Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 74

As Peter’s son and daughter–in–law, Austin and Evelyn were naturally the first to give the presents. They gave Peter a cane made of rosewood. The color of it was beautiful, and it was worth a fortune.

“Dad. I wish you good health, and I hope all will be well,” Austin and Evelyn blessed Peter in unison.

Peter nodded and said with a smile, “Thank you.”

Then, it was Orlando’s turn. He gave him a coffee set made of emerald. They were all custom–made with the finest emerald and one–of–a–kind.

Next was Cassandra’s gift. It was a painting with simple packaging.

She handed it to William and said, “Grandpa Peter, happy birthday. I wish you lots of happiness.”

Peter took the gift from Cassandra personally. He cherished her gift, and those present could see his affection for her and knew about their relationship. Therefore, those who were unaware would naturally not suspect anything.

Peter looked down and asked in surprise. “Cassie, is this Scott Prior’s painting?”

Scott Prior was a famous painter, and Peter had been a fan of him since his youth.

Cassandra nodded and asked, “Grandpa Peter, do you like it?”

Yes, I do. Your gift really warms my heart, Cassie. I have been looking for this painting for years, and I couldn’t even win it in an auction. You’re the best, Cassie, Peter responded.

Peter spoke with excitement. He expressed his deep affection for Cassandra, which made Austin and Evelyn very happy.

Tm glad you like it, Grandpa Peter.” Cassandra smiled and felt happy inside..

Someone at the scene suggested, “Mr. Peter Quinn, may we have the pleasure to see it?”

“Cassie, what do you think?” Peter asked and looked at Cassandra.

She said, “Grandpa Peter, the painting is already yours. It’s your call
