Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
Just now, Audrey uploaded a photo of her and Janey in the amusement park. Actually, there were three people in the photo. Stefan was with Audrey and Janey.
When Matteo saw the photo, he was flustered. If Cornell found out about it, he wouldn’t be this calm.
Matteo didn’t want to tell Cornell yet. However, Cornell noticed the hesitation on Matteo’s face and questioned, “What’s going on?”
Matteo didn’t dare to defy Cornell. He said in a low voice, “Mr. Clement, Miss Foster and Janey are in the amusement park now.”
“How did you know?”
“Miss Foster just uploaded some photos on her social account.”
Cornell’s frown deepened. “Give me your phone.”
Matteo browsed through the photos and specially picked one with only Audrey and Janey on it before handing his phone to Cornell.
While staring at the photo, Cornell asked indifferently, “Why do you have Audrey’s account?”
Matteo broke out a cold sweat and replied, “I added her a long time ago.”
Cornell swiped his index finger, and the next photo appeared on the screen. This time, Stefan was with Audrey and Janey. Stefan carried Janey on his shoulder while standing next to a robot with Audrey.
Cornell’s handsome face darkened at once. He was still waiting for Audrey to invite him to the amusement park with them. It turned out that she had already gone there with Stefan.
Suddenly, Cornell ordered indifferently, “Get the car ready.”
“Mr. Clement, where are you going?” Matteo asked in confusion.
Cornell replied coldly, “To the amusement park.”
Laughter and joy permeated the air of the amusement park, creating an atmosphere of unbridled happiness.
As the parade was drawing to a close, Stefan gently hoisted Janey onto his shoulders, making sure they kept pace alongside the final float.
overshadow any of the unpleasant memories she had from her day at kindergarten.
Audrey, observing the pure happiness on her daughter’s face, couldn’t resist smiling sincerely herself.
The fading light of the evening cast a soft, glowing aura around Audrey, enhancing her natural beauty and giving her an almost otherworldly appearance.
Janey’s adorable charm, Stefan’s charismatic elegance, and Audrey’s stunning appearance collectively created an enchanting trio that captured the gaze of bystanders. Those passing by couldn’t resist admiring them with looks of amazement.
A foreign tourist approached them and politely asked, “Hello, may I take a photo of you three?”
Seeing Stefan’s surprised face, the tourist quickly explained, “You three look like the most beautiful family I’ve ever seen. It’s just too beautiful, how you all are together.”
“Actually, we’re not a couple,” Audrey clarified immediately.
“Wait… You’re not?”
“No, we’re not. He’s my friend, and I’ve always considered him like a brother,” said Audrey.
“Is that so?” the tourist said, sounding a bit disappointed. “Can I still take a photo of you?”
Stefan glanced at Audrey, whispering, “Is this alright?”
Stefan was honestly hoping to have a keepsake photo, but he was worried Audrey might feel awkward.
Audrey, seeing no issue with it, especially with Janey’s keen interest in taking photos, simply nodded and said, “Sure.”
The tourist then took a few steps back and began capturing them in a series of shots.
Shortly after, the tourist presented Audrey with a Polaroid that had just printed from his camera.
It turned out the tourist was a skilled photographer. The photos looked incredible.
The tourist then gave Stefan another photo a little later. After receiving the photo, Stefan heard the tourist say, “Buddy, surely you see her as more than just a friend?”
Puzzled by this remark, Stefan responded, “Excuse me?”
“Check out this photo,” the tourist said, passing the picture to Stefan.
The photo showed Audrey and Janey smiling at the camera, with Stefan looking affectionately at Audrey. Indeed, it beautifully captured that fleeting moment of affection.
The tourist remarked, “Your gaze toward her isn’t like that of a brother to a sister, but more like a man admiring a woman.”
Stefan, with a light laugh, replied, “I’m afraid you’ve got it wrong.”
“But eyes reveal the truth,” the tourist said, offering a knowing smile. “You’ll see what I mean once you acknowledge your true feelings.”
After the tourist walked away, Stefan studied the photo, pausing to reflect. He then smiled softly and slipped the photo into his pocket.
Not far away, Cornell had hurried over as soon as he finished his tasks, just in time to see the scene unfold. His expression darkened with jealousy.
While Audrey was preoccupied with Janey and Stefan with Audrey, none of them noticed Cornell’s intense gaze. It seemed as if the only thing in their world was each other.
For Cornell, this moment sparked an unprecedented feeling of urgency.
He had thought that all would be well once Audrey came back, willing to do whatever necessary for her happiness.
But having been confronted with this scene, he realized such acceptance was beyond him.
It dawned on him that this scenario would only lead to his own heartache.
Seeing Audrey in the arms of another was excruciating for Cornell, a torment far surpassing any other kind of suffering.
His eyes were fixed on Audrey’s figure, observing the trio that seemed to embody a perfect family unit. Each moment watching them made his heart ache more sharply.
Matteo, catching sight of Cornell’s darkening face, felt a wave of unease wash over him. “Mr. Clement, remember, we’re in a public space.
Please stay calm and not cause a scene,” he cautioned.
Cornell’s response was a tight frown, closing his lips firmly. He found Matteo’s reminder unnecessary. Self-control was already something that he planned to do. After all, with Janey present, the last thing Cornell wanted was to scare her.
The enchanting day at the amusement park drew to a close, marking the end of their whimsical escapades.
Janey, succumbing to her exhaustion, nestled against Stefan’s shoulder, drifting into a peaceful slumber.
People filling the exit, Stefan, with Janey cradled in his arms, trailed slightly ahead of Audrey, vigilantly navigating through the dispersing visitors to keep her safe from the hustle.
Upon reaching the parking lot, Annis relieved Stefan of his burden, taking Janey into her arms, while he went to retrieve the vehicle.
Annis watched Stefan’s protective demeanor toward Audrey, her eyes twinkling with amusement. “Stefan seems quite fond of you. His kindness and affection, particularly toward Janey, are apparent.
Maybe you should think about giving him a chance.”
Shaking her head, Audrey responded, “Annis, I believe you’re seeing something that isn’t there. Stefan and I are just friends.”
“Did I read it wrong?” Annis asked in confusion.
“Perhaps. Oh, look, the car’s arrived. let’s hop in.” Audrey graciously opened the car door, allowing Annis to enter first before they set off toward home.
Upon their arrival, Annis, ever the caretaker, whisked Janey inside, while Audrey lingered by the car to exchange farewells with Stefan.
As Stefan’s vehicle disappeared into the night, Audrey turned to enter the house.
That was when the sudden blaze of headlights cut through the darkness, arresting Audrey’s movement.
Out of the light emerged Cornell, his features etched with seriousness, advancing toward Audrey with determined strides.
Caught off guard, Audrey made a futile attempt to run indoors, only to be swiftly intercepted by Cornell. He grasped her wrist, halting her retreat.
And before Audrey could process the moment, Audrey found herself pulled into Cornell’s embrace.
“Let go of me!” Audrey cried out. She fought with all her might, utterly disgusted by his actions. She didn’t forget Katie’s words. In her eyes, a man with a fianc?e had no right to harass another woman.
It was unforgivable.
Audrey found Cornell repulsive, but Cornell’s strength made her struggles futile. Despite her best efforts, he remained unfazed.
Seeing that her struggles had no effect, Audrey resorted to kicking, biting, and punching his arms. She did everything she could just so she could escape.
However, Cornell acted as if he didn’t feel the pain, effortlessly lifting her into the car and securely locking the doors.
“Ma’am!” Victor emerged from the darkness, rushing toward the car, ready to shatter the window.
“Bang!” The window produced an ear-splitting sound.
If it had been an ordinary window, it would have shattered, but this car was equipped with bulletproof glass.
Victor raised her fist for a second strike, only to have her wrist grabbed by someone.
