Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 158 He Chuckled with A Hint of Mockery

Penny came downstairs, and there was no one in the living room. She called someone from the

company and made an appointment at seven in the evening. She took her bag at the entrance and left

without noticing the gifts on the coffee table.

Anika was busy instructing the kitchen staff to make a nourishing dinner, thinking about giving Penny a

healthy meal, so she didn't notice Penny leaving.

There were not many servants in Hills Villa. Penny had rarely seen other servants here. Except for

Anika, who often appeared in sight, she rarely communicated with others.

She had told Rex that she liked peace, so Rex had ordered not to send too many servants over. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

After Orlando arrived, he got a call when he got out of the car. It was from Rex.

Facing Rex's aggressiveness, Orlando was concerned about his health and did not refute.

"Rex, I'm already in the Hills Villa."

Rex finally let out a sigh of relief. After all, Penny's father had been still sick a few days ago, and it was

normal for her to be in a bad mood. As her husband, Orlando should comfort her at this time.

Orlando hung up the phone, unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, and walked in.

He had come back in a hurry. He had just finished a few meetings when he received Rex's order. He

had been gloomy and even more annoyed because of Rex's demand.

His shirt sleeves were rolled up to the middle of his arms, revealing his smooth muscle lines. His eyes

were deep and bright.

The bridge of his nose was straight, and his lips were pursed tightly. When he opened the door, the air-

conditioning was almost freezing.

When Anika saw him, she was stunned momentarily and then said respectfully, "Mr. Fletcher."

Orlando hung his coat on the rack nearby, changed his shoes, and then took a look upstairs.

Anika somehow noticed a sense of indifference and boredom in him.

"Dinner will be ready soon. I'll ask Ms. Stuart to come down."

"OK." Orlando nodded slightly, walked directly to the sofa, and sat down.

Seeing the coffee table covered with gifts, he frowned.

The coffee table was filled with top-quality ingredients and jewelry.

A servant brought him coffee and explained softly, "They're Mr. Fletcher's gifts for Ms. Stuart."

Orlando didn't know much about jewelry, but what Rex brought out was not cheap. This pile of stuff

probably cost tens of millions.

He sneered. They had helped the Stuart family with two rounds of financing and occasionally given

Penny gifts worth tens of millions. Who did Penny think she was to deserve this?

Her inexplicable love for their fragile body?

Orlando was not a man who valued appearance. If Penny had any disease, he would not ridicule her

body, but she had always looked at him with eyes full of ambition and determination, which was quite

annoying.

Anika knocked on the door upstairs for a while, but there was no response from inside.

When she returned, she thought of Penny's tired face and wondered if she was fast asleep.

But now Mr. Fletcher was here. If she didn't wake Penny up, they might have another

misunderstanding.

"Ms. Stuart?" Anika knocked on the door cautiously a few more times.

There was still no response from inside.

Although Anika and Penny were close, she did not dare to open the door rashly at this time.

She waited outside the door for a few minutes without any response from inside, so she could only go

downstairs.

With Orlando downstairs, she felt in a dilemma.

"...Mr. Fletcher, Ms. Stuart is probably not feeling well and needs to rest for a while." Anika found Penny

an excuse.

Orlando chuckled with a hint of mockery.
