I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 403
“I don’t dislike a lot of people. Does that mean I should date all of them?”I just looked out the window.“Cassia, there’s a new place selling buffalo wings on Commercial Street. Do you want to give it a try?”“I don’t feel like eating something spicy.”“I’ll get you dessert.”Sophie loved buffalo wings and ate them everywhere.Mr. Pepper parked the car at the corner of the street because he could not drive any further. So, Sophie and I walked hand-in-hand toward the new buffalo wings place. It was a long walk because it was on the far end.On a separate note, I had not been shopping in a while. I just did not have the time.There was a store we used to love years ago. It sold cute, girly clothes. I did not know when exactly, but one day, I just decided that they were too childish.I looked at the store as we walked by. I was about to turn away when I saw a familiar figure.A tall and slim girl was walking out of the store with her hands full of shopping bags.Lucy?She

Shortly after, the waiter brought us two iced teas with lots of ice.Sophie finished hers and shivered from the cold.She finally calmed down and looked at me in frustration. “Why did you pull me away? I should’ve slapped her.”“Why should you hit her? You’re not with Austin. Why do you care? Even if Lucy cheats on him with a hundred men, it’s none of your business.”My words made her realize her situation, and she stared at me. “Oh, yeah.”“Also, you’re the deputy manager of Freeman Corporation’s branch now. You’re not in the same position as you were before. You can’t just go around cursing and fighting.”Sophie sighed and hid her face in her hands.I knew that she was upset. She could not move on from Austin.While she was in her feelings, I quietly ordered a bunch of my favorite food.Since the place sold buffalo wings, I ordered some wings and fries. When Sophie finally looked up, she saw the huge platter of wings and complained again, “What’s this? Some kind of soggy mes

Sophie and I sat on either side of Lucy to keep her from escaping.She looked nervous. She did not expect us to be so tough and react like that.Her voice wavered. “L-Let’s just forget about it, okay?”“Oh, don’t back down now. Weren’t you so confident a minute ago?” Sophie sneered.“Mr. Pepper, take us to Austin’s house.”The car started moving, and Lucy squirmed between us. However, there was no way she was getting away.On our way, she kept insisting that she had only been joking. She begged us not to take it seriously.We ignored her. When we arrived at Austin’s house, we dragged her out of the car. He was home since we could see the lights in the living room as we walked through the garden.Lucy started to panic. She was probably afraid that Austin would throw her out. His big, comfortable house was a far cry from being on the streets.She smiled and tried to sweet-talk us, “Come on, don’t do this. I was wrong, okay? I’ll cut ties with that guy and be completely loyal

Austin’s smile was cruel. How should I describe him? He was a calm person who did not show care or hatred to anyone. He was just distant all the time.Yet, at this moment, his smile at Sophie was unexpectedly cruel.I could instantly feel how harsh it was.Sophie’s face turned red, but Austin’s next words made her go pale.“You think you have something on Lucy? I don’t care if she cheats on me.”Sophie bit her lip and finally said, “So, I’m just sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong?”Austin slowly turned off the TV and tossed the remote on the table. As he started to walk upstairs, he said coldly, “Lucy says you’re a backup. Well, you’re not even that. A backup has a chance to be useful, but not you. Lucy isn’t the only one for me. After I kick her out, there will be someone else, but it will never be you, Sophie.”After that, he went up the stairs and turned to look at Sophie. His cold gaze felt like a sharp arrow straight through her heart.I was angry too. I had ne

She must have made up her mind to shout those words at Austin.Suddenly, Austin’s cold voice came from upstairs. “That’s for the best.”I could almost hear Sophie’s heart breaking.If he had not said that, she would not have been so hurt.I quickly got Sophie out of Austin’s house and into the car outside.She curled up in the backseat and hugged her knees.Mr. Pepper looked at me in shock. “What happened to her?”“Just drive, Mr. Pepper. Take us home,” I softly said.“Okay.” Mr. Pepper started the car and drove toward the gate.Sophie did not speak for a long time.I opened my thermos and offered it to her. The red tea smelled good.She took it, but she just held it in her hands.When would we stop getting hurt by men?“Cassia,” she finally said in a hoarse voice.“Yeah.” I nodded. “What is it?”“Have you ever eaten fruit that’s been frozen in temperatures below minus 40 degrees?”Huh? Why was she talking about fruit?I shook my head. “No.”“I’ve had freeze-dried str

It was not a bad thing for Sophie to give up on Austin.She cried all night. Even though the wall separated us, I could still faintly hear her sobs. It was heartbreaking.I had no choice but to knock on her door, and she opened it with swollen eyes.I sighed. “Let’s sleep together.”“Are you a masochist?” She let me in.“I can’t sleep anyway. We might as well be close while you cry.”She wiped her eyes. “I don’t want to cry, but the tears just keep coming. Cassia, am I pathetic?”“Of course not. Even gods have been troubled by love.” I comforted her. “Why don’t we go out this weekend? I’ll take you around.”“What if you go into labor on the road?”“It won’t happen that soon. There’s still some time before my due date. Can you wish me well?”Sophie rested her head on my shoulder. “Cassia, let’s run away and travel the world. People in novels do that and live cool lives.”“You can’t be serious? Austin messed with your head so much that you’ve lost all faith in love?”“You wou

Well, as long as Sophie was happy, she could do whatever she wanted.On the way to Freeman Corporation, she said, “I’m not coming home for dinner tonight. Kingston and I are going to the tech expo.”“Okay,” I replied. “Have fun.”“Cassia, if things work out between me and him and you get on Mr. Hanson’s good side, will you call me your hero?”“When people succeed, the first thing they do is get rid of the heroes so that they don’t steal their spotlight. Don’t you know that?”“Whatever.” She pressed her face against the cold car window and stared outside. Her eyes were still puffy, so I dug through my bag and handed her some eye patches.She asked, “What’s this?”“Use them during your lunch break. Don’t scare Kingston.”When we got to the office, Benjamin brought me tea. I took a sip as I logged into the system.Benjamin had already figured out my routine. I did the same thing at the same time every day. He was sharp, and I liked that. Once my dad returned to Freeman Corporat

No wonder Zach looked like he wanted to throw up every time he saw me back then.He thought that to impress him, I had asked someone to steal his trade secrets and made Tyler lose faith in him. It looked like I wrecked his career and showed up to “save the day.”I would never do something that would hurt me as much as it hurts others.It was way too cruel.I kept quiet for a while, so Zach continued, “I ran into Steven yesterday. He told me that you bought the research from him. You were going to give it to me, but someone else got to it first, so you didn’t bring it up.”“Would it change anything if I told you?”“I misunderstood. I thought…” He hesitated.“Heh.” I laughed. “Zach, we’ve known each other since we were kids, but you’ve never bothered to understand me.”“I’m sorry,” he said softly.His apology did not mean much. It was too late for that.“Alright, we’ll sign the contract once you’re back. I’m hanging up.”“Cassia,” he called my name again. “I’m sorry, Cassia. I

If my aunt had not mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I was the one who had introduced Kingston to Sophie. At that time, I did not know how Austin truly felt about Sophie. I was worried that Sophie would end up like me from falling for the wrong person. I was not sure if that was the right decision after all.The atmosphere in the living room was lively. Everyone was eating fruit and drinking tea. Rachel asked me to watch a cartoon with her, so I excused myself and went upstairs. After the cartoon, I helped Rachel get ready for bed. Just then, I heard a car starting outside.I went up to the window and saw our guests were leaving. Sophie was supporting herself with a cane and leaning on Kingston’s shoulder. They were also holding hands. Just looking at her back, I could tell that Sophie was happy. I did not know if she was in love with Kingston or if she just liked him, but it was clear that she had moved on from Austin.After Oscar’s family and Sophie’s parents left, my

My uncle gave Sophie a look, while Aunt Lauren quickly laughed and said, “There aren’t many men who don’t drink these days. That’s good. You can have juice if you don’t drink.”At the dinner table, Aunt Lauren kept piling food onto Kingston’s plate.One way to tell if someone liked their future son-in-law was by how much food they put on his plate.Sophie bit her fork and said, “Mom, Kingston’s plate is so full. I can’t even see his face. Stop giving him food.”“You can help him, then! You’ve just been eating.” Aunt Lauren rolled her eyes at Sophie.Suddenly, Lucy called me and asked, “Austin told me to go back to his house, but I went there and didn’t see him. Where did he go?”“Stop asking so many questions. If there’s a place for you to stay, just stay there.” I hung up.The atmosphere was joyful as dinner came to an end. My dad, uncle, and Oscar drank a whole bottle of whiskey. My uncle looked happy most of the time, almost like he was back to his old self.After dinner, ev

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
