Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 233 Just a Kiss

Chapter 233 Just a Kiss

Penny was a bit puzzled, wondering, "I didn't provoke him, did I?"

Then Penny got into the car. She saw Orlando was already reviewing paperwork. He was not wearing

the same suit he wore yesterday. It was gray and suited him well. He was born to wear anything.

A little bit of sunshine fell on his brow, making him look nobly detached and distant.

Penny got in the car and slammed the car door shut.

Grace's voice came from outside. Soon Grace piled in the car with a handbag in her hand.

"Orlando, I'm going to school, too. It just so happens to be on your way. Why don't you give me a ride?"

Orlando looked up from the documents, lifted his chin slightly, and said in a cold voice. "I'll be at

Prodale County for a few days. I'm not heading back to Chatville today."

Grace was already in the car at the moment and pushed her way as close to him as she could.

"It's fine. I'll take a trip to Prodale County then."

Obviously, Grace had an ulterior motive.

Looking at Orlando and Grace, who were sitting close together, Penny thought about her status and felt

funny.

But she didn't interrupt them and just turned to look out the window.

The car started.

Grace didn't stop chattering noisily in the car. When she saw Orlando reviewing documents, she was

sensitive enough not to interrupt him but began to badger Penny.

"You're really married? Doesn't your husband get jealous when you get in a car with another man?"

Grace wondered, "Penny came in Orlando's car, didn't she?"

"Ms. Franco, my husband doesn't ask me about my work."

"How can any man not ask about his wife's work? Unless he doesn't care about you."

With that, Grace turned to look at Orlando with undisguised adoration in her eyes.

"Besides, your husband should be feeling threatened when you interact with a man like Orlando, but

why didn't he give you a call?"

Grace was now really gossiping. Knowing that Penny was married, her hostility toward Penny was

gone.

After all, a guy like Orlando wouldn't be blind enough to fool around with a married woman. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Penny smiled sweetly, "A good marriage should probably grant each other some space, and it's also

important to keep a sense of mystery."

When Orlando heard this, the pen in his hand paused for a moment, and he thought of her husband

passionately kissing someone else in public.

If couples were going to give each other some space, wasn't that just giving a home-wrecker a

chance?

Grace stopped talking. She had nothing in common with married women.

Penny pretended she was taking a break, leaning back in the back seat for a nap.

She didn't know if it was her illusion that Orlando had been quieter than he had been before, not saying

a word.

Penny frowned at the thought of that incongruous kiss last night.

As much as she didn't want to admit it, when things became sexual, she did go weak in the knees as

he softly planted a kiss on her lips.

What the hell was going on in his head?

She didn't dare to ask.

She simply pretended to be blind and play dumb.

Two hours later, the car stopped at Adding Hotel. Penny, who was going to Philip's house to sort things

out, bowed to Orlando and thanked him.

"Mr. Fletcher, thanks."

Orlando glanced up at her and said in a flat tone, "Uh-huh."

Obviously, he was emotionally distant from her.

Penny guessed that it probably had been an adult-to-adult fling last night, and now that he was sober

and somewhat regretful, he was eager to put some distance between himself and her.

But she really wanted to tell him not to overthink it.

It was just a kiss.

Penny couldn't be bothered to say anything. Then she saw Grace follow Orlando out of the car and

intimately take his arm.

"You're staying here. Then I'll stay here tonight."

Orlando frowned a little but didn't say anything.

Grace looked up and couldn't wait for Penny to leave.

"You should go if you want... Goodbye, Perry."

Grace was full of smiles as she affectionately took Orlando's arm.
