“There are a few places.” He turned to look at me. “I’ll find out for you. What got stolen?”I showed him a photo. I knew what jewelry Mrs. Gibson had referred to. They were very expensive gifts from Mary, and you could not just buy them at any store. But if Lucy tried to sell them, she would only get a regular amount of money.Zach looked at the photo and nodded. “Got it. I’ll get them back for you.”“Bring me the thief too.”“Okay.”Zach acted quickly. After lunch, he took Rachel to his office, and I returned to mine. Before long, his assistant, Novan, brought Lucy in.She looked angry and acted as if she was not worried. She probably thought that I would not do anything to her.Anyway, Novan placed my diamond necklace and earrings on the table.Lucy was defiant, and she tried to sit in the chair in front of my desk. I gave Novan a look, and he quickly kicked it away. As a result, Lucy fell to the floor.“Ouch!” she complained as she got up. “Cassia, you—”Before she could

Chapter 442

He was clearly showing off his wealth, so why did I suddenly feel sad?Maybe my pregnancy hormones were acting up.Somehow, I ended up going to the police station. On the way, Rachel gave me a call. “Cassia, when are you picking me up?”I had completely forgotten about her because of Lucy. I could only ask Zach to take Rachel to my house.Zach said, “I’m still blacklisted by your security.”Oh, right. He could not get past my gate. “Just watch Rachel for now. I’ll pick her up later,” I replied.“Got it. Don’t worry about her.”He did not ask why, and I did not explain.We were not friends or a couple, so there was no need for details.When I arrived at the police station, I saw Austin staring out the window.I walked over and cleared my throat. He finally turned to look at me.Maybe it was because he was so pale, but his eyes were pitch black—they looked like an endless and starless night.“The value of your jewelry is too high. You’ll have to drop the charges for Lucy to b

Chapter 443

“What?” He did not get into the details, so I was confused. “What happened to Sophie? How did she get hurt?”“She twisted her ankle playing basketball. It looks pretty bad.”“Basketball? Why was she even playing that?” How did she end up in this mess? “Where are you two now?”“We’re on the way to the hospital.”“Which hospital? I’ll head there right away.”Kingston gave me the hospital’s address, and I hurried into the car. “Take Lucy home. I need to get to the hospital. Sophie’s hurt,” I told Austin.“Let me drive you.” He opened the door for me. “Mr. Pepper can take Lucy back.”That worked, so I got into Austin’s car. “Kindness Hospital,” I told him.He drove at an incredible speed, and his car weaved smoothly through traffic.I glanced at him in the rearview mirror and could only see his eyes. They reflected the lights from the cars around us.“She just twisted her ankle. You don’t need to drive so fast,” I said.He ignored me and maintained the same speed. He only said

Chapter 444

Kingston went to get Sophie’s medicine. Since my belly was too big to push the wheelchair, Austin pushed her down the long hallway. I followed them. It was already past 9 p.m., and I wondered what Rachel was doing.I gave Zach a call, and he softly answered, “We’re at my place, but she’s already asleep. I’ve carried her to the bedroom.”It looked like Rachel would be staying at his place tonight.“Sophie got into some trouble. I’ll be there a little later,” I said.“What happened to her?”“I don’t want to talk about it. But it was basically her own fault.” I sighed. “Give me your address.”“You know where it is. It’s our wedding house.”I paused for a moment and replied, “Okay.”By the time I hung up, Sophie and the others were at the hospital entrance. So, I walked over to them. Austin was putting his jacket over Sophie, but she sarcastically said, “It’s okay. The weather’s chilly, and you’re too delicate. Don’t catch a cold.”“At least I didn’t hurt myself playing basket

Chapter 445

I looked at Sophie’s face, and it was slowly regaining its color. For some reason, I glanced at Austin, who was driving.He was focused on the road. However, I had a feeling that he heard everything we said and took it to heart. The neon lights outside were reflected in his dark eyes.Sophie poked my belly. “Cassia, are you even listening to me?”“I am. You’re so ungrateful. Who says that no one thinks you’re precious? Your parents, me, Bryce, and my parents all treasure you.”“I’m not talking about family. I mean romantic love between a man and a woman.”Without thinking, I glanced at Austin again. He caught my eye in the rearview mirror and looked away.“Oh,” I said absentmindedly. “Good for you.”“Cassia, I’m going to officially start dating.”“Go ahead,” I replied.When we arrived at my house, Kingston was already there. He picked Sophie up and carried her upstairs. Mrs. Gibson and the others were startled. “Ms. Freeman, what happened?”“She twisted her ankle and fractu

Chapter 446

On the way to Zach’s house, I felt a little out of it.Perhaps it was because I had not eaten dinner, or I was shaken by Sophie’s accident. Either way, I felt dizzy and light-headed.Mr. Pepper asked, “Ms. Freeman, I have some cookies in the car. Would you like some?”“Sure.” I opened the package and slowly nibbled on a piece. “Mr. Pepper.”“Yes?”“Don’t you think Austin’s been looking worse lately? His face is so pale.”“Now that you mention it, yeah.” Mr. Pepper nodded. “Sometimes, he even looks a little blue. The last time I drove him home, he suddenly clutched his chest and didn’t speak for a long time. I was so scared that I almost took him to the hospital, but he said he was fine.”Austin’s heart condition was like a ticking bomb that could go off at any time.The doctors said a heart transplant would help, but finding a donor was nearly impossible. Even if they did, the surgery would be risky.It felt as if I was stumbling upon some kind of revelation, but it was not ye

Chapter 447

I always felt that the food a professional chef made and the food I made were different. They were special in different ways.I never thought I would actually get to eat Zach’s cooking.“So, you and Rachel ate dinner at home tonight?”“Yeah.” He nodded. “I made buffalo wings. Rachel asked for them.”“You know how to make buffalo wings?”“I used a seasoning packet. It’s easy. Don’t worry. I only made them a little spicy, so she could handle it.”I finished the whole plate of pasta as he talked. When one was hungry, everything tasted great.After dinner, Zach refused to let me do the dishes, and I did not argue.If he wanted to take care of me, I was happy to let him.I went to the living room to watch TV instead. Reality shows were way more fun than dramas lately.The best part was that you did not have to get emotionally involved. All I had to do was watch and laugh. Then, I could forget about it.While I was watching a group of celebrities fighting over a pancake, Zach plac

Chapter 448

I did not respond to Zach. It was not that I had no answer, but I just did not think it was necessary. Once he realized that I had always been genuine, he wanted us to get back together.However, I had already moved on, and I was not looking back. Us getting back together would not fix anything.After I washed up, I lay next to Rachel. My old clothes were still in the room. I did not take any of the clothes that I had bought when I got married. I never thought that I would wear them again. The pajamas were loose, so I could still fit into them.Suddenly, Rachel hugged me and whispered, “Mommy, you smell so nice.”Of course, no child wanted to be away from their mother. Unfortunately, I was not Rachel’s mother.I gently stroked her soft hair and soon fell asleep.The next morning, I woke up to Rachel caressing my face with her little hands.I grabbed her hand and said, “Got you.”She giggled. “Cassia, you’re so pretty.”It felt nice to hear that first thing in the morning

Chapter 449

Rachel was adorable when she was sweet, but she could be unreasonable and stubborn too.At this moment, Zach crouched in front of her. “Tomorrow, I’ll help you with the castle all day. We’ll definitely finish it.”“Really?” Rachel looked unsure.“Of course. I wouldn’t lie to you.”“Pinky promise, then.” Rachel held out her hand, and Zach linked his pinky with hers.He was good at winning people over. Rachel had been dismissive of him, but the promise to finish the Lego castle won her over.Rachel wrapped her arms around Zach’s neck as he carried her to the car. Right then, I remembered a line from a movie. “There’s no lasting hate and no lasting love.”The love I once had for Zach faded, but my resentment toward him also disappeared.I decided to let it go. Love and hate were too complicated to dwell on.Mr. Dennis’s high school daughter was on winter break. So, after I dropped Rachel off at home, I asked them to spend the day together. Little kids loved hanging out with o

Chapter 450

This morning, I had a meeting with Zach and the others. In the afternoon, I had a prenatal checkup. Zach insisted on coming with me. I tried to reject his offer, but he would not take no for an answer. He said that he was the father of the babies. Since he was so sure of himself, I did not want to argue. After all, he really was their father.I had been getting two checkups every month, and everything had been fine. The only issue was the occasional leg cramps. Right after my checkup, my leg cramped up again. Zach immediately helped me. “Are you okay?”“It’s a leg cramp. It feels like someone’s pulling on my tendons.” I described it clearly, and Zach looked at me. “I’ve never had my tendons pulled, but I can imagine that it must hurt a lot.”Well, that was obvious!He supported me as I slowly walked. Just then, I spotted someone. Every time I ran into her, I could not help but think the world was small. But since she was pregnant too, running into her here was not surpris
