Chapter 31

“Of course not.” Cassandra glanced at him.

“What are you up to?” Orlando asked.

“I didn’t do anything,” she replied.

“We always have meals together. Today, you didn’t even send me a message. Have you fulfilled your responsibility as a wife?” His words were harsh and laden with dissatisfaction.

Cassandra smiled helplessly. “Orlando, you’re willing to disregard your well–being for Ms. Spencer. How would I know if you’d come back for dinner? Moreover, if I called, I can’t guarantee it would be you who’d answer. If it were her, why would I bother calling?”

Cassandra was still upset about the previous night’s event where he ignored his health, which she could not get

over.

Nevertheless, Orlando didn’t see it that way.

Orlando questioned, “Are you mad at me because of what happened at the restaurant?”

“Are you referring to you choosing to dine with Ms. Spencer instead of joining me and Gabriela, or to Ms. Spencer hugging you in front of me and Gabriela?” Cassandra asked.

She would have kept quiet if he had not brought it up, but he did.

It felt like rubbing salt in her wounds, and her heart ached.

Orlando narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, “That was just a misunderstanding. Do you expect me not to

help her after she fell to the ground?”

“I didn’t say that,” she responded.

“But isn’t that what you mean?” he refuted.

“Orlando, since I’m such a person in your heart, why bother explaining to me that it was just a misunderstanding?” She was becoming increasingly unfamiliar with him.
