Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma by Jean Oscar ( Cassandra Jackson ) Chapter 25

Chapter 25

“What does he mean by that? Is he explaining to me? But we’re about to divorce. Why does he still do these things that could make me misunderstand?‘ ruminated Cassandra, who genuinely couldn’t understand what Orlando was thinking.

Nevertheless, in the face of his gentleness, she wavered.

A love that lasted for ten years couldn’t just be gone in the blink of an eye as one wished. Even if she could endure the pain and suppress her feelings, those tender moments would still affect her.

Cassandra held her breath, tears welling in her eyes. She refused to let herself be affected. “Why are you telling me these?” she asked calmly.

Orlando chuckled. “Why do you think? If I don’t explain to you, I probably won’t be able to enter the bedroom tonight again, and the housekeepers are likely gonna laugh at my predicament. So, Mrs. Quinn, can you trust me now?”

‘Why has it become my fault?‘ she thought.

Cassandra’s tone was indifferent as she said, “You left by yourself. I didn’t kick you out.”

“What else was I supposed to do? Stay and continue quarreling with you?” he countered.

“I wasn’t trying to quarrel. You were the one-” she started.

He interrupted, “Okay, this matter is over. Let’s never bring it up again, all right?”

Since Orlando had said so, there was nothing else Cassandra could say.

Orlando added, “Shall we visit Grandpa this afternoon? I’ll pick you up.”

Cassandra pursed her lips lightly. “Mm.”

After hanging up the phone, Cassandra looked dazed, pondering, ‘What should I do with you, Orlando? Why are you still treating me the same even though we’re going to get divorced?‘

Orlando still didn’t love her; she would rather he be crueler so that she could give up on him entirely.

Meanwhile, Orlando went to the hospital.

Rebecca would be discharged tomorrow, so he was here to help her deal with the

paperwork.

After that was done, he returned to the ward and saw that Rebecca’s manager, Sophia Kemble, was also present.

Rebecca was a singer. Because of Orlando and her knowledge of marketing, she thrived in the industry and had her representative work. However, due to being unconscious. for a year from the accident, she had virtually become non–relevant in the entertainment circle now. Only a group of her old fans were still awaiting her return.

Seeing Orlando’s arrival, Rebecca hurriedly smiled. “Landy, you’re here. Please give me some advice. Should I continue my career as a singer in my current state?”

Orlando was expressionless as he answered, “Let’s talk about it after you fully recover. Now, I have something to ask you.”

Sensing his apathy, Rebecca quickly told Sophia to leave first and asked softly when

Her eyes were full of worry and panic.

Rebecca’s clear, bronzed face was particularly wan and weak because of her frail body. People would instinctively feel sorry for her, especially with how she looked while teary–eyed.

Orlando frowned slightly. “Cassandra called me last night, and you answered it, right?”

Rebecca froze briefly, then comprehended that it was about yesterday’s phone call.

Rebecca compressed her lips, looking aggrieved and regretful. “Did Cassandra say something to you? Sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have answered your phone without permission. I just thought that she wasn’t an outsider, so-”

“Rebecca, it’s not about what Cassandra said to me but what you said to her,” he said.

Rebecca lowered her head with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Landy. I was too impulsive. I’m really insecure because Cassandra has been with you for a year. I’m afraid that you’ll fall in love with her. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Please don’t be mad, all right?”

Orlando’s expression didn’t look great, and his gaze was distant. He said coldly, “Cassandra and I haven’t divorced yet. We are still married. I thought you knew and also understood that we won’t get along like a divorced couple right now.”

Rebecca nodded remorsefully and promised that she would never do it again.

Yet, Orlando was still angry. “Have a good rest. I’m going back to work. I’ll come pick you up when you get discharged tomorrow.”

Coldness flickered across Rebecca’s face as she watched his retreating figure, and her expression also turned vaguely stony.

In the evening, Orlando drove to pick up Cassandra from work, and then they went to the hospital.

Peter was still unconscious, but his condition was normal and stable.

Gabriela was inwardly overjoyed to see them come together. “Rest assured; Peter’s fine. If you two really worry about him, you should have a baby as soon as possible. As long as he becomes a great–grandfather, he will surely get better.”

Cassandra smiled stiffly, saying nothing.

Orlando, too, furrowed his brow. “Mom, why are you saying this out of nowhere?”

“What do you mean ‘out of nowhere“? You’ve been married for a year. It only took me two months to get pregnant with you back then. If a man can’t get his wife pregnant… Tsk, tsk. What do you think others will think about you?” Gabriela noted meaningfully.

Cassandra dropped her head and didn’t dare to make a sound, trying to keep herself out of this.

Frederick also cleared his throat, feeling a little embarrassed.

Orlando was the most helpless out of all of them. His face completely darkened, and he looked even more indifferent and speechless.

Yet, Gabriela pretended not to notice and turned to Cassandra. “Cassie, be frank with me. Is there something wrong with Orlando’s body, which is why you’re still not. pregnant yet?”
