Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 28

Orlando spoke grandiosely, but Cassandra couldn’t help blushing. Even though they had seen each other’s bodies, it still felt awkward when he asked directly for her help. with the shower.

She withdrew her hand forcefully and lowered her head, wanting to quickly flee the scene. “Hurry up and take a shower. I’m going downstairs to have someone wash the bowl.”

Orlando, however, refused to release his grip. Instead, he asked in a low voice, “Cassandra, are you shy?”

Cassandra naturally wouldn’t admit it. She looked up and met his gaze before she asked earnestly, “Do you really need me to help?”

“We’re husband and wife. Isn’t this normal?” Orlando remarked.

“Okay, then,” said Cassandra as she turned to face him and began unbuttoning his shirt. Her cold fingernails touched his skin inadvertently. The original bland atmosphere was tinged with a strange feeling.

Orlando stood there stiffly. Cassandra looked ahead, and her expression remained

unchanged.

It wasn’t until she finished unbuttoning the shirt that he abruptly reached out to stop her. In a low voice, he said, “I’ll do this myself. You can go out.”

Cassandra hesitated for a moment before withdrawing her hand. Then she walked out of the bathroom.

In fact, she knew Orlando’s habits and what tricks would make him submit.

After leaving the bathroom, she raised her hand and patted her face. Then she came back to her senses and went downstairs.

After handing the housekeeper the bowl, she walked out of the living room and made a phone call.

The call was answered, and a female voice came from the other end. “Cassandra? Why are you calling me at this hour?”

“I’d like to ask you something about the baby,” Cassandra briefly explained her situation and then asked, “Will there be any issues?”

“Okay, I’ll let you know after I arrange my schedule. Please make the arrangement for me. As I mentioned before, I don’t want anyone to know for now,” Cassandra reminded.

That person assured her, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.”

“Thanks

for your help,” said Cassandra.

“Why are you being so polite to me? Let’s talk about the rest when we meet,” said the other person.

“Yeah, sure. Goodbye. Cassandra hung up the phone and deleted the call history before heading upstairs.

Orlando had done showering, and Cassandra handed him a glass of warm water. “Drink more water and rest early. Stop looking at anything related to work tonight, okay?”

He stared at her.

It felt like they were back to the time before they brought up the divorce. She had always been patient and attentive and would never get tired of taking care of him.

Suddenly, an incredulous thought appeared in his mind.

Orlando’s gaze grew deeper. It was as unfathomable as the deep pool.
