I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 1
I finally married Zach Gordon.He was a bit drunk when he placed his arms on the bed. The flower on his shirt pocket was very beautiful.I loved Zach so much that it hurt.I grabbed his tie, and he leaned down toward me.During our wedding, Zach kissed me for the first time. It was just a quick peck on my lips through the veil, but I knew that I would never forget how warm his lips felt.He finally kissed me, but it was a gentle kiss on my forehead instead of my lips.My heart fluttered uncontrollably, and I hugged him.Last month, Sophie Freeman asked me what I wished for on my birthday.I told her my wish was to sleep with Zach.She was surprised that I did not aim higher. Anyway, my biggest wish was indeed to sleep with Zach.Today, my wish came true.However, the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang and ruined the mood.Zach’s ringtone was like an alarm; even those far away could hear it.He glanced at his phone and ignored it, but it rang nonstop.He finally pi

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

Of course, that was not proof, but I had known Cecilia for many years. Based on the way she looked and her state of mind, I did not believe it.A woman with an incurable illness would not be in the mood to fight another woman over a man. She should be focusing on trying to stay alive.I disliked Cecilia’s smile, and it seemed like we were destined to be enemies.“Send her back.” I waved weakly at Sophie and Oliver.“You’re letting her go just like that?” Oliver shot to his feet. I pulled him back down. “You idiot! Are you trying to make Zach dislike me even more?”“You still care about his feelings?”“Yeah. He’s a jerk.”They kept arguing, and I felt like my head was going to explode.I pointed at Sophie. “You, take her back to the hospital.”Sophie stood up. “I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”“I don’t want coffee! Take her back now!” I shouted, and my voice cracked.They could see how devastated I was. After exchanging glances, they looked down and fell silent.After a

Zach pushed me into his car. By the time Sophie rushed out in anger, he had already driven away.I shook my head to tell her to calm down.Thanks to me and Cecilia, their fight never seemed to end.Zach drove quickly with a furious look. I had never seen him this mad before. Even when our new company was in serious trouble two and a half years ago, he was not this upset.As I fastened my seatbelt, I explained, “Cecilia’s back in the hospital. We didn’t do anything to her. We just talked.”He threw me a piece of paper. I picked it up and saw that it was from Cecilia. [Zach, I’m sorry for leaving. I shouldn’t have come back. I didn’t know you were married to Cassia. I shouldn’t have caused problems in your relationship. I just wanted to see you one last time before I die. Being with you these past few days has been enough. Really, Zach. These three days have meant everything to me. I’ll always love you. Cecilia.]The note was filled with sorrow, and anyone who read it would feel

Zach helped Rachel with the Legos until Sophie came to get us for the pizza buffet. “What’s going on here?” she asked in surprise.“It’s exactly what it looks like.”“When did he get here?”“After 9 a.m., I think.”“Is Yonder Trading closed or something? Why is he so free?”I rolled my eyes and helped Rachel put on her jacket. “We’re going for lunch.”Rachel did not want to stop. “But I want to keep building.”“Have a break. You can continue later. Let’s eat first.”“Mr. Gordon.” She called me “Cassia” but called Zach “Mr. Gordon.” I wondered why.“Can you play with me this afternoon?”“Probably not. I have paperwork to do,” Zach said.“I knew it! You can only play with me for a little while. Adults only stay in my life for a short time.”Sophie laughed so hard that she could not stand up straight.“He only spent a couple of hours with you. That’s even less than a short time.” I tied her scarf around her and said, “I’ll play with you this afternoon.”“But your belly’s t

Benjamin was caught off guard. But then, he smiled and shook her hand. “Nice to meet you. I’m Benjamin Lowe. You can call me Mr. Lowe.”I told him, “Can you buy some books and toys, like Legos, for her? She’ll be around quite frequently.”“Sure.” He then glanced awkwardly at the soup on the table. “Mr. Gordon brought this in early this morning.”“Drink it or toss it. Just don’t bring it in next time.” I took Rachel’s hand and walked into my office.There was a couch and a coffee table in the corner of my huge office. Benjamin quickly returned with the toys and books. He even got a playmat, so Rachel could sit on it and play. He piled everything on the table.Whenever I was not busy, I would play with her for a bit and tell her a story or two. Most of the time, she would play quietly by herself.Rachel was sharp but also so sweet that she tugged at my heartstrings. For example, when I said that I would spend more time with her, she told me, “You should work. Don’t waste time on

It was late at night, and everyone was too tired to do anything. I was heavily pregnant, and Sophie had no energy left. So, she stopped fighting back. She just collapsed onto the bed and pulled the blanket over her head.Lucy had already fallen asleep. She was young, and she could sleep through anything, including all our talking.Austin was as cold as ice while he sat on the couch. Since I could not convince him to budge, I gave him some water and went back to sleep.He could do whatever he wanted.When I closed the door, I saw him staring at the bed. The look in his eyes was soft and almost dreamy. I could sense love from where I stood.Did he really love Lucy? I could not believe it because I never thought he felt that way about her.I was exhausted, and my mind was all over the place. I went to sleep and had no idea when Austin left.The next morning, Sophie appeared at my door with a pillow.“If you didn’t sleep well last night, you can sleep a little longer. You’re

“I’m not scared. With Austin to protect me, what do I have to worry about? But I think you’re pretty pathetic, Sophie. I show up, and you just give me your room. Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Lucy shook her head. “So pathetic.”Sophie simply stared at her. Lucy was nervous, but she was trying to put on a tough front.Right after, Sophie wore an eerie and unsettling smile.“Fine. You want to sleep with me? Let’s do it. After all, I’m scared of you.” With that, she went back into the room. “It’s time for a shower. Who’s going first, you or me?”Since Lucy had won, she gave me a smug look. “Sophie’s so easy to deal with.”“I don’t think you’ll enjoy sleeping in the same room with her as much as you think,” I warned.The room next door became eerily quiet after I returned to my room.I knew that Sophie would not hurt Lucy. She was not one to go overboard.I texted her. [If you don’t want to share a room with her, come to mine.][It’s fine. The bed’s big enough,] Sophie replied.Alright, then.
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 436
As I approached Sophie’s room, the yelling got increasingly loud and made my ears hurt.I opened the door to see her dragging Lucy out by the ear. Lucy was screaming, “Sophie, let go! You’re a barbarian! Austin told me to stay here! Who are you to kick me out? This isn’t even your house!”“This is my house.” I stepped aside to avoid the chaos. “And I’m telling you to leave.”“Austin said I could stay!” “Austin isn’t the king of the world.” I sneered. “Why should I listen to him?”Before I could finish, Sophie had already dragged Lucy to the door. I opened it wide so that she could toss her out.Lucy clung to the doorframe like her life depended on it. “I’m not leaving! Sophie, if you kick me out, what will you do when Austin comes looking for me?”Sophie grabbed a feather duster that Mrs. Gibson had left behind and marched toward Lucy.She started screaming, “Sophie, what are you doing?! Don’t hit me! Sophie! Stop!”Sophie raised the feather duster up high. I knew that she wo

Sophie completely ruined a happy moment.I looked at her. “You’re not still hoping for something with Austin, are you?”“Of course not!” she raised her voice. “I’m not a masochist!”Just then, Mrs. Gibson knocked on the door. “Ms. Cassia Freeman, Ms. Sophie Freeman, someone’s here to see you.”Who could it be this late?We went downstairs and saw Lucy at the front door with a suitcase.She simply would not leave us alone.My head hurt when I saw her.Lucy saw us and walked right in without taking off her shoes. “I told you Cassia and Sophie know who I am! Cassia, your housekeeper’s so rude. She wouldn’t let me in.”“Hey, what are you doing?” Sophie blocked her path. “Take another step, and I’ll get security to throw you out.”“Starting today, I’ll be staying here.” Lucy sat on her suitcase and grinned.“What are you talking about? Are you sure you’re not crazy?”I did not want to argue with her. “Did Austin kick you out?”Lucy was like glue. Once she stuck to you, you coul

“Do you want to talk to Sophie?” I asked, even though I knew he would not say anything nice.As expected, he wore the usual mocking smile. “Talk to that idiot? No thanks.”He hung up, and the screen went black.I was so mad that I felt like my heart might stop. Austin never got angry or showed big emotions, but his calm sarcasm was enough to drive anyone crazy.Just then, Sophie ran over and held out her hand. She was sweating and out of breath. “Where’s Rachel’s water bottle? She’s thirsty.”I gave it to her, and she asked, “Who were you talking to?”“An idiot,” I replied.“Oh.” She ran off again without giving it a second thought.We ended up playing there until sundown. Rachel was all sweaty, so I helped her change in the car. Although it was already spring, it was still a little chilly without the sun.We headed home and invited Kingston to join us for dinner.He gave Sophie the mechanical kite. Our garden was big, so she could fly it anytime.We did not usually have gue

“Let Bob go. Tell Zach to hang the thermos on its neck.”“Isn’t that a bit much?”“He told me that if I didn’t drink his soup, Bob could have it. So, what’s the problem with letting Bob fetch it?”Mrs. Gibson walked away with a troubled expression, and I continued building the sandcastle.Rachel suddenly looked up and asked, “Cassia, don’t you like that guy anymore?”“I don’t like him anymore,” I said.“Is he bad?”“He’s not bad. I just don’t like him anymore.”“You can like my dad, then. He’s handsome, and he knows how to make cheese pizza.”Well, my standards were a little higher than someone who could make cheese pizza.I was not sure what happened to Zach’s soup because I never saw it. His cooking was not that great, and we already had good cooks at home. Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Ziegler, and Mrs. Harrison made amazing soups. They were from different places, so I got to try food from all over.As such, Zach’s soup was not needed.I never thought there would come a day when I

“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
