Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 17

Cassandra and Orlando exchanged glances wordlessly. Then, he got out of the car, and they entered the house and returned to the bedroom one after another.

His unhappiness was written all over his face, and the atmosphere was rather solemn.

With the door and windows of the room being closed, the smell of cigarettes and alcohol on Orlando was extremely strong, making Cassandra uncomfortable. She asked in a low voice, “Do you wanna take another shower?”

“What do you mean by that? You think I’ve already taken a shower outside?” he questioned.

“Am I wrong?” she quizzed.

Orlando frowned, answering flatly, “Do you have something against me? If so, you can tell me. I’ve told you I won’t do anything to betray this marriage.”

“Who knows if you have? It’s not like I’m with you every day,” Cassandra replied softly.

He stared fixedly at her. “You wanna follow me around? Sure. How about we start tomorrow?”

“No thanks. Didn’t you already take a shower in the hospital?” she queried casually.

“Who told you I did? That’s a hospital, not a hotel. Do you think one can shower and stay there as they please?” he responded.

Candra fixed her eyes on him, mulling, ‘Did he really not? So, Rebecca lied?‘

She murmured, “I called you tonight. Ms. Spencer answered it and told me you were showering and couldn’t come to the phone.”

Orlando questioned blandly.
