Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 40 Everyone was about to move to the hall when William suddenly said, “Cassie, cand help me.” Okay. Cassandra hurried over.

Peter slowed down until everyone had entered the hall before saying to Cassandra, "Cassie, don't worry." "Grundpa Peter, 1 stand by my decision. Don't let him know that I am pregnant," Cassandra said.

"Okay, rest assured," said Peter, as he patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Cassandra breathed a sigh of relief.

Weston Garrett, who cto have a physical examination, had worked for the Quinn family for many years, so they were all familiar with each other.

After everyone sat down, Orlando said. "Mr. Garrett, thanks for making the trip here. Cassandra often vomits lately. What could be the cause?" Weston paused for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. But before he could say anything. Peter said, "Let him take at look atfirst. I'm an old man. I feel my heart beating fast lately. Could you examine it to see if there is any problem?" Frederick was worried when he heard that Peter was not feeling well and asked, "Dad, are you all right?" "Don't be nervous. It's nothing serious. I just want Dr. Garrett to take a look at me. Well, I'll go back to my room and lie down. You can cto my room to examine me," Peter said.

Weston nodded and followed Peter back to the room with his stethoscope..

Frederick tried to keep up, but he was turned down.

Gabriela was confused. "What's wrong with Peter? Why is he acting so mysteriously?" Orlando also looked at Peter's back with an enigmatic look on his face. As the party involved, Cassandra naturally knew why Peter was acting that way.

Hence, Cassandra said softly, "Grandpa Peter must be fired and hasn't had a good rest for the whole morning. It's good to have Mr. Garrett have a look at him. If there's anything wrong, we'll be able to look into it in time." "Yes, Cassie is right. Well, let's not worry about it." Gabriela also thought it was reasonable. Then, she had the fruit washed and handed it to Cassandra, "You haven't eaten much. Eat sfruit, or your stomach will be upset.

"Okay, thank you, Gabriela, Cassandra said with a nod.

About ten minutes later, Weston cout of Peter's bedroom.

Frederick immediately asked, "Weston, is my dad okay?" "It's okay. He is in good health. Don't worry," Weston assured him. "Really?" Frederick asked again.

"Do you think I'd lie to you?" Weston smiled and made his way to Cassandra. "Con, letexamine you." After sbasic examinations, Weston said to Cassandra, "Nothing serious. It's just a bad appetite caused by your stomach and intestines. Eat light food, and it will be fine after a while. You should pay attention to rest, and you must maintain a Chapter 40 pleasant mood at all times The more Gabriela beard it, the more amused she was. She said, "Weston, if you didn't say that Cassie had a stomachache; 1 would have thought that Cassie was pregnant." Gabriela's words were unintentional, but those who heard them went silent.

Cassandra pursed her lips slightly, and her face stiffened a little. Her bright eyes were filled with obvious uneasiness. She subconsciously looked up at Orlando, and he happened to be staring right at her.

They locked eyes with each other. Cassandra did not dare to continue looking and quickly lowered her head and averted her gaze.

Orlando's eyes were still fixed on her. Her reaction was strange, which made him wonder what she was trying to hide.

Weston responded indifferently. "She will have a baby eventually. Now, she has to take good care of herself" Thank you, Mr. Garrett, Cassandra muttered.

Weston just smiled and said, "You're welcome. Take care. If you have any questions, please contactdirectly "Okay. "Cassandra nodded. She understood what Weston was implying.

Weston didn't prescribe medicine and just reminded her to be mindful of her diet. He didn't linger before Frederick saw him out the door.

Cassandra finally breathed a sigh of relief. She collapsed on the couch, and Gabriela made an excuse to go upstairs to make space for Orlando and Cassandra.

Suddenly, only Cassandra and Orlando were left in the hall.

Orlando walked to Cassandra and sat down. He turned around, stared at her, and asked, "Why were you avoiding my gaze?" Cassandra thought. What's bound to happen has eventually happened: Orlando was a man who would think deeply of any doubt, and he would be sure to get to the bottom of everything.

Cassandra calmed down and said. “I wasn't afraid to look at you. I was just thinking about something." "What were you thinking about?" Orlando asked.

"I was worried about my health, but I was relieved after what Mr. Garrett said," Cassandra explained. "Really?" Orlando asked again "What do you think happened to me, then? Do you really think I'm pregnant?" Cassandra asked in the most casual tone, Orlando squinted as if gauging her words.

After a few seconds, he said indifferently, "Tellif you feel uncomfortable. Don't struggle alone. It's your body, after all." Cassandra just hummed and said nothing more..

Of course, she wouldn't flatter herself that he cared about her because he liked her. He was only saying that out of a husband's responsibility.

At this time, the old housekeeper, Alfred, cout of Peter's bedroom. He had worked for Peter for many years and commanded respect from both Frederick and Orlando. They respected Alfred very much.

2/3 Chapter 40 Alfred said, "Orlando, Mr. Quinn wants you to go inside. He wishes to speak to you." "Only me? Orlando asked.

"Yes," Alfred said.

"Okay" Orlando stood up and stopped when he was about to step forward.

He He looked down at Cassandra on the couch and whispered, “Wait forhere." Before Cassandra could respond, he had already gone to see Peter.

Cassandra paused and thought, Why did he askto wait for him here?"

In the bedroom, after Orlando cin, Peter let him sit down. He was not as belligerent as before.P Peter was now his usual self, calm and composed. Orlando asked, "Grandpa, are you looking for me?" "Yes. I have something to ask you alone," Peter said.

"Please, go ahead, Orlando said.

Peter looked a little serious, but his tone was very gentle. "Do you really want to divorce Cassie?" Orlando's eyebrows moved slightly, and his deep eyes were fixed on Peter. He said, 'Grandpa, I don't understand what you mean." "Do you really not understand or pretend not to?" Peter asked pointedly.

"Didn't you already agree to our divorce? Why are you askingsuch a question now?" Orlando looked at Peter and asked in puzzlement.

Peter looked calm and didn't show any emotions at all and merely said, "The marriage with the Jacksonm family a year ago was supposed to let Suzanne marry you, but Mr. Jackson ctoand insisted that Cassie marry into our family. Do you know why?" SEND GIFT
