Chapter 152 It Wasn''t Affection


    Chapter 152 It Wasn''t Affection


    Penny had been perplexed about Lana''s attitude towards her. She had thought they had gotten along


    well, but Lana had always liked to gossip in front of Cason.


    Cason had often gotten angry at her when Lana inadvertently mentioned something about her.


    Their rtionship seemed good because Lana had called her sister affectionately every time as if they


    were genuinely intimate sisters.


    Helen''s dislike for her was apparent, but Lana''s true feelings for her had been hidden deep inside.


    At this moment, Penny finally realized that Lana couldn''t possibly like her because she had upied


    the position of Ondo''s wife.


    When she thought about what had happened before, she could see clearly why Lana went outside


    even when she was sick.


    Hearing Lana walk away, Penny slowly straightened up. She could feel Ondo''s warm breath, and the


    distance between them instantly became very close.


    She raised her head while he lowered his head, and the tips of their noses almost touched.


    She quickly let go of him and pretended to touch her forehead as if she had leaned against him just


    because she suddenly felt unwell.


    Ondo narrowed his eyes and felt slightly disappointed as she left his arms, but he quickly regained


    hisposure.


    Penny nced outside and saw that the Stuart family''s car had already left, and she breathed a sigh of


    relief.


    Just as she left the car, she heard her cell phone ringing. It was Cason.


    There was a trace of surprise in her eyes. She suppressed the trembling of her fingertips due to


    difort and answered it.


    Cason said on the other end of the phone, "Penny, the second round of financing has seeded. The


    Fletcher family has reinvested. I am thinking of celebrating my discharge from the hospital. Why don''t


    you invite Ondo to dinner at home, by the way? I will ask Helen to prepare a nice dinner. We should


    thank him properly. "


    Cason said he was inviting Ondo to dinner to thank him but was trying to continue ttering the


    Fletcher family.


    This realization made Penny feel sick to her stomach. But when she thought that Cason now had


    terminal liver cancer and only had another year to live, she couldn''t help feeling helpless.


    "Dad, who discharged you from the hospital?"


    "I wanted to be discharged from the hospital myself, Penny. You don''t have to worry about my health."


    Cason''s face was full of joy because the financing was sessful.


    "Thepany''s market value has doubled. In the future, we will rely more on our rtionship with the


    Fletcher family. Let''s invite Ondo to dinner at home the night after tomorrow. I haven''t seen him since


    he came back from abroad."


    "We''ll see." Penny hung up the phone directly and frowned deeply.


    She had exited the car and turned around to thank Ondo, but Ondo was reading the documents


    intently on hisp, looking calm.


    She owed him so much in a short period that she didn''t know how to repay it.


    She said, "Mr. Fletcher, thank you for tonight."


    Ondo pursed his thin lips, nodded slightly, and told Zane to drive.


    Zane nced at him in the rearview mirror and stepped on the gas.


    After the car drove away, Ondo nced at Penny in the rearview mirror.


    She was still standing there, probably awake, and then she turned to walk towards the hospital alone.


    Ondo took the documents away from hisp and looked down at a specific part of his body that


    seemed a little excited.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Penny had identally touched a ce she shouldn''t have touched in a panic just now. She had even


    wrapped her hands around his waist, and he could feel her warm breath on his chest through the fabric


    of his shirt.


    He pursed his lips and tightened his grip on the documents. His wrist bones were straightened, slender,


    and muscr.


    Ondo raised his hand and rubbed his temple with a hint of irritation.


    He wondered whether she had done it on purpose or not. She had tempted him just right every time.


    Ondo didn''t like pinning his emotions on others, so he rationally suppressed his hesitation.


    He told himself that he was tempted by her probably because of that night together.


    It was just dopamine at y.


    It wasn''t affection.
