Cassandra said, “It’s possible. We’d better be careful.”
“Okay, I’ll look into it,” Michael said.
Michael seemed hesitant to say something.
However, Cassandra didn’t dwell much on it and thought he was tired, so she told him to rest early and ended.
the call.
After turning off the computer, she picked up her phone and checked the time. It was already ten o’clock. Orlando probably wouldn’t come back tonight.
Cassandra suddenly remembered his warning. He had said that he wanted her to maintain a distance from the opposite sex before the divorce. “But what about him? Shouldn’t we abide by the same rule?‘ she mused.
Cassandra pressed her lips and dialed Orlando’s phone directly.
The phone was answered swiftly, and a woman’s gentle voice came. “Cassandra? I’m Rebecca. What can I do for you?”
Cassandra’s face stiffened as she thought, “He really loves Rebecca. He even lets her use his private items such as his phone.‘
Cassandra clenched her teeth and said in a low voice, “Can you pass the phone to him?”
“Sorry, he’s not available now. Why don’t you call back later?” Rebecca said.
“It’s okay. I can wait,” Cassandra said.

“Cassandra, it’s not that I don’t want him to answer the phone, but…” Rebecca paused.
“But what?” Cassandra didn’t give up and asked.
Rebecca silently glanced at the door that had just been shut. Orlando went to discuss her discharge from the hospital with the doctor, but she didn’t reveal the truth over the phone. “It’s just that Landy is taking a shower now, and I don’t know how long it will take him, so…”
Cassandra’s face stiffened with disbelief in her eyes.

‘Are they
Intimate?‘ she asked silently.
She sneered in her heart, ‘Cassandra, do you see it now? He only asks you to keep a distance from the opposite sex, but he doesn’t have any self control when facing Rebecca!
Cassandra clutched her phone tightly and said indifferently, “Okay, I see. Then, I won’t bother you.”
After saying that, she quickly hung up before Rebecca could respond. She was afraid that she might reveal her envy if she hung up one second late.
She understood clearly now that the so–called “keeping a distance from the opposite sex” was just a reminder not to do anything that would tarnish his reputation. As for her reputation, it didn’t matter at all.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Orlando never considered whether she would be mocked by others.
Cassandra sneered and thought, If I were Rebecca, Orlando wouldn’t be willing to do this.
However, there were no ifs in this world.
In the ward, Rebecca held Orlando’s phone and hesitated for a while. Then, she deleted the call record and put it back.
The door of the ward was pushed open at the next moment. Orlando’s slender figure walked in slowly. He noticed that Rebecca looked a little flustered, so he asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Rebecca shook her head and smiled, her eyes sparkling. “Landy, what did the doctor say?”
“You should take a good rest for the moment. You can be discharged from the hospital in two days. I’ll arrange accommodation for you,” Orlando said.
“Okay. I’ll do whatever you say,” Rebecca said.
“Okay,” Orlando responded.
He glanced at the phone on the counter next to him, and then reached out to check. There was no message. His eyes gradually darkened, and he said in a low voice, “It’s late. You should rest now. I’ll go back and come to visit
you tomorrow.”
Rebecca quickly reached out and clutched the corner of his clothes. She pursed her lips and spoke with eluctance. “Landy, I’m scared to stay alone. Can you stay tonight?”
Orlando’s face was expressionless, and his blue eyes were indifferent. He said, “Rebecca, it’s not convenient for ne to stay here. I am married. It will be bad for you if the news gets out. I have informed the caretaker to come over later, okay? They should be here in no time.”

fall. She asked, “Landy, are you really going to divorce Cassandra? I don’t want to force you, but for some unknown reason, I’ve been feeling quite insecure. I’m afraid that you will have feelings for Cassandra. After all, she’s bright and pretty…”
Orlando frowned and said, “I will definitely divorce her. It’s just that we still need some time to deal with Grandpa. Rebecca, you should rest and recuperate. As for the other things, I will take care of them.”
“Then, can you stay with me tonight?” Rebecca pleaded.
