Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
Arrogant as she ever was, she firmly supposed Cornell would give in when she threatened him with her life. After all, he still thought she was the one who had saved him years ago.
Cornell wouldn’t just stand there and watch if she refused to have the surgery, right?
But the next second, she knew she was wrong.
Cornell stopped in his tracks and turned to face her.
“You only live once, Cecilia. I won’t force you to do what you don’t want. But just so you know, with this surgery, my responsibility of taking care of you ends.”
In other words, whether she had the surgery or not, his decision would not change.
“What?” Cecilia uttered in shock, her face ghastly pale.
She gazed up at him and stared at the man bathed in moonlight. His good looks were the same, but the warmth she had come to expect was gone.
He was a stranger to her now.
Without another word, Cornell turned and strode away.
“No… No!” Cecilia cried hysterically.
Unhinged and bordering on madness, she muttered to herself, “This can’t be. Cornell won’t do this to me. He loves me. It’s all because of that wretched Audrey and the baby in her belly!”
With this thought in mind, her eyes darkened with malice, and she clenched her fingers so tightly they drew blood.
It must be that Audrey and her baby! How Cecilia wished she could skin them all!
Beep. Suddenly, her phone on the table buzzed to life.
Cecilia crawled over and picked it up. She did not even wait for the person on the other end to speak and went straight to the point.
“Change of plan. Show no mercy.”
After disconnecting the call, a malicious grin stretched across her face.
Cecilia swore to herself that Cornell could only be hers and hers alone. That bitch Audrey… Her days were numbered!
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Audrey found herself confined to her ward, trailed by attendants wherever she went. The constant supervision made her lose interest in leaving her room, so she went to bed early.
She usually shut off the air conditioner before bed. However, the room seemed colder than usual, so she opted not to.
In the dead of night, she sensed what felt like a warm “furnace” next to her. It was warm and comfortable. In addition, it even had a pleasant scent.
She turned over, snuggled close to this furnace, and fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Cornell froze and tried his best not to move a muscle.
But Audrey was restless. Her hands roved here and there, igniting a fire within him.
There was nothing he could do but grasp her wandering hand to keep her from touching him in places she should not.
But the next moment, she accidentally nuzzled her lips against his Adam’s apple.
Her soft lips brushed against his most sensitive area, and he tensed up almost instantly.
That was the last place that she should touch because it made him turn on immediately.
A cold sweat broke out on Cornell’s forehead, and he almost lost control.
The temptation to give in to desire was overwhelming. Thankfully, he still had some self-restraint left.
Well, Audrey was pregnant and could not have sex very often.
If he woke her now, who knows how long she would be up? He could not let her lose sleep.
Although begrudgingly, he waited out the temptation and did not succumb to slumber until the first rays of dawn crept through the window.
As the room brightened, Audrey stretched lazily and enjoyed the feel of the “furnace” beside her.
But the next second, she realized that something was wrong. She sensed muscles.
She jolted awake, turned around, and found herself enveloped in Cornell’s arms.
What on earth?
Audrey jumped up and kicked Cornell, who was asleep, right off the bed.
Cornell landed on the floor with a heavy thud.
A man’s morning mood was particularly erratic, especially after being touched all night long by the woman he was attracted to. Needless to say, he had not slept well.
Cornell sprang back onto the bed in a flash, pinning her arms down, and smiled slyly.
“Audrey, I think you need to be taught a lesson.”
Audrey was pinned down by Cornell, unable to move.
Anger welled up inside Audrey when she realized that he’d gone to see Cecilia. Again! To vent her anger, she suddenly lifted her head and bit him just as his lips touched hers.
The bite was so hard that his lip bled within seconds.
Cornell froze. After staring at her for a second, he let out a subtle laugh.
Audrey drew her brows together in confusion. Was he mad or amused?
At this moment, Cornell’s eyebrows arched. The soft light cast a hazy glow on his exquisitely refined face. With the streaks of blood on his Lips, he exuded a mesmerizing and seductive charm that she had only seen in movies.
Realizing that he was slowly pulling her in, Audrey instinctively turned her head away.
Audrey yelled to herself silently, “Don’t let that face fool you, Audrey! This man surely uses his face to bewitch you before you realize it!”
“Why are you upset?” Cornell asked out of the blue.
“Who says I’m upset? I am not!” Audrey was irritated by his presence.
Cornell gently bumped his nose against hers. Although it didn’t hurt, it was incredibly suggestive.
“Bear with me. I’ll send Cecilia away in three days,” he said.
“Whatever.”
Audrey rolled her eyes, showing no signs of happiness. She took his words with a pinch of salt.
ALL she had in her mind to say to him was, “Do you even believe a word that comes out of your own mouth? Why do you think I would?”
Her nonchalance made Cornell feel a dull pain in his heart. He had come here purposely to please her, but she didn’t even notice his efforts, let alone appreciate them.
“I’m dead serious this time. As soon as she leaves, we can live happily just Like newlyweds.”
Audrey’s eyelashes quivered slightly.
She had heard this line numerous times before.
This wasn’t the first time he had made this promise. And each time, he broke it and caused her more pain.
She was sick and tired of it. This man couldn’t be trusted.
Oblivious to her thoughts, Cornell lowered his head and gently kissed her eyes, but she turned away before he could go further.
He didn’t force her. With his hand on her waist, he said softly, “Stay a Little longer with me.”
Action spoke louder than words. He assumed all he had to do now was to walk the talk to show that he meant business.
Audrey refused, “No. Go sleep somewhere else.”
He lowered his head, lightly nibbled on her earlobe, and whispered, “But I want to sleep with you, honey.”
These ambiguous words made Audrey feel more trapped than she already was. She shot him a resentful glare.
“What?” Cornell chuckled, raising a brow.
“Do you want to gobble me up so bad?
“In your dreams. Let me go!” Audrey tried to move, feeling uncomfortable in his embrace.
Cornell suddenly let out a muffled grunt, followed by a low warning through clenched teeth.
“If you don’t want to sleep with me, don’t arouse me.”
Audrey lay still right away, fearing what he would do if she continued moving.
