Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Acting to the End

"I saw Mr. Fletcher on that road and guessed that Mr. Fletcher must have a house in that area."

She was grateful to have run into Orlando when she walked her dog Niko.

Upon hearing this, Orlando suddenly remembered that Penny's leg seemed to be injured, but she didn't treat it at the hospital just now.

Throughout the journey, she hadn't shown any signs of discomfort. Was she forcing herself?

Indeed, Penny was forcing herself. Even pressing the accelerator pedal caused excruciating pain in her foot.

But she had caused such serious injuries to Orlando and delayed their attendance at the banquet tonight. She had to do something for him, or else she wouldn't feel at ease.

She didn't want to owe Orlando in any way.

"Mr. Fletcher, I only know that you have a house in that area, but I don't know which building specifically. Can you point it out later?"

Acting to the end.

Orlando leaned back, and his gaze was calmly fixed on her.

Penny inexplicably felt a chill down her spine, gripping the steering wheel tightly. Her palms were sweating due to the pain.

When she saw Hills Villa, she instinctively stepped on the brakes. It was a reflexive action caused by her body.

The car stopped at the entrance of Hills Villa, and Penny looked up, meeting his gaze through the rearview mirror.

His eyes were dark and cold as he said in a detached tone, "Why are we stopping here?"

Penny bit her lip, realizing that she had made a mistake. She felt a cold sweat breaking out on her back.

"My foot is hurting, and I'm just taking a break."

"Hmm."

Orlando half-closed his eyes, uttering only that word.

He thought she was invincible, but it turned out she knew pain.

Coincidentally, they happened to stop at the entrance of Hills Villa.

Anika Fox had seen Orlando's car before and hurriedly came out upon hearing the sound.

"Mr. Fletcher, has the banquet ended?"

As she was separated by the glass, Anika didn't see Penny.

Orlando, who only had a small window open, responded with a grunt.

Anika was a bit puzzled.

"Didn't Ms. Stuart come back with you?"

Thinking of that woman, Orlando's brows furrowed in annoyance.

"No, I won't be staying here tonight. There is no need to welcome me."

Anika nodded quickly, "Alright, Mr. Fletcher, take care."
