I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 53
My mom suddenly hugged me and started bawling. I could not remember the last time she cried like this.She held me close, and I noticed her body trembling a little.It seemed like she had lost weight recently, probably because of all the worry I had caused her.As my mom cried, I saw my dad and Zach standing by the bed. My dad’s eyes were teary, but it was not from sadness.Zach looked even calmer.I gently patted my mom’s back until she finally calmed down and let me go.I wiped her tears with my sleeve, and she sniffled. “Heaven is on our side. We’ve always been a good family, and you’ve been a blessing to us. How could something so unlucky happen to you?”“Just get to the main point.” My dad cleared his throat.My mom wiped her tears again with my sleeve and smiled. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were easy to see. “Sweetheart, you’re not sick. It was a mistake, a misdiagnosis.”It was strange, but I suddenly felt at peace when I heard that. Maybe I had been wor

“Where did that wind come from?”“The air conditioner broke down at that time, but it was fixed later on.”“I see,” my mom said softly. “It’s quite a coincidence. It’s not really anyone’s fault.”“We still made a mistake. After this, our hospital plans to replace all the sample containers to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” Hayden sincerely apologized. “Mr. Freeman, Mrs. Freeman, we’re truly sorry. It was a mistake on our part.”The hospital director also apologized and said, “We’ll suspend that nurse and make improvements to the whole lab.”My mom was kind, and she felt sorry for the nurse. “Well, it’s not really anyone’s fault. The wind blew off the labels. I would’ve made the same mistake.”“Mrs. Freeman, you’re very understanding and kind.” The director was so moved that he almost cried. He reached out to shake my mom’s hand.“Let’s see what my daughter thinks.” My dad turned to me. I licked my lips and pretended to consider it for a moment. “Actually, it’s not a big de

We walked out of the surveillance room and stood by the window at the end of the hallway.Zach looked down at me since I was shorter and wearing slippers.“About the thing you mentioned yesterday, I’m fine with it,” I said weakly.He pretended not to understand and asked, “What thing?”Zach still acted clueless after he got what he wanted. But since I was in the wrong, I reluctantly answered, “The matter of transferring your shares.”“So, you’re okay with letting Cecilia join Yonder Trading just to protect your friend?”I remained silent. I had already asked Hayden to help me against his conscience, so I did not want to make things worse for him.I could not do that. Even though I was not perfect, I was not Cecilia.Zach looked at me for a moment and walked away.I felt down and frustrated as I returned to my ward. Meanwhile, my family was happily getting everything ready for me to leave the hospital.“We should avoid hospitals as much as we can,” my mom said. “By the way, wh

Suddenly, I found it really funny and started laughing. I continued as I entered the car. Even after I buckled my seatbelt, I kept laughing so hard that I ended up lying down on the seat.Cecilia could not stand my laughter and hung up.I almost could not breathe. I finally stopped laughing after Zach’s car left the parking lot and turned a corner.Then, he handed me the share transfer agreement that required my signature. I flipped through it and saw Cecilia’s name. “Is it really that urgent?” I asked unhappily.“Just sign it. It’s not a divorce agreement.”I looked at him. “Isn’t that just a matter of time?”“At least, not right now.”Right, Cecilia was not sick anymore. So, Zach had no reason to divorce me to be with her.Before I signed, I made one request.I uncapped the pen with my mouth and muttered, “Get Cecilia to move out.”I knew that he heard me. I gave him enough time to think about it. He had until we got home.It did not take long for him to decide and say,

I invited Sophie over for buffalo wings and gave Hayden a call.He sounded like his usual self and even seemed relaxed. “Are you home?”“I heard that you got suspended.”“Yes,” he said as if it was nothing serious.“Hayden—” I started, but he cut me off. “When I agreed to this, I was ready for anything. I’m an adult, and I know what I’m doing.”The more he said, the more uneasy I felt.He laughed and said, “Why don’t you invite me to dinner, then?”“Come over and have buffalo wings.”He hesitated. “Will I see Zach?”“Don’t tell me you’re scared of him.”“I’m worried that I might hit him.” Hayden sneered. “I don’t get why he likes Cecilia. If I were him, I’d choose you.”“Too bad. You’re not him.”That evening, I waited for him at the garden gate. Sophie peeked around next door, and I pulled her inside. “What are you looking at? You’re acting like a thief.”“Where’s that woman?”“She moved out.”“Really?” Sophie was happy. “What made her change her mind?”“I made a deal

Hayden had brought some good wine. While I did not care much about wine, Sophie knew a lot about it.I learned from her and swirled the wine in my glass. Sophie said I should not swirl it randomly. I had to follow a certain rhythm so that the wine coated the inside of the glass evenly. This helped me to see how the wine clung to the glass.The wine’s taste depended on how much extract it had and how balanced the glycerol, alcohol, and sugar were. When these components were just right, the wine tasted good.I could not really tell if a wine was good or bad. Sophie said that I might as well drink cheap wine since I would not notice the difference. Even so, I liked how the wine dripped down my glass after a swirl. It was called “wine tears.”I found it quite poetic. It looked like the wine was crying, even though it was just the drinker swirling it.According to Sophie, it was also called, “wine legs,” but that was not as poetic as “wine tears.”I preferred the latter because it m

Austin frowned at me. “What?”He had no idea about the whole thing. I had not told him. If I had, someone as principled as him would have been really angry with us.“Cassia’s stomach ulcer is healing, so it’s like she’s returned from the brink of death,” Sophie said with an awkward laugh.I knew that I could not keep it from Austin forever. He would find out eventually, and I knew what he would say.He would tell me that loving someone too much and doing everything for them would leave me with nothing but more disappointment.I was already completely disheartened. I caused this whole drama. I felt like a fool for coming up with this story. Zach knew all along.He found out that night when I had buffalo wings. He took me to an alternative medicine doctor just to confirm it.Yet, he did not expose me. He waited for the right moment to negotiate.I loved him wholeheartedly, but he schemed against me.I wanted to cry, but if I did, things would get even worse.So, under the inf

“I asked you a question earlier, and you still haven’t answered. Do you like me or not?”He probably did. He had gone against his principles for me and even gotten himself suspended. I was not sure if it would affect his career in the future.He had sacrificed so much for me. It was not worth it.He gently patted my hand. “You’re drunk. Go back to your seat.”I asked because I was drunk!Once I was sober, I would not have the courage to ask.I refused to let him go. “Answer me. I’m not leaving if you don’t.”“What’s the point of answering?”“If you like me, I’ll break up with Zach and be with you.” Hayden was handsome and nice to me. How was he any worse than Zach?So, why should I be stubborn? There were other men out there.Just thinking about it made me happy. My love for Zach had been unrequited. If I got with Hayden, our love would be mutual.I did not even know what it was like to be loved and cared for.I shook his shoulders. “Hey, answer me. If you don’t, I’ll assum

“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

“I think it’s great that he has his own principles. A lot of people today don’t have any,” Sophie interjected.It was time to change the subject. Everyone had their own views on such things anyway.“Let’s toast to those with principles,” I said to Rachel.She raised her juice cup in response. “Cheers!”“Alright, cheers.” Oscar and Ellie smiled as they clinked glasses with us.We finished eating, and Sophie had two glasses of wine. I did not allow her to have more. Kingston finally returned as well.He was not full, so he ate the leftovers.Sophie asked him how things went, and he looked up in confusion. “The head of the company whose tech was stolen came too. He claimed that it wasn’t their tech, but they’re working on something similar. He kept promoting it.”“What happened after that?”“Nothing. The police just let those two individuals go.” Kingston shook his head and went back to eating.The whole thing seemed strange. I thought about it, but I could not put my finger on

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

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

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
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 427
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
