Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
It was as if everything continued from where they had left off last night.
Audrey secretly clenched her fists tightly. Then she said coldly, “Cornell…”
“Let’s remarry,” Cornell interrupted, not allowing her to speak.
This sentence was like water poured into the boiling oil in a pan.
The crackling sound kept exploding in Audrey’s mind.
She was stunned for a while. At this moment, Cornell took out the wedding ring he had given her before. He explained, “This ring was given to me by my grandmother. She and my grandfather had been deeply in love throughout their lives. So, this ring means a lot to me. This is very special. It’s just that I didn’t explain it to you clearly at that time.”
After saying this, he took out a pigeon-egg-sized pink diamond ring and put both rings on Audrey’s palm.
Then he said, “I had this one customized, but it took a long time to arrive. Audrey, let’s remarry.”
Cornell’s tone sounded very firm, blocking all the words Audrey wanted to say. It was as if he did not allow any objections.
He seemed so eager to urgently save something.
Audrey looked at the rings on her palm. She was at a loss for words for a long time, overwhelmed by mixed emotions.
Everything was too late now.
She didn’t dare to be with Cornell anymore. If she was with him, she was not confident that she could go through any heartaches, were there any misunderstandings.
After all, a love without blessings from everyone might not be suitable in itself.
At the thought of this, Audrey took off the rings and handed them back to Cornell, stating calmly, “Cornell, I thought I had made it clear to you.”
Cornell’s face slightly turned cold. He looked at the rings without taking them.
“What do you mean?”
“What happened last night was just an accident. I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore.”
Cornell’s lips curled up slightly.
“Accident? Have you forgotten how passionate and proactive you were last night? After having sex with me five times just in one night, you call it an accident?”
His words made Audrey’s head buzz. She bit her lower lip and said, “Twas only drunk.”
She felt heartbroken. But she plucked up the courage to say decisively, “Even if it wasn’t you last night, I would have done the same with another man. I am an adult, and I have needs. What’s so shameful about that?”
Cornell was stung by her words. He sneered and approached her step by step.
“Needs? You would do the same with another man? But why did you keep calling out my name? You are obviously lying. Do you expect me to believe you?”
Audrey felt uncomfortable with his proximity, so she took a step back.
“Cornell, stop being unreasonable. I admit you are skilled. But we can’t be together. I don’t like you anymore. Not at all. So, let’s live our own Lives, okay?”
“Am I being unreasonable?” Cornell was so angry that he cursed, “Then why are you still fucking sleeping with me?”
Audrey reiterated, “We’re both adults. What’s wrong with us sleeping together and having sex? What does it prove?”
Cornell didn’t say anything. He stared at the rings in her hand for a long time before he finally spoke.
“Really don’t want them?”
Audrey nodded. And the next second, her hand was empty.
The two rings flew in the air and then disappeared.
Audrey gasped. She didn’t expect Cornell to do such a thing.
“Cornell, what are you doing?”
Cornell’s face darkened.
“Since you don’t want them, why do you care what I do to them?”
Audrey lowered her head, not understanding Cornell’s willfulness.
How could he throw away the diamond rings worth tens of millions of dollars just like that?
Cornell was silent for a few seconds. Then, suddenly, he picked her up, threw her on the sofa, and pressed his body against hers.
Audrey panicked. She struggled to break free.
“Cornell, what are you doing?”
Cornell pulled her collar with a cold face.
“Didn’t you say there was nothing wrong with adults sleeping together? Then, let’s sleep together a few more times and see what it can prove.”
While he spoke, his hands were already moving, unbuttoning her blouse.
Suddenly, a crisp slap sound echoed.
Audrey slapped Cornell in the face.
“Stay away from me, and don’t touch me. I don’t agree to be intimate with you. I can sue you for raping me. Do you understand?”
Cornell curled his lips coldly and said mockingly, “When you begged me for another round of sexual intercourse last night, why didn’t you say I was doing it against your will? Should I just satisfy your needs for free? Is it wrong for me to ask something in return?”
Audrey glared at him angrily.
“You’re talking nonsense. We both know that last night was consensual.”
Cornell stared at her. When he saw the hickeys on her neck, his eyes darkened.
“Since it was consensual, what’s wrong with doing it a few more times?”
Audrey looked away and said, “Of course, it’s wrong. Because I don’t want to sleep with you again. We shouldn’t be involved with each other anymore.”
Cornell didn’t let her dodge. He held her chin and forced her to look at him. When their eyes met, he said in a low voice, “Audrey, don’t think you can deceive me. The way you showed your emotions last night is not something you can fake. You still like me, right?”
“Cornell, I admit you are skilled. But the kind of pleasure you give me is something I can also get in buying a high-end toy. I can get it elsewhere.”
Judging from Cornell’s expression, Audrey could tell that he was displeased by her words. But she ignored it and continued resolutely, “As I have said, I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore. And I mean it. The way you act right now is really pointless. Save some dignity for yourself.”
She had promised Luciana to make Cornell give up, and she wouldn’t break it.
Audrey knew how proud and arrogant Cornell was. He would never tolerate anyone damaging his self-esteem.
She clenched her fists to dispel the inexplicable pain in her heart.
“Cornell, I am not the only woman in this world. There are plenty of women out there desiring your attention. Don’t act like this. You’re only making me look down on you.”
Cornell’s face darkened even more. The pain in his eyes was so intense that it was hard to ignore.
He stared at her and said word by word, “Do you honestly mean it?”
Audrey was stunned for a moment. Then, she said, “Yes, I mean it.
From now on, let’s just be strangers. Let’s not contact each other again.”
“Strangers?”
Cornell lowered his gaze, feeling this word tore his heart apart.
Audrey’s face remained calm. It was as if she was not affected at all. But mo one knew that her hands hidden under her body were clenched so tightly that they had already turned pale.
She thought it would be easy. But why was it so heartbreaking when she said those words?
It was as if someone was tearing her heart apart. She felt terribly uncomfortable.
Cornell didn’t say anything more. He just turned around and left.
After he left, Audrey went downstairs and looked for the rings.
Finally, she saw them under a tree.
When she returned to the room, she put the rings on her finger. They were her size. They fit her perfectly, and they looked beautiful.
She loved the rings so much that tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Audrey didn’t know what to do with the rings, so she found a box, put them inside neatly, and kept them.
In the hospital, Nicole had already woken up.
