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.

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 become an 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 some attention. 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.
