Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
But he couldn’t say it directly at this moment.
After all, she didn’t even want to look at him.
Audrey felt like she was going crazy. Her head was about to explode.
She couldn’t stand it anymore, so she thought there was no need to endure it anymore.
She raised her head, met his eyes, and said word by word, “You are already engaged, but you still let me stay here. What will others think of me?”
Cornell was stunned. His grip on Audrey’s back loosened slightly.
Audrey stared at him and said loudly, “Cornell, I am not ungrateful.
I came to see you yesterday, but the bodyguards at the door didn’t let me in.
I waited almost the entire day. But when your father came, he told me not to appear in front of you. He said I was annoying.
He asked me if I wanted to be your mistress. I wasn’t given a chance to answer him yesterday. But now I will tell you. I will never be your mistress.”
Audrey could no longer hold back her tears.
She cried so hard that tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She continued between sobs, “Cornell, I will always be grateful to you for saving me. But now that you are engaged, I have clearly expressed my stand. So, please let me go.”
The crystal teardrops falling from Audrey’s bright eyes were like a sharp knife that pierced Cornell’s chest. His heart trembled as if he had been severely wounded. His heart shattered into pieces.
He pulled her to sit down and wiped her tears. Then, he said seriously, “Audrey, I never think about it that way. Never.”
Audrey struggled, but Cornell gently held her hand to stop her from breaking away.
“I only said those words because I was so angry. I thought you didn’t care about me. I am so sorry. As for what my father said, I don’t know about it. But don’t worry. I won’t let anyone call you like that again.”
Audrey couldn’t stop herself from crying. The tears that Cornell had just wiped off streamed down again. Her nose had already turned red.
The grievances had accumulated in her heart. She didn’t know how to voice them out. However, keeping them to herself was about to drive her crazy.
She didn’t want to cry too disgracefully in front of Cornell. She lowered her head and said, “Since you know it, just let me go. I care about you, so I will always pray for you.”
Although Cornell was distressed to see her crying, he couldn’t help but be amused by her words. He smiled and said, “I’m still alive.
You don’t need to pray for me.”
Audrey suddenly raised her head and glared at him. Her beautiful face was not only full of tears but also of anger.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
When Cornell saw her nervousness, his eyes Lit up.
“Well, yes, I’m talking nonsense.”
He held her hand tightly.
“If you really care about me, then stay with me. It’s not that I don’t have anyone to take care of me. But if you are here with me, I will recover faster.”
“No, I can’t.” Audrey turned her head away.
“If you understand my situation, you won’t make such a request. I don’t want to be accused of being a mistress.”
“You are not a mistress. You will never be.”
Cornell reached out and turned Audrey to face him. He said solemnly, “I am not engaged. It’s all my father’s wishful thinking. And I’ve already made it clear to the Benton family.”
Audrey’s eyes widened in shock. Mixed emotions surged in her heart.
Cornell and Eloise were not engaged! It was just his father’s wishful thinking. His father lied to her.
But the next second, she remembered the moaning she heard in Eloise’s tent. She felt unhappy again.
She looked at him coldly and asked angrily, “Aren’t you going to be responsible for Miss Benton?”
Cornell frowned in confusion.
“Why should I be?”
His indifference toward the topic annoyed Audrey.
She shook off his hand, glared at him, and said fiercely, “Scumbag!”
Audrey was in a sulk. She was not defending Eloise. She was angry at Cornell for sleeping with Eloise even though he didn’t intend to be with Eloise.
Wasn’t he an irresponsible scumbag?
At the thought of this, Audrey couldn’t sit still. She stood up in a fit, wanting to drink water to calm down.
But before she could stand firm, Cornell stretched out his arms, wrapped them around her slim waist, and pulled her back.
Audrey fell and sat on the edge of the bed with Cornell’s strong arms around her waist.
From afar, one could say that her whole figure was trapped in his arms in an intimate posture.
“Cornell!” Audrey shouted angrily. She wanted to get up from the bed, but she didn’t dare to act rashly because of his wound. Afraid of hurting him, she could only turn her head and glare at him.
“Yes?” Cornell looked at her. His deep-set black eyes were smiling.
“Let go of me.”
Audrey tried to pry off his arms but to no avail.
Cornell easily held her chin and pinched it.
“Explain to me what a scumbag means.”
Audrey bit her lower lip. Then she said, “A scumbag is a man who doesn’t want to be engaged to a woman but still… And that is you.
You are a scumbag.”
Audrey despised Cornell for playing with women.
Cornell frowned upon hearing her answer.
“What? I don’t understand.”
Audrey said vaguely, “That’s…”
“That’s what?”
Audrey crossed her fingers and said fiercely, “You do this!”
“Holding hands? No, I never held her hands,” Cornell explained, looking serious.
“No, I didn’t mean holding hands.”
“Then what?”
Cornell deliberately squeezed his slender and beautiful fingers into hers and asked, “What is this?”
Audrey’s face flushed and turned even redder than a ripe tomato.
Knowing that she was blushing, she turned her face away to hide it.
She murmured through clenched teeth, “You are a rogue.”
Cornell smiled and teased her for a moment. Then he became serious and explained, “I have never done anything with her. How did you come to such a conclusion?”
Audrey blinked a few times. She asked in astonishment, “You haven’t?”
Cornell nodded.
“Never in my life.”
He led her hand to his crotch and said in a hoarse voice, “If you don’t believe me, you can check…”
Audrey’s fingertips brushed his crotch lightly, and it seemed to harden.
Audrey jerked away as if she was burned and snapped, “Cornell, what’s wrong with you?”
Cornell raised his eyebrows.
“Be thankful that I am injured.
