I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 74
The guy I liked was right before me on that beautiful night.He said, “Cassia, I like you but only as a childhood friend. I don’t feel the same way you do now, and I probably won’t in the future.”It shocked me, but I was good at getting over things. After a couple of tough days, I was back to normal.I promised myself that I would make Zach fall in love with me.So, I began a long pursuit and waited. After college, Zach joined Gordon Corporation and started dating Cecilia, which made me feel completely defeated.Even though I liked him, I had my principles. When he started dating Cecilia, I disappeared from his life.Cecilia set up several gatherings, but I never attended any of them.I knew that she was trying to show off her relationship with Zach to annoy me. I was not going to let her get to me.Later, something went wrong at the branch office that Zach was in charge of. His father got furious and attempted to remove him from the board. That was when Cecilia vanished witho

I felt nervous and guilty for no reason.Austin had seen us at the restaurant, so Zach must have as well. He never loved me, and with Austin hitting him, it made sense if he wanted a divorce because of all the problems between us.My fingers were shaking a little. I knew that Zach had no feelings for me, but I did not want a divorce. At least, if we lived in the same house, I could see him more often.I was pathetic.I walked over to him and asked in a slightly shaky voice, “You wanted to talk to me?”“Yes.” He finished his wine and put the empty glass on the coffee table. “Sit down.”His politeness made me even more anxious.I sat on the couch across from him, while he clasped his hands and rested his elbows on his knees.His gaze made me uneasy. He was staring at me like he was trying to figure me out.I just happened to be at the same restaurant. What was the big deal?I never went there to confront him. Besides, he was wrong for having dinner with Cecilia behind my ba

“Go to the guest room if you can’t sleep. You’re really annoying.”“As if you can sleep.” She sat up in bed. “Call Austin for me and see if he’s home.”I rolled my eyes. “You’re so infuriating.”“That doesn’t matter. Just call him.”I gave in and gave Austin a call.He sounded sober, so I figured he had not drunk much.“Cassia?”“Where are you?”“Having a drink.”“Still at the club?”“Yeah. We haven’t changed locations. Why?”“When are you going back?”“Cassia, what’s going on?”I looked at Sophie, who gave me a knowing look, so I could only smile awkwardly. “Just missed you.”“I’ll head home later.”“Whose home?”“Cassia.”“Okay, bye.”Before Austin got angry, I quickly hung up. “You heard him. He’s still drinking.”“Austin doesn’t usually drink.”“He said it depends on who he’s with.”Sophie groaned and buried her face in a pillow. “I’m screwed.”“Screwed? Why?”“There are two types of people I can never compete with.”“What?”“One’s a dead person.”“What do

I almost died of laughter because of Cecilia. She approached me so boldly to look for my husband. I had no idea where she got the nerve.To her, it did not seem to matter if Zach and I were married. In her mind, Zach was hers, and she had every right to ask me where he was.I took a sip of tea from my desk. Hailey had picked a good one this time. It was fragrant and just what I liked.I calmly enjoyed my tea and acted as if Cecilia was not even there.However, she sat down across from me. She was trying to pass the time since Zach was not around. I had a ton of work to do and no time for her nonsense.So, I put down my teacup. “This is an office. We only talk business here. If you’re looking for a man, try No. 48 North Street.”“What do you mean?” She looked confused.“They have all kinds of men there. You can pick anyone you want—tough, slim, young, or old.”“You’re telling me to go to a strip club?” Cecilia looked insulted. She always thought of herself as classy and felt tha

I smiled coldly at her until she grew bored and turned away.“Cassia, I feel sorry for you. You’ve loved Zach for so many years and been so good to him, but he still doesn’t love you,” Cecilia suddenly said with a sincere expression. It was as if she was genuinely trying to understand the situation.“Because he has bad tastes.” Since she asked so boldly, I decided to answer her.Cecilia did not mind it. “What does a few harsh words matter? Cassia, you need to think about why Zach still doesn’t love you, despite everything you’ve done for him. You think I’m selfish for leaving when he needed me most. Yes, I admit that I was.” She leaned against the wall and smiled sweetly. Her smile was irritating.“You spent three years with him so that he could regain his confidence and even started Yonder Trading to help him with Gordon Corporation. I know you’ve done a lot, but what about it? As soon as I came back and he heard about me, he left you to be with me on your wedding night.” She put

I walked in, and a housekeeper immediately approached us. “Madam, you’re back.”Madam? Who was she referring to?The housekeeper looked familiar. She might have worked for the Wilson or Gordon family before.The attentive housekeeper gave us some house slippers, while Cecilia smiled and said, “This is Cassia Freeman, a good childhood friend of mine. Mrs. Zimmer, do you remember her?”“Oh, Ms. Freeman! Yes, I remember.”“I haven’t been friends with you since I was ten.” I put on the slippers and walked inside.As soon as I entered, I had a strong feeling about the place.What feeling?There were many types of homes: new homes, marital homes, and homes shared with parents. You could tell a lot from the setting and decor.Looking around the living room, the words “love nest” came to mind.The place was full of Zach’s presence.For example, there was a photo of Zach and Cecilia on the living room wall. Zach was in a white shirt and pants, while Cecilia was in a white lace dress.

“Did I break up with Zach?” she shamelessly said. “I don’t think I broke up with him. I just left without saying anything.”“But you wrote a breakup letter.”“I never wrote the words ‘break up’ in that letter.”I had seen that letter. After Cecilia suddenly left, Zach searched everywhere for her. Later, Mrs. Wilson gave him a letter and said that it was from Cecilia.After that, he got so drunk that he was still holding on to that letter when I dragged him home from the bar.I glanced at it and found it highly pretentious.She claimed that she was tired of seeing him so depressed, so she left to give him a chance to move on.I took a photo of it and sent it to Sophie, who said that it was “nonsense.”Thinking back on it, there really was no mention of breaking up.Cecilia was incredibly cunning. She left herself an out in case she could not find someone better than Zach.When his career took off, she came back as soon as she heard the news.I looked at her pretty face and di

“I’m fine.” I shook my head. “I didn’t have an accident. I just ran a red light.”“You scared me! I thought you were hurt! Running a red light isn’t a big deal! Why did they take you here?! I’m going to talk to them!”Once Sophie got angry, no one could dissuade her from anything.I did not stop her. After a while, she came back looking sad.She crouched before me and looked at me worriedly. “They said that you were out of it. What happened?”“I…” Looking at Sophie made me want to cry.Then, I did. I cried my heart out in front of her.She was worried because I did not usually cry. Most things were not a big deal for me.“Cassia, don’t cry. D*mn it. It was Zach, wasn’t it? What did he do to you? I’ll deal with him.”I could not stop once I started crying. I kept crying even when I was in Sophie’s car.She sat in front of me with a box of tissues and gave me one tissue after another.I tried to explain through my tears, but it came out messy. I was not sure if she understood.

Sophie knocked on my door the next day around 7 a.m.I only managed to fall asleep at about 2 a.m., so I had a bad headache. I sat on the bed as she ran over excitedly and asked, “Are you busy this morning?” “Go away.” I lay down again. “Come to the city hall with me. I’m getting married!”“Why do you need me there? Am I going to breastfeed you?”“You don’t have milk right now.” I was disgusted by our conversation. Rachel sat up from the bed and asked, “Why are you going to the city hall?”“To get married.”“Shouldn’t you be going to a church for that? There’s supposed to be a priest with a bible that asks if you’re willing to marry this person next to you regardless of… something?”“That’s a religious wedding. Besides, it has to be lawful. What we’re doing today is the legal side of things.” Sophie carried Rachel up from the bed. “Do you want to be a witness to our marriage?” “Yay, sure!” Rachel immediately beamed and agreed. “I want to be the priest who holds the bibl

Cecilia had no shame at all. I would be speechless if this worked on Zach. After a while, she walked out dejectedly with her flowers. It seemed like she did not even manage to enter his office. She stood there in annoyance for a while before she suddenly looked over in my direction. I could see her, but she might not be able to see me. I was on a high floor, and the sun was blinding. Right then, Hailey gave me a call. I knew that she wanted to rant about Cecilia. Sure enough, Hailey started to complain, “Ms. Freeman, Cecilia is really shameless. I’ve never seen such a shameless woman. When Mr. Gordon was cut off from Gordon Corporation, she abandoned him immediately. Now that she knows he’s going to be Gordon Corporation’s acting CEO, she instantly starts visiting him again. I really can’t stand her.” “Hasn’t she always been like this?” I was unfazed. “Fortunately, Mr. Gordon is not willing to see her.” Hailey sounded relieved. “Do you really think he won’t see her fo

I looked at Austin’s pale face, and I was at a loss for words. His argument was reasonable, and I had no way to refute it. I was upset, but I could not cry. I felt a heavy feeling in my chest, and I found it hard to breathe. He looked at me and suddenly smiled. “Look at your face. Have I ever said that I liked Sophie? I don’t like girls like her. I prefer girls like you who are smart, beautiful, and decisive. Why don’t you marry me after you give birth to your babies?”I did not want to joke around with him. It was not funny.After that, Lucy exited the bridal shop and got into the backseat of the car. I stood in front of the bridal shop and watched as his car disappeared into the corner. “Cassia,” Sophie called out to me. I turned around. “What?”“Whose side are you on? I realize you’ve been extra nice to Austin recently. Have you forgotten that he’s a jerk?”“Watch your mouth.”I got into my car unhappily. “I’ll make a move first.”“Aren’t we having dinner together to

I knew that he was looking at the photos of him and Sophie in her wedding gown. Perhaps this would be the only time in his entire life that he could stand next to Sophie while she was dressed in a wedding gown. I felt the waterworks coming. When I tried to look for tissue papers in my bag, Zach called me. He sounded a bit excited. “Cassia, there’s this person overseas who has the same blood type as Austin. He has ALS, which is a fatal motor neuron disease. His family has already signed an organ donation form for him, and his condition recently worsened. He may pass in a month’s time, so I got in contact with them. His family has agreed to donate his heart to Austin.” “Really?” It was good news, and I almost leaped in joy. I glanced at Austin excitedly. He was staring intently at his phone, so he did not notice me. “Does Austin have to leave immediately?”“It’s still early. We can leave when the donor’s condition worsens.” I estimated the time. Zach said that it would ta

Sophie could easily start a fight wherever she went. I immediately went over and saw that Austin’s forehead had turned red. It seemed to be getting swollen. I kicked Sophie in anger. “Is there something wrong with you? What are you doing?” “Why did you kick me? Didn’t you hear what he just said?”Austin bent down and picked up Sophie’s phone for her. “Luckily, your phone screen isn’t cracked. It’s fine if my skull is cracked; it can heal.” Sophie took her phone, and it immediately unlocked due to face ID. Her wallpaper was a photo of Kingston and her. She had just changed the wallpaper yesterday. It used to be a photo of me and her. Austin was the one who had taken that photo. Even though Austin was not directly in the photo, it felt like it was a photo of the three of us. He must have noticed it. He smiled and said, “I’ll make a move. Tell Lucy I’ll be waiting for her in the car.” Austin walked out of the bridal shop, and Sophie looked dispirited. “I was quite happy, bu

“You’re getting married too?”“I’ll be your best man or maid of honor. What? You’re too cheap to pay for the outfits?”“You, my best man?”“Look around you. Are there any single people left?”Sophie rolled her eyes. “Hah, I wasn’t planning on inviting you.”Kingston tried to shake Austin’s hand, but Austin ignored him. Sophie got mad and pulled Kingston away. “Don’t pay attention to him. He thinks he’s too good for anyone. He’s crazy.”“Sophie,” I warned.“What? He’s always acting crazy!” she yelled.I was not sure if Austin really wanted to be Sophie’s best man, or if it was just an excuse to come here.Anyway, Austin went to change too. I could not tell the difference between the best man’s and groom’s outfits. However, the difference between the bridesmaid and bride was clear.While Sophie was posing in front of the mirror in her wedding dress, Austin came out of the fitting room.Austin was very thin, and the suit hung loosely on him, but it still looked good.He had a

Sophie’s wedding preparations were progressing quickly. She limped to work in the mornings and dragged me along in the afternoons to buy wedding stuff.I felt like the wedding was just an excuse for her to go shopping.“This afternoon, Kingston and I are trying on our wedding outfits. You should come too.”“It’s your wedding. Why should I come?”“To help me choose! I look good in everything, so it’s hard to pick.”“If it’s that hard, just buy them all. Aren’t you rich?”“Why are you so grouchy?” She leaned closer and observed me. “Cassia, are your hormones off balance?”“I’m pregnant, so everything’s a mess right now.”After some thought, I called Austin and told him, “Sophie’s trying on wedding dresses this afternoon.”“Okay,” he replied in his usual lifeless tone.“Aren’t you going to say anything to her?”“Don’t eat too much. The wedding dress will be a pain to alter.”I was so angry that I hung up. He was so stubborn. I was sure that he would regret it and cry later.M

Austin was the weakest among us when we were kids. He could not climb trees, run, or do anything physically demanding. Instead, he would play board games and puzzles with us.Sophie always thought that he was smart, and she admired him.I never imagined that someone I grew up with might die so soon.“You should leave,” he said weakly. “She should be done by now.”“Austin.” I wanted to say something more, but he turned his back to me.He did not want to listen, so I had no choice but to leave.As I reached the door, I heard him say, “Actually, this is a good thing.”Was he saying that Sophie marrying Kingston was a good thing?What was good about it?I felt like grabbing Sophie over. I wanted to point at the dying man in bed and say, “This guy loves you more than you know. He helped you test Kingston’s character. He thinks about you all the time. He comes to see you every night using his half-sister as an excuse, but he’s dying. He doesn’t want you to be sad, so he plans to die

“I just went for a checkup.” Austin walked over to me. “Why are you sweating so much?”He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and gave it to me. Honestly, only Austin would still carry a handkerchief in his condition.I wiped my sweat. “I came with Sophie to get her cast off, and I thought I’d stop by to see you.”“Get her cast off? I thought that wasn’t until next month?”“She insisted on getting it off today. The doctor checked, and her bone is healing well, so it’s fine for her to take it off.”“When did she start caring so much about her looks?” Austin walked back to his room, and I followed him.He sat down and seemed a little out of breath. I had already asked the doctor about him. Austin could not engage in any physical activity; he could not even walk fast.I was about to pour him some water, but he waved me off. “Don’t bother. I’m not thirsty. How could I let you take care of me? I might be a patient, but you’re pregnant.”At least, he could still joke. If I were him
