Semua Bab I'm Glad We Met After Marriage: Bab 111 - Bab 120

I let her in, and sure enough, she walked over with a charming smile. It was so sweet that it felt like candy had spilled everywhere.“Mrs. Gordon, you’re here,” she said softly. “Perfect timing! I ordered your favorite lavender cake, and it just arrived. You should try it.”Cecilia was great at making people feel good. She knew how to read the room. Whenever she wanted to befriend someone, she would flatter them until they were delighted.She brought over a nice paper box and placed it in front of Mary. Then, she sat next to her. “Mrs. Gordon, try this and see if you like it.”Mary smiled politely and pushed the box toward me. “Cassia, you try it for me. I haven’t been eating sweets lately because I don’t want to gain weight. My waist is getting bigger.”Cecilia’s smile became a little awkward, but she still remained sweet. “Oh my, look at all this food! Mrs. Zara’s cooking is amazing. I sometimes crave her dishes.”“Oh my, I only brought two sets of utensils. Why don’t you go g

I nudged Cecilia aside with my hip and sat next to Rachel.Zach took the front seat, while Cameron and I sat on either side of Rachel.The car could only fit five people. As such, Cecilia had to use another car so that the driver could do his job.I could tell that Rachel did not like her. Kids could sense certain things. They would not be fooled like adults.Cecilia was reluctant, but she had no choice.Even though Zach probably wanted to get out and be with her, he could not.If he left, it would give me time to discuss my partnership with Cameron.Rachel loved her doll and hugged it tightly. She looked up at me and said, “Cassia, what should we name her?”“How about ‘Long Hair?’” I suggested.She looked at me. “That’s it?”“Isn’t it a good name?”She smiled and kissed the doll’s head. “Long Hair, you’re so cute.”She accepted the name even though I was not good at naming things.My pets always had simple names. For example, I once had a dog named Mop because of how it

Sophie was surprised. “Why? Aren’t you the Gordon family’s priority now? How did you end up without a place to stay?”“Quit that nonsense. I have a kid with me.”“Isn’t the baby still in your belly?”“She’s six years old.”“Wow, she’s grown fast!”I did not waste time chatting and told her to go home right away.Rachel was already very tired. She was only six, after all. She fell asleep as she leaned on me in the car.When we reached Sophie’s house, she was not home yet. Nevertheless, my aunt was happy to see me. “Cassia, you’re here! Sophie called earlier but didn’t explain much. Oh, who’s this pretty little girl?”“Aunt Lauren, we’ll be staying here for a few days.”Lauren followed me. “Of course, of course! Mr. Ziegler, Mrs. Ziegler, please get a guest room ready and make the bed.”The driver then carried the sleeping Rachel inside. After all that running around, my back was hurting.I followed them upstairs while I held my back. Mrs. Ziegler had made the bed, and the dri

After I cursed Zach in my head a thousand times, I got up to change my clothes.Sophie hugged her pillow and looked at me. “Where are you going?”“Zach’s coming to pick me up soon.”“Are you out of your mind?”“I’m not. He took Cameron to the Gordon family’s mansion. Didn’t you hear?” I felt so frustrated.I could see that Sophie was about to curse.I did not waste any more time with her and changed my clothes before heading to Rachel’s room.Just then, Lauren stepped out of Rachel’s room with a proud look. “I finally got her to sleep. I’m really good at babysitting, aren’t I? Cassia, if you need help after your baby is born—”“Mom, stop. Cassia’s baby is precious. You won’t be taking care of it.”I hurried into Rachel’s room. She was fast asleep, and I did not want to wake her up.“She looks so peaceful. Moving her would not be convenient.” Sophie leaned on me. “Are you really going to take her back home because Zach said so?”Sophie was right. I could just tell Cameron tha

I took Rachel downstairs for breakfast, and Mrs. Ziegler was already busy in the kitchen.Rachel wanted a teriyaki chicken burger, so she carefully checked the teriyaki sauce for allergens.Sophie was eating some prosciutto for breakfast, which was a unique choice.She leaned over. “Hey, Cassia, why are your eyes red?”“It’s none of your business. Do you have time this afternoon?”“To do what?”“Take Rachel to the marine park.”“Really?” Sophie was even more excited than Rachel. “I haven’t been there in so long! Are you going?”“I don’t trust you to take her by yourself, so I’m tagging along.”Rachel’s teriyaki chicken burger was served, and she focused hard on eating it. I patted her on the head and asked, “Are you excited about going to the marine park this afternoon?”She looked up and said, “Cassia, you’re going to spoil me.”Rachel was a mix of a clever little imp and a fairy. After she finished her breakfast, she thanked Mrs. Ziegler sweetly, “Thank you! Your cooking i
