Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
Suddenly, Cornell stopped dead in his tracks.
Tessa’s cousin-in-law?
A smile crept into his face. The depression that plagued his heart all afternoon was knocked out by happiness in a trice.
“Audrey.” Cornell raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Audrey amusingly, and asked, “Did you say that?”
“Yes, I did.”
Regret filled Audrey’s heart. She bit her tongue. Damn it!
When Audrey saw the amused look on Cornell’s face, she braced herself up to be humiliated big time.
Cornell and she were about to get divorced. Cecilia was all that Cornell cared about, so there was no way Cornell wouldn’t deny her now.
“See? Cornell, she has admitted..
Suddenly, Tessa stopped speaking. Her eyes widened when she saw Cornell take off his suit jacket and put it on Audrey’s shoulders.
Audrey was just as shocked as Tessa was. Instead of frowning at her as she expected, Cornell was smiling contentedly.
Tessa rubbed her eyes. This has got to be an illusion!
Audrey was tall for a woman. Nonetheless, Cornell’s jacket was way too big for her. She was soaked by the juice which made her figure visible under the clothes.
When Cornell found that his eyes were wandering, he looked away and then fastened the button of the jacket for her.
His fingers were slender and beautiful, and his movement was skilled and ambiguous. Audrey’s ears flushed and her heart was beating Like a large drum.
“Cornell!” An inappropriate scream broke the silence.
With her eyes bulging from the sockets, Tessa yelled, “This whore is trying to seduce you! Don’t fall for it!”
Hearing that, Cornell turned around and ordered the security guards, “Throw her out.”
Tessa couldn’t believe her ears. Throw who out? Her? Cornell wanted to throw her out?
“Cornell, there must be something wrong, right?”
Tessa was still in disbelief. She thought Cornell meant to drive Audrey out, not her.
The two security guards held a grudge against Tessa, so this order came at the perfect time. They both stood on each side.
“Ms. Lloyd, this way, please!”
“Get your filthy hands off me!” Tessa shook off their hands and looked at Cornell in disbelief.
“Cornell, how could you do this for me? You are throwing me out because of this bitch?”
Her shout only made Cornell angrier. His eyes were shooting lasers.
Cornell snapped at the security guards, “What are you waiting for?”
Hearing this, they grabbed Tessa by her arms and dragged her out.
Tessa kicked and screamed hysterically, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t break free.
“Stop right there!”
Suddenly, a rebuke came from upstairs. Everyone looked up and saw Kenia Lloyd, Tessa’s mother. Kenia rushed downstairs and kicked one of the guards.
“Are you blind? How dare you treat my daughter Like this!”
As soon as Tessa saw her mother, Tessa cried even harder, “Mommy, it’s all that bitch’s fault!”
Kenia turned to look at Audrey. She had heard of how this young woman saved Kyler’s life once and had stuck around him since then.
Kyler came downstairs shortly after. When he saw the mess, he hit his walking stick on the marble floor.
The second Kenia noticed his presence, she put on a pitiful mask and complained, “Kyler, please intervene on our behalf. This outsider came in here and treated my daughter badly. You must punish her for Tessa’s sake!”
After saying that, Kenia pinched Tessa. Tessa took the hint immediately. She wailed so loud that she almost went out of breath.
“Save your tears!”
Cornell’s face was menacing, which shut Tessa up real quick.
The silence that dropped now was deafening.
When Kenia realized that this wasn’t going her way, she turned to Cornell.
“Cornell, Tessa is your cousin. How could you help an outsider to bully her?”
“What happened?” Kyler’s gruff voice was heard at this time.
Cornell said briefly, “Tessa splashed juice on Audrey.”
It wasn’t until then that Kyler noticed Audrey’s disheveled look. A yellow liquid was dripping from her hair. His face instantly darkened.
Oblivious to the change in Kyler’s expression, Kenia continued to defend Tessa.
“Serves her right! She must have done something to offend Tessa!”
“That’s right! This bitch crossed the line!” Tessa echoed.
Cornell shot Tessa a searing glare. Seeing this, she ran to hide behind her mother.
Before Cornell could lose his cool, Kyler pointed his walking stick at Kenia and Tessa and bellowed, “You! And you, get out of here, right now!”
Kyler was breathing fire. His hand trembled as he frowned at them.
Their presence here disgusted him. How dare they bully Audrey!
He hit the floor again and declared, “From today onwards, you must never step foot into this house!”
Kenia couldn’t believe her ears. After all, Kyler was always so kind to his descendants. He never raised his voice at anyone, let alone made such a declaration.
At this moment, Kenia realized that she had made a very big mistake.
She was about to kneel and beg for mercy. However, the security guards dragged her roughly.
In no time, Kenia and Tessa were thrown out of the mansion like bags of trash.
Peace returned to the house again.
Kyler walked toward Audrey and said, “Sorry about that, Audrey.”
“I’m fine.”
“You should go get changed so you won’t catch a cold.”
Kyler had reserved a room for Audrey and even stocked up the closet with new clothes.
After getting changed, Audrey returned downstairs to have dinner with Kyler.
She and Cornell were sitting side by side at the table. When Audrey’s favorite beef stir-fry was served, Cornell put some on her plate.
This kind gesture went unnoticed by Audrey. Her mind was somewhere else.
She kept thinking of when Tessa told her Cornell had gone to see Cecilia.
Why didn’t he bring her with him? Could it be that Tessa was just lying?
Something occurred to Audrey at this moment. Judging by how ill Cecilia reportedly was, maybe she wasn’t strong enough to be out of the hospital now.
That seemed like a logical reason. However, she felt that Cornell was acting strange. He didn’t seem to mind that she told Tessa about their marriage.
Audrey assumed that she was probably thinking too much. Since Tessa was close to Cecilia, it was only a matter of time before Tessa found out. Perhaps that was why Cornell didn’t give her hell.
While she was still lost in thought, Audrey suddenly felt a pinch on her thigh.
“Ouch!” She couldn’t help but scream out.
To her surprise, she looked at Cornell, only to find him sipping his soup as if he did nothing.
What was this man doing? Was he out of his mind?
Audrey’s head buzzed, and her heart beat faster and faster.
“What’s the matter, Audrey?” Kyler stopped eating and asked with concern.
