Semua Bab I'm Glad We Met After Marriage: Bab 171 - Bab 180

I put on the earrings. Normally, I did not like wearing any accessories because they could be quite heavy. But I did look good in them. After I took one last look in the mirror, I glanced at Zach. “Don’t be unreasonable.” “I’ll wait for you in the parking lot at 5:30 p.m.” After that, he turned around and left. The door closed with a soft click. I was furious. He was confident that no matter what, I would run to him like a dog when he wiggled his finger at me. It was as if I would listen to and follow everything he said to me. This time, he was wrong. I personally gave Mr. Sato a call to apologize. I told him that I was unable to have dinner with them because I had a very important appointment with a friend. Mr. Sato was very understanding, and he invited me to have dinner at their place the next time. Once I settled the matter with Mr. Sato, I gave my driver a call and asked him to wait for me in front of the office building. Zach would not be able to do anything a

I had no idea what Zach was trying to do, but I knew that I was not getting out of this situation.He had taken my phone and put it on the table right next to his own.Just then, my phone buzzed. It was probably Hayden calling to ask where I was. As soon as I reached for it, Zach grabbed it and shoved it into his pocket.I tried to take it back, but the second my hand slipped into his pocket, he held it tightly.I pulled hard, and he abruptly let go. I nearly fell out of my chair. Mrs. Sato watched us with a playful smile. She probably thought that we were just messing around.Meanwhile, Mr. Sato was all about the food. The couple had ordered three different soups: clam chowder, chicken noodle soup, and rich beef stew.Each of these soups could fill you up on its own, but all together? It felt like overkill.The bowls were so big that I could barely see Mr. Sato across the table.Being sweet, Mrs. Sato served me a bowl and said, “This soup is good. Have some. It’ll warm you u

Fortunately, I was not drinking because I choked on my saliva. Otherwise, I probably would have sprayed water everywhere.I forgot that Yulia was a doctor and she worked at the same hospital as Hayden. She would have learned that I was pregnant after asking around.I exchanged glances with Hayden and saw the embarrassment in his eyes.He probably did not expect this either. Yulia was clever, and she gave us enough space to figure out what to say.She stood up and said, “I’m going to the restroom. You two can order. I’m fine with anything.”I watched Yulia walk away before I quickly turned to Hayden and said, “What’s going on? How come it’s her? I’ve met her before. She was there when I brought you soup.”“Isn’t that perfect?”“Perfect? Didn’t you hear her? She knows I’m pregnant.”“Exactly. Later, I’ll tell her our plans to get married.”I felt like dying. “Did you know it was her before the date?”He shook his head. “But anything can happen.”Hayden was surprisingly calm. H

On the way home, Sophie gave me a call and asked how my role as a girlfriend was going. I told her that the other person was Hayden’s colleague and that we had met before. She probably figured out right away that I was pretending. My cover had been blown.“It doesn’t matter if she knows. Your whole act was meant to make her back off and realize that Hayden isn’t interested in her. As long as she gets it, she won’t worry about whether you’re his real girlfriend or not. I’m curious, though. What’s she like for Hayden to be so disinterested? He’s really devoted to you.”“She’s really cool. I’ve never seen a girl as cool as her before.”“She’s cooler than me? Is her hair shorter than mine? Are her leather pants shinier than mine?”“I’m not talking about looks.” Never mind. I decided not to explain further.I hoped that Hayden’s feelings for me would soon dissipate. Firstly, I did not know if I could ever love him the way I had loved Zach. Besides, I felt like plenty of other girls

He slowly leaned closer, but I was not going to let him do anything else to get me flustered.I slipped out from under his arm and ran into the bathroom. Then, I slammed the door shut and locked it. Somehow, I felt guilty about it.I leaned against the door and gasped for breath.I had no idea what Zach wanted to do. He had been acting weird all day.However, I was not foolish enough to think that he suddenly liked me. I looked in the mirror and saw my flushed cheeks. I hated that I still blushed from being near him.Did I still have feelings for Zach?Just because he kissed me while he was drunk, I lost my composure. No wonder he had such a hold on me.I took a deep breath to collect myself and finally opened the door.I had prepared myself for his reaction, but he was not there anymore.Zach never came back even after I lay in bed, and I eventually drifted off.I did not know what time it was, but I woke up to my phone ringing.After lying in bed for a while, I finally p
