I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 449
Rachel was adorable when she was sweet, but she could be unreasonable and stubborn too.At this moment, Zach crouched in front of her. “Tomorrow, I’ll help you with the castle all day. We’ll definitely finish it.”“Really?” Rachel looked unsure.“Of course. I wouldn’t lie to you.”“Pinky promise, then.” Rachel held out her hand, and Zach linked his pinky with hers.He was good at winning people over. Rachel had been dismissive of him, but the promise to finish the Lego castle won her over.Rachel wrapped her arms around Zach’s neck as he carried her to the car. Right then, I remembered a line from a movie. “There’s no lasting hate and no lasting love.”The love I once had for Zach faded, but my resentment toward him also disappeared.I decided to let it go. Love and hate were too complicated to dwell on.Mr. Dennis’s high school daughter was on winter break. So, after I dropped Rachel off at home, I asked them to spend the day together. Little kids loved hanging out with o

This morning, I had a meeting with Zach and the others. In the afternoon, I had a prenatal checkup. Zach insisted on coming with me. I tried to reject his offer, but he would not take no for an answer. He said that he was the father of the babies. Since he was so sure of himself, I did not want to argue. After all, he really was their father.I had been getting two checkups every month, and everything had been fine. The only issue was the occasional leg cramps. Right after my checkup, my leg cramped up again. Zach immediately helped me. “Are you okay?”“It’s a leg cramp. It feels like someone’s pulling on my tendons.” I described it clearly, and Zach looked at me. “I’ve never had my tendons pulled, but I can imagine that it must hurt a lot.”Well, that was obvious!He supported me as I slowly walked. Just then, I spotted someone. Every time I ran into her, I could not help but think the world was small. But since she was pregnant too, running into her here was not surpris

So, I asked, “How does it feel to see the person you loved having a baby with another man? It must hurt a lot, right?”He looked at me calmly. “What? Am I that obvious?”“Yeah.” I looked at him. “You don’t show it on the outside, but I can tell that your heart is breaking.”“You have great eyesight now. You can even see right through me.” He smiled. Then, he reached out and lightly touched my eyes.His fingers were warm, but I was not joking.Ever since Cecilia betrayed him, I had wanted to know how he felt. He must have been hurt, right? He once loved her deeply.I moved his hand away and gazed into his calm eyes.“Honestly, I stopped loving Cecilia three years ago,” he said softly.“Hah.” That was the funniest thing I had heard this year. “Is there any point in deceiving yourself? Or are you trying to say that you stopped loving her a long time ago and secretly fell for me without realizing it?”“If everyone else can see through her, I can too. When Cecilia suddenly disapp

Fame was ruthless. Was he really going to make Cecilia terminate her pregnancy just because it was a girl?Being the nosy person I was, I quickly rolled down the window to hear better.Cecilia’s panicked voice rang out. “Why would you want to get rid of the baby? Even if it’s a girl, it’s still our child!”Fame sneered. “Do I lack children? What I lack is a son!”“I’m already this far along. The doctor said that it would have to be induced labor.”“Then, induce labor.”“Fame!” Cecilia lost it and screamed, “How could you be so heartless?! Why are you doing this to me?!”Fame’s voice turned sharp and icy. “Cecilia, you’ve been with me for six months. You know exactly how much money you’ve spent. Without me, Wilson Corporation would’ve gone bankrupt ages ago! You’re no longer the Wilson family’s pampered heiress. The Wilson name is just an empty shell now!”I could not see Cecilia’s expression because they were arguing behind a pillar. However, I could imagine how furious she mus

Mr. Jenkins laughed. “I’m getting old. I haven’t been careful with my diet, so two of my three arteries are blocked. I’ll need to be more careful from now on.”A pretty woman took the flowers from me. “I’ll put these in a vase.”“Cassia, have a seat. You’re pregnant,” Mr. Jenkins said kindly. His group of young women quickly brought us tea and chairs. They were eager to help.So, I sat down with a cup of tea. Austin looked a lot like his dad, except for his eyes.His eyes were like his mom’s. She passed away when we were kids, but I still remembered her. Mrs. Jenkins had the most beautiful eyes. They were so stunning that they were like poetry. Her name was Poem Roberts, and it was fitting.Anyway, we chatted casually with Mr. Jenkins. “Where’s Austin? Is he still at work?” “He usually comes around 7 p.m. and leaves after a while,” Mr. Jenkins said.I thought about it. That matched the times Austin would show up at my place—around 9 p.m. It turned out that he came over afte

By the time I got home, Sophie was already back.She was watching a cartoon with Rachel. When she saw me, she asked, “Where have you been? Why are you home so late?”“I went for a checkup and stopped by to see Austin’s dad.”“Oh.” Her eyes widened. “I totally forgot about that.”“I already explained it to him. With how inattentive you are, we don’t expect you to remember. By the way, how did you even get downstairs?”“Oliver carried me to the elevator. He’s grown so much. He lifted me like it was nothing.”“What about Lucy?”“Why do you care?”I did not, really. I was just curious.Lucy had gone out. She could not sit still at home.Kingston showed up shortly after. After a quick chat, I took Rachel to her room to play. That way, he could be alone with Sophie. I even asked Mrs. Gibson to bring our dinner to the room to give them privacy.I had always been in favor of Sophie and Kingston dating. That was why I introduced them to each other in the first place.However, realiz

I was not afraid of giving birth. I did not know why I was so angry. Sophie actually knew nothing, and she had not done anything wrong. Austin was not in the wrong either. He was only preventing Sophie from future heartache. I regretted knowing so much. My heart was heavy, and I could not describe how I felt. Just then, I heard someone at the door. It was Lucy returning. I walked over and saw her grimace. Austin was walking behind her. I bet she was having fun when he took her home. Lucy suddenly seemed like a mere pawn. I poked my head into the living room. Sophie had finished her meal, and Kingston was wiping her mouth with a piece of tissue paper. I frowned at Sophie. “If you want to act all lovey-dovey, do it in your room.”“Who’s going to be my audience, then?” She looked at Austin. “Why do I have to avoid him?”I gave up and decided to let her be. She would regret it in the future. After that, I personally poured Austin a cup of tea. He took the cup and said

Rachel had already fallen asleep. So, I went downstairs for a glass of lemon water. Kingston happened to walk out of Sophie’s room too. He carefully shut the door, and I asked, “Is Sophie asleep?”“Yes.” Kingston laughed and said, “I was telling her a bedtime story, and she dozed off.”He had such patience to even tell Sophie a bedtime story. I could see how much he liked her. If Austin were not in the picture, I would be very happy to see their relationship progress. However, I was the one who had introduced Kingston to Sophie. Whenever I thought about Austin, I felt bad. “Have a safe drive home.”“Don’t worry. It’s just a short drive.” He kindly helped me down the stairs. “Oh, Sophie wants some pastries for breakfast tomorrow. What would you like to eat? I could buy some for you.” “She’s asking you to buy her breakfast? Don’t waste your energy. I can get the driver to buy it or just order delivery. You don’t have to trouble yourself.”“It’s no trouble at all. Sophie did

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

“You can eat them if you want. Otherwise, I’ll just throw them away.” “Don’t waste food.” She picked up an escargot with two fingers and sucked on it, like she was eating a field snail. I sat across from her and watched her eat.“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m cute?” “Yeah,” I said. “You look like a cute little pig when you eat.”“Why are you being so mean? Are you upset because of Cecilia? Are you worried that Zach might go back to her?” I got up from the couch. I was not going to waste my time worrying about Cecilia.I was actually thinking about Austin’s pale face.“Take your time eating. I’m going upstairs to hang out with Rachel.” I nodded at Kingston.Soon after, Cameron called. He was going to Switzerland for business, and he would drop by West City once he was done.Rachel quickly said, “Dad, don’t pick me up yet. Cassia’s taking good care of me. Don’t worry.”Cameron sighed on the phone and laughed a little. “Cassia, I don’t know if I should

I switched seats in the hall three times, but Cecilia stuck to me like glue. I could not get rid of her.By the time Zach finished his interview and came over, she was still challenging me. “Cassia, it doesn’t matter how much you do for Zach. Even if you give him everything, including your heart, he’ll come back to me as soon as I smile at him,” she said.Just then, Zach appeared next to our table. Cecilia kept going, as she was completely caught up in her own delusions.I looked up at Zach and said with a smile, “When did you become a butcher who took hearts?”Since he showed up, I took the chance to escape. I stood up and said, “Well, Zach’s here. Cecilia, why don’t you charm him and give him that smile you were talking about?”Then, I quickly slipped away. All evening, she had been annoying me like a fly. It totally ruined my appetite.I found a quiet spot and placed my food on the table. As soon as I sat down, Zach came over and sat across from me. I looked behind him and

When Zach saw Wilson Corporation’s bid, he tossed it aside. This meant that it had been eliminated.Wilson Corporation did not have enough funding, so they would not make it to the next round. If they could not keep up in terms of cash flow, it would delay the whole project.However, it would not be fun to eliminate them in the first round.I picked up Wilson Corporation’s bid again. Austin looked at me and asked, “What are you doing?”“Just having some fun.”Wilson Corporation would not make it to the final round anyway. At least, they could enjoy making it to the next round.When the names of the qualified companies were announced, Cecilia’s expression was strange. She looked both nervous and confident at the same time. It was like she had a split personality.The moment Zach read Wilson Corporation’s name, Cecilia quickly stood up and turned to me.I saw pride, satisfaction, and joy in her gaze.She raised her chin as she walked up to receive the bid from Zach. She was acti

There was nonstop clicking from the cameras, and their flashes were so bright that they almost made my eyes water.Just then, Zach handed me a pair of glasses. I put it on, and another reporter asked, “There’s a rumor that Zach was recently fired from Gordon Corporation’s board? Is it true?”Tyler laughed. He looked at Zach and then at me before he said, “You just said that it was a rumor, right?”I scanned the crowd and quickly spotted Cecilia. Her face was pale, and it looked like she was about to cry.At this point, she should realize that Zach had not been fired. He was not the nobody she thought he was.He was still the same Zach. In fact, he was even better. While he was away from the spotlight, Zach set Yonder Trading up for the next five years. Even without Gordon Corporation, he could still succeed in the business world with Yonder Trading.Cecilia was dumbfounded, but it did not seem like she could cry. It was almost funny.Her attitude had been completely different

Cecilia walked toward me in her high heels. “Cassia, you’re acting like a saint again. When Zach’s career fell apart four years ago, you stayed with him for three years. Now, you’re getting back with him again? You love him that much, huh? I’m telling you that Zach is a lost cause. No matter what you do, he’s not going to make a comeback unless you hand over Freeman Corporation to him. Other people date for fun, but you? You’re ready to risk everything for him.”“Cecilia.” I looked her straight in the eye. “That’s enough. No matter what, Zach used to be completely devoted to you. Not only have you dumped him, but you’re trash-talking him behind his back.”“Behind his back? I’d say the same thing to his face.” Cecilia raised her chin. “Sure, Zach loved me, but I don’t want some lovesick fool. It doesn’t matter that he turned against the Gordon family for me. Did I ask him to? If his life is a mess now, it’s his own fault.”“His fault is falling in love with you.”Cecilia smiled smug

The past few days had been particularly hectic. The signing of the Cameron Hill project was around the corner, and we were going to open for tender on the signing day. Once the project began, we would subcontract to many construction companies. We had a few construction companies under Freeman Corporation. However, it was going to be hard for us to tackle such a big project on our own. Hence, we needed to look for subcontractors. Doing both the signing and the tendering on the same day was a first in the industry. Actually, I did not want to rush things like that, but Austin wanted to be quick. He was afraid that his body would give up on him. Meanwhile, I was afraid that I would accidentally tell Sophie the truth one day. Sophie could not make it to the signing. She could not walk well, and she was basically resting. We had released the news about the tender a few days ago, and I had received tenders from many companies. Wilson Corporation was one of them. I glanced at the
