Chapter 29 Cassandra shook her head and said, "Mom, let's go cat. He's busy." A trace of indifférence appeared on her face.
"Why would he have dinner with me? He only wants to be with his sweetheart, Rebecca. Who am I to him?' she thought.
"Ha!" Cassandra laughed at herself and felt inferior.
'Orlando is so determined that he does not love me. Why should I hold on?' she thought.
Gabriela was the one who booked the restaurant.
It was a high-end restaurant not far from the hospital and also an established store in Broburgh for many years. They picked their table and ordered three dishes and a soup.
It was the first tthey had dinner together alone, but there was no awkwardness. because Gabriela was a very gentle and chatty person.
She asked Cassandra, "How's work in the office? You can approach Orlando if you need. help. If you find it hard to ask him, ctoor Peter. We are on your side," Gabriela said.
Cassandra smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Gabriela. It's fine now. Orlando helpedout with sissues a few days ago." "Really?" Gabriela was a little surprised. Cassandra nodded and said yes, Gabriela added, “It seems that he is not altogether incorrigible." Cassandra was slightly stunned, but Gabriela just smiled.
At this moment, the food was served.
The two of them were eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe meal lasted for more than an hour. Both of them insisted on paying, but Cassandra. finally got to pay the bill. Cassandra said, “Gabriela, it is only right that I pay because I am younger. And because I treated you, it gavethe motivation to continue earning money." 1/5 Chapter 29 Actually, what she wanted to say was that she feared that it might be the last tshe was treating her to a meal. Gabriela never mistreated her and had been really caring toward her.
That was why she wanted to do her part to care for her.
Gabriela naturally did not refuse anymore after hearing what she said. Instead, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let my daughter-in-law treat me. But you have to treatto meals more often in the future. I want to enjoy the benefits of being a mother-in-law." Cassandra smiled and said nothing, for she did not know if there would be a chance.
After paying the bill, Cassandra took Gabriela's hand and was about to walk out. At this moment, a gentle and sweet female voice suddenly cfrom behind them, saying, “Landy, you are so sweet. You actually remember what I like to eat." Cassandra and Gabriela both recognized the voice. They turned back and saw not only the woman who spoke but also saw the man beside her.
This was how the four of them bumped into each other.
Cassandra's face froze a little, but she was emotionless because she was already numb.
Orlando was a little surprised, but he regained his composure in an instant and said, “Mom, why are you here with Cassandra?" "Why? Did you reserve the whole place that I have no right to come?" Gabriela's tone was not courteous, and her gaze becfierce.
"Mrs. Quinn, long tno see. How are you? I should have visited you at hearlier. But Landy was worried about my health, so we put it off until now. I hope you don't mind." Rebecca lowered her head and spoke in a voice so gentle that no one could find fault with her.
However, Gabriela did not show respect and asked indifferently, "You don't have to cto the house. The Quinn family doesn't meet just anyone. By the way, Ms. Spencer, do you know the man next to you is already married?" "Mrs. Quinn, I..." Rebecca said.
Rebecca did not know how to react and looked at Orlando, who was beside her, instinctively.
However, Gabriela did not give her a chance to seek help.
Chapter 29 Gabriela was indeed gentle and never arrogant and domineering, but every word she said in her gentle voice could make someone really embarrassed.
Gabriela said, "Why didn't you answer, Ms. Spencer? Is there something you can't tell? Or did you already know that he has a wife but you still want to cling on to him? If that's the case, you're being indecent. If this gets out, it might tarnish your reputation. Don't you think so?" Rebecca lowered her head and did not know what to say because Gabriela was so sharp. If it were not for her words, no one would have known Gabriela was questioning her.
Rebecca pursed her lips tightly, tugged Orlando's clothes while feeling aggravated, and said in a low voice, "Landy, Mrs. Quinn is right. It is my fault." Orlando frowned and looked at Gabriela, saying, "Mom, let's talk about it when we get home. Rebecca is still recovering; she should not be too worked up. Please don't be like that." "What did I do wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Gabriela was so angry that she pulled Cassandra to her side. "Who is this? Tell me, who is Cassie to you?" Cassandra did not respond the whole time, but she was stunned when she got pulled over.
She thought, 'Did my mother-in-law have to be so direct?' She met Orlando's cold and indifferent gaze. She did not know if she was overthinking it, but she felt that he was blaming her.
'Should I not be here? Or did I put Rebecca in a tough spot?' she thought.
There was no interaction between the two. Gabriela said, "Orlando, don't forget that your Grandpa is still in the hospital. If you dare to mistreat Cassie, don't cback to the Quinn manor." Orlando did not know what to do with his mother. He knew that she was not as gentle as she seemed but was actually very domineering.
Gabriela added, "So, have you thought about my question? Who is Cassie to you?" Orlando looked gloomy and did not speak for a long time.
No one could guess what he was thinking at all.
Seeing this, Rebecca said softly, "Mrs. Quinn, please don't force Landy. If you are angry Chapter 29 because of me, I will apologize to you. It's all my fault, I...” "Ms. Spencer, I'm talking to my son. As an outsider and a bystander, don't interrupt me. Understand?" Rebecca's face stiffened, and she was so humiliated she could not say a word.
Gabriela was satisfied and continued to ask, “Orlando, didn't you hear what I said?" "Cassandra is my wife. Are you satisfied with that answer now?" Orlando answered.
He seemed helpless and had no expression on his face. No one could tell what was going through his mind.
His answer shocked Cassandra, hurt Rebecca, and made Gabriela especially happy.

Gabriela looked at Rebecca with a smile and said faintly, "Ms. Spencer, did you hear what he said? So, a girl who has self-respect should not throw herself at a married man. This is such a shameless thing, don't you think so?" Rebecca pursed her lips tightly with tears rolling from her eyes. She had to echo Gabriela's words and said, "Mrs. Quinn, you are right."
"Now that you understand, I don't have to say more." She glanced at Rebecca oca-coldly, then looked at Orlando and said, "Let's go. Send Cassie and I home." Orlando did not move but said, "Mom, you guys go ahead. Rebecca hasn't recovered yet. I have to send her back to the hospital." "Ms. Spencer won't mind it, and she would not get close to a married man. Ms. Spencer, don't you think what I said is correct?" Gabriela said.
"Mrs. Quinn is right. Landy, don't bother about me. You should send Mrs. Quinn and Cassandra off,” Rebecca whispered to Orlando.
However, she looked at Orlando with expectations in her eyes, feeling sad and wronged. Their hands were tied and could not go against her when facing Gabriela.
After saying that and before Orlando could answer, she suddenly lost her balance and leaned to one side.
Orlando swiftly held out his hand to hold her. Then, she fell into his arms.
Cassandra's eyes widened, and so did Gabriela's.
Cassandra did not expect them to be so intimate in public. She did not know how to 10:29: Tue, 23 Apr■ MG Chapter 29 describe her feelings at the moment.
The pain in her heart was so intense that she could not breathe.
She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Gabriela, let's go." After saving that, she turned around.
Gabriela glared at Rebecca and Orlando angrily. She pointed to Orlando and said coldly, "You are really a piece of work." Then, she hurriedly ran after her.
Orlando's eyes trailed after Cassandra. Rebecca, who was leaning against him, also glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Landy, is Cassandra angry?" SEND GIFT COMMENT 0
