    “What does he mean by that? Is he exining to me? But we’re about to divorce. Why does he still do


    these things that could make me misunderstand?‘ ruminated Cassandra, who genuinely couldn’t


    understand what Ondo was thinking.


    Nevertheless, in the face of his gentleness, she wavered.


    A love thatsted for ten years couldn’t just be gone in the blink of an eye as one wished. Even if she


    could endure the pain and suppress her feelings, those tender moments would still affect her.


    Cassandra held her breath, tears welling in her eyes. She refused to let herself be affected. “Why are


    you telling me these?” she asked calmly.


    Ondo chuckled. “Why do you think? If I don’t exin to you, I probably won’t be able to enter the


    bedroom tonight again, and the housekeepers are likely gonnaugh at my predicament. So, Mrs.


    Quinn, can you trust me now?”


    ‘Why has it be my fault?‘ she thought.


    Cassandra’s tone was indifferent as she said, “You left by yourself. I didn’t kick you out.”


    “What else was I supposed to do? Stay and continue quarreling with you?” he countered.


    “I wasn’t trying to quarrel. You were the one-” she started.


    He interrupted, “Okay, this matter is over. Let’s never bring it up again, all right?”


    Since Ondo had said so, there was nothing else Cassandra could say.


    Ondo added, “Shall we visit Grandpa this afternoon? I’ll pick you up.”


    Cassandra pursed her lips lightly. “Mm.”


    After hanging up the phone, Cassandra looked dazed, pondering, ‘What should I do with you, Ondo?


    Why are you still treating me the same even though we’re going to get divorced?‘


    Ondo still didn’t love her; she would rather he be crueler so that she could give up on him entirely.


    Meanwhile, Ondo went to the hospital.


    Reba would be discharged tomorrow, so he was here to help her deal with the

    paperwork.


    After that was done, he returned to the ward and saw that Reba’s manager, Sophia Kemble, was


    also present.


    Reba was a singer. Because of Ondo and her knowledge of marketing, she thrived in the industry


    and had her representative work. However, due to being unconscious. for a year from the ident, she


    had virtually be non–relevant in the entertainment circle now. Only a group of her old fans were


    still awaiting her return.


    Seeing Ondo’s arrival, Reba hurriedly smiled. “Landy, you’re here. Please give me some advice.


    Should I continue my career as a singer in my current state?”


    Ondo was expressionless as he answered, “Let’s talk about it after you fully recover. Now, I have


    something to ask you.”


    Sensing his apathy, Reba quickly told Sophia to leave first and asked softly when


    only the two of them were left in the ward, “What’s wrong, Landy? Is this a when


    health? Is something wrong?”


    Her eyes were full of worry and panic.

    Reba’s clear, bronzed face was particrly wan and weak because of her frail body. People would


    instinctively feel sorry for her, especially with how she looked while teary–eyed.


    Ondo frowned slightly. “Cassandra called mest night, and you answered it, right?”


    Reba froze briefly, thenprehended that it was about yesterday’s phone call.


    Rebapressed her lips, looking aggrieved and regretful. “Did Cassandra say something to you?


    Sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have answered your phone without permission. I just thought that she


    wasn’t an outsider, so-”


    “Reba, it’s not about what Cassandra said to me but what you said to her,” he said.


    Reba lowered her head with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Landy. I was too impulsive. I’m really


    insecure because Cassandra has been with you for a year. I’m afraid that you’ll fall in love with her. I’m


    sorry. It’s all my fault. Please don’t be mad, all right?”


    Ondo’s expression didn’t look great, and his gaze was distant. He said coldly, “Cassandra and I


    haven’t divorced yet. We are still married. I thought you knew and also understood that we won’t get


    along like a divorced couple right now.”


    Reba nodded remorsefully and promised that she would never do it again.

    Yet, Ondo was still angry. “Have a good rest. I’m going back to work. I’lle pick you up when you


    get discharged tomorrow.”


    Coldness flickered across Reba’s face as she watched his retreating figure, and her expression


    also turned vaguely stony.


    *****


    In the evening, Ondo drove to pick up Cassandra from work, and then they went to the hospital.


    Peter was still unconscious, but his condition was normal and stable.


    Gabri was inwardly overjoyed to see theme together. “Rest assured; Peter’s fine. If you two


    really worry about him, you should have a baby as soon as possible. As long as he bes a great–


    grandfather, he will surely get better.”


    Cassandra smiled stiffly, saying nothing.


    Ondo, too, furrowed his brow. “Mom, why are you saying this out of nowhere?”


    “What do you mean ‘out of nowhere“? You’ve been married for a year. It only took me two months to


    get pregnant with you back then. If a man can’t get his wife pregnant… Tsk, tsk. What do you think


    others will think about you?” Gabri noted meaningfully.


    Cassandra dropped her head and didn’t dare to make a sound, trying to keep herself out of this.


    Frederick also cleared his throat, feeling a little embarrassed.


    Ondo was the most helpless out of all of them. His facepletely darkened, and he looked even


    more indifferent and speechless.


    Yet, Gabri pretended not to notice and turned to Cassandra. “Cassie, be frank with me. Is there


    something wrong with Ondo’s body, which is why you’re still not. pregnant yet?”
