Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 39

Orlando paused slightly. His expression also froze. Before he could answer, Cassandra had already pulled out her hand.

She said, “Go take a shower. I’m a little sleepy”

Her tone was eli, and she lay down after saying that.

Orlando stared condescendingly at her for a few seconds before turning to the bathroom.

Cassandra’s question earlier came to mind.

He wondered how he would choose if she said she did not want a divorce.

There was no way he would agree. After all, he had promised Rebecca that he would marry her, so he must divorce

Cassandra.

They spent the night in peace, but each had different ideas.

The first rays of the morning sun came through the window. Cassandra in bed had woken up long ago, but she did not move because an arm was tightly trapped around her waist.

They would not share another bed anymore two days later, so she wanted to keep it that way a little longer.

After some time, someone knocked on the door and broke the silence..

A housekeeper reminded, “Mr. and Mrs. Quinn, Mr. Peter Quinn asked if you’re up yet. He’s waiting for you to go downstairs to have breakfast together.”

Before Cassandra could say anything. Orlando beside her had already replied, “Okay, we’ll be right downstairs.”

After saying that, he leaned toward Cassandra. Thinking she was still asleep, he shouted in a low and hoarse voice, “Cassandra, get up. Hmm?”

Cassandra subconsciously turned her head, and the tips of their noses touched each other. Their eyes met, and time also paused.

Orlando stared at Cassandra. Her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and her tender face was different from the women with heavy makeup. Cassandra’s beauty was so pure that the more people looked at her, the more entranced they would become.

Cassandra also looked at Orlando beside her. He had messy morning hair, and his pajamas were askew, revealing most of hist chest. It made him look a different kind of sexy.

For some reason, the more she looked, the weirder the atmosphere became.

She suddenly remembered what he had said before. Men reacted strongly in the

morning

Then, she immediately turned her head to get up, but she was pressed down before she could move. Orlando asked flatly in a low and hoarse voice, “What are you hiding?”

She muttered. “I’m not hiding. Grandpa Peter asked us to get up for breakfast. Get out of the way.”

“Grandpa will be happier if we stay here for a long time. Do you know why?” Orlando answered.

His voice was hoarse, revealing a faint smile.

Cassandra raised her hand to push him away, but her warm fingertips touched his exposed chest. Before she could move it

away, Orlando’s defined hands grabbed it. He smiled and said slowly in a hoarse voice, “Cassandra, why won’t you look at

Her eyes widened slightly as she bit her lips. Although she did not look at him, Orlando’s scent lingered on the tip of her nose, making her brain go blank.

She muttered, “No.”

“Since you deny it, look at me. Hmm?” Orlando said.

Cassandra replied, “Get out of the way first.”

Orlando said. “You’ll run away if I get out of the way

Cassandra answered. “I won’t.”

Cassandra felt at a loss at such a close distance, especially when his warm breath was directly on her cheeks and neck. making her restless and shiver.

However, Orlando seemed adamant about arguing with Cassandra. He refused to let go of her, no matter what. Having no choice, Cassandra could only turn around and look at him again.

She thought. Fine. It’s not like I’ve never seen it before.

She just wanted to hurry out of bed.

As she turned her head too hard, she almost kissed him on the lips. Not only Cassandra, but Orlando was also stunned.

He narrowed his eyes and said in an increasingly low and hoarse voice, “Cassandra, did you do it on purpose?”

No, I didn’t,” Cassandra replied.

Yes, you did, Orlando answered.

1. Um..” Cassandra retorted.

Without giving her a chance to finish, he had already leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

Cassandra stiffened, scared to move. She gazed blankly at Orlando in front of her until he stopped. The meaning in his deep eyes was obvious. Cassandra had no idea where she got the strength to push him away and quickly get

et out of bed

She escaped to the bathroom. After closing the door, she breathed heavily, holding her face in her hands. Her cheeks were hot, and all she could see was what Orlando had just done.

Cassandra wondered what in the world were they doing.

She reminded herself inwardly, ‘Cassandra, you’re about to get a divorce. You should keep your distance!

She splashed her cheeks with cold water until she had calmed down.

A few minutes later, Cassandra washed up and came out. Orlando was no longer in the room. She felt relieved that she did

not have to face him

Peter had already eaten breakfast because Cassandra and Orlando had come down late.

Gabriela was meeting up with her friends to play ball, and Frederick left early to drive Gabriela.

After breakfast, Orlando played chess with Peter since he could not leave the Quinn manor, Cassandra watched from the

side.

It was a sweet sight.

Frederick and Gabriela returned at lunchtime. Gabriela was making lunch today, and Cassandra went to help her.

However, the greasy smell was so strong that Cassandra almost could not help feeling nauseous. She was probably pale from holding back too long. Gabriela said, “Cassie, go out and rest. I have help here.”

Cassandra did not insist and nodded. She replied, “Okay, sorry to trouble you.”

Gabriela answered, “You’re family. Don’t mention it.”

Gabriela smiled.

When Cassandra walked out of the kitchen, she felt comfortable.

She walked into the living room and happened to see Peter, Frederick, and Orlando playing chess. She could not help but take out her phone and take a picture, Orlando in the photo looked gentle as he smiled, and his handsome face was as charming as ever.

She smiled as she watched. However, Orlando would soon belong to another woman.

Cassandra took a deep breath and put away her phone as she suppressed her emotions.

Soon, lunch began.

Gabriela made her best fried fish, grilled ribs, mushroom soup, and several exquisite salads.

The dishes on the table looked and smelled delicious.

However, Cassandra was in a difficult situation. She felt uncomfortable at the sight of greasy food, but she suppressed her discomfort, as she did not want to spoil the mood.

In the end, she could not help but run to the bathroom with her mouth covered after Gabriela repeatedly helped her with several servings.

Gabriela asked, “What’s wrong with Cassie?”

Orlando also looked solemn.

Peter was the calmest. He said, “Maybe it’s because of her upset stomach. She told me yesterday that she has an upset stomach. These dishes might be too greasy.”

Then, he looked at Orlando and asked, “Why don’t you check on her!”

Orlando got up and walked to the bathroom. Cassandra had already vomited and was wiping her mouth.

He asked in a whisper, “Are you okay? Why didn’t you tell me about your upset stomach?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Cassandra only indifferently shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”

Her nonchalance made Orlando frown, She went back to the dining room and sat down. Orlando said, “Let the family doctor come over and examine you. You’ve been in this condition for several days. Let’s see what your problem is, so that we

can treat it in time.”

Cassandra looked at Peter subconsciously and said hurriedly, “No, I’m fine. There’s no need for the doctor to come. I’ve already gone to the hospital and checked.”

Dreame

What did the doctor say? Do you have to take any medicine? Orlando asked.

The doctor said it’s nothing. I just have an upset stomach from a cold, so there’s no need to take medicine,” she answered.

“How can that be? Since you have an upset stomach, you should take medicine to get better soon. I’ll ask the family doctor to come over now,” Orlando replied.

Orlando was adamant, and she was scared to continue rejecting him, as it would make him suspicious.

Orlando reacted quickly and immediately called the family doctor. Then, he asked the housekeeper to make some oatmeal. His reaction made Gabriela laugh.

Gabriela stopped worrying. She only smiled and said, “Oh, Orlando knows how to take care of his wife now. I hope you can keep up the good work.”

Orlando was unfazed and expressionless,

Cassandra lowered her head. No one was aware of her worries and nervousness.

Soon, the doctor came.
