Cassandra found herself at a loss for words.

She thought, “What’s he talking about? Why is he being so unreasonable?’

She intended to clarify, but Orlando cut in, “Is this about my accident involving Rebecca? You’re being jealous, Cassandra.”

His last sentence is not a question but a statement.

Cassandra met his gaze coolly.

After a pause, she replied. “If I were jealous, how would you explain this to me?”

Orlando’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Have you fallen in love with me?”

“What do you think?” Cassandra countered.

Despite her calm exterior, her heart felt nothing.

Orlando pressed. “If you don’t love me, why are you reacting so strongly? Isn’t it because you’re jealous?”

He seemed convinced of her jealousy and that Cassandra was merely her emotions veiled.

Cassandra smiled faintly. “Orlando, would you be upset if our roles were reversed? Imagine your wife rushing out in a storm for another man and ending up in a hospital. Would you accept that if you were in my shoes?”

Orlando’s face immediately turned cold, and he stared at her indifferently.

Cassandra paused and pursed her lips. “Right now?”
