Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 34

Peter sported coldly, “What’s wrong? If you want to divorce her, can’t I plan for her as a grandfather?”

Orlando was silent.

His handsome face frowned slightly, and his deep eyes were filled with coldness. After a long time, he said.

Grandpa, I haven’t divorced Cassandra yet.”

“Of course, I know you haven’t divorced yet. So I hope you can find a good partner for Cassic before the divorce. That way, people will know that you’re not the only option for Cassie. Peter spoke mercilessly and looked at Orlando with increasing disgust,

Orlando asked, ‘Docs Cassandra know about this?”

“Does it matter? Cassie is a good girl. She’ll listen to me,” said Peter.

“Grandpa, am I really your grandson?” Although Orlando knew the answer, he was uncertain at this moment.

Peter said coldly. “If you weren’t my grandson, I would’ve broken your legs now.”

Orlando was standing at the top of the pyramid outside, and no one would refute his words, but he would always stoop to compromise in front of Peter.

Orlando knew that he could not change Peter’s decision. He could only agree. “Okay, I’ll see what I can do.”

“No, it must be done well. This is a top priority. You must keep it in mind,” said Peter.

“Okay, I know. Orlando nodded, and the scene of Cassandra holding hands with another man standing in front of Peter to introduce each other subconsciously appeared in his mind.

He frowned even more.

Peter sent him away after finishing his words.

Although Peter’s health was fine, he had to stay in the hospital for a few days to do a full body examination.

After getting out of the hospital, Orlando was in a depressed mood all day.

Taylor sensed that too. He worked carefully and did not dare to relax at all, fearing that he would be the cannon fodder.

On the other side, Cassandra found her friend at the hospital, Nellie. Nellie was the first one that she shared her pregnancy news with.

Nellie was Cassandra’s cousin, the daughter of Evelyn’s younger sister. They had been in a very close relationship since childhood and lived together for a while.

Arriving at Nellie’s office, the two exchanged greetings. Cassandra said, “Sorry to bother you again.”

“What are you talking about? Am I a stranger to you?” Nellie poured her a glass of water, looked at the time, and said, “Let me take you there now. The new shift just started. You can trust the doctor completely. The doctor is my best friend.”

Cassandra nodded and followed Nellle to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

During the ultrasound scan, Nellie’s friend said to Cassandra, “Don’t worry. The baby is healthy, but you should pay more attention in the first three months. After that, the fetus will be stable.”

“Okay, I know. Thank you. Cassandra spoke and smiled faintly.

She was relieved that the baby was fine..

After the examination, Cassandra chatted with Nellie for a while. Nellie asked, “Are you really not going to tell him?

Cassandra shook her head and replied, “We’re going to divorce. There’s no need to tell him. By the way, can you hide it from my family too? I don’t want to tell them for now.”

Ever since she went back to the Jackson residence last time and mentioned that she wanted to divorce Orlando, Evelyn had been angry with her and had not contacted her until now.

She did call back, but Evelyn was unwilling to answer it. So, she had no choice.

Nellie knew well about the relationship between Cassandra and the Jackson family. She gently patted Cassandra on the shoulder and comforted her in a low voice, “Is Aunt Evelyn still very cold to you?”

Cassandra did not answer her question, but said, “How are you doing these days?”

Nellie did not ask further and just echoed her question.

After chatting for a while, Cassandra left without much interruption, as Nellie still had patients.

After leaving the hospital, Cassandra called the Jackson family again.

It was the housekeeper who answered the phone. Hearing Cassandra’s voice, the housekeeper was somewhat perfunctory. Although they knew that Cassandra was the second daughter of the Jackson family, they would not flatter her, since she was not favored by the family.

The housekeeper said, “Ms. Jackson, what’s the matter with you calling at this time?”

“Is Mom at home?” asked Cassandra.

“Mrs. Jackson is not home,” the housekeeper replied.

“What about Dad? Cassandra asked again.

“Mr. Jackson is not home either. Then, the housekeeper began to make an excuse, “Ms. Jackson, I have work to do. If you don’t have anything else, I’ll hang up first.”

Then, she hung up the phone immediately and looked at the person coming downstairs. She hurriedly walked over to report, “Ms. Jackson, Ms. Cassandra called just now. I answered her according to your instructions.”

Suzanne replied, “Don’t tell Mom. She has been in a bad mood recently. Don’t make her more upset.”

“Okay.” The housekeeper nodded in response.

In the evening, Orlando did not return to Dustmeadow Mansion immediately after finishing his work.

He called Lloyd and a few others to Dark Veil Club.

They exchanged glances while drinking. Orlando’s face was gloomy, and he looked like he had a lot on his mind.

Lloyd asked, “Orlando, what’s wrong with you?”

He frowned and took a sip of his wine before saying, “Grandpa asked me to find Cassandra a boyfriend. We can divorce after she has a successful blind date. Is Cassandra the granddaughter of the Quinn family?”

Everyone was stunned.

Lloyd asked, “What do you think?”

Orlando did not speak.

Lloyd said, “Why don’t you introduce me to Cassandra? My family also urges me to find a wife. Although I don’t have feelings for Cassandra, we can cultivate it slowly. What do you think?”

Orlando’s face immediately darkened. He glanced at Lloyd coldly and said in a cold voice, “I don’t want to hear such a joke again.”

After saying that, he left the room.

Everyone looked at Lloyd and asked, “What does Orlando mean? Is he going to introduce you to Cassandra or

not?

Lloyd smiled faintly. “Who knows?”

After getting out of Dark Veil Club, Orlando drove toward Dustmeadow Mansion.

Suddenly, Rebecca called. “Landy, it’s late now. Why are you not back yet?”

Orlando’s face still looked unhappy. He said in a deep voice, “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing. I’m just worried about you, Rebecca hurriedly explained, worrying that Orlando would be unhappy.

After she finished, Orlando did not respond for a long time.

She asked in a low voice again, “Landy, are you busy?”

“No,” Orlando responded briefly.

Then, come back early. Cassandra just got home, Rebecca said calmly.

“Cassandra just got home?” Orlando asked in a low voice.

Rebecca hummed and mumbled to herself, “Maybe Cassandra has a date?”

Orlando did not continue the topic, but his tone was much colder. “Rebecca, the doctor said you should rest more. It’s getting late. Go to bed early

Then, he hung up the phone without waiting for Rebecca to respond.

Rebecca looked at the time on her phone. It was only 9:30. Although it was late, it was not time to rest yet.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and was confused. She kept thinking about whether Orlando had changed his attitude toward her.

The more Rebecca thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She looked at Cassandra, who was sitting on the other side and looking at her computer with her head down. She walked over and looked at Cassandra condescendingly. “Cassandra, do you have a problem with me because I live here?”

Cassandra, who was busy with her design drawing, was stunned by her abrupt question. She raised her head and looked at her. Cassandra purposely went downstairs to work, as she knew Rebecca was not there. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“When did she come downstairs?‘ Cassandra wondered.

Cassandra glanced at her and said in a cold tone. “Ms. Spencer, you have a good imagination. You should be a screenwriter.”

Rebecca’s face stiffened. She stared at Cassandra and said, “It’s because of you that Landy is not coming back yet so late at night. Cassandra, why did you do this to me and Landy?”
