Chapter 56
Reba was taken away by her agent after lingering for a while. She was busy these days. Not only
did she have to release a single, but she also had to shoot a promotional video. Since she had a big
backer like Quinn Group, the news of hereback was sensational.
She also received blessings from many A–listers in the industry.
However, Reba was currently troubled because she wanted to invite Jaiden Newhouse, a renowned
songwriter, to write lyrics for her, but Jaiden had retired from the industry. Almost no one knew where
he went, so it was impossible to contact him.
Reba remained silent for a while and finally decided to say to Ondo, “Landy, I want to invite Mr.
Newhouse to write lyrics for my new song, but I don’t have his contact information. Can you help me
think of something?”
“Jaiden?” Ondo repeated.
“Yes, him. He has practically disappeared all these years without any news, but he’s still popr. Both
artists and fans like him very much. If he can help me write lyrics, I think th. will be good results. Can
you help me?”
asked Reba.
Jaiden became popr when he was young. He was talented, but also aloof and rarely interacted with
anyone. Few people could get in touch with him.
Ondo narrowed his eyes and said after a moment of silence, “It will be difficult to contact Jaiden. Can
youreback wait? How about I ask Taylor to contact a recent popr singer and ask him to write
lyrics for you?”
“Landy, please help me. I really want Jaiden to write lyrics for me,” begged Reba.
Reba insisted not only to prove that Ondo loved her but more importantly, because Cassandra
was there. If she was rejected like this, Cassandra wouldugh at her.
‘I can’t let Cassandra get her way,‘ she reminded herself in her heart..
Ondo’s face darkened, and his deep eyes were filled with coldness.
Seeing that, Reba immediately lowered her head and sobbed, “Landy, I’m sorry. I went too far. I
shouldn’t have troubled you. It’s all my fault. I just want to be more sessful and get back to
who I was a year ago.

“I will ask Taylor to contact him, but I can’t guarantee results.” Ondo frowned, his expression still
indifferent.
“Okay. Thank you, Landy. You’re the best.” Reba beamed happily, clearly overjoyed.
She even nced at Cassandra with a smug look in her eyes, as if to say, “See, Cassandra? Landy
loves me the
most.”
Cassandra briefly looked at her without giving any reaction. She had no interest in Reba’s matter.
Ondo was hospitalized for nearly half a month. Cassandra took care of him for most of that time.
She would asionally take a break while Reba was around, but Ondo would call her over
again.
Sometimes she was confused, wondering whether Ondo didn’t want Reba to overtire herself or
was unwilling to see her.
Reba would be persuaded to leave with various excuses after staying for a while, which struck
Cassandra as
odd.
However, she didn’t think too much about it. She just hoped that Ondo would be discharged from the
hospital as soon as possible because the Quinn family were getting suspicious. The two of them hadn’t
gone back for
dinner for half a month.
On the day Ondo was discharged from the hospital, the Quinn family called.
Peter asked on the phone, “Cassie, what’s going on between you and Ondo? Did he bully you
again? Why haven’t youe back for dinner for so long?”
The old man asked a lot of questions, and he sounded really worried.

Just as Cassandra was about to answer, her phone was snatched by a well–defined hand. Ondo let
out a low chuckle. “Grandpa, you’re just finding a reason to use me. Are we not allowed to spend
time alone as a married couple?”
“Hmph, you brat. I’m telling you, don’t bully Cassie, or I won’t let you off easily. Bring her back for
dinner tonight. I want to see if she’s gotten thinner,” said Peter.

“Okay, I’ll bring her back for you.” Ondo was still smiling, but he stared straight at Cassandra.
After hanging up, he handed the phone back to Cassandra without taking his eyes off her.
Cassandra asked calmly, “Why are you looking at me?”
“Grandpa wants to see if you’ve be thinner. I need to take a good look in advance, or else I can’t
exin to him when we go back.” Ondo smiled.
Cassandra paused for a while. “I’ve lost weight taking care of you recently. I want to tell Grandpa.”
“Tell Grandpa what?” Cassandra froze when he suddenly closed in on her. He continued in a deep
voice, “Tell him that I bullied you?”
Cassandra reached out to push him away, but Ondo sped her hand in his palm and smiled. “Do
you think Grandpa would want me to bully you?”
Ondo’s reaction and behavior made Cassandra wonder if he, too, had fallen for her.
As soon as this thought popped up, she immediately dismissed it.
‘No, he’ll never fall in love with me,” she thought to herself.
Cassandra told herself not to indulge in his tenderness. He was just showing respect for his wife.
In the evening, Cassandra and Ondo returned to the Quinn manor.
Peter stared Cassandra up and down. “Cassie, you seem to have lost weight recently. Have you not
been eating
properly?”
The old man looked worried.
Cassandra replied, “I’ve been eating well. Don’t worry, Grandpa Peter.”
She would still throw up, but only asionally.
Though still worried, Peter didn’t say anything more and looked at Ondo. “Ondo, do you still think
of the Quinn manor as your home?”

“Of course, Grandpa,” Ondo answered.
“Hmph, it seems to me you don’t care about us at all.” Peter looked unhappy and said in a cold voice,
“How could you
hide something as big as a car ident from your family? Someone from my family almost died
because of an irrelevant woman, and I had no idea. Is this how you treat your family?”
The scars on Ondo’s face had disappeared, and though the wounds on his feet were not fully
healed, he tried his best to seem as normal as possible. Thus, it was difficult to notice anything wrong
with him.
Hearing Peter’s words, Ondo subconsciously looked at Cassandra. His expression was cold and his
eyes were filled with reproachful displeasure.
Cassandra saw it clearly.
Frederick also spoke up. “Ondo, you don’t need to give Cassie that look. It has nothing to do with
her. Dr. Garrett came to the house for your grandpa’s physical examination and mentioned it. If not, I’m
afraid we wouldn’t have found out about it. We’re very disappointed in you.”
“Yes, what should we do if something happens to you? Ondo, how could you risk your safety?”
Gabri looked grim, too.
Luckily, Ondo was fine. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known what to do.
Ondo remained silent and waited for the three elders to finish speaking before exining, “Grandpa,
it was an ident. I’m fine now. I didn’t tell you I was hospitalized because I didn’t want you to worry
about me.”
“That’s not a good enough excuse, Ondo. I’m ordering you to keep your distance from Reba and
stop getting in touch with her.” Peter was stern.
Ondo appeared sullen and didn’t nod. The atmosphere was particrly tense.
Cassandra was still thinking about Ondo’s earlier gaze. She pursed her lips, hesitated, and finally
spoke. “Grandpa, I have something to tell you.”
Cassandra’s interruption finally ended the quarrel between Peter and Ondo.
Cassandra helped Peter back to his room. After closing the door, Peter asked, “Cassie, are you trying
to help that brat get out of this?”

“Of course not, Grandpa. I have something to tell you,” she said.
Peter replied, “Okay, tell me. I’ll listen.”
“Grandpa, I feel conflicted. Should I tell him I’m pregnant?” asked Cassandra.
She had started having doubts about whether to tell Ondo ever since he mentioned putting off the
divorce for the time being.
It was just that she never found a chance to ask Peter.
