I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 470
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

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

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?

“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

“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
