Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
For the longest time, she was always obedient to him. She said yes to his every whim. Was that why Cornell took her for a fool?
Tears streamed down Audrey’s face and there was nothing she could do to stop them.
She was so pathetic!
Audrey had reached her breaking point. If she didn’t let it all out now, she was surely going to lose her mind.
A trace of surprise appeared on Cornell’s handsome face as he glanced at Audrey.
“Are you jealous?” Cornell raised his tone deliberately as he spoke.
Meanwhile, Audrey lowered her eyes.
She was well aware that their marriage was ending soon. What right did she have to be jealous now?
After biting her lower lip hard, she replied angrily, “Of course not!
I’m just reminding you that our marriage hasn’t been annulled yet. So, you shouldn’t go too far. How would you like it if I found another man and slept…”
“Audrey!” Cornell interrupted Audrey with his piercing eyes.
His eyes suddenly darkened. When he leaned over, his faint scent wafted into Audrey’s nose.
“Hmm…”
Audrey was forced to swallow the words at the tip of her tongue.
Cornell had just kissed her out of the blue!
Her eyes widened in shock and her mind went blank.
“Audrey.” Cornell stopped the kiss abruptly and called out her name in a hoarse voice. It sounded like music to her ears and made her wet.
Audrey continued to gawk in a daze.
With his eyebrows raised, Cornell covered her eyes and said, “Hey, you need to blink.”
His lips stretched in a smile as he watched her face. Gosh, she looked so innocent and cute!
Cornell looked down at her bosom and imagined taking her here and now.
Without further ado, Cornell pinched Audrey’s chin and resumed the kiss.
He sucked and nibbled on Audrey’s delicate lips as if he was tasting some new delicacy.
Cornell was a great kisser. He kissed her so passionately, yet so rough. His kiss rid her of all her senses.
The air in the car became so hot in the blink of an eye.
The only thing holding the two of them back was the seatbelts.
Cornell leaned toward Audrey little by little while kissing her more aggressively.
A harsh nibble on her lips sent a warning signal to Audrey’s brain.
She reached out her hand to push him away.
But the attempt was in vain.
The kiss lasted for a long time. Just as she was on the brink of going out of breath, Cornell finally let go of her. He said in a tempting voice, “Now, are you going to talk nonsense again?”
The sight of her swollen and red lips made Cornell very satisfied.
He just showed her not to ever mention going to meet another man. In fact, the rough kiss was just the tip of the iceberg.
Audrey blinked several times. Her mind was still in a haze.
Why did Cornell kiss her again?
Even after signing the divorce agreement!
What was he up to?
Cornell reached out to wipe the tears from her flushed cheeks. His voice came out so gentle.
“Let’s get you home.”
Hearing that, Audrey turned her face away in disgust and even shifted away from him like he was some plague.
“Our marriage is about to end. Don’t do that again,” she warned solemnly.
As far as she was concerned, he had made his choice. He shouldn’t be kissing her anymore. What the hell did he have in mind? To make her his sidepiece?
Looking at her teary eyes, Cornell suddenly said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”
Audrey clenched her fists silently. Strangely, his apology only put more weight on her chest.
“ALL I want from you is your love. Since you can’t give me that, you should take your sympathy and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine!”
Audrey said in her head.
After a moment of silence, she spoke up calmly.
“Don’t take your grandfather’s words too seriously. As an adult, I have to be independent. You don’t have to look after me all the time like a child.”
Cornell frowned and said, “Audrey, even if we are no longer a couple, you’ll always be my family. I’ll continue to take care of you Like I always have.”
For some reason, his scent filled the air again.
Audrey knew that she had to stop thinking about him.
She couldn’t continue lying to herself.
If all Cornell could give her was his sympathy, then she didn’t want it.
Audrey said in a hoarse voice, “No need, but thanks. It’s best we cut all ties with each other after the divorce.”
She knew she would be signing up for emotional torture if she remained in touch with him after their marriage ended.
“Audrey…” Cornell began with a frown, but was interrupted by the sound of his ringtone.
“Let’s go. Your beloved is waiting for you,” Audrey urged calmly.
The rest of the ride was silent. As soon as the car pulled up in front of the apartment building in Crystal Bay, Audrey got out and walked away without Looking back.
There was no sound of restarting the engine even when she entered the apartment.
Audrey couldn’t figure out why Cornell was acting this way. Shouldn’t he be in a hurry to meet his first and only love?
Anyway, to hell with it! She was going to divorce him no matter what it was.
It was the only way she could save herself from a lifetime supply of heartbreak.
In other words, the sooner she got divorced, the better for her.
The next day, Audrey spent the whole day at home. On Sunday morning, she was asked out by Nicole.
The two friends wandered around on the streets for a while. Then, Nicole suggested they go to a spa. Afraid that some of the products would be harmful to the baby, Audrey opted out. She decided to go to a shopping mall nearby to kill time as she waited for Nicole.
When Audrey passed by a maternal and infant store, she saw an image of a baby on a large screen. The baby was so cute.
Audrey paused and stepped into the store involuntarily.
The shop assistant greeted her warmly and asked, “Good morning, miss.
What would you like me to help you with?”
“No, thanks. I’ll just take a look around first.”
Audrey had no makeup on now. Her eyes were so twinkly and her skin was popping. She looked like a college student, so the shop assistant thought Audrey had come here to get a gift for someone.
She smiled and said, “Well, this area is for the general products.
You can choose the products by yourself and put them in a basket.
The checkout counter is right over there which is very convenient with the machines. We will send you the books about pregnancy for free if you place an order today.”
After the brief introduction, the shop assistant bowed and walked away.
Audrey had a look at all kinds of clothes on the shelves. Most of the baby wears came in pink and blue.
