    Where do you want to eat?” Ondo asked while staring at Cassandra.


    Cassandra replied in puzzlement, “Aren’t we going home?”


    Perhaps the words “going home” pleased Ondo as his handsome face turned gentle, and his blue


    eyes were full He asked. “Didn’t I say we would cat out?”


    Cassandra was still feeling astonished, and Ondo had already stepped on the gas.


    Ondo asked again. “What do you want to cat?”


    After some thought, Cassandra replied, “Silver Tide Restaurant.”


    of a smile.


    The dishes in Silver Tide Restaurant were mostly steak and tasted milder. Ondo didn’t like strong–


    vored food, and with Cassandra’s sensitivity to that kind of food, the restaurant was suitable for


    them.


    They had been married for a year, but this was the first time they’d caten out together.


    In the past year, Cassandra had been thinking of having a meal with Ondo alone but didn’t want to


    ask him for fear that she would get rejected, even feeling afraid that Ondo would get upset by her


    clinginess.


    Both of them kept quiet during the meal. When they were at home, Ondo would eat quietly most of


    the time, so it had be a habit for him.


    Just as Cassandra was thinking about the reason for Ondo to take her out for dinner tonight, Ondo


    said hoarsely, “Why


    the silence


    Cassandra raised her head and met Ondo’s blue eyes. She replied softly, “I thought you like to stay


    quiet when eating?”


    “Who told you that?” asked Ondo.


    “That’s how we eat at home,” Cassandra exined.


    Ondo smiled as he suddenly leaned forward and approached Cassandra, whispering, “Cassandra,


    you care that much about me?”


    Cassandra twitched her eyes and quickly looked away. She said. “Ondo, we’re a couple and have


    been together for a year. Is it that difficult to know you?”


    In fact, she wanted to ask whether he had ever paid attention to her.


    Yet, she knew the answer would be disappointing, so she decided not to ask.


    Ondo didn’t answer the question and replied faintly instead, “You’re easily distracted. Cassandra, did


    something happen recently?”


    Cassandra was stunned and didn’t expect him to notice her unusual behavior.


    She said, “Nothing. Perhaps there might be a lot going on.”


    Ondo didn’t seem to believe it. He fixed his gaze on Cassandra with a frown and asked, “Has your


    rtionship with the Jackson family always been like that?“,


    Cassandra wondered if Ondo was talking about her distantness with the Jackson family.

    Chapter 731


    Cassandra pursed her lips and didn’t avoid Ondo’s gaze or question as she answered, “You talking


    about our distantness?” She smiled casually. “Probably, After all, niy grandfather is the only one closest


    to me.


    Although Cassandra didn’t grow up with the Jackson family, Damian treated her very well. He often


    visited Cassandra at Violet’s house and brought various new stuff every time.


    Cassandra smiled when recalling the good old days,


    Ondo looked at her with indescribable emotions.

    They shared the same bed for a year, but only at this moment that he realized he had never really


    understood Cassandra.


    He had no idea what kind of person Cassandra was,


    After dinner, they returned to Dustmeadow Mansion. Ondo went to the study to settle his work while


    Cassandra returned to the bedroom.


    Cassandra wanted to give Peter a birthday gift.


    Peter liked to collect paintings, so Cassandra wanted to gift him one.


    After looking for a gift, she checked her phone again and found that Michael hadn’t contacted her yet.


    Cassandra called


    Michael again before Ondo could return to the bedroom.


    The call was cut off soon with a message sent as a reply instead, [Yes, Cassie? I can’t answer your call


    right now.]


    Cassandra asked. [Why couldn’t I get in touch with you the whole day? Everything okay?]


    [Everything’s okay. Don’t worry about me,] replied Michael.


    Cassandra wanted to ask more, but after noticing Ondo entering the room, she stopped texting


    Michael.


    Perhaps due to the dinner tonight, their rtionship seemed to have eased slightly.


    In the next few days, they went to the Quinn manor almost every day to help with the birthday banquet


    preparation. Their devotion and effort made Peter feel very grateful.


    “It’ll be better in a few months, he muttered to himself.


    Everyone was stunned by Peter’s words. Gabri asked, “Dad, what do you mean by that?”


    Cassandra froze.


    Peter simply replied, Tll be in a better mood after my birthday.”


    “Peter, Jook at you. Are you not happy now?” Gabri asked.


    “I am. I’m d to see you all well,” said Peter.


    Noticing the strong implication in the words, Frederick and Gabri subconsciously look at Cassandra


    and Ondo,


    Just then, Peter suddenly asked, ‘Ondo, Cassie, have you decided about your divorce?”


    The mentioned two looked at each other and fell into silence.


    Peter added, “If you decide not to divorce, I’m going to make it public in my birthday banquet that


    Cassie is our family member.


    Sat, 4 May


    Chapter 78


    Cassandra pursed her lips and replied. “Grandpa Peter, I don’t want to disclose my identity.”


    She thought the title of Ondo’s ex–wife would be stuck with her forever if Ondo wanted a divorce.


    She didn’t want that.


    She didn’t want to let more people know about her and was even more reluctant to take advantage of


    the marriage.


    However, Cassandra’s refusal was interpreted differently in Ondo’s mind. Ondo asked with a


    frown, “Why? Why don’t you want to make it public?”


    Cassandra asked, “Ondo, there’s no benefit for us to make our marriage public if you want to divorce


    me. Even if we don’t get divorced for the time being, there’s no point in making it public, right? You


    don’t love me at all, and publicity is not good for you. Isn’t it good to stay like this?”


    .


    Ondo sneered.


    He asked, “Cassandra, you think it’s for my good, or are you nning a way out for yourself at any


    time?”


    He rolled his Adam’s apple and pursed his lips into a straight line. His handsome outline disyed his


    deep and undisguised displeasure.


    Before Cassandra could say anything. Ondo gave her a deep stare and went upstairs.


    The atmosphere became quiet.


    Cassandra pursed her lips and kept silent. Gabri quickly lightened the mood and said, “Cassie,


    come with me. Let’s check if Grandpa’s birthday cake I prepared is suitable.”


    Cassandra smiled faintly and left with Gabri, holding their hands.


    Due to the argument, not only had Ondo turned upset, but he also unterally chose to give


    Cassandra the silent


    treatment.


    Their tense rtionshipsted until the birthday banquet.


    The banquet was held in the independent banquet hall of the Quinn Manor. The Quinn family had a


    high status in: Broburgh, and with Peter’s well–known reputation in the business world, various


    prominent figures attended the banquet.


    The Quinn manor was filled with joy. Every decoration disyed the nobleness of the host family.


    Peter’s favorite ssical music was yed on the stage, which was all performed by the top musicians


    in the industry as a congrattory.


    The birthday banquet today was for everyone to feast and chat, making Peter happy. The banquet


    lasted from morning to evening, and there was even a ball for the young peopleter at night. Before


    the ball, close family members would send gifts to Peter.
