Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
But in the end, Audrey could no longer bear seeing Cornell like this.
She said slowly, “No, I didn’t sleep with Henley. He and I are not in a relationship.”
Before she could finish her words, Cornell pulled her into his arms.
“Hmm…'” She was about to say something, but her lips were suddenly sealed by his.
Cornell reached out, raised Audrey’s chin with his beautiful and slender fingers, and kissed her with his thin and sexy lips. The kiss started light, but it went deeper and deeper.
Audrey’s body trembled uncontrollably.
She felt her limbs got weaker and weaker. He still had this kind of impact on her, and she was ashamed.
She was still worried about Cornell’s injury. So, she put her hands on his shoulder, trying not to touch his wound.
The sudden kiss brought them closer together.
Cornell didn’t lose control. Before Audrey couldn’t take it anymore, he quickly let her go.
Audrey was so mad at him that she wanted to slap him in the face.
If only he wasn’t injured.
She tried hard to break free from his grip, but he held her even tighter.
“Cornell, what are you doing? Stop it!” Audrey felt like she had fallen into his trap.
“Do you want to go back on what you have promised me that night?”
They shouldn’t have anything to do with each other anymore after their divorce, right?
But why did he always get close to her? Worse was he still hugged and kissed her at will.
“Yes, I regret it,” Cornell replied without hesitation. It was as if Audrey was the one who broke the agreement.
“You…” Audrey got even angrier.
Cornell’s deep-set eyes were fixed on Audrey.
“If you are not pleased with it, you can get even with me by getting laid with me.”
Audrey was so dumbfounded that her jaw almost dropped.
Cornell continued in a deep voice, “That night, we made love three times. To compensate you, I will double it for you. What do you think?”
Audrey remained silent, so Cornell went on seriously, “From a businessman’s point of view, you’ve gained a lot of profits in this deal.”
Audrey was even more at a loss for words.
She never knew anyone else as shameless as Cornell.
He said those words in such a manner as if he was not ashamed of what he said, not even the slightest bit. And he didn’t blush at all when uttering those words.
Audrey was speechless for a while.
Then, she frowned and asked, “What the hell do you want?”
“I want to start anew with you.” As he spoke, Cornell stared at Audrey solemnly. His charming eyes shone brightly. It was as if the stars came down and moved in his eyes.
Audrey’s heart skipped a beat.
Cornell’s smile deepened.
“I hope you can give me another chance to get to know you.”
He didn’t say he wanted to reconcile with her. Instead, he said he wanted to know her.
It meant he wished to be with the current Audrey.
Indeed, they could only be together without estrangements if they both left those bad memories behind.
Mixed feelings filled Audrey. Some harm had already been done.
Ignoring them didn’t necessarily do her any good.
This was the obstacle she couldn’t get over with for now.
So, she shook her head.
“I think we are better this way.”
Obviously, Audrey meant she couldn’t accept Cornell now.
She didn’t want to experience those unnecessary sufferings again.
Cornell understood Audrey’s hesitation. He knew after everything that happened, it was not easy for her to accept him again. So, he didn’t press her.
“I won’t force you to accept me right now. I know it will take some time, and I am willing to wait. But I have a request.”
Audrey raised her head and looked at him. He continued, “Don’t keep avoiding me anymore.”
Audrey found it hard to resist being gazed at by his deep and charming eyes, so she lowered her head again and said, “If you don’t want me to avoid you, don’t force me to do something against my will.”
“Okay,” Cornell agreed without hesitation.
He could force her to stay by his side with tons of approaches. But he no longer wanted to hurt her even a bit.
Cornell didn’t want to make things difficult for Audrey anymore, so he patted the bed and said, “It’s late. Come and sleep now.”
Audrey shook her head.
“I’ll just sit here. I’m not sleepy yet. I’UL just lie down later if I feel tired.”
Actually, she only didn’t want to be on the same bed with Cornell.
She silently complained about the lack of an extra bed for the family in the VIP ward which cost thousands of dollars every day.
Just now, she went to the nurse station and asked whether she could rent a folding bed like other hospitals had equipped. However, this hospital didn’t provide such a service.
Audrey quietly cursed this hospital for its so-so service at a staggering price.
Seeing that Audrey remained in her seat, Cornell also sat on his bed and didn’t sleep.
Actually, it helped with the recovery of his wound if he lay still.
But he refused to lie down without Audrey lying by his side.
Audrey tried to coax Cornell to sleep but in vain. Cornell just took his laptop and started working on some business matters.
Audrey could only sigh helplessly, knowing he wouldn’t sleep if she didn’t go to bed and lie beside him.
Not wanting to give in yet, she played dumb by lowering her head and scrolling some feeds on her phone.
After almost half an hour, Audrey raised her head and glanced at Cornell. She saw the beads of sweat on his forehead. Apparently, it was because he had been sitting for too long.
Before she knew it, her heart had already softened.
Sometimes, Audrey hated herself for being too softhearted.
She sighed.
“Will you sleep if I go to bed with you?”
“OF course. We will sleep together,” Cornell replied with a charming smile.
Audrey stood up, took out a quilt from the closet, and laid it on the bed.
“I will share the bed with you, but let’s have an agreement first.
We will be in our own quilts. Don’t cross the line.”
Suddenly, Cornell regretted not asking the nurse to take the quilt away.
But it was already too late to regret it. So, he had no choice but to agree with Audrey.
When Nicole walked out of the hospital, she felt like her whole body had been drained of strength.
Her test results were already in her hands.
The painful truth was revealed in front of her. She had stomach cancer.
