zach was recently fired from Gordon Corporation’s board? Is it true?”Tyler laughed. He looked at Zach and then at me before he said, “You just said that it was a rumor, right?”I scanned the crowd and quickly spotted Cecilia. Her face was pale, and it looked like she was about to cry.At this point, she should realize that Zach had not been fired. He was not the nobody she thought he was.He was still the same Zach. In fact, he was even better. While he was away from the spotlight, Zach set Yonder Trading up for the next five years. Even without Gordon Corporation, he could still succeed in the business world with Yonder Trading.Cecilia was dumbfounded, but it did not seem like she could cry. It was almost funny.Her attitude had been completely different

    Cecilia walked toward me in her high heels. “Cassia, you’re acting like a saint again. When Zach’s career fell apart four years ago, you stayed with him for three years. Now, you’re getting back with him again? You love him that much, huh? I’m telling you that Zach is a lost cause. No matter what you do, he’s not going to make a comeback unless you hand over Freeman Corporation to him. Other people date for fun, but you? You’re ready to risk everything for him.”“Cecilia.” I looked her straight in the eye. “That’s enough. No matter what, Zach used to be completely devoted to you. Not only have you dumped him, but you’re trash-talking him behind his back.”“Behind his back? I’d say the same thing to his face.” Cecilia raised her chin. “Sure, Zach loved me, but I don’t want some lovesick fool. It doesn’t matter that he turned against the Gordon family for me. Did I ask him to? If his life is a mess now, it’s his own fault.”“His fault is falling in love with you.”Cecilia smiled smug

    The past few days had been particularly hectic. The signing of the Cameron Hill project was around the corner, and we were going to open for tender on the signing day. Once the project began, we would subcontract to many construction companies. We had a few construction companies under Freeman Corporation. However, it was going to be hard for us to tackle such a big project on our own. Hence, we needed to look for subcontractors. Doing both the signing and the tendering on the same day was a first in the industry. Actually, I did not want to rush things like that, but Austin wanted to be quick. He was afraid that his body would give up on him. Meanwhile, I was afraid that I would accidentally tell Sophie the truth one day. Sophie could not make it to the signing. She could not walk well, and she was basically resting. We had released the news about the tender a few days ago, and I had received tenders from many companies. Wilson Corporation was one of them. I glanced at the

    While I was staring at Lucy’s photo, my father called me. He and my mother had been away for a really long trip. They left when it was winter, and it was already spring, but they were still not back. My father said, “The proposal that you sent me regarding Cameron Hill is very detailed. I think it’s a good project. You can sign on my behalf.” “Dad, are you guys not coming back yet?”“You’re good at your job. I feel at ease when you’re in charge.” “Dad, don’t forget that my baby’s due in two months.” “Well, aren’t there two months left, then?” I was speechless. My father was trying to make use of me until the day I gave birth. He seemed to be in a good mood. Yesterday, my mother called and told me that Aunt Lauren and her husband were feeling much better than before. It was especially so after they learned that Sophie had gotten into a relationship. Before I ended the call, my father gave me some encouraging words, “Oscar called me yesterday and praised you for being a

    Rachel really liked the pastries that Kingston had bought. “I’ve never had such good food before,” she said.She was always surprised by our food, as she grew up overseas with a different type of cuisine. Zach had promised to finish building the castle with Rachel, so I sent her to Yonder Trading in the morning. I held her hand as we walked into his office. He had just finished laying the game mat on the floor. Rachel ran over to him happily. “Zach!” Zach immediately carried her and lifted her over his head. Rachel giggled. She was usually quite lonely, so she loved to spend time with us adults. After I dropped her off, Zach passed me a folder. “It’s about Lucy.” He was extremely quick in his investigation. I took the folder and only found a few pages inside.Lucy was not originally from West City. Instead, she came from East City. It turned out that she had taken her mother’s last name.Her mother was a lounge singer, and there were a few old photos of her in the

    “Hush.” I held my finger up to my lips. “Stop being so noisy. He’s still sleeping.”“Cassia, can you add more people to your list of blacklisted guests? Austin, that dog—” “Shut up,” I chastised her before she could finish her sentence. However, Austin had already woken up and sat up from the sofa bed. He patted his numb arm as he said to Sophie, “At first, Lucy was sleeping here too, but your snores got too loud, so she went to the other room. I’m still here because I fell asleep. I wasn’t interested in staying up to listen to your snoring.” Sophie threw a throw pillow at him. She used too much force, so Austin toppled over after being hit. She laughed. “Austin, you’re such a loser. Are you made out of glass? Why are you falling over after such a light throw?” Austin slowly walked out of the room, and Sophie scowled as he left. Then, she lay down again. I picked up the throw pillow and tossed it back to her. “Can you be gentler next time?”“Why?”“I know you’re athletic

    Rachel had already fallen asleep. So, I went downstairs for a glass of lemon water. Kingston happened to walk out of Sophie’s room too. He carefully shut the door, and I asked, “Is Sophie asleep?”“Yes.” Kingston laughed and said, “I was telling her a bedtime story, and she dozed off.”He had such patience to even tell Sophie a bedtime story. I could see how much he liked her. If Austin were not in the picture, I would be very happy to see their relationship progress. However, I was the one who had introduced Kingston to Sophie. Whenever I thought about Austin, I felt bad. “Have a safe drive home.”“Don’t worry. It’s just a short drive.” He kindly helped me down the stairs. “Oh, Sophie wants some pastries for breakfast tomorrow. What would you like to eat? I could buy some for you.” “She’s asking you to buy her breakfast? Don’t waste your energy. I can get the driver to buy it or just order delivery. You don’t have to trouble yourself.”“It’s no trouble at all. Sophie did
