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

    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

    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

    Paula called Zach, but he did not pick it up.So, I decided to wait for him at the airport. I figured that something had come up and he would just meet me there.I told him on WhatsApp that I was heading to the airport and added a bunch of cringy kiss and heart emojis. He did not reply, and I grew incredibly anxious.I waited at the airport entrance until 3 p.m., but Zach never answered any of my calls.Time was running out, so I went through security and waited at the boarding gate.I waited until the plane left without us and sighed.Why did he stand me up?The car that dropped me off had already left. But I did not want to call my driver because my mom would find out and ask a lot of questions. On the cab ride home, I kept calling Zach. This time, he had turned off his phone.My husband had gone missing on the night of our wedding.There was still no word from Zach at the end of the day. Late at night, Bailey called to ask if I had arrived in Iceland. I said that I ha

    Cecilia had been missing for three years. But she showed up on my wedding night and interrupted my honeymoon with Zach.Even though we had grown up together, we had always been enemies.She was holding onto the railing and swaying. She could fall if she was not careful.Ever since I could remember, Cecilia had been very afraid of death. When she was little, she would even go to the hospital after an ant bite.The wind blew her hair around, and she looked at me through her hair. I looked back at her. All of a sudden, she waved at me. I was hesitant, and I stayed where I was. She laughed and seemed to mock me for being too scared to approach.Cecilia was still just as irritating after three years.I disliked her as much as she disliked me.Her body swayed like a torn flag in the strong wind. When she wobbled, I instinctively ran over and grabbed her arm.Then, I saw her pleased smile. I was still being too kind.She pulled hard on my wrist and tried to drag me toward the raili

    He seemed to be in a hurry, as he did not wait for me to reply.“Just sign it and give it to my lawyer before the end of the day.”With that, he turned to leave. I grabbed his sleeve across the desk. “Zach, you…”With my temper, I would have slapped him.I had been helping him for three years. But the moment Cecilia came back, he wanted to get a divorce.I probably did not matter to him at all.He pulled his sleeve away, and the sharp edge of his exquisite cufflink cut into my hurt hand. I gasped in pain.“Cassia, Cecilia’s back. I need to be with her.”“Are you kidding me?” I scoffed. “Where was she when you were struggling and at your worst? Who was there for you then? Now that she’s back, you want to be with her. Who am I to you?”He did not answer, probably because he did not know how.I ran around the desk to stand in front of him, but I had to look up. I usually switched out my high heels for flats in the office, so he was much taller than me.His sad expression surpri

    Sophie said she would go out with me for drinks, but I was so down that I did not even feel like drinking.I told her, “We can do that another day. I need to go home and get some sleep.”“I don’t think you can sleep.” She leaned against my car door and looked at me.“I can sleep just fine. I’ll fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.”Sophie opened the car door and pulled me out. “I’ll drive you home. It’s dangerous for you to drive in this state.”“What about your car?”“I’ll get my driver to drive it back later.”I did not argue and got into the back seat.Sophie drove really fast. Even though I was not asleep, I kept my eyes shut.While driving, she suddenly asked, “Have you slept with Zach?”There was no point in asking that after everything that just happened.I turned away and refused to answer.“That jerk! He slept with you while he thought about his ex! I really want to shoot him!”Sophie always walked the talk. If she had a gun, she would actually shoot hi

    Zach left. I knew that I could not make him stay.I stood against the wooden handrail on the stairs and heard him drive away.My ankle hurt a lot, and I felt dizzy.I felt like a complete loser before him.Mrs. Hudson, the housekeeper, came downstairs after she heard all the noise. She was still sleepy and unaware of what had happened. She seemed worried when she saw me looking so down. She brought me a pair of slippers and said, “Mrs. Gordon, don’t stand barefoot. It’s cold in the fall.”I did not move, so she crouched to put the slippers on me. When she touched my ankle, I cried out in pain. Startled, she pulled back. “Oh, no! Mrs. Gordon, your ankle is swollen!”She helped me to the couch and started searching the house. “I’ll get the first-aid kit. You need to apply some medicine and massage it. No, you should use ice to reduce the swelling first. Then, you can massage it.”Mrs. Hudson was rushing around like a butterfly, and everything around me looked blurry.Actually

    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

    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

    “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
