Cassandra shook her head and said, “Mom, let’s go cat. He’s busy.”
A trace of indifférence appeared on her face.
“Why would he have dinner with me? He only wants to be with his sweetheart, Reba. Who am I to
him?‘ she thought.
“Ha!” Cassandraughed at herself and felt inferior.
‘Ondo is so determined that he does not love me. Why should I hold on?‘ she thought.
Gabri was the one who booked the restaurant.
It was a high–end restaurant not far from the hospital and also an established store in Broburgh for
many years.
They picked their table and ordered three dishes and a soup.

It was the first time they had dinner together alone, but there was no awkwardness. because Gabri
was a very gentle and chatty person.
She asked Cassandra, “How’s work in the office? You can approach Ondo if you need. help. If you
find it hard to ask him,e to me or Peter. We are on your side,” Gabri
said.
Cassandra smiled and thanked her, “Thank you, Gabri. It’s fine now. Ondo helped me out with
some issues a few days ago.”
“Really?” Gabri was a little surprised. Cassandra nodded and said yes, Gabri added, “It seems
that he is not altogether incorrigible.”
Cassandra was slightly stunned, but Gabri just smiled.
At this moment, the food was served.
The two of them were eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The mealsted for more than an hour. Both of them insisted on paying, but Cassandra. finally got to
pay the bill.
Cassandra said, “Gabri, it is only right that I pay because I am younger. And because I treated you,
it gave me the motivation to continue earning money.”

Actually, what she wanted to say was that she feared that it might be thest time she was treating her
to a meal. Gabri never mistreated her and had been really caring toward her.
That was why she wanted to do her part to care for her.
Gabri naturally did not refuse anymore after hearing what she said. Instead, she smiled and said,
“Okay, I’ll let my daughter–inw treat me. But you have to treat me to meals more often in the future. I
want to enjoy the benefits of being a mother–inw.”
Cassandra smiled and said nothing, for she did not know if there would be a chance.
After paying the bill, Cassandra took Gabri’s hand and was about to walk out. At this moment, a
gentle and sweet female voice suddenly came from behind them, saying, “Landy, you are so sweet.
You actually remember what I like to eat.”
Cassandra and Gabri both recognized the voice. They turned back and saw not only the woman
who spoke but also saw the man beside her.
This was how the four of them bumped into each other.
Cassandra’s face froze a little, but she was emotionless because she was already numb.
Ondo was a little surprised, but he regained hisposure in an instant and said, “Mom, why are
you here with Cassandra?”
“Why? Did you reserve the whole ce that I have no right toe?” Gabri’s tone was not
courteous, and her gaze became fierce.
“Mrs. Quinn, long time no see. How are you? I should have visited you at home earlier. But Landy was
worried about my health, so we put it off until now. I hope you don’t mind.” Reba lowered her head
and spoke in a voice so gentle that no one could find
fault with her.
However, Gabri did not show respect and asked indifferently, “You don’t have toe to the house.
The Quinn family doesn’t meet just anyone. By the way, Ms. Spencer, do you know the man next to you
is already married?”
“Mrs. Quinn, I…” Reba said.
Reba did not know how to react and looked at Ondo, who was beside her, instinctively.
However, Gabri did not give her a chance to seek help.

Gabri was indeed gentle and never arrogant and domineering, but every word she said in her gentle
voice could make someone really embarrassed.
Gabri said, “Why didn’t you answer, Ms. Spencer? Is there something you can’t tell? Or did you
already know that he has a wife but you still want to cling on to him? If that’s the case, you’re being
indecent. If this gets out, it might tarnish your reputation. Don’t you think so?”
Reba lowered her head and did not know what to say because Gabri was so sharp. If it were not
for her words, no one would have known Gabri was questioning her.
Reba pursed her lips tightly, tugged Ondo’s clothes while feeling aggravated, and said in a low
voice, “Landy, Mrs. Quinn is right. It is my fault.”
Ondo frowned and looked at Gabri, saying, “Mom, let’s talk about it when we get home. Reba
is still recovering; she should not be too worked up. Please don’t be like
that.”
“What did I do wrong? Did I say something wrong?” Gabri was so angry that she pulled Cassandra
to her side. “Who is this? Tell me, who is Cassie to you?”
Cassandra did not respond the whole time, but she was stunned when she got pulled
over.
She thought, ‘Did my mother–inw have to be so direct?‘
She met Ondo’s cold and indifferent gaze. She did not know if she was overthinking it, but she felt
that he was ming her.
‘Should I not be here? Or did I put Reba in a tough spot?‘ she thought.
There was no interaction between the two. Gabri said, “Ondo, don’t forget that your Grandpa is
still in the hospital. If you dare to mistreat Cassie, don’te back to the Quinn manor.”
Ondo did not know what to do with his mother. He knew that she was not as gentle as she seemed
but was actually very domineering.
Gabri added, “So, have you thought about my question? Who is Cassie to you?”
Ondo looked gloomy and did not speak for a long time.
No one could guess what he was thinking at all.
Seeing this, Reba said softly, “Mrs. Quinn, please don’t force Landy. If you are angry
Chapter 29
because of me, I will apologize to you. It’s all my fault, I…”
“Ms. Spencer, I’m talking to my son. As an outsider and a bystander, don’t interrupt me. Understand?”
Reba’s face stiffened, and she was so humiliated she could not say a word.
Gabri was satisfied and continued to ask, “Ondo, didn’t you hear what I said?”
“Cassandra is my wife. Are you satisfied with that answer now?” Ondo answered.
He seemed helpless and had no expression on his face. No one could tell what was going through his
mind.
His answer shocked Cassandra, hurt Reba, and made Gabri especially happy.
Gabri looked at Reba with a smile and said faintly, “Ms. Spencer, did you hear what he said? So,
a girl who has self–respect should not throw herself at a married man. This is such a shameless thing,
don’t you think so?”
Reba pursed her lips tightly with tears rolling from her eyes. She had to echo Gabri’s words and
said, “Mrs. Quinn, you are right.”
“Now that you understand, I don’t have to say more.” She nced at Reba coldly, then looked at
Ondo and said, “Let’s go. Send Cassie and I home.”
Ondo did not move but said, “Mom, you guys go ahead. Reba hasn’t recovered yet. I have to
send her back to the hospital.”
“Ms. Spencer won’t mind it, and she would not get close to a married man. Ms. Spencer, don’t you think
what I said is correct?” Gabri said.
“Mrs. Quinn is right. Landy, don’t bother about me. You should send Mrs. Quinn and Cassandra off,”
Reba whispered to Ondo.
However, she looked at Ondo with expectations in her eyes, feeling sad and wronged. Their hands
were tied and could not go against her when facing Gabri.
After saying that and before Ondo could answer, she suddenly lost her bnce and leaned to one
side. Ondo swiftly held out his hand to hold her. Then, she fell into his
arms.
Cassandra’s eyes widened, and so did Gabri’s.
Cassandra did not expect them to be so intimate in public. She did not know how to

describe her feelings at the moment.
The pain in her heart was so intense that she could not breathe.
She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “Gabri, let’s go.”
After saving that, she turned around.
Gabri red at Reba and Ondo angrily. She pointed to Ondo and said coldly, “You are
really a piece of work.”
Then, she hurriedly ran after her.
Ondo’s eyes trailed after Cassandra. Reba, who was leaning against him, also nced at her
and asked in a low voice, “Landy, is Cassandra angry?”
