Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 76

Orlando’s frown deepened as he demanded, “Cassandra, can’t you be generous? Do you have to keep scores over trivial matters like this?”

I keep score? Orlando, why didn’t you accuse Ms. Spencer of making things difficult for me when she distorted the truth?” Cassandra interrogated in a low voice.

Although Cassandra knew that he would take Rebecca’s side unconditionally, she still couldn’t accept it and felt upset.

She pursed her lips tightly and kept telling herself that she should stop hoping

a pipe dream.

The guests also whispered about Orlando because of his long–term relationship and love with Rebecca.

The scene fell silent.

Peter stood up with his crutch and said coldly, “Orlando, continue protecting this woman, and you’ll regret it.”

Then, he left the room angrily with Cassandra in tow.

Peter comforted Cassandra in a low voice, “Cassie, it’s that brat that has let you down. I know you feel wronged.”

“I’m fine, Grandpa Peter. I should be the one to apologize for making you unhappy on your birthday,” she replied.

“Nonsense. I’m the happiest today, and it’s all because of you.” Peter smiled and took an antique jewelry box from the drawer. He said, “Take this, Cassie.”

“What is it, Grandpa Peter?” Cassandra asked curiously.

“Don’t ask what it is, and just take it,” Peter insisted, and Cassandra couldn’t refuse.

However, the jewelry box had a lock, and Peter didn’t give her the key, so she couldn’t open it. Yet, she did whatever Peter asked of her.

Cassandra chatted with Peter for a while. Then, he said, “You don’t have to accompany an old man like me. Go out and have fun with the young folks out there.”

Cassandra nodded. Actually, she was not interested in the party but didn’t want Peter to worry about her.

After leaving the room, Cassandra didn’t return to the banquet hall. Instead, she dropped by her car to stash the box and walked to the small garden by the swimming pool, sitting down and gazing at the stars while enjoying the breeze.

The scene at the banquet hall earlier came to her mind.
