Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 42 Orlando frowned slightly and looked at Cassandra subconsciously. He responded to Rebecca in a low voice. "Did Cassandra tell you that we are going through the formalities tomorrow?" "Yes, Cassandra toldwhen she cback in the morning. Is that correct, Cassandra? Rebecca gazed at Cassandra with a soft expression without the sharpness from their earlier confrontation.

However, Cassandra ignored Rebecca. She simply gave the latter an indifferent glance and looked away. Cassandra was silent, and Rebecca's expression was slightly stiff.

Rebecca whispered, “Landy, since you and Cassandra are going through with the formalities, we should move out. After all, you mentioned that this mansion should be left to Cassandra as part of the divorce settlement. If we keep living here after your divorce, others might say we bully Cassandra." Orlando's face turned slightly stern, and he seemed a bit impatient. His tone grew cold. "Is that what you mean too?" This question was directed at Cassandra, of course.

Orlando and Cassandra locked eyes. His intense gaze was icy, almost stinging like frostbite.

Cassandra didn't shy away from his gaze but looked right at him and stated, "I don't plan to stay here after the divorce. I'll find another place, so you can continue living here if you haven't found a suitable place yet." Orlando owned a lot of property, so Cassandra believed his claim that Rebecca's lack of proper accommodation was just art excuse Cassandra believed he made this excuse because he wanted to be with his beloved all the time.

However, all this soon had nothing to do with her, so she wouldn't ask any more questions.

But, Orlando's expression was grim throughout the night. Cassandra didn't know if it was because of her response.

'He looks mad. But what is he mad about? Cassandra thought. She couldn't figure it out After dinner, Orlando returned to his study, and Cassandra went into the bedroom.

He didn't return to the bedroom even until late at night, so Cassandra never had a chance to talk to him again. She fell asleep waiting.

After a dreamless night, it was soon the next day.

Around six o'clock in the morning. Orlando cout of the master bedroom and went downstairs directly.

He didn't even have breakfast and was about to go out. But, just as he was about to get in the car, he heard a woman's voice. "Landy, are you going out?” Orlando turned around, and Rebecca trotted over.

He gave a short yes before asking. "Where are you going so early?" "Landy, aren't you going to go through the divorce procedures with Cassandra at City Hall today? May I go with you?" Rebecca asked Orlando appeared indifferent, with a subtle hint of irritability crossing his face. He asked. "Are you planning to go to Cit 14 8611 Chapter 42 Hall with us?" "Well, is that okay? I want to go with you. She spoke. Her eyes were full of expectation.

Orlando paused for a while and then said, "City Hall hasn't opened yet. I have to go to the company now." "Well, I have nothing to do. I can accompany you," Rebecca said.

"As you wish." Hearing Orlando's voice, Rebecca was so happy that she quickly opened the door and got into the passenger seal.

It was seven o'clock when Cassandra got up.

There was no one beside her. She assumed Orlando must have gone downstairs.

However, she didn't see Orlando when she went downstairs after washing up and changing her clothes. She asked Graham, "Where is Orlando?" "Orlando went out early in the morning with Ms. Spencer, Graham replied.

"Okay, I see," Cassandra responded casually, yet inexplicable emotions resonated in the depths of her heart, creating ripples that were impossible to overlook..

"Where did he take Rebecca so early? Are they so eager to celebrate our divorce? Cassandra mused.

At the thought of this, Cassandra could feel a dull pain in her heart as though being bitten by ants. The pain was moderate, but it made it hard for her to breathe.

Cassandra ate something and went out.

She thought Orlando would accompany Rebecca to celebrate first and then meet her directly at City Hall, so she drove there by herself.

Meanwhile, in the CEO's office on the top floor of the Quinn Group building. Orlando sat at his desk, engrossed in the documents in his hand, while Rebecca occupied the couch opposite. She had been patiently waiting there for an hour.

She had specifically checked the working hours of City Hall. It was time, but Orlando remained unresponsive. After shesitation, she decided to give him a reminder.

"Landy, are you done? Can we go now?" Rebecca asked and looked at Orlando gently, her voice melodious. Orlando checked the ton his watch and said calmly, "Wait a minute." Rebecca could only purse her lips and say nothing.

She reassured herself that Orlando and Cassandra would go through the formalities today anyway. After waiting for so long. there was no need to hurry for an hour or two. There was no need to risk triggering any potential displeasure from Orlando Therefore, Rebecca said no more and waited in silence.

Seeing Rebecca had lowered her head, Orlando quietly picked up his phone and sent a message to someone on his contact list. He then placed the phone back where it was and resumed reading the documents.

About ten minutes later, Taylor knocked on the door of his office.

"Mr. Quinn, there is an emergency board of directors meeting. I'm afraid you'll need to reschedule your morning plans." 24 Chapter 42 Taylor hurriedly strode in and looked at Orlando with a serious but slightly nervous expression.

Orlando stood up immediately and asked, "Now?" "Yes, now," Taylor said.

"Okay, you can cancel all my morning schedules, Orlando instructed indifferently. Then, he looked at o Rebecca, who was sitting blankly on cca, the Couch, and said. "Rebecca, I'll ask someone to send you hfirst. If you have other arrangements, I can also ask someone to send you there. I have an emergency meeting to attend now, so please excuse me." Rebecca was stunned.

Before she could say anything, Orlando had walked out of the office with Taylor.

It was ten past nine in the morning.

Cassandra was already waiting at the gate of City Hall.

However, Orlando had not arrived yet.

She checked the tseveral times. She had been there an hour and a half Finally, she took out her phone and dialed Orlando's number, but it took a long tfor someone to answer.

"Hello, Mrs. Quinn. It's Taylor. Mr.

Quinn is in a meeting. What can I do el for you? Taylor answered the call. Cassandra was a bit taken aback. "He's in a meeting?"

"Yes, there's an emergency at the board of directors, so Mr. Quinn is in a meeting to address address it. Is there anything specific you would liketo pass to Mr. Quinn?" Taylor asked.

"No, thanks. After hanging up the phone, Cassandra looked helpless.

What kind of meeting is it that he can't spare half an hour to complete the formalities first? she mused.

Cassandra held the phone in a daze.

Right then, the phone in her hand suddenly rang.

She looked down and saw the caller ID on the screen.

She answered the phone. "Hello, Michael." "Have you finished the formalities?" Michael asked in a low voice.

Cassandra responded expressionlessly, "Not yet. He has something else to do." "He has something else to do?" Michael asked.

"Yes, Cassandra said.

Michael didn't think so. He said, “Cassie, does he not want to divorce you?"
