Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 57

Peter looked at her kindly and said, “Cassie, isn’t he nice to you? You don’t have to answer me. I know that if he treats you well enough, you won’t want a divorce, let alone hide the fact that you have a child. As a husband, he

is a failure.”

“The Quinn family has always valued relationships. Neither his grandmother nor his parents have had any marital issues. It might be that he isn’t truly a Quinn family member.” Peter let out a smile.

Cassandra, looking guilty and uneasy, responded, “Grandpa Peter, please don’t say that. It’s not entirely his

fault. We’re just not a good match.”

“You don’t have to defend him. He grew up under my watch, and I understand him better than anyone, Cassie. His biggest failure is that you won’t give him a chance. As for whether to tell him about your decision, no matter the outcome, I will support you,” Peter explained.

Cassandra fell silent, caught in a dilemma. ‘Telling Orlando means we can’t have a clean break if we get divorced in the future. If I don’t tell him, would I be too selfish?‘ she pondered.

After a long pause, she finally said, “Okay, I understand.”

“Cassandra, I’m sorry for putting you through so much.” Peter’s expression was filled with distress.

Cassandra smiled and shook her head.

As Peter needed to take medicine, Cassandra came out first. However, when she closed the door and was about to walk forward, a tall and straight figure suddenly emerged from the corner and blocked her way.

They looked at each other and she took the lead in turning away.

Orlando stared at her and asked, “What did you talk about with Grandpa?”

“Nothing,” Cassandra replied.

“Really?” he questioned, his expression skeptical.

Cassandra suddenly thought of William questioning her about the car accident, and her emotions surged. She raised her head, looking indifferent as she said, “You won’t believe me anyway. Whatever I say, in your eyes, it’s
