Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 26 Cassandra was stunned.

What was she supposed to say? Not knowing what to do, she could only purse her lips and look at Orlando. The latter seemed to have sensed her asking for help, but he did not intend to help her. He just said nonchalantly, "Cassie, Mom is asking you. You should clarify it foror I'll be misunderstood." His deep gaze fell upon her. There seemed to be a glint of joy in his eyes.

What did Orlando mean by that? He's clearly dragginginto this, she thought.

Cassandra pursed her lips in embarrassment and could only reply calmly, "Mom, since Grandpa Peter's fine, I'll leave with Orlando. We're going for a movie together." Then she pulled Orlando and walked out. Gabriela's voice sounded behind her. "Your grandpa will wake up in joy right away if he knows you're going on a date." Cassandra didn't let go of Orlando until she got in the car.

He looked sideways at the woman beside him and asked in a low voice, "What movie. are we going to watch?" "I was lying to Gabriela," Cassandra replied indifferently.

"Didn't you say not to lie?" Orlando questioned..

"It was a white lie. She won't blme even if she finds out," explained Cassandra.

"A white lie?" Orlando stared at her. "So what are you trying to imply?" Frowning, Cassandra realized what he meant. "I didn't mean to imply anything. I didn't say anything. Don't overthink." "Okay, I won't overthink. There are only two of us now. Can you tellif there's anything wrong with my body?" he asked self-righteously.

"It's your body. How would I know?" She quickly turned around, not wanting to keep this conversation going. Even so, Orlando made her feel like he wouldn't let her go if she didn't answer him.

Chapter 20 20 Api He even reached out and turned her around, forcing her to face him. Then, he looked. into her eyes and asked, "You're my wife. No one else knows if you don't." Her cheeks flushed, and she looked away.

She wondered, 'What does he mean? Has he not slept with Rebecca before?" Cassandra pursed her lips lightly. Her action made Orlando's gaze grow deeper. Her muffled grunt and murmur when he kissed her, and her voice when she begged for mercy appeared in his mind. His breathing also becheavier.

Just then, the phone rang, and he was completely brought back to his senses.

It was Cassandra's phone.

The call was from Michael.

When Orlando saw the non the screen, his expression turned extremely grim. Cassandra didn't notice it and answered the phone in front of him, "Hello, Michael." Her voice was as gentle as the twhen she spoke to him back then. Nonetheless, she was like a hedgehog now, acting defensively against him.

He had no idea what Michael told her, but a faint smile crept across her face. Orlando felt irritated by that sight.

Not knowing what was on his mind, he said in a low voice, “Cassie, since Mom thought we were going on a date, let's stay outside tonight?" Stunned, Cassandra looked up at Orlando.

Michael's voice sounded in her ear. “Cassie, are you with him?” Cassandra hummed in a low voice.

Michael questioned, "You're getting a divorce. Why is he doing this?" Cassandra had no idea, too.

'Yeah, we're divorcing. Why is he always acting like nothing has happened? He's unbothered is it because he doesn't care at all?' she mused.

Thinking of this, she felt extremely awful.

She seemed to be more clear-headed and calmer. "Michael, that's all for now. Let's talk 10:28 Tue, 23 Apr MG Chapter 26 about the rest in the company tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, Cassandra looked at Orlando. "Let's go home. It's not a good tto watch a movie." "Why is it not a good time?" he asked.

"It was just an excuse. You don't have to take it seriously." Her voice was soft.

"Cassandra, are you afraid that Michael will misunderstand something?" he questioned.

Cassandra frowned. "Why would you think so? Didn't you say not to get others involved. in our affairs?" Orlando stopped talking. He stepped on the accelerator and drove very fast.

The atmosphere was extremely silent all the way.

Cassandra felt aggrieved, too. She did not say anything wrong, so she wondered why he was unhappy.

Although they didn't ignore each other like the night before, everyone in Dustmeadow Mansion could sense that Orlando was in a bad mood.

Naturally, Cassandra would not appease him. She had figured out it was better to endure the pain now than to suffer for a long time. She would be obsessed with him. again after comforting him. It would be better if she just remained this indifferent.

The cooperation between Cassandra and Hawley Real Estate was able to go on because of Orlando.

The two companies officially signed a cooperation agreement that day. Hawley Real. Estate also explained the previous incident, "Ms. Jackson, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect you to be from the Jackson family and Mr. Quinn's good friend. You should've toldearlier, and those misunderstandings wouldn't have happened." Cassandra merely smiled faintly.

Only both families and their close friends knew about her marriage with Orlando. It had been kept secret from the public. She just didn't expect Orlando to tell others they were very close friends.

Although there was nothing wrong with that, she still felt a little sad.

Chapter 26 After resolving the situation, Cassandra had lunch with Michael. He asked, "Since you and Orlando are going to divorce, will you stay in Broburgh?" "No, I'll leave after the divorce. You can stay and take care of the company..." she replied.- "Cassie, I've told you that I'll follow you everywhere. If you want to keep the company, I'll arrange for someone to manage it. If you don't, let's close it down then," suggested Michael.

"We have to keep it. We can't let them lose their jobs," said Cassandra.

Cassandra never thought that the company would fall apart if she left. It was unfair to others.

"Well, I'll do as you say. Have you decided on the date to file the om divorce? As long as you go back and PAS! NO leave here, you're still the sperson as you were before." Michael stared at her, waiting for her reply.

Cassandra replied calmly, “It hasn't been decided yet. Grandpa Peter still can't accept it. I can't hurt him no matter what."

Cassandra had been staying in the company all day. These days, it was beer she obvious that she had lost weight, as she had been eating very little every meal. Most of the meals were light, and she couldn't take greasy or spicy food at all. In the evening, it was Michael who sent her back to Dustmeadow Mansion.

Although she had to trouble him, it wasn't safe for her to drive since she hadn't been able to concentrate well lately.

The car stopped steadily in front of Dustmeadow Mansion. Cassandra was about to unbuckle her seat belt, but she had just touched it and had yet to do so.

Bang! With a loud noise, a huge force hit from behind.

In the car, they leaned forward and bounced back because of inertian Fortunately, she had her seat belt buckled and was not injured, but she was frightened. Cassandra sat there in a daze, subconsciously covering her abdomen with both hands. She thought worriedly, 'Baby, you must be scared.' Michael noticed Cassandra's action but thought she was injured. He hurriedly asked, "Cassie, are you okay?" 10:28 Tue, 23 Apr. 14 | Chapter 20 Cassandra took a deep breath. She was terrified, but she believed her baby would be fine.

She shook her head. “I'm fine. Let's get down and see what happened." They got out of the car and saw a familiar black car.

Michael subconsciously looked at Cassandra, who was staring at the man in the driver's seat.

His head hung low and his back hunched. 'What happened to him?' she wondered.

Cassandra walked over and opened the car door directly. She whispered, "Orlando?" ☐
