Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 56 Rebecca was taken away by her agent after lingering for a while. She was busy these days. Not only did she have to release a single, but she also had to shoot a promotional video. Since she had a big backer like Quinn Group, the news of her comeback was sensational.

She also received blessings from many A-listers in the industry.

However, Rebecca was currently troubled because she wanted to invite Jaiden Newhouse, a renowned songwriter, to write lyrics for her, but Jaiden had retired from the industry. Almost no one knew where he went, so it was impossible to contact him.

Rebecca remained silent for a while and finally decided to say to Orlando, "Landy, I want to invite Mr. Newhouse to write lyrics for my new song, but I don't have his contact information. Can you helpthink of something?" "Jaiden?" Orlando repeated.

"Yes, him. He has practically disappeared all these years without any news, but he's still popular. Both artists and fans like him very much. If he can helpwrite lyrics, I think th. will be good results. Can you help me?" asked Rebecca.

Jaiden becpopular when he was young. He was talented, but also aloof and rarely interacted with anyone. Few people could get in touch with him.

Orlando narrowed his eyes and said after a moment of silence, "It will be difficult to contact Jaiden. Can your comeback wait? How about I ask Taylor to contact a recent popular singer and ask him to write lyrics for you?" "Landy, please help me. I really want Jaiden to write lyrics for me," begged Rebecca.

Rebecca insisted not only to prove that Orlando loved her but more importantly, because Cassandra was there. If she was rejected like this, Cassandra would laugh at her.

'I can't let Cassandra get her way,' she reminded herself in her heart..

Orlando's face darkened, and his deep eyes were filled with coldness.

Seeing that, Rebecca immediately lowered her head and sobbed, "Landy, I'm sorry. I went too far. I shouldn't have troubled you. It's all my fault. I just want to becmore successful and get back to who I was a year ago.

1/5 Chapter 56 1..." "I will ask Taylor to contact him, but I can't guarantee results." Orlando frowned, his expression still indifferent. "Okay. Thank you, Landy. You're the best." Rebecca beamed happily, clearly overjoyed.

She even glanced at Cassandra with a smug look in her eyes, as if to say, “See, Cassandra? Landy lovesthe most." Cassandra briefly looked at her without giving any reaction. She had no interest in Rebecca's matter. Orlando was hospitalized for nearly half a month. Cassandra took care of him for most of that time.

She would occasionally take a break while Rebecca was around, but Orlando would call her over again. Sometimes she was confused, wondering whether Orlando didn't want Rebecca to overtire herself or was unwilling to see her.

Rebecca would be persuaded to leave with various excuses after staying for a while, which struck Cassandra as odd.

However, she didn't think too much about it. She just hoped that Orlando would be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible because the Quinn family were getting suspicious. The two of them hadn't gone back for dinner for half a month.

On the day Orlando was discharged from the hospital, the Quinn family called.

Peter asked on the phone, "Cassie, what's going on between you and Orlando? Did he bully you again? Why haven't you cback for dinner for so long?" The old man asked a lot of questions, and he sounded really worried.

Just as Cassandra was about to answer, her phone was snatched by a well-defined hand. Orlando let out a low chuckle. "Grandpa, you're just finding a reason to accuse me. Are we not allowed to spend talone as a married couple?" "Hmph, you brat. I'm telling you, don't bully Cassie, or I won't let you off easily. Bring her back for dinner tonight. I want to see if she's gotten thinner," said Peter.

2/5 Chapter 56 "Okay, I'll bring her back for you." Orlando was still smiling, but he stared straight at Cassandra.

After hanging up, he handed the phone back to Cassandra without taking his eyes off her.

Cassandra asked calmly, "Why are you looking at me?" "Grandpa wants to see if you've becthinner. I need to take a good look in advance, or else I can't explain to him when we go back." Orlando smiled.

Cassandra paused for a while. "I've lost weight taking care of you recently. I want to tell Grandpa." "Tell Grandpa what?" Cassandra froze when he suddenly closed in on her. He continued in a deep voice, "Tell him that I bullied you?" Cassandra reached out to push him away, but Orlando clasped her hand in his palm and smiled. "Do you think Grandpa would wantto bully you?" Orlando's reaction and behavior made Cassandra wonder if he, too, had fallen for her.

As soon as this thought popped up, she immediately dismissed it.

'No, he'll never fall in love with me," she thought to herself.

Cassandra told herself not to indulge in his tenderness. He was just showing respect for his wife.

In the evening, Cassandra and Orlando returned to the Quinn manor.

Peter stared Cassandra up and down. "Cassie, you seem to have lost weight recently. Have you not been eating properly?" The old man looked worried.

Cassandra replied, "I've been eating well. Don't worry, Grandpa Peter." She would still throw up, but only occasionally.

Though still worried, Peter didn't say anything more and looked at Orlando. "Orlando, do you still think of the Quinn manor as your home?" 3/5 "Of course, Grandpa," Orlando answered.

"Hmph, it seems toyou don't care about us at all." Peter looked unhappy and said in a cold voice, "How could you hide something as big as a car accident from your family? Someone from my family almost died because of an irrelevant woman, and I had no idea. Is this how you treat your family?"

The scars on Orlando's face had disappeared, and though the wounds on his feet feet were not fully healed, he tried his best to seem as normal as possible. Thus, it was difficult to notice anything wrong with him. Hearing Peter's words, Orlando subconsciously looked at Cassandra. His expression was cold and his eyes were filled with reproachful displeasure.

Cassandra saw it clearly.

Frederick also spoke up. "Orlando, you don't need to give Cassie that look. It has nothing to do with her. Dr. Garrett cto the house for your grandpa's physical examination and mentioned it. If not, I'm afraid we wouldn't have found out about it.

We're very disappointed in you." "Yes, what should we do if something happens to you? Orlando, how could you risk your safety?" Gabriela looked grim, too.

Luckily, Orlando was fine. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known what to do.

Orlando remained silent and waited for the three elders to finish speaking before explaining, "Grandpa, it was an accident. I'm fine now. I didn't tell you I was hospitalized because I didn't want you to worry about me." "That's not a good enough excuse, Orlando. I'm ordering you to keep your distance from Rebecca and stop getting in touch with her." Peter was stern.

Orlando appeared sullen and didn't nod. The atmosphere was particularly tense.

Cassandra was still thinking about Orlando's earlier gaze. She pursed her lips, hesitated, and finally spoke. "Grandpa, I have something to tell you." Cassandra's interruption finally ended the quarrel between Peter and Orlando.

Cassandra helped Peter back to his room. After closing the door, Peter asked, "Cassie, are you trying to help that brat get out of this?" 4/5 Chapter 56 "Of course not, Grandpa. I have something to tell you," she said.

Peter replied, "Okay, tell me. I'll listen." "Grandpa, I feel conflicted. Should I tell him I'm pregnant?" asked Cassandra.

She had started having doubts about whether to tell Orlando ever since he mentioned putting off the divorce for the tbeing.

It was just that she never found a chance to ask Peter.
