Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
But before she could even touch Audrey, she was kicked out of the door with a bang.
Cornell didn’t want to even spare a glance at Kenia and Tessa. He ordered in disgust, “Drag them out of here. If they dare to show up again, throw them into the river directly.”
Now that Kenia and Tessa were driven out, the church finally regained its peace.
Cornell knelt in front of Audrey’s grandmother’s portrait and kowtowed three times.
After paying homage to Audrey’s grandmother, he walked up to Audrey.
His heart was filled with regret and remorse when he looked at her face as pale as a sheet.
He felt like a giant fist punched his heart. And his agony didn’t seem to stop.
She called him and begged him to come back to see her grandmother for the last time. But what did he say?
He called her mischievous, childish, and vicious. He even told her to calm herself down.
When Audrey was desperate for help, he was too cold-hearted to refuse her request. He even used those harsh words to scold her.
He let her grandmother pass away with regrets. He was such a jerk!
ALL he could say now was, “Audrey… I’m sorry…”
Cornell knelt beside Audrey with regret and pity in his eyes. He reached out, wanting to hold her hand.
However, Audrey brushed off his hand coldly.
At this moment, her eyes were red and swollen. Her long hair was disheveled, and her mourning dress was wrinkled. She didn’t look decent at all.
But Audrey couldn’t care less. She didn’t care about anything now.
After all, her heart had died.
She no longer cared about other people’s opinions.
Audrey looked at Cornell indifferently and said coldly, “Mr. Clement, you may leave now.”
Cornell’s heart sank to the bottom upon hearing this.
She called him Mr. Clement.
Before he went abroad for his business trip, she wrapped her arms around his neck, looked at him with bright eyes, and called him honey.
And the way she said it was so sweet that it melted his heart.
From that moment on, he wished to spend the rest of his life with her.
But what happened now? Why was her tone very indifferent? She sounded like once he left the church, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other anymore.
Upon realizing this, Cornell’s handsome face turned pale. Bitterness immediately filled his eyes. But he still wanted to explain, “Audrey, I know you are angry with me. But… I didn’t know if what you said was true…”
But before he could finish his words, Audrey interrupted him coldly, “Mr. Clement, do you want me to call the police?”
Cornell was in disbelief. How could she be this ruthless? But his heart also panicked.
He knew he couldn’t lose her. He couldn’t afford to lose her.
Not wanting to give up, he reached out, wanting to hold her again.
“Audrey, I’m sorry…”
However, his repentance was too late. Audrey was not moved at all.
She even shouted in his face, “Get out of my face!”
Luciana also hated the fact that Audrey couldn’t forgive Cornell. She wanted to help her son. But she knew that it wouldn’t do him any good if he continued to stay here. His presence would only infuriate Audrey even more.
So she raised his fist, punched Cornell on the back, and ordered coldly, “Get out and kneel outside!”
When Cornell looked at Audrey, Audrey’s eyes were empty and red.
Actually, she had been trying hard to hold back her tears. She didn’t even look at him.
Luciana noticed that Cornell remained motionless. Obviously, he was unwilling to leave. Luciana had no choice but to drag him out of the church and let him kneel at the entrance.
Cornell rarely looked gaunt. When Luciana saw him look like this now, she couldn’t help scolding, “You just reaped what you sowed. Kneel here and wait until Audrey cools off.”
Cornell lowered his head. He didn’t say anything.
Not long after, the rain began to fall outside. And it got heavier.
Cornell was kneeling at the side door of the church. The rain had drenched his expensive suit, but he didn’t mind. He still knelt there, no matter how cold he was. People who saw him thought he was repenting sincerely.
When Audrey raised her head, she saw Cornell in this miserable situation.
If this were in the past, her heart would have already softened, and she would have chosen to forgive him. But now, it was different. She ignored his presence this time.
It turned out that this was how it felt when a person’s love for someone gradually dissipated. She had no feelings for him anymore.
When she looked at him, she was calm, as if she was watching a stranger.
In the afternoon, Hector came to the church. Audrey was surprised as she didn’t expect his presence.
Hector walked past Cornell without even looking at him.
Hector stood in front of the portrait, put down the funeral bouquet, and bowed down solemnly.
Then he walked to Audrey.
At the thought that Hector had helped her several times, Audrey would like to thank him. But she moved so abruptly that she felt dizzy.
Fortunately, Hector was agile enough to catch her in time. She managed to regain her balance.
Cornell saw all this, and it made him feel uncomfortable. For him, their interaction was an eyesore.
And he also wondered how Audrey and Hector knew each other.
Hector didn’t stay long. After paying homage to Audrey’s grandmother and talking with Audrey for a moment, he said goodbye to her and left.
But when he reached the entrance, Cornell called, “Hector…”
Hector stopped, turned his head, and looked at Cornell expressionlessly.
Cornell pulled a long face.
“Audrey is my wife, you know.”
There was an obvious warning in his voice. But as he spoke, he stared at Hector as if trying to figure out Hector’s purpose for coming here.
After all, Hector was his uncle.
Others thought Hector hadn’t married yet because he hadn’t had enough fun.
But Cornell knew that Hector was only pretending. The truth was Hector had someone in his heart.
In fact, Hector even went against Kyler for this woman.
However, Cornell knew that woman had nothing to do with Audrey. He heard that the woman was the daughter of an eminent family.
So, at this moment, he was not sure about Hector’s intention in getting close to Audrey.
Hector replied calmly, “Yes, I know that she is your wife. But only for the time being.”
For the time being? These words could have different meanings. Upon hearing this, Cornell’s face suddenly turned ghastly pale.
After saying this, Hector turned around and left. He didn’t want to talk to Cornell anymore.
Cornell could only watch Hector’s receding back, clenching his fists tightly.
Soon, the night fell, and it was time for dinner.
Audrey only had a sip of water to moisten her lips. Other than that, she didn’t eat anything.
Cornell saw this from the door. He wanted to get up and persuade Audrey to get some food. But he realized that he was not in the position to do so.
In the evening, Audrey stayed in the church. She didn’t intend to sleep.
This was the last night she could be with her grandmother because her grandmother would be buried in the graveyard tomorrow morning.
It was still raining outside, and Cornell was kneeling at the door.
