Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 79

Cassandra’s expression gradually became solemn after she heard Nellie’s question.

As a matter of fact, the time when she last looked in the mirror was not the first time he touched her belly. Orlando assumed that she had gained some weight and playfully teased her about it, saying, “I like it better when your tummy’s a little round. It feels nice.”

Since then, his hand never left her abdomen at night, despite their strained relationship. Every time she woke from her sleep, she would find his hand resting on her waist.

Had Orlando been a bit more observant, he might have noticed the subtle changes in Cassandra. Yet, his heart had never been fully committed to her, so those details flew past him.

Cassandra responded nonchalantly, “Maybe we’ve gone our separate ways before it’s too late to hide. Why bother stirring up trouble?”

If you have no love for someone, anything they do will irk you.

Such thoughts lingered on her mind.

Meanwhile, in another building in Broburgh.

Rebecca found herself getting dragged to the company by Sophia early in the morning. Rebecca had been dealing with many problems over the past few days. In the ruthless world of showbiz, a single misstep could unleash a torrent of public criticism. Recognizing the need for foresight, she resolved to devise strategies early.

Sophia briefed Rebecca about an invitation from a sponsor, saying, “We have a dinner tonight. Secure a sponsorship for your new song, and all the problems you’re facing will go away.”

“I’m not interested. Mr. Ross is fat and gross. I don’t wanna have dinner with him.” Rebecca dismissed the ideal without a second thought. Despite catching some flak after the birthday banquet, she did not plan on enduring it any longer.

However, Sophia persisted. “Rebecca, we really need this sponsorship. Once we lock it down, they won’t ridicule you anymore. It’s just a meal. Plus, I’ll be with you the whole time. You can handle it, right?”

Undeterred, Rebecca shot back with a hint of annoyance in her voice, “I’ve got an innocent idol image going on. What if I get photographed eating with that revolting guy?”

Sophia scowled. Rebecca was her cash cow, so she had no choice but to let her be.

Tension hung in the air.

After a beat of silence, Sophia leaned in and spoke in a hushed voice, “Rebecca, you’ve been taking the heat. lately, and Mr. Quinn is giving you the silent treatment. Are you gonna let that slide?”

Rebecca was caught off guard.
