Chapter 196 Did She Really Have a Husband
"Cheating?"
If this had happened with any other man, it wouldn't have been surprising at all.
But Orlando, who was known as the epitome of loyalty, had cheated? With whom?
Clearly, Penny hadn't connected the dots yet. After all, she knew she was his wife, so it couldn't be
considered infidelity. It was a legally recognized relationship.
Orlando saw the shock on her face and, for some reason, a faint smile curved his lips.
"Yes, infidelity."
Although Penny wasn't one to pay much attention to gossip, she was certainly interested when it came
to her husband's affairs.
However, since Orlando was still her client for the time being, she didn't dare to show too much
eagerness to avoid offending him.
"Mr. Fletcher, I'm curious about the appearance of the woman who managed to capture your attention."
After speaking, she suddenly realized something and her scalp tingled.
The woman he had an affair with... Could it be her?
Was Orlando punished because of her?
She remembered Nancy. After all, it was Nancy who went back to the Fletcher's mansion with Orlando
together.
If Nancy had told Rex about her, Re would have thought that Orlando had cheated. Then this
punishment he suffered was indeed related to her.
Orlando saw the change in her expression and knew that she had figured it out.
She was keen in her dealings, but when it came to the relationship, she was clueless.
Penny suddenly felt uneasy and realized that she had to keep her identity hidden even more.
Orlando's injuries were severe this time, and it'd probably take a month to heal. If he found out that his
affair was with his nominal wife, the one called Penny by Rex, he'd surely feel incredibly frustrated.
Even if he had a good temper, he'd probably settle the score later.
Originally, Penny didn't want to stay and take care of him. After all, they were alone, which was too
prone to ambiguity, especially in a hotel.
But now she knew the origin of his punishment and that she was the culprit. So she couldn't leave no
matter what happened.
And that night, the drugged drink came from the Stuart family. Orlando was innocent.
"Mr. Fletcher, let me stay tonight."
After that, she felt that the atmosphere became even more subtle. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Orlando's gaze fell on her, faintly cold and complex.
"A married woman, alone with a man in a hotel, and your husband really doesn't mind at all?"
Who on earth was her husband? So tolerant?
Penny immediately took out her phone and called Josh.
She had to play the whole act.
"Hello, Josh, Mr. Fletcher, who helped me before, got injured. I'm staying here tonight to take care of
him. Don't worry. I'll be back early tomorrow morning."
Her voice was gentle and she looked like a happily married woman.
When Josh received the call, he was helping his disabled sister with her homework.
Upon hearing her words, he immediately cooperated with her.
"Okay, just be safe. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."
Penny nodded, thinking of something.
Tomorrow was Saturday. Since Josh said so, he must not be busy.
As long as she left the hotel with Orlando, Orlando would see Josh and then no longer doubt her.
Orlando saw her talking in sync with the man on the phone, and his brow furrowed.
Did she really have a husband?
Penny hung up the phone, and her face relaxed.
"My husband agreed, Mr. Fletcher."
Orlando didn't say anything but suddenly felt a bit suffocated.
Maybe the windows in the room were closed. So he lost his breath.
He stood up, a coldness enveloping him.
"No need. Go back. Don't let your husband worry."
Penny felt that the conversation between them was a bit strange at this moment, but she still
persevered.
"Mr. Fletcher, I'll sleep on the sofa. If you need anything in the middle of the night, you can call me."
The conversation had reached this point, and coupled with her call to her husband just now, Orlando
didn't want to continue this topic with her and went straight into the room.
