Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Keely's Mockery

Talon was smiling and dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He was quite handsome, but his gaze inexplicably made Penny feel uncomfortable.

With no expression, Penny handed him Lana's medicine.

"I have already seen her. Take the medicine to Helen."

Talon raised his eyebrows. "Let's go up together. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"No, I have something else to do." Penny handed the medicine over and turned to leave the hall.

Talon looked meaningfully at her graceful and distant figure. Meanwhile, he couldn't help but hold the medicine bag to the tip of his nose to sniff it.

He thought, "A young woman with outstanding appearance appeared in the gynecology department and even took antibacterial and antiviral drugs. Interesting."

Talon lowered his eyes, and his lower abdomen suddenly tightened.

He thought again, "She looks so cold, but I didn't expect her to be so playful.

Well, I can understand that. After all, her husband has been away for three years, so it's not surprising that she would turn to another man.

Take it easy, Talon. She will have to return to the Stuart's mansion, and there is always an opportunity."

Penny got into her car, still feeling a little unhappy.

Back then, Helen and Lana were brought back by Cason to the Stuart family, along with Talon, who had no blood relationship with Penny. Since they could see each other every day, Penny felt somewhat awkward.

Although Cason had persuaded her to stay, when she vaguely suggested that Talon could move out, Cason hesitated.

Cason felt he owed Helen and Lana a lot, so he also loved Talon.

Penny didn't want him to be stuck in the middle, so she moved out herself.

Now, she felt like she was an outsider.

She didn't need to go to the studio today, so she went straight home. On the way back, her phone rang, and her already bad mood worsened when she saw the caller ID on the screen.

With the phone ringing incessantly, Penny took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

"Hi, Ms. Moran."

The caller was Orlando's biological mother, Keely Moran.

From the moment of obtaining the certificate, Keely, Penny's "mother-in-law" had been extremely dissatisfied with her. Penny knew that well, so except for pretending to be a good granddaughter-in-law in front of Rex, she had been staying away from the Fletcher family.

"I hope you can come to the Fletcher's mansion and discuss the divorce with me."

Keely went straight to the point. Afraid of Penny's refusal, she even said, "Penny, you should know that we couldn't stop Rex back then, so you married Orlando. Now Orlando has taken over the Fletcher Group and the entire Fletcher family, so Rex will probably agree with the divorce."

When Keely saw her, her face was black. However, since Penny didn't argue for compensation, she didn't intend to embarrass her.

"Don't blame me for speaking so bluntly. You should be very clear about the current situation of the Stuart family. You'd better quickly persuade your father to give up, for he's not good at business at all. We Fletcher family have helped him once, but we won't help him a second time. Also, your stepmother is still targeting you, so you are in a terrible situation. Marrying you has not helped at all, and we have even had to look after your whole family. Anyway, you can only blame your family and yourself."

Penny, sitting on the sofa, nodded approvingly at this. "Yes, I'm really not worthy of Mr. Fletcher."

In fact, apart from the marriage certificate, they were not very different from strangers. They were husband and wife only in name.

Therefore, the divorce was actually a relief for her.

Keely hadn't expected to hear that.

She was speechless for a while, and for a moment, she couldn't figure out whether Penny, who looked so humbly in front of her, was acting or not.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a car braking in the courtyard.

The servant waiting outside saw Orlando's car stop and quickly came in to report, "Mrs. Moran, Mr. Fletcher is back!"

Keely stood up happily and walked quickly to the door.

Penny also stared in the direction of the door. She had prepared herself to face Orlando, but her originally calm heart had suddenly become uncontrollably nervous.
