I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 387
The road was quite bumpy when we drove into the outskirts. Austin mumbled to himself in the front passenger seat, “We have to fix this road. We didn’t add the cost to the budget.” “A businessman’s mindset,” Sophie grumbled. I realized that regardless of what Austin said, Sophie would have something to comment. Unreciprocated love could really change a woman. It was upsetting. As we neared Cameron Hill, we could no longer drive in. We could only stop our car on the side of the road. It was undeveloped. Freeman Corporation had been quite interested in this hill before. However, it was located at the intersection point of West City and Lynx City. So, it did not fully belong to either one of the cities. It only got sorted out recently, and Zach sensed that it could be a good business opportunity. Sophie supported me as I got out of the car. I then looked up at the hilltop. Cameron Hill was made up of two continuous hills, and a large area was covered in pine trees. Even in earl

The hill was not too tall, so we reached the peak very fast. However, the longitudinal distance was huge, so it would take a really long time to reach the other side. Sophie pointed at the hilltop and said, “We could build a roller coaster around the hill. It would be very exciting. It would be the most unique roller coaster in the entire country. She was an adrenaline junkie. Back in high school, Zach would be the only person to accompany her on such rides in the theme park. Austin had a heart condition, so he could not go on the rides. As for me, I believed that I would develop a heart condition if I went on them. I looked in the direction that she was pointing at. “Please, you’d probably be the only one who’d dare to go on that roller coaster.” “Who says that? There’s a roller coaster overseas that’s built around a hill. A lot of people have gone on that ride.” “Well, that’s in another country.” I was scared just thinking about it. “We can set up a bungee jumping stati

Zach squatted before me to dry my hair and face with a towel. I was not very wet, but Zach and Austin were completely soaked.I looked at Austin, who was so pale that his lips had no color.“You’re weak, so don’t try to put on a tough front,” Sophie complained, even after she received his help. She was incredibly ungrateful. Just then, I sneezed again.“We should go to the hospital. You and Austin need to get checked,” Zach said.“It’s just a little rain,” Austin said flatly. “I’m not going to die.”“Hah, if he dies from a little rain, that’ll be impressive.”I elbowed her. “Can you shut up already?”The rain stopped after a while. By the time Mr. Pepper drove us back into the city, the sun was shining.“Seriously?” Sophie groaned. “Was this on purpose? My hair’s still wet, but the sun’s already out.”Zach insisted that we visit the hospital, but I was fine. The doctor examined me and said that everything was okay. I could have some ginger tea at home to prevent a cold.Aus

Not long after Cecilia went in, Zach came back with the medicine. “Let’s go,” he said.“There’s no rush.” Sophie smiled.“What’s wrong?”“We’re just watching something.”She was incredibly nosy. Just as I got up, Sophie pulled me back down. “Why are you in a hurry? We’re not going back to the office anyway.”I was not as curious about Cecilia’s situation as she was. However, I wanted to see Zach’s reaction, so I might as well watch. With that, I sat down and said to Zach, “Let’s stay for a while.”He had no idea what we were waiting for. Meanwhile, Austin had disappeared. He sent us a message saying that he had to leave for something important.Sophie rolled her eyes. “He’s busy. Someone’s waiting for him at home.”“Stop being bitter.” I looked up and suddenly saw Fame walking down the hallway.Seeing how eager he was, Sophie and I exchanged looks.We both guessed what was happening. Was Cecilia pregnant?Fame had a few obsessions. He loved beautiful women, expensive cars,

Zach held my arm and walked out of the hospital without looking back.Mr. Pepper was waiting for us outside. Zach sat in the front, while I sat in the back.Sophie kept trying to figure out if Zach was upset. She got frustrated when she could not tell. “Zach’s so good at holding it in. If it were me, I would’ve punched Fame right on the spot,” she whispered.“Fame’s been like that ever since we were in school.” Zach had overheard her. “He’s just all talk. He can’t do much.”That was true, and Zach was not in a difficult situation as Fame had thought.Zach was just pretending to be out of the Gordon family, hence he was unaffected.I knew that Fame’s comment did not bother him. But how did he feel about Cecilia having Fame’s baby? That had to affect him a little. Yet, he hid it well.Even if Zach had moved on, seeing Cecilia have another man’s child must have hurt him slightly. Perhaps he might break down alone one night.“He deserves it,” Sophie whispered to me.Cecilia di

Sophie immediately turned pale. She quickly hung up and threw her phone onto the bed. “I never should’ve called. I just embarrassed myself.”I sighed. “At least figure out whose bed Austin is actually in.” “What’s there to figure out? Lucy answered his phone, and he was in bed. They were obviously together, so does it even matter whose bed it is?”When she put it that way, I guessed it did not.The next day, we had a meeting. Since it was at Freeman Corporation, Timothy came instead of Zach.We waited forever, but Austin did not show up. This time, I called him myself since Sophie was still upset about last night.Lucy picked up again, and I kept my voice low. “Put Austin on.” “He’s still tired from last night.” Lucy giggled. “We went at it so many times.”Luckily, I was the one on the phone. Sophie would have lost it.I snapped and lectured her, “Lucy, you’re only eighteen. Don’t you have any shame?” “Austin likes it that I’m young.” I did not bother arguing with her. A

“But I don’t get it. Why Lucy?” Sophie stared at me. “I never knew Austin liked that type.”“Stop worrying about why it’s Lucy. As long as it’s not you, it doesn’t matter who it is.” I understood what Sophie was thinking. I used to wonder the same thing.Why Cecilia?I was younger, prettier, and smarter. My family was rich, and I was kind-hearted. I thought that I was better than Cecilia in every way, but it was pointless. Zach still had feelings for her.So, no matter how much Sophie wondered, it would not change a thing. She thought that Lucy was just a troublemaker. That girl was an eighteen-year-old dropout who only knew how to dress up. Yet, Austin had chosen her. What else could Sophie do?While we had lunch, she complained nonstop.“People say men prefer eighteen-year-old girls, but I didn’t believe it. Looks like it’s true. Lucy has nothing but youth.”“Well, at least she’s young.” I gave her a shrimp. “Come on, eat. We have a conference call with my dad and yours this a

I knocked on the door of a garden villa, and the housekeeper answered. Immediately after, I introduced myself, “I’m Cassia Freeman, the acting chairman of Freeman Corporation. I’m here to see Mr. Hanson.”The housekeeper quickly invited us in. Sophie still looked confused as we took off our shoes. “Whose house is this?”“Take a guess.” I stood up straight, and a middle-aged woman came out. I had met her at a company event, and she was surprised to see me. She approached us and said, “Ms. Freeman? What brings you here?”“I was just passing by. I thought I’d drop by since it’s been a while. Is Mr. Hanson not home yet?”“Oh, he won’t be home for dinner tonight. He’s often out socializing, but I can call him for you.”“It’s okay.” I smiled and said, “Let him handle his business. We can chat on our own.”“Okay.” Ellie Gipson, Oscar’s wife, nervously wiped her hands on her clothes. She then stepped aside and said, “Please come in.”While Ellie asked the housekeeper to prepare tea, Sop

I turned around, and Sophie was staring at me in her wheelchair. “What’s wrong? Who are you calling? Don’t tell me Zach messed things up again?”“Why would I care if he did? I’m not getting together with him.” I suddenly realized that I had not seen Lucy all afternoon. “Where’s Lucy?”“I gave her some money to go out. If she stayed here, how would I explain who she is? Besides, what if Austin showed up looking for her? That would be super awkward. Oh, by the way, Austin didn’t come to see Lucy last night.”“Oh.” Right then, my phone rang. I glanced down, and it was Austin.I quickly stepped aside and answered the call. His voice was so weak, like he barely had the strength to speak. “Hello? Were you looking for me?”“How are you feeling?” “I was dreaming, but your call woke me up.”“What were you dreaming about?”“I don’t like sharing my dreams with others,” he whispered faintly. His voice was so soft that it was hard to hear.Just then, Sophie spoke loudly from behind me. “C

“Don’t listen to her nonsense.”Sophie always said the wildest things. I swear that she was going to be a bad influence on the kids. I almost wanted to smack her.By the time I woke up, it was almost noon. I washed up and went downstairs to eat lunch. That was when I saw our parents returning.The moment Aunt Lauren saw Sophie’s injured leg, her eyes turned red. She ran over and hugged her tightly. “What happened to you? I wasn’t even gone that long, and you’re already a mess!”“Mom, you’ve been gone for two or three months already.”“You keep making me worry!” Aunt Lauren cried. Ever since Bryce passed away, she had become so fragile. She could not handle the thought of something happening to Sophie.My mom tried to calm her down. “Cassia said Sophie got hurt playing basketball. Don’t worry. She’s always been a strong girl.”Aunt Lauren kept crying, but then, she started to smack Sophie out of frustration. “You’re already an adult, but you’re still so careless. Who’s going to w

Suddenly, I felt as if I did not know Austin anymore.The Austin I knew was cold, both inside and outside.Sophie once told me that he was like a thermos. He was cold no matter what.Perhaps that was true for others, but he had the warmest, most loving heart for Sophie.I did not know what to do with his request. Austin’s fingers felt so cold in my hand, like they would never warm up.I did not even remember how I left the hospital. As Zach drove, I curled up in the passenger seat and pressed my face against the window.He glanced at me and nudged my head away. “Isn’t your face cold?”My heart felt even worse.Why was life full of sickness and sadness?Love seemed like a joke. When two healthy people met, their feelings were not mutual. But once they finally loved each other, there was cancer, car accidents, or other heartbreaks.Was this a TV drama or some kind of soap opera?By the time I got home, it was 7 a.m. The weather was beautiful, with the sun shining brightly.Th

“There’s still another round of bidding for the project. You should stay in the hospital and leave it to your team.”“Cassia, you’re so bossy. You can control Zach, but don’t try to control me.” Even though he was weak, I still felt like hitting him every time he spoke.“Austin, when someone dies, they lose everything. If you don’t take care of yourself, who will?”“My body never listens to me,” he said softly. “If I can’t find a donor, should I just kill someone for their heart?”“Just stay in the hospital and wait for a donor. You’ll get one within three months.”“Even with a transplant, there’s only a 30% chance of success. That’s how bad my condition is.” He closed his eyes and looked tired.“At least there’s a 30% chance.”He remained silent, and I was having a headache from lack of sleep.I heard that Zach had arranged for a nurse to stay with him 24/7. I needed to go home and rest.Before I left, I told Austin, “If you try to leave the hospital, I’ll tell Sophie.”He i

With that, I called Mr. Pepper. I felt bad for waking him up in the middle of the night, but thankfully, he lived in our house.He was still groggy, but he helped me downstairs after he washed his face with cold water.My legs felt weak, and Mr. Pepper tried to comfort me. “Don’t worry too much, Ms. Freeman. Mr. Jenkins is young. He should be fine.”However, his reasoning was not sound. Death did not care how old you were. It would just take you when it was your time.When I arrived at the hospital, Zach was waiting for me at the entrance.He held my arm and probably noticed that I was shaking, so he reassured me, “He’s in the ER. The doctor said he passed out not long ago. He took some medicine when he first felt ill, so it should be okay.”I looked up at Zach under the bright hospital lights. He took off his coat and wrapped it around me.I had left in such a hurry that I ended up wearing one yellow shoe and one white one.Soon, Austin was brought out of the ER and into a reg

“You can eat them if you want. Otherwise, I’ll just throw them away.” “Don’t waste food.” She picked up an escargot with two fingers and sucked on it, like she was eating a field snail. I sat across from her and watched her eat.“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m cute?” “Yeah,” I said. “You look like a cute little pig when you eat.”“Why are you being so mean? Are you upset because of Cecilia? Are you worried that Zach might go back to her?” I got up from the couch. I was not going to waste my time worrying about Cecilia.I was actually thinking about Austin’s pale face.“Take your time eating. I’m going upstairs to hang out with Rachel.” I nodded at Kingston.Soon after, Cameron called. He was going to Switzerland for business, and he would drop by West City once he was done.Rachel quickly said, “Dad, don’t pick me up yet. Cassia’s taking good care of me. Don’t worry.”Cameron sighed on the phone and laughed a little. “Cassia, I don’t know if I should

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
