Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
A tirade of emotions, including anger, grievance, and unwillingness, surged inside Audrey’s mind.
Audrey sobbed and asked, “Do you even love me?”
Cornell froze. He then looked at her without saying anything.
His silence told Audrey all that she needed to know.
For the umpteenth time in the past few days, her heart broke. She had loved this man for a decade, yet he never loved her.
She wanted to punch his stomach now. But since her hand was injured, she resorted to biting his chin hard.
“Shit!”
The sudden pain made Cornell hiss. He pinched Audrey’s chin and ordered, “Let me go!”
Once Audrey let go of his chin, she turned her face away and let her tears flow freely.
However, in the eyes of Cornell, Audrey resisted him because of another man.
He was so angry that he laughed.
“Save your tears! You just turned me off.”
With that, he stormed out of the room and slammed the door in rage.
Audrey felt as if her heart had been yanked out of her chest. Her stomach suddenly ached.
She rushed to the bathroom and threw up.
It was as if there was a tornado in her stomach. She clutched it tightly while vomiting over and over again.
Cornell must have gone to see Cecilia. The love of his life.
And as for her, she was probably just a pleasure tool to him.
Audrey covered her mouth to stop the loud wail that was threatening to come out. Tears continued to stream down her cheeks.
She shouldn’t have asked him that serious question. She only ended up hurting herself even more.
It was high time she let that shit go.
Audrey told herself again and again.
She soon began to contemplate her next move.
In the VIP lounge of a bar.
A group of men sat together with two half-naked women.
Cornell’s face was hidden in the darkness, but it was still unable to cover up his outstanding look.
The busty woman in a white skirt moved closer to him and poured him a glass of wine. She leaned over and said while jiggling her breasts, “Hey, handsome. Why don’t you..
Her hand traveled from his knee to his thigh as she spoke. Before she could move farther up, Cornell kicked the stool she was sitting on.
With a bang, the woman fell to the floor.
“Fuck off!” roared Cornell.
The busty woman covered her face and ran to the door.
Jarrod stopped her, threw her a bundle of banknotes, and then raised his eyebrows to tease, “You picked the wrong person, didn’t you? Next time, remember to look for me. I’ll take you somewhere else to have some fun.”
Luis chuckled at that.
“Right! Ladies love Mr. Schultz. And he knows how to treat y’all!”
The woman put the money on her chest and smiled charmingly at Jarrod.
“Well, don’t forget about me, Mr. Schultz.”
Once she left, Luis sucked his teeth in disgust.
He then squinted at Cornell, who was Lighting yet another cigar. Luis asked, “Dude, are you a chimney? What’s up with you?”
Suddenly, as if he had just discovered a new continent, his eyes widened when he took a closer look at Cornell’s face.
Jarrod also turned to look at Cornell when he sensed something was amiss.
There was a huge bite mark on Cornell’s chin. It looked fresh.
Luis and Jarrod exchanged confused looks. Who could have done that to Cornell?
Cornell found Luis’ gaze annoying. He felt like Luis was scrutinizing him. He looked at Luis and said with a smile, “Why don’t you come closer and have a look?”
But his smile was cold and murderous. It looked terrifying.
Luis laughed wryly and said curiously, “It must be an intense battle in bed. How did Cecilia’s small and weak body withstand it?”
Cornell’s handsome face darkened upon hearing this. He looked at Luis and said coldly, “It was not Cecilia.”
“What? Then, who?”
Luis was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He thought for a moment.
Then he surmised, “Was it Audrey?”
Cornell didn’t answer. Everyone concluded that he acquiesced in Luis’ I guess.
Luis said jokingly, “As far as I know, Audrey is well-behaved. I didn’t know she had a wild side.”
At this moment, Jarrod sat with a sexy woman in his arms. The woman had round and full breasts, a slim waist, and a plump butt. Then he sneered, “Maybe she is playing tricks to stop Cornell from divorcing her. She must really be interested in Cornell.”
No one contradicted Jarrod because everyone in their circle was in favor of Cecilia. They all agreed with Cornell’s decision to marry her.
They also believed that Michel really loved Cecilia. After all, Cornell had always been indifferent to women. He only doted on Cecilia.
Besides, Cornell and Cecilia were from equally wealthy families. They thought they were a good match.
They had long expected to witness Cornell and Cecilia’s wedding.
However, something unexpected happened, and things changed. They had no idea why Cornell and Cecilia had a conflict. After Cecilia went abroad, Cornell suddenly married someone else.
At first, they all thought Cornell was tricked by Audrey. That was why he married her. And because of this, they hated Audrey very much.
But as time went by, their views on Audrey changed. After all, she never made trouble for any of them. However, they still favored Cecilia to be Cornell’s wife.
This was one of the unspoken rules in society. People would only marry those of the same status. It was just a fairy tale that Cinderella married the prince.
In the rich circle, the marriage of convenience was commonplace and had become a norm since the families of both parties could benefit from it.
There was a long silence in the room, Finally, Cornell broke it. He said in a low voice, “No, she didn’t.”
If Audrey really used some tricks to stop him from divorcing, Cornell wouldn’t be so upset.
At this moment, he was still irritable.
He felt like a kitten he had raised for two years suddenly clawed at him for someone else.
Anger surged in his heart, and he could no longer suppress it.
What made Cornell even more irritable was the fact that he didn’t know why his state of mind could be easily affected by Audrey.
Suddenly, he didn’t want to divorce her anymore.
He thought about it for a long time. And in the end, he concluded that it was only because of his possessiveness.
If Audrey really wanted to divorce him, he could agree. But he would never allow her to be with another man.
Luis noticed that Cornell fell silent again. He raised his attractive eyes to gaze at Cornell, and said knowingly, “I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”
Jarrod sneered, “How can it not be simple? She’s just a woman. She’s for fun, so play with her. If you fall in love with her, you are stupid.”
Luis gave Jarrod a sidelong glance.
“Hey, you! You must have dealt with all the people in Merchant Alliance and done a lot against the Lawrence family recently. Mr. Lawrence can no longer keep his calm.
You are responsible for it, right?”
Jarrod nodded without hesitation.
