I'm Glad We Met After Marriage のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 281 - チャプター 290

By the time I got home, Helen was already gone. I asked my mom what else they talked about after I left.She sighed. “Why even ask? Didn’t she make it clear before you left? She came here today for two reasons. One, she wants to get rid of Zach. Two, she wants to partner with Freeman Corporation.”I did not ask how my mom turned her down. She only allowed Helen to stay out of respect for their old friendship.That evening, I went out for burgers with Sophie. My mom insisted that I drink some herbal tea before leaving. Apparently, the burgers were “too greasy.” So, I showed up with tea sloshing in my body.Sophie was already there when I arrived. She handed me the menu, and I asked, “Am I supposed to sniff out what I want?”“Oh, right. I forgot.”“Just order whatever you like. I’m not picky. I need to use the restroom; my mom made me drink a lot of tea.”“Herbal tea before dinner?”“My mom’s obsessed with health.” I got up, and Sophie immediately stood up too. “I’ll go with yo

I gave Sophie a kick. “Get lost.”She then moved to the other side of the table and continued eating.I decided to ignore the feeling and focus on eating with Sophie. I did not want to waste the food. We finished the burgers, fries, and soup—I ended up eating a lot.After dinner, Sophie helped me out of the restaurant. “So, how was it? The food wasn’t bad, right? Next time, we should order takeout so that we can eat at my place. The smell of beef is strong here. It’s a bit overwhelming.”“You love beef but can’t stand the smell? Isn’t that a little contradictory?”“Lots of people are contradictory,” she replied. “Some say they’ve moved on, but their actions tell a different story.”“I’ll prove it to you.”“How will you prove it?”“Get the car and keep an eye out. Just don’t come out.”“What do you mean?”“Just do as I say.” I nudged her lightly. “I’ll wait right here.”Sophie went to the parking lot to get the car while I waited under the streetlight. She thought that I

It was too late by the time I yelled. I felt the car tilt and veer toward the side of the road. Sophie quickly grabbed the steering wheel, but it was too late.There was a loud bang as our car crashed into a flower bed. Thankfully, we had not been going very fast, and I had my seatbelt on. I just jerked forward and hit my knee.My first thought was to check my belly. To my relief, I had not hit it. While I was rubbing my knee, Sophie was panicking and on the verge of tears. “Cassia, are you okay? Please tell me that you’re fine! This is bad. You can’t be hurt. I can’t afford this. My mom will kill me, Cassia…”“Stop yelling.” She was so noisy. “I’m fine. I told you to focus on driving. Look what happened!”“Are you sure you’re okay?”“I’m fine. The airbags didn’t even deploy.”Sophie got out to check her car for damage, but I could hear her crying outside. “I just got this car last month! The lights are all broken!”“Just replace them.”“It’s a limited edition! If I chang

Sophie leaned in with curiosity while I stayed close to Hayden. I was not really sure how I felt.Honestly, Zach deserved his fate for falling in love with someone like Cecilia. However, she was such a jerk.She changed her attitude faster than flipping a page. She turned on a guy who would do anything for her just like that? I wanted to slap her out of pure frustration.Then again, why should I care?I squeezed Hayden’s hand. “Let’s go. I’m tired.”Just then, I heard footsteps. Zach was approaching me.“Cassia,” he called out to me.I replied, “Your fiancee’s here. Don’t bother me.”“When’s your next check-up? I’ll go with you.”“That’s not necessary.”“I’m the father. It’s what I’m supposed to do.”I was at a loss for words. I grabbed Sophie and Hayden to keep them from jumping at him.“Why don’t you go fix your own mess?”I walked to the car and heard Cecilia calling out to me, “Cassia, let’s go for tea some time.”“Dream on, Cecilia!” Sophie snapped.I got into H

The food I ordered arrived, and the smell was amazing. Since I could not see Cecilia clearly, I could enjoy my meal. If I had to look at her face, I would not have been able to eat.The grilled chicken sandwich was delicious, and I really dug in. Meanwhile, Cecilia just sat there and watched me eat with her arms crossed. Once I was halfway full, I stopped to take a sip of water. “Did you invite me out to get rid of Zach? Your mom already came to see me a few days ago.”“Don’t say it that way. It’s not about getting rid of Zach. I know that you won’t give up on him so easily. You’re just with that doctor as a backup. You still love Zach. Cassia, I’m telling you not to miss this great opportunity. You don’t care if Zach has money or power, right? I’ve always told you that you two are perfect for each other.”“When did you ever say that?” I could not believe how shameless she was. I almost threw up my food. “If Zach heard you say that, how do you think he would feel?”“I feel like
