Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 43 Cassandra was stunned for a moment before rejecting the possibility. She said, "How come? He is eager to draw a line between us. He wants to grant Rebecca a prominent position by his side, so how could he not want to divorce me?" This is ridiculous. Fin not stupid enough to think so. After all, it's impossible, she said to herself silently.

Michael rendered for a few seconds and then said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. I just feel that since you've decided to divorce, you shouldn't delay it any longer. After all, sooner or later, the divorce has to happen. It won't be good for anyone if you keep postponing it, right?" "Yes, you have a point, Cassandra agreed.

"Cassie, it's not that I want to interfere with your business, but I'm just worried that you will be wronged. Michael could tell that Cassandra was in a bad mood, so he deliberately explained himself.

Cassandra simply said. "I didn't think you were interfering. Didn't you say we were friends? Isn't friendship about trusting each other? How could I have misunderstood you?" 1 overthought it. I apologize to you, Michael said.

"Okay. I forgive you" Cassandra replied.

They chuckled through the phone and didn't pursue the subject further. Cassandra then shifted the conversation to work, saying. We'll officially begin our cooperation after the completion of our contract with Hawley Real Estate. As the client, Quinn expects the highest standards of work; we should be mentally prepared. Quinn Group may make considerable changes to the present designs" "I understand. I've already informed others to get mentally prepared. Are you planning to take full charge of the project yourself, or do you intend to involve other designers from the company?" Michael asked.

"No. I'll take full charge of it. You're responsible for reaching out for other collaborations. Also, please make the corresponding arrangement after we leave, Cassandra replied.

"Okay. I see, Michael answered in a low voice.

Cassandra fell silent. She took a deep breath and ended the call with an excuse.

She chose to becan architect initially because she wanted to have something in common to talk over with Orlando. Although Quinn Group covered a broad spectrum of fields, it began with real estate and architecture. Thus, she pursued a career as an architect to get closer to Orlando.

She understood that only exceptional individuals could stand alongside Orlando. It took a great deal of hard work and tears for her to achieve the prestigious title, a fact that could have been easily discovered if Orlando had paid sattention. However, now on the brink of divorce, he seemed unaware of who she truly was.

Cassandra a was frustrated.

Of course, she wouldn't take the initiative to tell him.

The news that Peter agreed to the divorce between Cassandra and Orlando also spread to the Jackson family.

Evelyn knew it from Gabriela at about nine o'clock that morning. Gabriela didn't have any other intentions. She simply believed that the friendship between the two families would persist even if Orlando and Cassandra were divorced. She said, "Even if the two decide to part ways, we are still friends. Let's stay in touch." 1/4 Chapter 43 Evelyn's face stiffened, and her eyes were full of cold anger. She responded to Cabriela indifferently, "Yes, you are right.

"Okay, let's plan to get together when we have sfree time. It's been a while since we played cards together," Gabriela said. 'Okay, Let's meet up in a few days. Then, Evelyn said she had something to do outside and ended the call.

After hanging up, Evelyn's expression immediately turned cold. She tossed the phone onto the coffee table and muttered indifferently, "What does Cassandra mean? Does she think we are not qualified to have a say in her life because she didn't grow up with us?" Austin, who was about to go to the company, was shocked by this news.

Austin responded, "It's also your fault for not paying much attention to Cassie. If you were more attentive, how could you not even know she's planning to get a divorce?" Austin told Evelyn unhappily, "What kind of a mother are you? You must convince Cassie not to divorce Orlando." After saying that, Austin left.

Evelyn felt aggrieved and attributed all her dissatisfaction to Cassandra. Initially, Austin showed less affection toward her due to her inability to have more children. Over the years, she had sacrificed a lot to secure her position and deal with Austin's illegitimate child, who, luckily, didn't cause many troubles. In her mind, she was determined not to be defeated by Cassandra.

Suzanne poured a glass of water and handed it to Evelyn. She said, "Mom, don't worry. Since they can't get along with each other anymore, divorce may be good for them. It will be bad for everyone if they go on like this.” "That's impossible. She can't get a divorce. I won't let her get a divorce," Evelyn declared.

A calculating gleam flashed in Evelyn's eyes. Suzanne, who was sitting at the side, observed it keenly, and soon, conflicting emotions and worries filled her.

In the evening, Orlando returned to Dustmeadow Mansion.

Hearing the sound of his car, Cassandra immediately got up and walked out.

They met at the foyer.

Cassandra asked, "What happened to you this morning?" "There was a board of directors meeting in the morning, and there were other matters to attend to in the afternoon," he explained casually.

Cassandra asked, "Are you busy?" "What do you mean, Cassandra? Do you think I'm intentionally avoiding the divorce?" Orlando asked.

"I didn't say that," Cassandra muttered lightly.

I just wanted to make things clear. Why did he react so badly?' she pondered.

Cassandra pursed her lips and said, “Then, let's go out tomorrow morning. If there are other tasks in the company, it should be fine to postpone for half an hour." Orlando felt irritable upon hearing those words, and his handsface displayed an impatient indifference. He said, "Fine, we will go tomorrow." After saying that, he walked past Cassandra without looking at her.

2/4 10:597 Sat, 27 Apr Chapter 43 The three of them sat in silence at the dinner table in the evening. Cassandra was usually quiet. Today, even Rebecca was Silent, which was a bit unusual.

d slightly swollen. Has she been crying? Perhaps Cassandra glanced at Rebecca silently and noticed that her eyes were red she was unhappy because Orlando and I didn't get divorced today? Cassandra wondered.

Thinking of this, Cassandra was no longer curious and went back to her room after dinner.

Rebecca seized the opportunity and immediately asked Orlando, "Landy, are you reluctant to divorce Cassandra? Today, you..

"Rebecca..." Orlando looked at her sternly and said, "I told you I had an important meeting today. Quinnm Group doesn't solely belong to me. It's a part of the entire Quinn family. I cannot afford to jeopardize anything with Quinn Group. Do you wish to continue making a fuss?" Rebecca's words lodged in her throat, and she could only look at Orlando with an aggrieved face.

Rebecca had been in a bad mood since she left Quinn Group earlier in the day. She was throwing a bit of a tantrum, hoping Orlando would take the initiative to comfort her, but it hadn't happened yet.

She panicked and didn't dare to continue making a fuss, so she could only ask the question herself. However, there was no fault in Orlando's response, and Rebecca felt even more insecure.

She didn't give up and asked, "Landy, I was making a fuss. I just want to know if you and Cassandra will really divorce..." Orlando narrowed his eyes and looked at her with deep eyes. "Of course.

"That's good. I won't ask you anything else, and I will listen to you," Rebecca said, a little excited with adali happiness. Landy, I would give anything for you, so we must get married, okay? I'm the one who loves you the most." Orlando hummed.

Only then did Rebecca beam, but her smile was a little jarring to Orlando's eyes.

'Isn't the decision to divorce Cassandra expected? Why do I hesitate at this moment? Orlando asked inwardly.

The more Orlando pondered over it, the more somber his expression became. Especially when he saw Rebecca's smile, he felt particularly annoyed.

Like the previous night, he avoided Cassandra and returned to his bedroom after she fell asleep. Even Orlando himself couldn't comprehend why he did that.

After a dreamless night, Cassandra got up very early.

Orlando was still asleep. She deliberately slowed down to wash up, changed her clothes, and then went downstairs with the documentation she had prepared.

After a while, Orlando went downstairs. Cassandra was sitting upright on the couch, couch, pursing her lips lightly. It seemed like she had deliberately applied lipstick, its alluring color capturing one's attention more intensely. Seeing her, Orlando looked gloomy immediately and said in a cold voice, "Cassandra, are you so eager to go through the divorce formalities?"
