“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

He tiptoed into the room to see her. When he left, his eyes were filled with fatigue.He leaned against the railing and said to me, “Thank you, Cassia.”“You can leave her with me for now. She really needs someone to keep her company.” Cameron nodded. “Alright, thank you.” After some small talk, we went downstairs to have our breakfast. Mrs. Yates made lamb stew, and the dining hall smelled really good. Cameron took a bite and sighed. “I felt like I haven’t had a good breakfast in a very long time.” “Stop exaggerating.” I laughed. “Do you want to have some bread? Mrs. Yates is a great baker.” He said yes, so we each took a piece of bread and started eating. Cameron was looking down, and his long fringe was blocking his eyes. Some longer strands were touching the tip of his nose. He was tearing the bread into huge chunks, but this affected the texture. Hence, I took the bread from him and showed him the right way of doing it. “You should tear it into smaller pieces. That

“There isn’t a reason why. I just don’t love him,” I said. “Who do you love, then?”“It’s none of your business.”“Cassia, Zach…”“I know. Even if he’s the last man on Earth, I won’t choose him. Don’t worry!” Oliver was repeating the same thing again. “Cassia, while I was on my morning run the other day, I saw Zach sleeping in his car. It was parked in front of our gate. Zach seems different now.” I looked up in surprise. “Are you trying to say something nice about Zach?”“Of course not. I’m just telling you what I truly feel.”He was definitely a different person. However, I had changed as well. I woke Sophie up for work, and her eyes were even more swollen after sleeping. “When did that jerk, Austin, leave?” she asked.“After you fell asleep.”Sophie rolled her eyes. “By the way, Kingston asked you to head over to his company today for a launching ceremony,” I said.“What’s it for?”“A robot.”“Hmm, I’m interested. What time is it?”“At 10 a.m.” “I need to work.”

He looked down, and the soup was reflected in his eyes. I had no idea what he was thinking. However, I had a feeling that he was starting to give up. I did not think that he was doing all this because he loved me. He was just repaying me for everything I had done for him before. Unfortunately, he could only mimic my past actions. It was unclear if his intentions were as pure as mine. In the end, Zach left with the unfinished soup. One of Gordon Corporation’s heirs had willingly put aside his ego and made soup for me. Yet, I rejected him. The room still smelled like soup. So, I opened the window to get rid of the aroma. Then, I chewed on a piece of gum to get rid of the taste from my mouth. In the afternoon, Austin gave me a call. He invited me to the opening of his friend’s bar. “I don’t think it’s suitable for me to visit a bar as a pregnant lady,” I said.“It’s a chill bar. It won’t be noisy.” In that case, I would drop by and show some support. I picked Sophie up

“It really is him,” Sophie said and stood up. “I’ll go say hi to him.”Two young women were with Kingston, so I stopped her. She stared at me in confusion. “What?”“Just sit down.” “Why?” She was really oblivious. “Just do as I say.”She sat down in bewilderment. “What’s wrong?” “Don’t you see the two young women next to him?”“Yeah, I’m not blind.”“Is Kingston pursuing you?” Sophie thought about it. “I think so. He’s quite attentive toward me, and he’s sort of hinted at the possibility.”I looked at Kingston and the two young women in the booth. A few other of their friends soon arrived—they were a mixture of men and women. I did some counting, and they seemed to be in pairs. Mrs. Hanson had constantly praised Kingston in front of me. According to her, he was a workaholic who was shy around girls. I had also hired someone to do some investigating. Kingston did not seem like the type to fool around, but that was just hearsay. It might not be the truth. Since we

After a few minutes, Kingston returned. This time, he chose to sit at the corner of the couch. The hot girl followed suit, but she looked defeated. The waiter quickly showed us the video that he had taken. It was unknown where he had positioned himself, but he was quite close to them. We could even hear their conversation. Kingston had just left the washroom when the hot girl stopped him at the entrance. She cornered him against a wall and brushed her exposed leg against his thigh. Her skirt was so short that I could even see her underwear. Kingston immediately blushed, but he pushed her away after that. He was quite forceful because she almost fell over. As such, the hot girl got upset. “Hey, are you an idiot? Am I not pretty or hot enough?” “You’re not my type,” he said. “I also like someone else.”“You can keep liking her and have some fun. We’re adults here,” the hot girl said and inched toward him. She had just taken a few steps before Kingston pushed her aside and esc

Sophie knocked on my door the next day around 7 a.m.I only managed to fall asleep at about 2 a.m., so I had a bad headache. I sat on the bed as she ran over excitedly and asked, “Are you busy this morning?” “Go away.” I lay down again. “Come to the city hall with me. I’m getting married!”“Why do you need me there? Am I going to breastfeed you?”“You don’t have milk right now.” I was disgusted by our conversation. Rachel sat up from the bed and asked, “Why are you going to the city hall?”“To get married.”“Shouldn’t you be going to a church for that? There’s supposed to be a priest with a bible that asks if you’re willing to marry this person next to you regardless of… something?”“That’s a religious wedding. Besides, it has to be lawful. What we’re doing today is the legal side of things.” Sophie carried Rachel up from the bed. “Do you want to be a witness to our marriage?” “Yay, sure!” Rachel immediately beamed and agreed. “I want to be the priest who holds the bibl

Cecilia had no shame at all. I would be speechless if this worked on Zach. After a while, she walked out dejectedly with her flowers. It seemed like she did not even manage to enter his office. She stood there in annoyance for a while before she suddenly looked over in my direction. I could see her, but she might not be able to see me. I was on a high floor, and the sun was blinding. Right then, Hailey gave me a call. I knew that she wanted to rant about Cecilia. Sure enough, Hailey started to complain, “Ms. Freeman, Cecilia is really shameless. I’ve never seen such a shameless woman. When Mr. Gordon was cut off from Gordon Corporation, she abandoned him immediately. Now that she knows he’s going to be Gordon Corporation’s acting CEO, she instantly starts visiting him again. I really can’t stand her.” “Hasn’t she always been like this?” I was unfazed. “Fortunately, Mr. Gordon is not willing to see her.” Hailey sounded relieved. “Do you really think he won’t see her fo

I looked at Austin’s pale face, and I was at a loss for words. His argument was reasonable, and I had no way to refute it. I was upset, but I could not cry. I felt a heavy feeling in my chest, and I found it hard to breathe. He looked at me and suddenly smiled. “Look at your face. Have I ever said that I liked Sophie? I don’t like girls like her. I prefer girls like you who are smart, beautiful, and decisive. Why don’t you marry me after you give birth to your babies?”I did not want to joke around with him. It was not funny.After that, Lucy exited the bridal shop and got into the backseat of the car. I stood in front of the bridal shop and watched as his car disappeared into the corner. “Cassia,” Sophie called out to me. I turned around. “What?”“Whose side are you on? I realize you’ve been extra nice to Austin recently. Have you forgotten that he’s a jerk?”“Watch your mouth.”I got into my car unhappily. “I’ll make a move first.”“Aren’t we having dinner together to

I knew that he was looking at the photos of him and Sophie in her wedding gown. Perhaps this would be the only time in his entire life that he could stand next to Sophie while she was dressed in a wedding gown. I felt the waterworks coming. When I tried to look for tissue papers in my bag, Zach called me. He sounded a bit excited. “Cassia, there’s this person overseas who has the same blood type as Austin. He has ALS, which is a fatal motor neuron disease. His family has already signed an organ donation form for him, and his condition recently worsened. He may pass in a month’s time, so I got in contact with them. His family has agreed to donate his heart to Austin.” “Really?” It was good news, and I almost leaped in joy. I glanced at Austin excitedly. He was staring intently at his phone, so he did not notice me. “Does Austin have to leave immediately?”“It’s still early. We can leave when the donor’s condition worsens.” I estimated the time. Zach said that it would ta

Sophie could easily start a fight wherever she went. I immediately went over and saw that Austin’s forehead had turned red. It seemed to be getting swollen. I kicked Sophie in anger. “Is there something wrong with you? What are you doing?” “Why did you kick me? Didn’t you hear what he just said?”Austin bent down and picked up Sophie’s phone for her. “Luckily, your phone screen isn’t cracked. It’s fine if my skull is cracked; it can heal.” Sophie took her phone, and it immediately unlocked due to face ID. Her wallpaper was a photo of Kingston and her. She had just changed the wallpaper yesterday. It used to be a photo of me and her. Austin was the one who had taken that photo. Even though Austin was not directly in the photo, it felt like it was a photo of the three of us. He must have noticed it. He smiled and said, “I’ll make a move. Tell Lucy I’ll be waiting for her in the car.” Austin walked out of the bridal shop, and Sophie looked dispirited. “I was quite happy, bu

“You’re getting married too?”“I’ll be your best man or maid of honor. What? You’re too cheap to pay for the outfits?”“You, my best man?”“Look around you. Are there any single people left?”Sophie rolled her eyes. “Hah, I wasn’t planning on inviting you.”Kingston tried to shake Austin’s hand, but Austin ignored him. Sophie got mad and pulled Kingston away. “Don’t pay attention to him. He thinks he’s too good for anyone. He’s crazy.”“Sophie,” I warned.“What? He’s always acting crazy!” she yelled.I was not sure if Austin really wanted to be Sophie’s best man, or if it was just an excuse to come here.Anyway, Austin went to change too. I could not tell the difference between the best man’s and groom’s outfits. However, the difference between the bridesmaid and bride was clear.While Sophie was posing in front of the mirror in her wedding dress, Austin came out of the fitting room.Austin was very thin, and the suit hung loosely on him, but it still looked good.He had a

Sophie’s wedding preparations were progressing quickly. She limped to work in the mornings and dragged me along in the afternoons to buy wedding stuff.I felt like the wedding was just an excuse for her to go shopping.“This afternoon, Kingston and I are trying on our wedding outfits. You should come too.”“It’s your wedding. Why should I come?”“To help me choose! I look good in everything, so it’s hard to pick.”“If it’s that hard, just buy them all. Aren’t you rich?”“Why are you so grouchy?” She leaned closer and observed me. “Cassia, are your hormones off balance?”“I’m pregnant, so everything’s a mess right now.”After some thought, I called Austin and told him, “Sophie’s trying on wedding dresses this afternoon.”“Okay,” he replied in his usual lifeless tone.“Aren’t you going to say anything to her?”“Don’t eat too much. The wedding dress will be a pain to alter.”I was so angry that I hung up. He was so stubborn. I was sure that he would regret it and cry later.M

Austin was the weakest among us when we were kids. He could not climb trees, run, or do anything physically demanding. Instead, he would play board games and puzzles with us.Sophie always thought that he was smart, and she admired him.I never imagined that someone I grew up with might die so soon.“You should leave,” he said weakly. “She should be done by now.”“Austin.” I wanted to say something more, but he turned his back to me.He did not want to listen, so I had no choice but to leave.As I reached the door, I heard him say, “Actually, this is a good thing.”Was he saying that Sophie marrying Kingston was a good thing?What was good about it?I felt like grabbing Sophie over. I wanted to point at the dying man in bed and say, “This guy loves you more than you know. He helped you test Kingston’s character. He thinks about you all the time. He comes to see you every night using his half-sister as an excuse, but he’s dying. He doesn’t want you to be sad, so he plans to die

“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
