Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)
Chapter 111 Umbrella

Chapter 111 Umbrella

She felt a little nauseous. When she went downstairs, she saw Helen sullenly sitting on the sofa.

Helen was well-maintained. She used to be attractive. Otherwise, Cason would not have fallen in love with or married her. After all, he had had a stable career back then while she had been a single mother. When she stared at Penny with her sparkling eyes, she looked charming. Seeing this, Penny inexplicably frowned and wanted to ask why she didn't go to the hospital today. Cason always spoiled Helen. If she wanted to rest at home, he wouldn't blame her. At the thought of this, Penny gave up asking about it and neatly opened the door.

But seeing the man standing outside the door, she narrowed her eyes and felt nauseous.

It was Talon. He wore a suit, so she guessed he had returned from the company. When he looked at her curvy figure, his eyes darkened. But he suppressed the urge when greeting her with a smile. "Penny, are you leaving?"

Penny didn't like how he looked at her, so she perfunctorily nodded. When she walked past him, he smelt her fragrance. He suppressed the desire and said, "I didn't see your car outside. What about I send you back."

"No, thanks."

"I am your brother."

When Penny walked away without replying, Talon stood and stared after her.

After he turned around and entered the living room, he noticed the smell in the living room. A disgust flashed across his face when he said, "Can you be more careful next time? She will discover it sooner or later!"

Hearing his sarcastic tone, Helen said, "I did not expect her to come tonight."

Talon removed his suit and draped it on his arm, saying, "I know you're cheating on Cason. But don't bring the man to the villa. Cason is not in good health. If you anger him, he may die. Don't forget Penny still has shares of the Stuart Group. You haven't coaxed her into giving you the shares. What's the rush?"

"Fine! It's all my fault. I let him leave through the back door. Fortunately, the guard alerted me in advance."

"It's good that you know you made a mistake."

When Talon was about to go upstairs, he added, "Let people deodorize the living room."

Helen felt embarrassed after her son found out about her love affair. So, she quickly asked the maid to clean and disinfect the living room and the study.

It took Penny half an hour to return to the hospital with the documents. The latter would have harshly ridiculed her if she had borrowed money from Helen to take a taxi.

When she was about to reach the hospital, she bumped into a nurse in a hurry to get off work and almost fell backward. Fortunately, she used the umbrella to steady herself, but a branch cut the umbrella open The nurse hurriedly apologized with her head down and left. It was just an umbrella, so Penny did not intend to ask for compensation.

Cason was in the ward alone. After reading the documents, he asked, "Why are you in such a mess?"

Penny sniffed and said, "My car got a flat tire. And I left my phone and bag in it. Can you give me some money to take a taxi?"

Penny had never asked Cason for money since he was eighteen. So, he felt a subtle sense of accomplishment when taking out a credit card.

Glancing at the Rolls-Royce umbrella in her hand, he asked with a frown, "Who gave you the umbrella?"

"A colleague."

"Does your colleague drive a Rolls-Royce?"

Penny wondered why he could guess Orlando was driving a Rolls-Royce by looking at an umbrella. Then, she lowered her head and saw the eye-catching logo on the umbrella handle. And she suddenly had a headache at the thought of the hole she had caused.

She was not surprised Orlando used a Rolls-Royce umbrella. After all, she had seen the Hermes dog leash last time. But she felt frustrated when thinking about the compensation. "Penny, you and your colleague..."

Penny did not want him to nag, so she truthfully said, "It's from Orlando. I bumped into him. And he lent it to me."

Cason's face suddenly glowed with joy when he willingly handed the credit card to her.

After asking a nearby supermarket for change, Penny didn't return to Hills Villa. Orlando had been driving there just now. If she went back, she might meet him.

It took the traffic police two hours to deal with her car. Then, they contacted the hotel where she was staying and drove it over.

When Penny saw the umbrella was 20 thousand dollars on the Internet, she felt a sting in her heart.

After Orlando finished the shower, the woman hadn't come back yet. But he didn't care. Anyway, she was a stranger to him.

When he picked up his phone and saw Penny transfer him 20 thousand dollars, he raised his eyebrows and sent her a question mark.

"Mr. Fletcher, I'm sorry. I broke your umbrella."

She felt unlucky, so she added a crying emoji.

Orlando seldom chatted with people online. He only spoke with his friends and occasionally called his business partners. So, he was a little surprised to see Penny send him such an emoji. After all, she was always cold. But at the same time, a subtle feeling arose in his heart.
