I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 408
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

“Watch the movie. Why are you staring at me?”“Cassia, is Zach outside?”“Yeah. Don’t worry about him. He’ll leave on his own.”“Cassia.” Oliver kept looking at me. “You seem to be over him.”“You finally believe me?” I messed up his hair. “You goofball. I always mean what I say.”After the movie, Mrs. Gibson was running around the house and garden. I asked her what was going on, and she said, “There’s a thunderstorm. I need Mr. Dennis and the others to cover the flowers with plastic, or else, they’ll be ruined.”It had been thundering all day, and the rain was finally beginning to fall.I checked the weather app, and there would indeed be a thunderstorm today.Mrs. Gibson added, “Mr. Gordon’s car is still outside. Should we let him in?”“It’s okay. He’ll leave if it pours.”I needed to ask Sophie to hurry home. She happened to arrive right after I sent her a text.“You won’t believe it! There was this huge lightning strike, and guess what I saw?”“What?”“I saw pink light

Sophie and I exchanged looks. We both thought the same thing.If Zach had been sleeping in the car with the windows closed and the air condition on, he could have experienced carbon monoxide poisoning.We quickly jumped out of the car to check on him. Although I was not getting back together with him, I did not want him to be harmed.I ran to the car and saw him lying in the driver’s seat with his eyes shut. Through the window, he looked pale.Sophie gasped. “Oh, no. Is he dead?”I got scared, so I opened the door. Zach immediately opened his eyes.Thank goodness he was alive. I felt a huge relief.“Dude.” I nearly freaked out. “What are you doing here? You didn’t go home all night? Don’t you have a place to stay?”“The rain was too heavy. I couldn’t see well enough to drive, so I just stayed here.” He looked tired. It must have been uncomfortable to sleep in the car.“Go home and get some rest before you come over to sign the contract.” After I made sure that he was not dead,

“What?”“You didn’t get so caught up in your decision that you convinced yourself it would work, did you?” I finished signing the contract and handed him a copy. “Do you think I’ve been waiting for you to pursue me all this time?”“I never thought that. I just feel like I owe you—”“You don’t owe me anything. Everything I did before, I did willingly. So, whatever you choose to do for me now is up to you. If I don’t accept it, that doesn’t mean I owe you.”Zach gazed at me for a long time. His eyes were so beautiful. I had always enjoyed looking into his eyes. I used to find it strange that a boy’s eyes could look so dreamy.Later, I realized that I would never understand him.It was not professional to discuss personal matters in my office. So, I tried to stay businesslike and extended my hand. “Zach, I look forward to working with you.”He took my hand but refused to let go. His hand was warm, and his fingers wrapped around mine like a spider’s legs.I tried to pull away a few

Toward the end of the day, I received a call from who I thought was Rachel.So, I happily answered, “Hey, are you done with school?”However, it was Cameron sounding worried. “Cassia…”He rarely sounded like that. People like him, who managed a big company, always stayed calm. The only person who could make him that worried was Rachel.I immediately thought that something had happened to her, so I asked, “What happened to Rachel?”“I think she’s on her way to see you.”“Huh?” I was confused. “Rachel’s on her way to see me? From Spain?”“Yes, she’s been asking me since New Year’s to bring her to West City. I promised her that I would, but then, a few clients came to Madrid. I had to entertain them.”“So, Rachel’s missing?” I started to break out in a cold sweat. “How do you know she’s on her way to see me? How would she get here? I’m so far away.”“She left a note with messy handwriting. It said that she was going to Sommerset to find you.”“But how could she fly alone?”“She

“Who told you that you could buy a ticket and fly on your own?! Do you realize how lucky you are?! If anything went wrong, you could have died!” I yelled. It was my first time being so tough on Rachel.I had to be strict with her. Otherwise, she would not know right from wrong.“We’re staying at the airport until your dad gets here to bring you back!”She got scared, and her face turned pale. “Cassia, why are you being so mean? Don’t you like me anymore? Don’t you want me here?”“You should have talked to your dad about coming here.”“He always says ‘soon,’ but if I wait any longer, you’ll have the babies. Then, you won’t like me anymore!” she shouted and cried.I never expected her to think of all this. As she sobbed, Sophie tried to comfort her. However, I gave Sophie a sharp look, and she stepped back.Before she could say anything, I warned, “You might as well leave if you’re planning to speak up for her!”“Okay, okay, I won’t say anything.” Sophie covered her mouth and ste

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
