    Only then did Ondo respond and reply in a hoarse voice, “Yes.”


    He sat up straight and looked at Cassandra as he asked softly, “Sorry, I suddenly felt a little


    ufortable in my heart and didn’t stop the car in time. Did I scare you?”


    With aplicated expression, Cassandra looked at him and wondered, ‘Did he really hit the car


    because he couldn’t stop the car in time? Not because of something else?‘


    Soon, Cassandra stopped probing further. He didn’t love her, so it couldn’t be that he was jealous.


    She responded calmly, “I’m fine. What’s wrong with your heart?”


    “Nothing. Probably because I’ve been working intensely without taking a break. I’ll be fine after a while,”


    assured Ondo.


    He looked slightly pale.


    Cassandra said, “Then go in and have a rest.”


    “Can you help me up?” he requested in a low voice, looking at her with expectation.


    His gaze was so gentle that she could not say a word.


    Cassandra was stunned. Before she could say anything, Michael came over. “Mr. Quinn, do you need


    help? Cassie isn’t as strong as me. Let me help you.”


    Their unfathomable, deep eyes met. Neither of the two men intended to give in.


    If one’could kill with their gaze, a war would’ve already begun at the moment.


    Ondo didn’t move as he withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, “Mr. Collins, thank you very much.


    But I’m not used to having any contact with strangers, so let my wife do


    it.”


    Staring at Cassandra with his blue eyes, Ondo said, “Cassie, help me up. Don’t trouble Mr. Collins.


    What do you think?”


    Cassandra stared at Ondo before her. For a moment, she felt Ondo was somewhat different. She


    had never seen him like this before.


    He was quite pretentious.

    Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Ondo added, “Cassie, it must be tiring for Mr. Collins to drive


    you back. It won’t be nice if you keep troubling him, right? Besides, we’re a couple. I should thank Mr.


    Collins for taking care of you. How could I trouble him?”


    “Okay, let me help you.” Cassandra pursed her lips and replied lightly.


    Then she looked at Michael and said softly, “Michael, you can go back first.”


    “Okay, I’ll go now. Call me if you need anything. We’ll talk about it tomorrow at thepany,” replied


    Michael.


    “Well, drive safely,” said Cassandra.


    “Take care, Mr. Collins,” said Ondo.


    Michael nodded before he got in the car and left.


    After watching Michael leave, Cassandra reached out to help Ondo out of the car. Although she was


    not short among thedies, she looked particrly petite in front of


    him.


    He put his hand on her shoulder as if he was holding her in his arms.


    They remained silent and walked into the house.


    Graham, who had been taking care of them all the time, eximed when he saw this.. “What’s wrong?”


    Cassandra replied gently, “Graham, please call a doctor. Ondo said his heart doesn’t feel well, which


    may be caused by fatigue.”


    “Okay, I’ll make the call right away,” replied Graham.


    “Graham, no need. I’m fine and just a little tired. I’ll be fine after resting.” Ondo stopped Graham from


    calling the doctor.


    Cassandra helped him sit on the couch and insisted, “Ondo, you’re feeling difort in your heart.


    It’s not a trivial matter. Just call a doctor to check on you so that I can stop worrying, okay?”


    “I’m truly fine. I just need to rest for a bit. Could you take care of me? I don’t want others toe close


    to me. His voice was low and gentle, and he fixed his eyes on her.


    Ondo’s action had left Cassandra confused.

    Chapter 27


    She didn’t know if she should feel happy or uneasy.


    She was happy because he didn’t regard her as someone else, but she felt uneasy because she was


    worried that she would fall for him again.


    In the end, Cassandra didn’t call the doctor and apanied him upstairs to his bedroom.


    Then she made some oatmeal and watched him finish it.


    She had to admit that he always looked outstanding and handsome. Even his gesture. when he was


    having the oatmeal looked graceful.

    Back then, Cassandra was also attracted by his looks at first sight. Thinking of the past, she could not


    help but smile.


    She suddenly grew curious and looked at Ondo. “Do you remember the first time we met?”


    “Yes. Your grandpa took you to the Quinn manor and said he would marry you to me,” replied Ondo.


    Ondo’s face was slightly pale probably because he was unwell, but he still looked charming.


    Following his deep voice, the scene of that day also came to mind.


    Before that, he had already known about the marriage of convenience with the Jackson family, and it


    was something that he could not refuse.


    He was resentful, of course.


    However, after seeing her, he felt that it seemed possible to live with her.


    Ondo didn’t know it wasn’t the first time they had met.


    Cassandra had already met him before she left the Jackson residence and went to the countryside. It


    was the encounter that led to such an unforgettable event in her life.


    He remembered nothing about that. Looking down, she smiled bitterly. She was clearly aware that he


    only had Reba on his mind from beginning to end, so why would he have his eyes on someone


    else?


    She was certainly a good example.


    After falling in love with him, she could no longer love someone else.


    Chapter 27


    Cassandra gathered her thoughts before she asked, “Ondo, have you ever regretted this marriage?”


    “Why did you ask that?” He frowned.


    “If it weren’t for our marriage, you would’ve married Ms. Spencer by now, right?” She kept her head


    down.


    Furrowing his brows, Ondo looked somewhat annoyed. “There’re many things that we can’t predict.


    Everything is bound to happen.”


    Cassandra said, “If you had the choice, would you still marry me?”


    “What about you? Would you?” he questioned.


    “Me?” asked Cassandra.


    “Would you?” he repeated..


    Cassandra smiled faintly. If she had the right to make every decision, she would have two choices. One


    was not to miss the chance when she first met him, and the other was that she would rather not get


    married if she had known the marriage would turn out like this


    She wouldn’t tell Ondo her thoughts, though. She would never tell Ondo how much she loved him.


    She merely said indifferently, “Maybe yes, or maybe no.


    Ondo frowned, his eyes reflecting an inexplicable dissatisfaction. “Maybe? What do you mean? Just


    give an exact answer.”


    “What about you?” she asked rhetorically. She was the one who started this topic.


    “I’ve never thought about it, and I know there’ll never be such a possibility. So for me, everything that’s


    happening now is fated. Since it’s already happened, is there a need for us to look into other


    possibilities?” he replied.


    “Yeah, since it’s already happened, we’d better not think about it anymore,‘ she thought.


    After waiting for Ondo to finish the oatmeal and rest for a while, Cassandra finally went to turn on the


    water tap. “Take a shower. You need to see a doctor if you still feel unwell, okay?”


    “All right.” He was obedient and cooperative.

    However, when Cassandra was about to go out of the bathroom, he grabbed her hand and said in a


    low voice, “Where are you going?”


    Take a shower first. I’ll go get changed,” replied Cassandra.


    Actually, she was slightly tired and worried about the baby. She wanted to call her


    friend to have some ideas about her situation.


    Ondo asked, “Won’t you help me?”


    Cassandra was dumbfounded.
