Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Nothing but Adult Affairs

Penny was feeling a little embarrassed at the moment, as she had no clothes underneath her bathrobe and was completely bare down there. She felt on fire when Orlando saw her in this state.

Orlando held a tube of ointment in his hand and only wore a shirt with several buttons undone, revealing his collarbone. There were bandages visible further down.

Penny figured he had come to ask her to apply ointment on him. Their rooms were nearby, and she had previously helped him with his injuries. She wasn't sure where Zane's room was, and Orlando didn't need to go out of his way.

Orlando's gaze fell upon her for a moment before he turned to go back to his room.

However, Penny was worried that if she didn't apply the ointment, his wound might become worse. After all, he had been whipped because of her.

"Is it the ointment? Come in," she said, stepping aside.

Orlando paused for a moment, his furrowed brows indicating his hesitation.

If it were any other woman dressed like this and inviting him inside, he would have thought it was an invitation for something else.

But this was Penny, and the reason he had been hit by the bug that night was because her gaze was too pure.

Now, she was just concerned about his injury and inviting him in, and that was all.

Orlando hesitated for a moment. He heard footsteps coming from the other side. It seemed someone was approaching.

"Orlando!"

When he heard Grace's call, he furrowed his brows tighter and walked straight into Penny's room.

Just as the door closed, the footsteps outside became louder, and someone stopped outside his door.

"Orlando! Do you want some fruit? Dad grows strawberries, and they're huge!"

It was clear that Grace's intention of bringing strawberries so late at night was not sincere.

She had noticed that, with Orlando's attractive appearance and status, almost every woman he encountered seemed enthusiastic towards him. As his supposed wife, however, she often avoided him and wanted to distance herself from him as quickly as possible.

She found it amusing but also became conscious that she wasn't wearing any clothes underneath the bathrobe, her body heating up.
