Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198 Mr. Fletcher Doesn't Like You

Penny truly didn't know Cason called Rex, feeling a wave of exhaustion.

Besides, she heard that Orlando had been to the Stuart family that night and had even warned them. Now Orlando should feel even more disgusted with this so-called wife.

Her father always did things that made her feel embarrassed.

But Penny was well aware that if she expressed her dissatisfaction with her father at this moment, Lana would be the happiest.

"Well, I understand."

She was about to leave, bypassing Lana.

Lana stiffened and was staggered.

Penny's relationship with Cason had always been strained. Now that Penny knew Cason had called Rex, how could she not blame him?

Lana had been in poor health. She had been waiting here since four o'clock in the morning. It had been for two hours.

Now Penny's reaction made her lose her temper instantly.

"Penny, Mr. Fletcher was with another woman in this hotel last night."

She thought that Penny hadn't been with Orlando.

But Penny's next words caused her to be heartbroken.

"I know. Last night, I was in the same room as him."

Her tone was flat, but it stabbed at Lana like a sharp knife.

Lana momentarily forgot to retort and stood there in a daze.

Seeing Penny about to leave, she panicked and blurted out, "How could you!"

Realizing that her tone was too harsh, she quickly added in a softer tone, "How could you be in the same room as Mr. Fletcher? Mr. Fletcher doesn't like you, Penny. You don't have to degrade yourself for the Stuart family. I know you're just trying to avoid opposing Dad."

A hint of confusion appeared in Penny's eyes, as she pretended not to understand. "Orlando and I are husband and wife. Shouldn't we be in the same room? And what Dad said was right. So many women in Chatville want to marry Orlando but don't have the chance. Since I'm lucky enough to marry him, I have to do everything I can to keep him, right?"

Every word she said was that Lana didn't want to hear.

Lana's face turned red with anger, and her breathing trembled.

Meanwhile, Penny had brought back the food.

Seeing the food for two, Lana was angrier.

But in order to avoid arousing Penny's suspicion, she forced a smile.

"Penny, it turns out that you and Mr. Fletcher have such a good relationship."

Penny smiled back indifferently as if saying it ought to be so.

She placed the food on the coffee table and reached up to tidy the documents, just as Orlando reached for the same file. Their hands unexpectedly touched.

Orlando stiffened and looked up at her.

Penny quickly let go, but her haste caused her to accidentally knock over the milk, spilling it onto the pile of documents. The milk dripped and soaked the papers, some even flowing onto the floor.

Orlando's brow furrowed, his face turning completely dark.

Penny realized she had caused trouble and shrunk back, her shoulders hunching in embarrassment as she bit her lip.

Her appearance, especially when she bit her lip, made her look somewhat pitiful.

Orlando had intended to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat. He couldn't say a single word at this moment.

Penny quickly withdrew her hand but accidentally knocked over the milk, which spilled onto the pile of documents. The milk soaked them, some even flowing onto the floor.

Orlando's brow furrowed, and his face fully darkened.

Penny realized she had caused trouble and hunched her shoulders, biting her lip in embarrassment.

She was good-looking, especially when she bit her lip, which made her look delicate and touching.

Orlando had intended to say something, but the words had stuck in his throat. He couldn't say a single word at this moment.
