Chapter 161

Surprisingly, Zach did not defend Cecilia. After I finished speaking, I looked down and continued eating. He stood at my table for a bit.I thought he would leave soon, but he suddenly asked, “I heard that you went to the hospital because you fell. Are you okay now?”I looked up in surprise. Was he serious? He was actually concerned about me?My first thought was that he must have some hidden agenda. There had to be something behind his caring words.I realized that I was being more logical. At least, I would not allow myself to act foolishly in front of him.I shrugged and replied, “I’m not made of glass. A fall won’t kill me.”However, he sat down across from me and made me anxious. I tried to keep eating, but with Zach watching, even the soft shrimp got stuck in my throat. I could not swallow it or spit it out.I did not want to waste food, though. It would bring bad karma.“What do you want?”He glanced at my plate and said, “You seem to be eating a lot lately.”It

Chapter 162

Zach picked up a leaf and casually handed it to me. I treated it like a piece of treasure. I took it home and pressed it between the pages of my favorite book.One time, Mrs. Xander cleaned my study and moved the book, so I could not find my leaf. I got mad at her as a result.It was my first time yelling at someone close like that. It scared Mrs. Xander.After I calmed down, I realized how silly I was.Another time, I showed the leaf to Zach, and he asked me what it was. It dawned on me that he had probably forgotten about it. He had just handed me a leaf, while I treated it like it was really special.There were many moments like that. For example, I had my hair down when we had dinner once. So, he asked the waiter for a hair tie so that I could pull it back. That hair tie became one of my cherished items too.I had a box filled with things that I thought proved Zach’s love for me. Sophie would say that even a trash collector would not want those things. Looking back, I

Chapter 163

I did not mean to eavesdrop, but they were right outside. I felt awkward about going out there, so I stayed in the washroom.Cecilia was also listening closely, and she even murmured to herself, “Rachel’s mom is still alive?”I shot her a look of annoyance. Did she not act like she was above gossiping?Seeing her so into this made her no different from those old ladies in the neighborhood.At least, those ladies were honest and not pretentious.After a while, Rachel ran off crying, so I finally stepped out of the washroom. Cameron was about to chase after her but saw me and sighed awkwardly. “Did you hear everything?”“A little. I’m going to check on her.”“Okay.”I left the hall and headed to the garden. I had a feeling that Rachel would run to the slide to play. She might be sad, but that would not stop her from having fun.I stood aside and watched her cry as she slid down the slide over and over again.I wiped her tear-streaked face with a tissue and gently held her h

“Leave it to me. I’m a friend to all children.”“Cassia, I’m not a child,” Rachel protested as she leaned against me.Kids never wanted to be kids, and adults always wanted to feel younger. People were so contradictory. No one wanted to be themselves.I walked with Rachel to the underground parking lot. I did not know where Zach had gone, but I could guess that he was taking Cecilia home.Rachel asked me, “If he’s so bad, why are you having babies for him?”“I’m not having babies for him. Since I’m already pregnant, I have to keep them.”Rachel looked a little confused. “So, will he live with you in the future?”“No,” I replied firmly.Before we reached the car, I heard a familiar voice.It was low and gentle. “Take this back. Don’t do this again next time.”Oh, it was Zach and Cecilia. I quickly pulled Rachel behind a car.I was not sure why I wanted to hide. I did not usually spy on people.Zach was giving Cecilia the box with the watch. He really thought of her in ever

Ugh, I felt like throwing up. Did anyone have a tissue?Even Rachel could not handle it. She looked up at me and asked, “Why does it sound like she’s about to die when she talks? It’s like she’s running out of breath.”The parking lot was incredibly quiet, so I was sure that they heard Rachel’s voice.I took Rachel’s hand and stepped out from behind the car. Cecilia was still holding on to Zach’s sleeve, and she looked at us with teary eyes.“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop,” I explained. “I was just taking Rachel to the car. Please move aside.”We entered the car, and Zach soon joined us. Meanwhile, Cecilia left in another car.It was unusual for him to not drive her home tonight. I guessed that it was because he and Cameron had a project coming up. News of our divorce had not leaked yet, and he probably wanted to avoid trouble.Rachel and I sat in the back seat while Zach was in the front passenger seat. As he fastened his seatbelt, he glanced back at us and noticed the brooch on R

When we got back to the room, I proceeded to wash up. Meanwhile, Zach received a phone call.I already knew whom it was from. At this time, only Cecilia would be calling to remind him that she was still around.Even with my electric toothbrush on, I could still hear Zach talking.“Are you home? Yeah, get some rest…“No, don’t worry about it…“Stop thinking about it…”Ugh, it was clear that Cecilia was crying and complaining on the other end of the line. Feeling annoyed, I closed the bathroom door.When I came out, Zach was sitting on the couch. As I walked past him, he suddenly called out to me.“Cassia.”“What do you want?” I did not turn around.“Don’t you like the gift I gave you?”I pulled the blankets and got into bed. “It’s not that I don’t like it. I just can’t accept it.”“It’s just a gift, nothing more.”“Once you give it to me, it’s mine. So, why do you care what I do with it?”“That’s true,” Zach replied calmly.Yet, he made it seem like I had done something w

Chapter 167

There was a refuse room behind the garden at the Gordon family’s mansion. The workers would leave the trash there before they took it out to the entrance for the trash collector. I walked briskly. So, I did not know if the sound behind me was Zach following me or the sound of the wind. I did not care about that. I just wanted to get rid of these things today. They were once my treasures. I had acted like a fool. For many nights, I would quietly open my treasure box and smile at the items inside. I opened the door to the refuse room. Then, I tossed everything inside without a second thought. After I threw everything away, I clapped my hands in satisfaction. “Goodbye,” I said to the trash. It was a true goodbye. I was saying farewell to the undying love that I had for Zach. There was a saying that you should not have a crush for too long. It probably meant that there was something wrong with your brain. It would stop being love at some point. Instead, you would just b

Chapter 168

When I looked up, I saw Mrs. Zimmer staring at us in confusion. It was the best opportunity for us to let go of each other. I immediately stopped biting him, and Zach let go of my wrist. My front teeth were sore. I touched them and walked away from Zach. “He wanted a watch, so I figured that I’d give him one using a bite mark.” After I returned to my bedroom, I examined my front teeth. Thankfully, they still seemed to be intact. I brushed my teeth again. I did not want to taste Zach’s blood when I slept. I did not know when he entered the bedroom. I had fallen asleep by then, so it must have been very late at night. The next day, I was alone in the bedroom when I woke up. So, I was not sure if he had come back to sleep. However, that was no longer important. I went down to have breakfast. The chef prepared a big breakfast for me, and it was extremely delicious. Mary smiled as she watched me eat. “I knew that you would have some cravings once you got pregnant. It’s

Mary started to tear up because of me too.She grabbed my hand tightly, but she was also at a loss of words. After a while, I finished my breakfast and got ready for work. It was only then that Mary said, “Cassia, if Zach still isn’t in love with you by the time you give birth to the babies, I won’t stop you. You should find your own happiness.” Where was my happiness? I walked out the door, and Zach was waiting for me in the car. He was reading a piece of document on his tablet. After I got in, he spoke to Mr. Lane without looking up. “We can leave now.” His sleeves were rolled up, so I could see the bite mark that I had left in my peripheral vision. I had bitten his arm with great force. It was a little swollen, and funnily enough, it did look like a watch from afar. As our car exited the garden gate, I saw a garbage truck driving toward the back door. The garbage truck would usually take the trash out from the back door. Whatever I had thrown yesterday would be goin

I looked at her. “Did Mary ask you to take care of me?” Hailey smiled. “Ms. Freeman, why did you hide such great news from us? Maybe your luck will rub off on us as well.” “What luck? You’re not married yet. Do you want to have a child out of wedlock?” My pregnancy was a really hard pill to swallow at first. It took me a long time to even accept it. It was hard enough to accept a new life, let alone two. “I’m getting married soon.” Hailey’s eyes crinkled as she smiled. “When?” “Ms. Freeman, I’ll take a week-long break. It won’t be longer than that, so please don’t fire me,” she said nervously. I laughed. “Now that you have your husband to take care of you, why do you still want to work so hard? Don’t worry. I won’t fire you. I just want to know when your wedding is so that I can buy you a gift.” “Ah, thank you, Ms. Freeman!” Hailey went out happily. Back when I was getting married to Zach, I was over the moon too. I felt like the happiest person on Earth. Yet, it
