“What should I know?” Ondo asked in confusion.
Cassandrapressed her lips and cut to the chase. “Where were you tonight? Didn’t you say you’d
return carly so we could see Grandpa Peter at the hospital together?”
“Something urgent cropped up. I informed Mom,” he said.
“But did you inform me?” she questioned.
Ondo frowned harder, having a stronger feeling that Cassandra had changed.
Every word that came out of her was an aggressive demand.
Having seen her gentle side, he was not used to this at all. “If you’re being this way. because I didn’t
inform you, I apologize for overlooking it. It won’t happen again, all right?”
Cassandra said nothing.
Looking solemn, Ondo said deeply, “How about you just tell me everything that upsets you now?”
“This isn’t about me being upset but how long you n to deceive me,” she said.
“Deceive you?” he parroted.
Cassandra was beyond frustrated, thinking, ‘Does he still want to deny it at this juncture?‘

She said, “Frankly, you don’t have to hide it from me since we’re divorcing. I hope your can be honest
with me. Even if you want to apany Reba in selecting wedding dresses for your future
wedding, you can let me know. That way, I won’t call and bother you guys like a fool.”
Cassandra and Ondo were married, yet they didn’t even have a picture together.
She could find no sign of them being a married couple other than the wedding certificate and their
moments of intimacy in bed.
At the thought of this, her heart ached badly for the year she had stayed by him and for the uing
end of their marriage.
She didn’t regret falling in love with him, but she regretted why she did.

Hastily, Cassandra lowered her head, not wanting Ondo to see the tears in her eyes. She didn’t want
to be the weaker party.
Yet, Ondo’s eyes widened with shock. “Selecting wedding dresses? What on earth are you talking
about?”
“You’re sull not gonna admit it?” she asked.
“Why should I admit something I didn’t do? Cassandra, why have you be so unreasonable? You
weren’t like this before. Why are you so paranoid now?” Ondo loosened his tie and put his hands on
his waist, his handsome face as cold as ice.
Chilliness and indifference radiated from him from head to toe.
He stared fixedly at her as his emotions became increasingly uncontroble. “Are you making this up
because you want a divorce as soon as possible?”
Cassandra looked up and stated while ring, “Reba told me herself that you two were selecting
wedding dresses. Ondo, if you’re worried I’ll expose you in front of Grandpa Peter and your parents,
then rest assured. I’m not that despicable to stoop that low.”
As for how she was previously, that was because she had loved him too much. Now, however, his
insistence on divorcing had let her realize how insignificant she was to
him.
She was merely behaving this way as a form of self–protection lest she got hurt so deeply that she lost
all respect.
Finally, Ondo understood. “Could you have misheard? I purely apanied her to buy some clothes
to wear after she was discharged. I lent her my phone because she needed to call her former
manager.”
“So you’re saying I’ve used Reba unjustly and deliberately ndered you two?” Cassandra
questioned.
“I didn’t say that,” he answered.
“But that’s what you think, no? I don’t get it. Why is your phone always so coincidentally with Reba
whenever I call you? If you don’t wanna answer, I won’t call again,” she said.
She practically used up all her strength to say that. Her hands were tightly clenched under the quilt, for
she feared she couldn’t help crying.

Ondo’s deep gaze turned sharp and distant. He stared at her coldly and said in a harsh voice,
“Cassandra Jackson, are you purposely trying to pick a fight with me?”
