I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 41
My phone began to vibrate on my pillow, and it annoyed me. I answered it without looking. “Who’s calling?”“It’s me, sweetheart.” It was my mom. “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”I softened my tone. “Mom, are you still in Nepal?”“I’m back. I’ve received something wonderful from the priest. Come home tonight. Oh, bring Zach with you.”“What’s this wonderful thing?”“Don’t worry about it. Just come home early.”After the call, I felt even more dejected.My mom had traveled all the way to Nepal for some deity, even though she hated flying. Every flight felt like a small disaster for her.Sometimes, I felt like a horrible daughter.I packed up in the afternoon and headed home. I made no plans to bring Zach along, but I ran into him at the front door.“Did my mom call you?” I asked.“Yeah.” He closed the car door. “Have you taken your medicine?”“Yes,” I said, but I actually poured the medicine down the toilet.We went inside together. Sophie was there, and to my surpr

“Let Hayden handle it. He can tell your dad that you’re in no condition to have surgery.” Sophie grabbed my arm.“Don’t involve him any further.” My head throbbed. “He’s already helped us so much. I don’t want to ruin his career as a doctor.”“I just don’t get it. Cecilia is faking it too, but she’s doing it so well.”“She only fooled Zach, but I’ve been lying to everyone.” I flopped onto the bed and covered my head with a pillow. “One lie just leads to more lies. I wish I never lied at all.”While we were talking, there was a sudden crash outside. Sophie jumped up from the bed. “What was that?”She ran to check and saw that the little ceramic doll hanging on my door had fallen and shattered.Mrs. Clark quickly came over to clean up the broken pieces. “Please go back to your room. Don’t step on the shards.”“How did the doll fall?” I wondered out loud.“I’ll ask Ms. Wilson later. She was here a moment ago.”Cecilia? Could she have been eavesdropping on our conversation?Sophi

Zach lied to me. It did not hurt a little; it hurt a lot.However, I had always been good at handling pain. No matter how much it hurt, I never cried out.When I was a kid, I often got hurt. After playing with friends, I would come back home covered in bruises. But I would not cry out in pain, so no one knew. I would just hide and treat my injuries.Cecilia was different. Once, when we were playing, she fell and scraped her knee. She looked so weak, like she might faint. Zach quickly carried her into the living room. She sat on the couch in silence. But she looked pale and had tears streaming down her face. Her mother was panicking as if she was about to die.I did not even make such a fuss when I broke my leg.However, Cecilia’s pale and tearful face was honestly quite a pitiful sight.Sophie once said that if I did not speak up about being hurt, no one would ever know. But even if everyone knew, the pain would still be the same.As Zach iced my ankle, I did not tell him that i

I ran my hand up his abs, but before I could touch his chest, Zach grabbed my wrist. “Stop it,” he said.Whenever a man rejected a woman’s show of affection, he would usually say something like that.However, I did not want to stop.If I did not seize this chance, I might not get another one.He pulled my hand away, so I limped around to face him. As I stood on tiptoe, I wrapped my arms around his neck and clung to him like a little monkey.He was really tall. I did not think I was short, but I stopped growing during high school. Zach, on the other hand, kept growing. He would appear taller every time I saw him after a break.A person in love could act a bit silly. I just liked looking up at him.His hair was still damp, and cool drops of water fell onto my nose.Before he could move me away, I kissed him.I had my first kiss with him, but it was a kiss that I had forced upon him.I remembered getting drunk one day during our second year of starting the company. Zach drove

“Why do you keep saying that you only have a few months to live?” Zach asked.“Because it’s true.”“Don’t you want to live longer?”“Even if I lived longer, you still wouldn’t love me. What’s the point?”He stared at me for a long time. “You want me to pretend to love you for three months. What if three months later—”“If I’m still alive after three months, I’ll kill myself. Is that okay? Are you worried that I might keep bothering you?” I cut him off.I was losing it. From seeing an alternative medicine doctor during the day to visiting my mom at night, my mental state was falling apart.He glanced at me and closed his eyes in silence.I was extremely frustrated.I finally fell asleep early in the morning. When I woke up, Zach was already gone.I sat on the balcony and stared at the garden full of flowers. I wondered how this mess would end.It would probably end in disaster.A call from Sophie brought me back to reality. “I’ve found something!” she said excitedly.“Say i

“Okay. I understand.” Mrs. Hudson nodded. “Should I keep preparing this medicine every day?”“Yes.”My legs were still shaking after she left.I was a bad liar, so I was not sure if my face had turned red earlier.Since I had told Mrs. Hudson not to tell Zach anything, she probably would not. But how long could I keep this up?I went to the balcony for some fresh air and saw Cecilia on her balcony too.The breeze lifted her long hair, and I saw her cold, angry eyes.She hated me just like I hated her.As she gripped the railing and stared at me, I stared back.I knew that if she had a gun, she would definitely shoot me.However, I would not do that. That was the main difference between us.While we stared at each other, Mrs. Hudson passed me my phone. “It’s a call from Ms. Freeman. It’s been ringing for a while.”I thanked Mrs. Hudson and put the phone to my ear. Sophie’s excited voice came through. “I’ve obtained Cecilia’s medical report!”I smiled at Cecilia, and this ti

I rushed to the hospital and saw Zach at the emergency room entrance.Cecilia’s parents were both there. Mrs. Wilson was crying and holding Zach’s hand. Her voice was shaky and sharp, like nails on a chalkboard. It was painful to listen to.For some reason, I had always thought that Mrs. Wilson seemed fake, whether she was crying or laughing.Zach was softly comforting her when I walked over. “The doctors are checking on her. It probably isn’t anything serious.”“Zach.” Mrs. Wilson sobbed. “Cecilia has had such a tough life. She’s so young, but she’s already ill. She still has so many dreams left. Zach, Cecilia loves you, so you have to stay by her side.”I was standing right there, but in their eyes, I was dying soon. Cecilia and Mrs. Wilson were the same—completely self-centered.Zach noticed me and frowned. “Why are you here?”“There’s something important I need to tell you.”“Can’t it wait?”“It’s really important. It’ll stop Mrs. Wilson from crying.” I glanced down the ha

We went over. Cecilia had been moved from the emergency room to the ward, but the situation was chaotic.Nurses and doctors were running around. While Mr. Wilson was talking to a doctor, Mrs. Wilson was crying and laughing at the same time. Zach was nowhere to be seen.It was confusing and a bit strange. I had no idea what was happening.Sophie and I entered Cecilia’s ward. She was crying and covering her face while Zach was next to her.“What’s she up to now? Let’s go talk to Zach,” Sophie said angrily.After we entered the ward, the doctor beat us to it and handed a report to Zach first. “Mr. Gordon, we’ve rechecked everything. The report Ms. Wilson brought before and the new test results are completely different. Ms. Wilson is actually healthy. Her previous diagnosis was a mistake!” he said with excitement.Sophie and I exchanged looks and saw frustration in each other’s eyes.Cecilia had gotten ahead of us again. She had even used the misdiagnosis trick.However, something

“When did your head get so square?” I looked at the metal block for a while, but I could not see how it resembled Sophie.“This robot doesn’t have to look like me. The important part is its core. It can follow my commands, and Kingston said he’ll add my voice to it later.”“What can it do? A two-hundred-dollar smart box can already do things like turn lights on and off or flush the toilet.”“Tch, this is different. Apart from following my commands, it can also read my emotions. It’ll then play the appropriate music to improve my mood.”That sounded interesting. “It should be a mood helper instead of a robot.”“Kingston also mentioned that it has a special function if I get really upset.”“Will it explode into fireworks?”“Tch.” She rolled her eyes and hugged the robot. “I don’t know. He didn’t say.”Sophie seemed to like the gift.However, Kingston did not really give it to her because she was fond of it. He just happened to study this stuff.I was incredibly tired, so I turn

“I think it’s great that he has his own principles. A lot of people today don’t have any,” Sophie interjected.It was time to change the subject. Everyone had their own views on such things anyway.“Let’s toast to those with principles,” I said to Rachel.She raised her juice cup in response. “Cheers!”“Alright, cheers.” Oscar and Ellie smiled as they clinked glasses with us.We finished eating, and Sophie had two glasses of wine. I did not allow her to have more. Kingston finally returned as well.He was not full, so he ate the leftovers.Sophie asked him how things went, and he looked up in confusion. “The head of the company whose tech was stolen came too. He claimed that it wasn’t their tech, but they’re working on something similar. He kept promoting it.”“What happened after that?”“Nothing. The police just let those two individuals go.” Kingston shook his head and went back to eating.The whole thing seemed strange. I thought about it, but I could not put my finger on

After a while, Kingston came downstairs. He looked upset, so Sophie asked, “What’s wrong?”“Two people visited the company today to discuss a deal. They offered a high price,” Kingston said.“Isn’t that good?”“At first, I thought so too. But as we talked, something felt off. They brought some tech for the collaboration, but I realized that another company had just created it. They might have stolen it.”“How can they steal someone else’s stuff?”“There are lots of ways.” Kingston peeled an orange and gave half to Sophie before eating the rest himself. “I turned them down, but they kept trying to rope me in.”“Would that tech be useful to you?” I asked.“Of course. It would save us at least a month of work.”Sophie’s eyes lit up as she looked at him. Just then, Ellie brought over a plate of fruit and teased, “Kingston’s too stubborn. If he were a bit more flexible, he’d be super successful by now.”“A gentleman earns money the right way.” Kingston’s stubbornness was somehow

Actually, Oscar did some of the cooking too. He was wearing a blue and white checkered apron, on which Ellie had tied a bow. He looked more adorable than he usually did in the office.We gave him our gifts, and Rachel handed him a lollipop. “This is made with xylitol. It won’t give you diabetes.”Oscar and Ellie laughed so hard that they could barely open their eyes. Ellie kept saying, “Wow, this little girl is so pretty.”“This must be Mr. Quinlan’s child,” Oscar said.“Yeah. She’s staying with me for a while.” I then told Sophie to help Rachel with washing her hands. Ellie was already asking the housekeeper to bring us some snacks and fruits. Oscar invited me to have a seat. “Cassia, I finally understand why your dad values you so much. You’re not only skillful, but you’re also charming. Even the little ones like you.”I was flattered by his compliments.After that, he made his way back to the kitchen. “Cassia, Sophie, have some fruit. I’ll make a few of my signature dishes f

Zach greeted Oliver, but I had to give him a kick. Only then did he stand up and nod at Zach. “Hi.”After that, he sat back down.The Freeman family had viewed Zach as the enemy for a while. But recently, things had gotten better. After Gordon Corporation started working with our company, Sophie saw Zach more often. As such, her attitude toward him was not as hostile as before.“I brought some clients here for breakfast. They’ve never had an authentic American breakfast,” Zach added.“The food here is good. You made the right decision in bringing them here.”“Alright, enjoy your meal.” He was about to leave, but I remembered something. “Your thermos… I figured that you wouldn’t mind, so I gave it to Mrs. Gibson. Also, I didn’t drink your soup. Don’t send any more next time. All that grease just clogs up the drain.”He just smiled and returned to his table.“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Sophie said between bites. “Zach seems to be treating you the same way he treated Cecilia back then. He’s b
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 427
It was rare for Mrs. Gibson to praise Zach. Anyway, I handed her the thermos. “Pour it out. If he brings soup again, don’t accept it.”“It’s such good soup. What a waste!”“Don’t give it to Bob. It’s too greasy for a dog, and it might upset its stomach. If you’re fine with it, you can have it. Otherwise, just pour it out.”It was not that I did not appreciate Zach’s kindness. But I had already told him that it was pointless.Whether he made it for me or the babies, it would not change anything.He claimed that it was something he wanted to do, but I had made my opinions clear. Eventually, Sophie picked out a gift. She brought down a big vase and smiled brightly. “I’ll wrap it up nicely later. It’ll look really classy.”Mrs. Gibson got excited when she saw the vase. “Do you like it, Ms. Freeman? I have two more in my room. Would you like one?”Sophie froze. “You have more? Cassia, is your family that rich? Isn’t this an antique?”“Well, it looks like one. The ceramic store beh

After I got pregnant, I somehow became popular; everyone wanted to date me.I watched as Cameron and Mr. Pepper drove away. When I turned around, I was startled to see Sophie behind me. She was holding Rachel’s hand, and they were both wearing SpongeBob pajamas. They looked like two little girls in kindergarten.“Why are you sneaking up on me? Are you trying to scare me?” I clutched my chest.“You haven’t done anything wrong, so why are you scared?” Sophie picked Rachel up. “Is Cameron gone?”“Yeah.”“What did he mean by ‘second in line?’”I shot her a look. “Help Rachel with her bath. Stop asking so many questions.”It was Oscar’s birthday today, and he had invited us to dinner. It would be a casual gathering.I decided to take Rachel out for breakfast and buy a gift for him at the mall.Older men were easy to gift. Ties, belts, and wallets were suitable, but I wanted something more unique. So, I thought about what Oscar would like.I wandered around the study and noticed my

Wearing Cameron’s coat, I walked through a bamboo grove with him. It felt pretty creepy at night, as there were no gaps between the bamboo trees. They created weird shadows when the wind blew, and it felt like something would jump out at any moment.Suddenly, Cameron wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to him.He had confessed his feelings for me several times. Any other woman would have probably been over the moon.This morning, a billionaire heir had made soup for me, and at night, a rich tycoon was giving me his coat. My luck with men this year was crazy.I stopped and looked up at him. Just as he leaned in, I quickly moved away.“Cameron, I may have divorced Zach and broken up with Hayden. Even so, I still won’t consider being with you.”He looked at me dejectedly. The shadows of the bamboo were reflected in his eyes.“Am I really that bad?” He was a bit upset.“Don’t think so little of yourself. You’re still a catch to a lot of women.”“Can you at lea

It was incredibly hard to find men who could resist such temptations. But there were some exceptions like Zach, who had been through a lot. Thanks to my investigation on Kingston, I knew about his good character. However, I never expected him to be this good. I felt happier as I thought about it. As a result, I was smiling from ear to ear. I patted Sophie and said, “Finally, a good man! Sophie, you need to hold on to him.” She was just about to speak when Kingston called her. It was probably because she had ended the call on a weird note. Kingston might be a little confused. Sophie answered, and I looked out the window. I was trying not to eavesdrop on their conversation. After we reached home, Kingston called again. Sophie spoke with him briefly before she told me, “He’s actually downstairs. I’m heading out for a while.”“Oh, go ahead!” Sophie then dashed out the door. I leaned against the glass door as I watched her leave. I felt that this time, things might really w
