I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 58
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

Wait a minute. Why did I see Zach amid the crowd? Were my eyes playing tricks on me? Did I see everyone as Zach?What was this? Was Zach the only man in the world? Were all the other men dead to me?After that, I blacked out completely. I blacked out after drinking a bottle of beer and half a glass of red wine. My alcohol tolerance was horrible. I woke up in the middle of the night due to thirst. With my eyes barely open, I reached out to find some water on the bedside table. However, I seemed to touch someone’s hand. I was groping around with my right hand, and my left hand was under the blanket. Whose hand was it on the bedside table? While I did not find out, someone placed a cup into my hand. I closed my eyes and drank the water. I was too thirsty, so my throat felt like it was on fire. After gulping down the water, the burning sensation eased, and my throat felt a lot better. I resumed sleeping. It was a weird experience to fall asleep while drunk. I did not

“Hmph,” I answered in annoyance. “I’ll wait for you in the car.” He exited the dining room as I slowly finished my oats. I sounded annoyed because I was angry at him. After I signed the agreement yesterday, Yonder Trading was no longer mine. Cecilia had become involved. I did not think that I would get over it any time soon. I walked out the door after I finished breakfast. Then, I got into Zach’s car in the garden. He was driving, but I sat in the backseat. My head was hurting a little. I should not have trusted Sophie. She claimed that good alcohol would not cause a hangover. If that was true, why was I feeling the aftermath? I rolled down the window, and the breeze on my face felt comfortable. Zach sat up straight as he drove. I could only see the top half of his face in the rearview mirror. Regardless, his face looked perfect. I was in such a plight because I was shallow. I was scrolling through my phone, with my head leaning against the window, when Sophie

My hand trembled, and I almost dropped my phone. [What do you mean? Zach wasn’t at home.] [Can’t he come back? When he returned, you were pouring your heart out, with your arms around Hayden. Everyone was trying to stop you, but we all failed.] [What else did I say?] [You said that Zach was nothing compared to Hayden. He was just a blind dog who fell in love with a pick-me like Cecilia. I can’t remember the other things you said because you were talking a lot. But I recorded everything. Do you want to hear it?][What the hell, Sophie? You had time to record, but you didn’t stop me…] I was extremely embarrassed. I wished that I could get out of the car right then. No wonder Mrs. Hudson had been giving me strange looks. No wonder Zach stared at me with a weird look in his eyes. Why did I do that last night? [Don’t worry. You can blame it on the alcohol. Besides, you weren’t wrong. Those were drunk words, but sober thoughts…] Sober thoughts? How would I face Zach again?

“Drunk words, sober thoughts.” “What were my sober thoughts?” Zach gave me a slight glance and walked into the elevator. “Look at where you’re going. Otherwise, the next thing you bump into won’t be my chest.” I walked into the elevator and stood next to him. I promised myself that I would not drink a single drop of alcohol again in my entire life. It was either that or train my alcohol tolerance. It was extremely embarrassing to have blacked out after a bottle of beer and have Zach ridicule me. Cecilia was already there and trying her best to solidify her presence as the new boss. She was chatting happily with the secretaries. I also noticed that there was a small gift on everyone’s desk. This was Cecilia’s best trick. She was skilled at buttering people up. Back when we were in school, she bought people off in the same way to get a position in the student union. However, she was so good at it that everyone found her sincere. It did not look like she was faking it. T

Everyone started whispering among themselves in the meeting room. I remained calm and collected as I observed their expressions. Cecilia frowned. I believed that she was unhappy with my arrangement. Even if she was unhappy, she could not do anything about it. She really thought that after Zach transferred his shares to her, they would be more powerful? She was wrong. Their powers would only weaken, not strengthen. Due to the transfer, Zach had lost some of his rights. I was the most powerful shareholder there. They were both just small shareholders in my eyes. Zach browsed through the proposal and said, “I’m fine with it.” He was very decisive. Cecilia cocked an eyebrow in surprise, but I guessed that she would not say anything about it. She had always been a considerate and nice girl in front of Zach. She put the file aside and smiled gently as she looked up. “I have no opinion. I’ll go along with Zach.” I closed my eyes. Both of them were seated together. 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

“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

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
