Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
She underestimated his obsession and his wisdom.
How could he not investigate? How could she think he would just believe such an unreliable report?
This confrontation affected Audrey. She was in a bad mood the whole day.
Her mind was not working properly. All she could think of was about how to keep her baby.
Audrey sometimes felt that the world was really unfair.
Women gave birth to their children. But when they divorced, their children were taken away from them.
This thought made Audrey’s heart feel heavy. It was suffocating, and she could hardly breathe.
In the evening, Audrey felt so depressed that she had no appetite.
But for the sake of her baby, she forced herself to eat something.
Then she went to bed, hoping to fall asleep.
But after a while, she heard the door open. She opened her eyes, only to meet the eyes of the person who came in.
Audrey was surprised. She didn’t expect Cornell to come here tonight.
There were already two bodyguards guarding the door in the daytime.
Did he have to come to guard her in person in the evening?
Was he that afraid she would run away?
Anyway, forget it. She didn’t want to think too much about it. It did her no good. So, she just turned away and pretended not to see him.
Cornell frowned upon seeing her reaction.
Actually, he didn’t know why he came here.
Her reaction only made him feel very unwelcome.
Suddenly, anger surged in his heart.
He lifted the quilt and lay beside her on the bed.
Audrey’s whole body immediately froze. She asked in astonishment, “Cornell, what are you doing? Why are you in my bed?”
Cornell sneered, “What do you expect me to do? Do you think I will spend the whole night sitting by your bed?”
Audrey resisted in her heart. They had been having troubles and misunderstandings. Didn’t he feel awkward lying on the same bed with her?
In an instant, the bed was full of his fragrance. She subconsciously asked, “Did you take a shower?”
Cornell’s expression froze. Of course, he took a shower.
The bathtub in the ward was too small for him. He couldn’t take a bath there.
He moved closer to her, hugged her waist, and asked, “Why don’t you smell it yourself?”
Cornell was so close to Audrey that she could smell the refreshing scent of his shower gel.
She couldn’t help thinking he seemed born with fragrance. And this fragrance was unique to him.
It was as if it had penetrated his bones, making him smell good all the time.
When he spoke, his hot breath sprayed on her ear.
Audrey couldn’t help but be reminded of what they had done on the hospital bed before. Her face flushed, and her earlobes felt hot.
Embarrassed, she couldn’t help asking, “Can you move away a little?”
The bed was so big that it could accommodate even four people. But as soon as Cornell lay beside Audrey, she felt it was smaller than a baby’s bed.
“No,” Cornell refused without hesitation.
Audrey was rendered speechless.
She wanted to push him away. But she reminded herself to put up with him because they needed to discuss something.
“Cornell, tomorrow I want to…”
“I’ll go with you to visit your grandma,” Cornell interrupted as if he already knew what she wanted to say.
Audrey was stunned for a moment. How did he know what she wanted to say? Had he become a mind reader recently?
Indeed, she wanted to visit her grandmother’s grave because tomorrow would be the seventh day of her grandma’s death.
But he actually wanted to go with her.
At this moment, there was silence between them.
Then Cornell suddenly spoke.
“It is my fault not to see your grandma.
I didn’t expect her to die so soon. Otherwise, I would have returned immediately.”
Audrey was stunned again. She didn’t expect him to apologize.
But she didn’t feel anything this time. Instead, she once again understood what it meant to be disappointed.
Perhaps for Cornell, he felt that being able to tell her this already meant giving up his pride.
But unfortunately, he missed it. No matter how much he apologized, it could never bring back her grandmother’s life.
Even though he took revenge on those who had deliberately made trouble in her grandmother’s ward, including Tessa, things could no longer be changed.
What happened had happened. Nothing could be changed.
Her grandmother would never come back.
So, she replied softly, “It’s all over.”
Cornell knew that this matter was not over yet. It was still a thorn in her heart.
However, he believed that someday, he would erase the thorn in her heart.
At the thought of this, he hugged her even tighter, swearing to himself that he wouldn’t let her go, even if there would only be torture left in their Lives.
That night, Audrey had a sound sleep.
When she woke up the next day, she was already alone on the bed.
She got up, tidied herself, and prepared to leave the hospital. When she walked out of the door, she unexpectedly bumped into Cornell, who was coming in. She was unprepared, so she staggered.
Fortunately, Cornell reached out and held her in his arms in time.
He asked unhappily, “Why don’t you wait for me?”
Audrey thought he had left.
Then she noticed the food boxes in his hands. It seemed he went away to buy breakfast for her.
“Let’s eat first. We’ll leave after breakfast.”
After eating, Cornell took Audrey to his car.
Cornell fastened the seat belt for her, then turned to the driver’s seat. As soon as he sat down, his phone rang.
His phone was connected to the car monitor, so the caller’s name flashed on the screen. It was Jocelyn.
He answered it even with Audrey’s presence.
Then Jocelyn’s flustered voice came from the other end of the Line.
“Mr. Clement, something bad happened. Miss Murray… She fell down the stairs.”
Upon hearing the news, Cornell’s grip on the steering wheel tightened instantly. Anxiously, he inquired, “What happened?”
Jocelyn replied between sobs, gasping for air, “Cecilia stood up, felt lightheaded, and tumbled down the stairs.”
“Have you called for an ambulance?”
“Yes, it’s on the way.”
