Chapter 220
Cassandra heard the whispers behind her but didn’t say a word. They were right. She was remarried. There was nothing to refute, but Trevor suddenly turned around and reprimanded the gossiping men just then.“]
“S–Sir…” The men were scolded but didn’t dare show any resentment.”
Trevor’s tone was cold. “Cassandra is my wife. How much respect you show me, you will show her just as much. If I hear this kind of talk again, all of you will be kicked out of the Nolans.”
Cassandra couldn’t help but smile slightly as she saw Trevor standing up for her. When visiting the elder house with Samuel, she was always singled out.
Samuel and his family always said, “Why is it that everyone picks on you?” Or they’d say, “It’s just a few words, it’s not like they’re going to hurt you. Just bear with it“. To Samuel’s parents, if Cassandra was being bullied, she either deserved it or should tolerate it.
The men who had been scolded lowered their heads. “We won’t do it again.“”
Trevor ordered, “Apologize to her in person.”
The men immediately stepped forward, bowing. “Madam, we’re sorry for gossiping. We won’t do it again.”
Trevor held Cassandra’s hand. “Just because they apologized doesn’t mean you have to forgive them. If you’re still upset, I’ll throw them out of the Nolans.“}
Cassandra didn’t want to make a scene, so she said, “Forget it. Since they’ve sincerely apologized, let’s leave it at that.” Trevor shot a cold glance at the men. “Get lost“. Then they scurried away in disgrace.
Cassandra looked at Trevor beside her and smiled. “Thank you“. Trevor made her feel what it was like to be genuinely cared for.
“Protecting my wife is my duty. If a man can’t even protect his wife, he doesn’t deserve to be a husband.“}
Cassandra’s smile deepened. “I’m lucky to have you.” Before they could enjoy the moment, a commotion erupted outside. Trevor frowned. “Wait here. I’ll go check it out.”
“If we’re husband and wife, we face things together,” Cassandra insisted.
“Alright,” he replied with a smile.
When they reached the front hall, they saw Ariel Nolan. She was trying to enter but was stopped by the servants. Cassandra stood on the stairs. Her face was icy. “Why are you here?”
“Cassie, Sam is dying. Please go see him,” Ariel pleaded.”
Hearing Samuel’s name again was unexpected, especially in this situation. She glanced at Trevor before refusing. “Mrs. Nolan, I’m a married woman now. I don’t want my husband to misunderstand. If he’s dying, call a doctor. Take him to the hospital. Coming to me won’t help.” After that, Cassandra took Trevor’s hand and turned to leave.N
Thud! Ariel suddenly dropped to her knees, her voice hoarse from crying. “Cassie, we were wrong. Everything in the past was our fault, but Sam treated you well when you were little. Can’t you go see him one last time for the sake of that bond? Cassie, I’m begging you.”
Ariel didn’t care about pride or dignity. She bowed her head to the ground in desperation. “Back then, I was one of the people who forced you to kneel in the West Hill church. Now, I’ll return it to you. I’ll kneel as much as you want. Just please… see him one last time.”
Cassandra clenched her fists tightly, her emotions in turmoil. Trevor took her other hand, gently loosening her fingers. “Go see him.”
Twelve years of history, even if it had been worn away, there was still something left.
“You don’t mind? He was my ex–husband, after all.“W
Trevor said calmly, “You said it yourself. He’s your ex–husband. I trust you and I’ll go with you.”
