I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 411
“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

“My dad only cares about work, not me. He’s lied to me so many times. He promised that he’d bring me to see you for New Year’s, but he kept getting busier. If I never figured it out myself, I wouldn’t have been able to see you.” Her cold tears kept falling onto the back of my hand.It was hard to see her cry, but I could not let myself feel sorry for her.I pulled her arm off my neck and said, “Don’t give me excuses. You made a mistake, understand? You’re only six years old. You’re too young to travel on your own. You could’ve been hurt. I won’t forgive you just because you wanted to see me or because you’re crying.”“Cassia.” Rachel sniffled, and her tears continued to fall. “What do you want, then?”She made it sound like I was being unreasonable.Fine. If she refused to admit that she was wrong, I would just ignore her.I crossed my arms and looked away while she cried. After a while, she could not take it anymore and said between sobs, “Cassia, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.

“So, are you saying we’re cheap?”Rachel had been on a flight for over ten hours and even had a layover. While Mrs. Gibson helped Rachel with her bath, Sophie said, “I have to admit that Rachel is really smart. She’s only six, but she flew all the way here to see you. When we were six, we were still playing with clay and wiping our noses!”“That’s you,” I replied with annoyance. “Just don’t say that in front of her. Who knows if she’ll be as lucky next time?”“You were harsh with Rachel just now.”“If I wasn’t, she wouldn’t understand how serious this is.”“Cassia, I think you’d be a great mom. How are you so amazing? You’re perfect at everything.”“Are you out of your mind?” I shot her a look. “I just feel that once the babies are born, you’ll be able to take care of them yourself. If the Gordon family tries to take them away, you can sue them and fight for your kids. I know you’ll win. Cassia, I believe in you.”“Go away.” I did not want to talk about it. “Anyway, don’t prai

“Oh.” I glanced at Sophie, who was sound asleep on the couch. “She’s just exhausted.”After I ended the call, I noticed that Austin was still changing his shoes.Were they that hard to put on? Why did it take him so long?I walked over. “Need help?”“You think I’d let a pregnant woman help me with my shoes?” He pulled a small pill bottle from his pocket and swallowed two pills.“What are those?”“Vitamins,” he said. “Sophie’s snoring is so loud. I need all the brain power I can get.”He was being critical again. If Sophie were awake, they would be arguing.As I walked him to the door, I asked, “Sophie’s so likable. Why don’t you like her?”“Why should I?” he shot back.I had no answer. He was not wrong since feelings could not be forced. No matter how amazing Sophie was, some people would simply not like her.After a moment, I said, “Apart from you, lots of people like her.”“You mean Lance? If you weren’t pregnant, he’d probably like you too.”“Not just Lance. I set her

“I just went for a checkup.” Austin walked over to me. “Why are you sweating so much?”He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and gave it to me. Honestly, only Austin would still carry a handkerchief in his condition.I wiped my sweat. “I came with Sophie to get her cast off, and I thought I’d stop by to see you.”“Get her cast off? I thought that wasn’t until next month?”“She insisted on getting it off today. The doctor checked, and her bone is healing well, so it’s fine for her to take it off.”“When did she start caring so much about her looks?” Austin walked back to his room, and I followed him.He sat down and seemed a little out of breath. I had already asked the doctor about him. Austin could not engage in any physical activity; he could not even walk fast.I was about to pour him some water, but he waved me off. “Don’t bother. I’m not thirsty. How could I let you take care of me? I might be a patient, but you’re pregnant.”At least, he could still joke. If I were him

Sophie’s voice was shaky, and I did not say anything else.Her decision to get married was partly due to her parents and Bryce.As for the other half? I was not sure if she was doing it out of anger toward Austin.“Do you still like Austin?” I asked carefully.“Who’s Austin?” She turned over. “I’m going to sleep.”“Hey, don’t sleep here. You’re going to squish me.”“I’m skinny. I won’t take up much space.”Sophie did not say anything else, and I could not tell if she had fallen asleep.Maybe it was because the bed was too crowded with the three of us, but I hardly slept at all.I looked in the mirror the next morning. The dark circles under my eyes made it seem like a squid had sprayed ink on me.Sophie was already on the phone with Kingston. Their wedding was less than three weeks away, and there was a lot to do.My mom told me that after the wedding, Sophie and Kingston would live with her parents for a while. With Bryce gone, the house would feel too empty if Sophie moved
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 472
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
