Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
He asked, “Is this how you fight for a divorce?”
Audrey remained silent. Cornell smiled coldly and added, “Do you think asking my mother to come here will make me change my mind?
Honey, you’re so naive. I won’t compromise even in front of her. As I have said, I won’t divorce you.”
Audrey thought for a while. Then she asked seriously, “If Luciana couldn’t change your mind, what about Kyler?”
Her words exhausted the last bit of Cornell’s patience.
Was Audrey really willing to ignore Kyler’s health condition as long as she could divorce him?
At the thought of this, he said in a domineering manner, “Audrey, do you think you can get a chance to see my grandpa now’
At this moment, the noise outside the door stopped. Cornell thought Luciana must have been forcibly sent away by Matteo.
Audrey replied indifferently, “As long as I am still alive, I can always find a way to see Kyler, right?”
She knew that fighting for the divorce wouldn’t go smoothly. The process was likely to be a long haul, so she had already prepared for it.
Cornell looked at Audrey expressionlessly. His eyes turned red, and he sneered, “Do you really think you can threaten me?”
Audrey didn’t answer it. Instead, she said coldly, “You can leave now.
I’m tired, and I want to sleep.”
She looked at Cornell as if he was a stranger. And the way she treated him hurt Cornell deeply.
Cornell knew Audrey was determined to get a divorce. Yet, the thought of seeing her run into another man’s arms drove him nuts, let alone letting it come true.
There was no way he would agree to it.
Audrey wanted to sleep to recuperate before she came up with another solution for the divorce.
But Cornell suddenly leaned over and pulled her in front of him.
Then he lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
Audrey didn’t struggle. She acted like an inanimate object, allowing Cornell to do whatever he wanted.
Cornell’s tongue moved, trying to pry Audrey’s mouth open. But she was like a hard and cold statue. He looked at her, and he froze when he saw her emotionless face.
He let go of her. It was only then that Audrey said indifferently, “Mr. Clement, it seems you are still obsessed with my body. As long as you agree to divorce, I can cooperate with you for once. You can take it as a divorce gift.”
Cornell felt humiliated. He didn’t expect that Audrey would regard what he had done as a bargaining chip for divorce.
His handsome face tensed, and his patience seemed to run out.
“”Audrey…”
He tried hard to suppress his anger and asked word by word, “What can I do for you to forgive me?”
Audrey didn’t want to mention the divorce anymore, so she just said lazily, “You know exactly what I want.”
Cornell said firmly, “I can do anything for you except the divorce.”
“Then, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life,” Audrey replied resolutely. If he could disappear from her world, she might gradually forget about him.
As what they said, out of sight, out of mind.
For a moment, Cornell felt like an invisible hand was clenching his heart so tightly that he could hardly breathe.
His face turned cold. He paused and said slowly, “In that case, just hold a grudge against me.”
After saying this, he strode away as if he was afraid of hearing more harsh words from Audrey.
Cornell thought that if he kept a distance from Audrey, she might gradually give up the idea of divorcing him.
But that night, something unexpected happened.
At two in the morning, while Cornell was still keeping himself busy with work, the nurse from the hospital called him.
“Mr. Clement, Miss Warburton is missing.”
After hanging up the phone, Cornell rushed to the hospital with Matteo. And the first thing Matteo did when they arrived was check the surveillance video.
They saw in the video that Audrey came out of her ward at half past one in the morning when the nurse was taking a nap.
Wearing a white dress, Audrey entered the elevator barefoot. But the surveillance camera showed she didn’t leave the hospital.
The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor.
Matteo suddenly said with a solemn expression, “Mr. Clement, it’s the top floor.”
Cornell’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this. He strode out of the monitoring room without saying anything.
It was a cold, dark night. On the top floor, Audrey sat on a concrete pier.
Her seaweed hair hung loosely on her shoulders, and her white dress swayed in the wind, making her look even thinner. She looked as fragile as a crystal that could break at any moment.
When Cornell saw this scene, his face turned pale. Panic immediately surged in his heart.
“Audrey…”” he called out cautiously. It was as if he was afraid his voice would break her.
Audrey didn’t move. It seemed she didn’t hear anything. She raised her head and stared at the dark night sky.
“What are you looking at?” Cornell asked in a low voice, staring at her and approaching her slowly.
Audrey didn’t seem to notice what he was doing. But she answered, “My baby…”
Cornell stopped in his tracks. Then, he saw Audrey raise her arm, point at the sky, and say, “My baby just came to say goodbye to me and went there.”
Suddenly, Cornell felt like a giant hammer fell from the sky and hit his heart hard.
The color drained from his face when he heard this. His hands unconsciously trembled.
After a long time, he finally said with difficulty, “Can you get down first?”
Still, Audrey didn’t move. She asked slightly, “Cornell, can you let me go?”
Cornell’s palms were sweating profusely. He was so nervous now. He said in a forbearing tone, “Let’s talk about it after you go down, okay?”
When Audrey looked at his face, she knew she was halfway to success.
Actually, she wanted to make him believe that she would commit suicide. Then, he would agree to the divorce.
Of course, she wouldn’t risk her life. After all, she promised her grandmother that she would live a good life. She would never break her promise.
And the first step to living a good life was to leave Cornell.
She must never let hatred take control of her Life.
Though Audrey said to Cornell that she would ask Kyler for help on their divorce, she didn’t want Kyler to know her baby was gone.
Kyler cherished her. He was the one who gave her warmth. She didn’t have the heart to make him sad.
“Cornell, let’s break up peacefully,” Audrey said, staring at Cornell.
At this moment, she only had one thing on her mind. And that was, loving him for ten years was one of the worst things she had ever done.
She wasted ten years of her life, and she regretted it very much.
The entire rooftop was pitch-black under the moonless sky. Only Audrey’s small face shone.
Cornell was reminded of the first time he saw her. At that time, he thought her eyes were very beautiful. They were as bright as the newborn baby, without any impurities.
Now, her beautiful eyes were still bright. However, they were emotionless.
Why did this happen?
Why did she have to suffer like this?
Heartache, panic, regret, and all kinds of emotions instantly filled Cornell’s chest.
He could hardly breathe. It was as if a giant boulder pressed his heart.
Could he really let her go?
This time, he heard himself begging in a low voice, “Audrey, I assure you that Cecilia won’t disturb us again. She is totally out of our lives. Please give me a chance. I will treat you well. I will do everything to bring back the way we used to be…”
Before he could finish his words, Audrey interrupted, “Can you bring my baby back?”
