Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
After hanging up, Audrey absentmindedly roamed the streets like a walking dead.
The way Cornell looked at her kept haunting her mind.
Why was he so cold and distant all of a sudden?
Was it fun breaking her heart over and over again?
Did seeing her hurt bring a sense of satisfaction to him?
As Audrey drifted along the road, her thoughts were suddenly shattered by a “beep” behind her.
An electric scooter zoomed by. When Audrey dodged it, she happened to trick, which sent her stumbling.
The scooter’s rider did not even stop for a second and just muttering “bad luck” as he sped away.
Audrey looked at her scraped knees and elbows. She felt no pain, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Out of the blue, a handkerchief appeared before her eyes.
Audrey was stunned for a second. She looked up and saw a familiar face through her blurry eyes.
A cocktail of emotions flooded her. In a fit of anger, she stood up and kicked the man in front of her.
“I hate you! I hate you! How could you do this to me? You promised to be good to me! You’re a fucking liar, you bastard!”
In her emotional outburst, her cuts bled even more, staining the man’s clothes.
“Hold still,” the man commanded and scooped her up into his arms.
Audrey raised her head and focused her eyes on the man’s face. It took her a few seconds to realize she had mistaken him for Cornell.
After hitting Blair, Cornell turned around and was about to leave.
But before he could take a step forward, Cecilia quickly grabbed his arm with her right hand and leaned against him weakly. She said in a low voice, “Cornell, I’m dizzy.”
After what happened to Blair just now, the atmosphere around them became embarrassing.
Someone noticed Cecilia was leaning against Cornell, shouting, “Kiss!”
This sentence cheered up the crowd. The atmosphere became Lively again.
Everyone gathered around and chanted, “Kiss her! Kiss her!”
Cecilia was overjoyed at this. She was very happy that her plans had come to fruition.
Actually, her original purpose was to make the public believe some rumors. After all, she was the only one who had been deemed as Cornell’s girlfriend before. And this had brought great benefits to the Murray family.
And now, the crowd was helping her.
She thought Cornell didn’t have the heart to embarrass her.
He needed to pretend so she wouldn’t lose face.
So, she leaned her face closer to Cornell. But when she approached him, he frowned and turned his head away.
He said coldly in a firm tone, “Cecilia, enough is enough.”
When Cornell came here, he had no idea that Cecilia had held a birthday party. But he didn’t want her to lose face, so he didn’t expose her.
Cecilia bit her lower Lip and looked at Cornell aggrievedly. It was as if she had been badly hurt. She said pitifully, “Cornell, aren’t you even going to give me some face? So many people are watching us right now. Can’t you just pretend to kiss me?”
Cornell’s handsome face turned cold.
“Cecilia, don’t forget that I am a married man.”
His words were like a sharp knife that pierced Cecilia’s heart.
No one saw that she clenched her left fist so tightly that her fingernails dug deep into her palm.
It was Audrey, that bitch again!
Audrey was her major obstacle.
How could Cornell still see Audrey as his wife after he thought the latter cuckolded him?
She deserved to be Cornell’s wife more than Audrey. No! She was the only one who deserved to be Cornell’s wife.
Unfortunately, the cheers and chants of the crowd didn’t stop Cornell from leaving.
The atmosphere became awkward again.
But, of course, Cecilia couldn’t let the crowd know the truth. So, she forced a smile and explained, “Guys, Cornell has something urgent to deal with in his company. Let’s continue the party.”
The crowd didn’t make a fuss anymore. The lively atmosphere of the party returned.
But when Cecilia turned around in a corner where no one could see, a vicious expression appeared on her face.
She couldn’t help cursing Audrey inwardly.
She wanted Audrey to die at this moment.
As soon as Cornell came out, Matteo drove the car over, got out, and opened the door for Cornell.
In the car, Cornell took out the bottle of medicine and ate them without even counting.
When he saw that report, he felt like his head was about to explode from the pain.
It seemed a basin of cold water was poured on his head, completely destroying his sanity and calmness.
A violent emotion was boiling in Cornell’s heart. Since he had become a bit short-tempered, he was afraid he might do something he would regret if he came into contact with Audrey at this moment.
So, he decided to sleep now. And when he woke up and was sensible enough, he would figure out the right thing to do.
This was much better than making irrational decisions now.
The car had already driven a few hundred meters away when he suddenly said to Matteo in a cold voice, “Stop the car!”
Matteo quickly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car steadily.
Then he followed Cornell’s shadowy gaze, only to see two people hugging each other on the other side of the road.
But when he looked carefully, he realized they didn’t look like they were hugging each other. It was more like they were fighting.
The yellow streetlight shone on Cornell’s handsome face, making it look even colder. The corners of his mouth curved into a sarcastic smile. He punched the LCD monitor on the back of the chair. His knuckles began to bleed. But he didn’t seem to feel any pain.
The drug could no longer suppress the violence in his heart. He was about to explode.
But he tried his best to control himself. He said with difficulty, “Let’s go.”
The two people standing on the side of the road were Audrey and Hector.
Hector’s eyes were deep, and the rimless glasses he was wearing gave him an ascetic aura. This made people feel he was alienated.
After apologizing to him, Audrey took a half step back and left his arms.
But to her surprise, Hector held her wrist.
Then, he suddenly picked her up before she could react.
Audrey was so startled that she struggled hard.
“Hector, put me down.”
“You are injured. How can I let you walk? Let me take you to the car first.”
Hector didn’t allow Audrey to refuse. He carried her into the car, took a clean suit from the back seat, and put it on her.
Audrey smelled a fresh, minty fragrance on his clothes. It was a kind of scent that could calm people down.
She pursed her lips and thanked him. Hector didn’t say anything. He only nodded slightly in response.
Audrey also smelled a faint smell of alcohol in the car. Obviously, Hector had just drunk.
At this moment, Audrey’s phone vibrated.
It was a message from Nicole, asking if she was home.
Audrey didn’t want Nicole to worry about her, so she replied with a yes.
Then, Nicole forwarded Audrey a short video. When Audrey clicked it, it showed Cornell being teased to kiss Cecilia after they left.
