Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
Audrey’s beautiful almond eyes were tinged with a faint sadness.
“It pains me to say this, but I’m afraid that won’t do.”
Luciana’s heart sank.
“Audrey, have you already made up your mind? As Cornell’s mother, I know that he might look very indifferent, but deep down in his heart, he cares about you.”
Hearing that, those that happened in the past few days flashed through Audrey’s mind. She felt that Cornell probably had a Little bit of feelings for her.
But that was pointless now.
Cecilia’s return made Audrey realized something.
She wished to save herself from being humiliated more than ever before.
Even if Cornell indeed had feelings for her, it must be nowhere near what he felt for Cecilia. Maybe what he felt for her was nothing but lust.
She couldn’t bear any suffering Cecilia inflicted on her anymore and the thought that Cornell cherished Cecilia tortured her every single passing second.
With a bitter smile, Audrey said, “Luciana, to be honest, I am just an ordinary woman. I just want to be loved.”
All she wanted was for Cornell to be faithful to her and love her wholeheartedly.
She wanted him to stick by her side like every good husband would.
Audrey was so straightforward that Luciana didn’t know what to say anymore.
Cornell probably hadn’t realized how precious Audrey meant to him at the moment.
Luciana actually had a ton of excuses to prevent them from getting divorced. But now that Audrey had opened up to her, she didn’t have the heart to make such a sweet girl suffer the same thing she did in the past.
She patted the back of Audrey’s hand and said gently, “I feel your pain. It must be tough for you. I apologize on Cornell’s behalf for not taking care of your feelings.”
“You don’t have to apologize. He didn’t do anything wrong to me.”
Love wasn’t a crime. Yet, it hurt that she wasn’t the one he loved.
But she couldn’t demonize him because of that.
Luciana’s eyes turned red.
“It’s not in my place to tell you not to divorce him. The ball is in your court, Audrey.”
Audrey took off the bracelet Luciana gave her a while back and handed it to Luciana.
“Thanks for your kindness. I’m afraid I can’t be your daughter-in-law anymore.”
Instead of taking it, Luciana put the bracelet back on Audrey’s wrist and said affectionately, “I didn’t give this to you just because you were my daughter-in-law. Even if you are not my daughter-in-law anymore, I will still treat you as my child. Do you plan to cut ties with our family after the divorce? Will you stay away from me and Kyler since the divorce?”
Luciana’s words seemed to hit the nail on the head.
Remembering how Luciana and Kyler had been so good to her, Reagan’s heart ached like hell.
She couldn’t help but burst into tears while holding Luciana tightly.
She felt lucky to have such a sweet mother-in-law.
She also cried for her lasting love for all these years…
After a long time, Audrey wiped her tears and said sincerely, “Thank you for your understanding, Luciana!”
Luciana patted her on the back and said, “Audrey, I’m still your family even after the divorce. Keep that in mind, okay?”
Audrey was about to say something.
Suddenly, they heard a knock from behind.
Kyler appeared while hitting his walking stick on the ground.
“What’s this I’m hearing? Who is getting divorced?”
Audrey was taken aback.
Luciana was even more flustered. She walked over and reached out to hold Kyler’s arm.
“It’s nothing. Audrey and I were just having a chit-chat.”
Kyler shook off her hand and scolded, “Don’t try to fool me. Do you think my brain isn’t working anymore just because I’m old?”
“Kyler, it’s not like that…” Audrey’s heart trembled and thought about how to explain it to Kyler.
Fury was written all over Kyler’s face. His eyes beamed as he growled, “I won’t listen to you. I want that brat to explain what’s going on!”
Soon, Cornell was summoned.
Kyler cut to the chase.
“You want to divorce her?”
Cornell’s lips thinned into a grim line. His silence showed his answer.
Taking the hint, Kyler’s face darkened further.
“So, it’s true?”
Cornell knelt down in front of Kyler all of a sudden.
No one had expected this to happen.
Audrey clenched her fists and lowered her eyes with disappointment.
In her opinion, Cornell was only doing this because of Cecilia. He swallowed his pride for that woman.
It was not difficult to see things through, but still, it was so painful to admit it.
As much as she tried to fight it, she still had feelings for Cornell.
It made her feel downhearted at this moment.
Cornell’s move made Kyler even angrier. He raised his walking stick and pointed at Cornell, “You… You! How dare you!”
Thump !
In the blink of an eye, the walking stick slipped from Kyler’s hand.
Then, Kyler fell to the floor. Seeing this, Cornell strode forward and held him, asking the butler to get the car ready.
“Kyler!” Audrey and Luciana also rushed over, panicking.
A ruckus broke out within seconds.
Cornell drove Kyler to the hospital in his car while Luciana and Audrey followed behind in another car.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, a series of doctors and nurses immediately wheeled Kyler into the emergency room.
Though Luciana was tough and strong, her concerns for Kyler had drained her of strength, and her legs were so weak that she couldn’t stand by herself.
Audrey was also anxious and sad. If anything happened to Kyler, she would live with the guilt for the rest of her life.
In the corridor, everyone anxiously waited in silence. They all had their eyes on the door of the emergency room.
Finally, the doctor came out, pulling off gloves.
Luciana was the first to rush up to the doctor.
“Doctor, how is he?”
“There’s no cause for alarm. The patient will be fine. However, due to his condition, I advise that you desist from troubling him emotionally. We might not be Lucky next time.”
Luciana held her chest and collapsed to the floor while murmuring, “Thank God.”
Cornell asked the bodyguards to take his mother away to get some rest. Then, he walked to Kyler’s ward with Audrey on his heels.
At the door, Cornell stopped abruptly and said coldly, “Mind your words, okay?”
His tone was sort of accusatory.
It left Audrey stunned. However, she soon brushed it aside and thought he was just worried about his grandfather. She nodded stiffly.
The sight of Kyler lying on the bed in a hospital gown greeted them as soon as they walked in.
