Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
“This will make you heal faster. After all, you have to get better before you can go to the court to make the divorce final, right?”
Of course, Audrey knew about Cecilia’s ultimate motives.
Audrey also smiled and retorted indifferently, “Don’t worry. I’ll get that done as soon as possible. Please take your soup back and enjoy it alone.”
Cecilia opened the flask and pushed it closer to Audrey.
“Cornell said that you like fish, so he asked me to bring some fish soup for you.
It was made with fresh fish straight from the sea. It’s very nutritious. Why don’t you have a taste?”
Hearing what Cecilia said, Audrey’s smile stiffened. The security here was tight, so Cecilia wouldn’t have made it in here if she didn’t have Cornell’s permission.
Sure enough, the warmth she got from him this morning was all in her head.
The smell of the soup was strong. It kicked up Audrey’s gag reflex.
Her face turned green. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom.
After throwing up everything in her stomach, she heard Cecilia’s voice come from behind, “Audrey, why do you vomit so frequently? Are you pregnant?”
Audrey’s heart jolted, but she pulled on a frown and said, “Of course not! I just caught a cold last night.”
“A cold, huh?” Cecilia squinted with suspicion.
As a matter of fact, Cecilia asked her chef to make some fish soup just to see Audrey’s reaction.
Thinking of the baby clothes Audrey left behind the other day, Cecilia was certain that Audrey was pregnant.
Cecilia clenched her fists and she wished she could tear Audrey apart.
Audrey not only stole her man, but also wanted to birth his child secretly. Over her dead body would she allow that happen!
She must get rid of this baby as soon as possible!
As she concocted a plan, Cecilia smiled again.
“It’s good that you are not pregnant. You know how Cornell is. If he finds out you are pregnant, he will force you to take an abortion.”
Audrey’s face turned pale when she heard that. This was exactly why she chose to hide the pregnancy from Cornell.
To add fuel to the fire, Cecilia continued, “Besides, your childhood was a disaster. Why put an innocent child through the same thing, right?”
Audrey wanted to ignore Cecilia because she didn’t want to argue with Cecilia. But she didn’t expect Cecilia to be so vicious. Cecilia even cursed the baby in her belly.
Audrey squinted her beautiful almond eyes, stared at Cecilia coldly, and said, “Miss Murray, is this really what noble people do? Is it a hobby for people like you to interfere in other people’s married life? Let me remind you that Cornell and I are legally married. Do you know what people call someone like you? Third wheel! You are a third wheel who ruins our relationship. Miss Murray, you are claiming that you are a noble person. So, Why do you want to be a shameless mistress?”
Cecilia felt a flush of anger. She had never been insulted like this before. And it was even more unacceptable for her that it was Audrey who did it.
“How dare you say that to me! Who do you think you are? You are nothing! Cornell only uses you as a tool to please his grandfather.
Cornell and I grew up together. We were childhood sweethearts. And until now, our love for each other hasn’t changed. Do you really think I am the third wheel? Do you know what is the real definition of a third wheel? The third wheel is the one who is not loved. And that’s you!”
Cecilia thought her words would hurt Audrey. But to her surprise, Audrey only burst into laughter.
“Oh, really? I think that’s only your own definition of a third wheel. Miss Murray, you are so funny. Do you expect everyone in this world to be as shameless as you? No matter what, a mistress will always be a mistress. If I don’t divorce Cornell until the end, you will have to be a mistress for the rest of your life.”
“You… How dare you!”
Audrey’s words stimulated Cecilia. Cecilia was so angry that she rushed to Audrey and pulled the collar of Audrey’s dress, wanting to scratch Audrey’s face.
However, Cecilia suddenly froze.
As soon as the collar of Audrey’s dress was torn open, a long and dazzling hickey was exposed.
Audrey’s delicate skin was marked with red. Obviously, they were kiss marks. But they didn’t look ugly at all. Instead, they made Audrey incomparably charming.
Cecilia didn’t need to ask to know who made those marks.
Cecilia bit her lower lip hard until she felt the taste of blood in her mouth. Her chest almost exploded in anger. She wished she could tear Audrey into pieces right at this moment.
Cecilia’s mind was a mess. She imagined how Cornell buried his face on Audrey’s neck with his eyes full of lust. This thought made her tremble in anger.
Indeed, Audrey was a bitch! Cecilia assumed Audrey had seduced Cornell into leaving that hickey.
“Audrey, you are a disgusting bitch!” Cecilia snarled at Audrey through clenched teeth. Her eyes were filled with viciousness.
Audrey knew why Cecilia was fuming with rage. She glanced at Cecilia and said lightly, “Hey, what is wrong with you? Why are you so angry?
Cornell and I are married. We are a couple. It’s only normal for couples to have sex, right? Since he is my husband, it is my responsibility to satisfy his desire.
And you really think Cornell loves you? He only sticks with you because of your illness. But actually, I have always been wondering if you are really terminally ill. Could it be that you are only pretending to be sick to get Cornell’s sympathy?”
Audrey had all the reasons to doubt. Cecilia was Lively and energetic.
There was no sign of lethargy in her. She didn’t look like a terminally ill patient at all.
“Audrey! You…”
Cecilia clenched her fists tightly and looked at Audrey sharply. A trace of uneasiness flashed through her eyes. She wished she could strangle Audrey to death.
But she suddenly remembered her purpose of coming here today. She couldn’t let her emotions overwhelm her reason, so she forced herself to calm down.
So, Cecilia adjusted her expression and smiled bitterly.
“I didn’t expect Cornell to do this to me.”
Audrey couldn’t help frowning. Just now, Cecilia was fuming. Suddenly, she looked aggrieved. Was she also mentally ill?
Cecilia continued, “I’m not in good health, and Luciana doesn’t Like me. I really didn’t expect Cornell to do this in a bid to please Luciana.”
Audrey was even more confused. She asked in a trembling voice, “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you know? After Cornell left me yesterday, he went to Luciana to ask for her permission again. But Luciana only said that it all depends on you. If you agree, then you can divorce.”
Cecilia’s words came like a bolt from the blue.
Audrey’s expression drastically changed.
Last night, Cornell left hurriedly but came back soon. It turned out he returned to her because he wanted to coax her to agree to the divorce.
Audrey’s face turned pale, and her stomach churned. It was as if someone stirred it violently.
Cornell could really do everything for Cecilia. But actually, he didn’t need to. After all, she had never said she didn’t want a divorce.
Audrey did her best not to cry in front of Cecilia. She didn’t want Cecilia to laugh at her again. But still, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.
And when Cecilia saw this, she knew it was the right time.
Cecilia suddenly stretched out her hand and unbuttoned the collar of her dress, revealing her neckline. Her delicate neck was full of bruises from the collarbone down. The marks looked very dazzling.
Cecilia leaned closer to Audrey for the latter to see her neck clearly. She sneered in a low voice, “Why do you think Cornell touched you?”
Audrey’s face turned deathly pale. She felt like her heart was hollowed out all of a sudden. Her body was like a piece of paper that could be blown away by wind at any time.
Everything was clear to Audrey now.
Cornell came to her last night because Cecilia couldn’t satisfy him.
This thought made Audrey feel sick. Her stomach churned even more, making her want to vomit.
All her confidence vanished. What Cecilia showed her was a slap in her face.
The more Audrey looked paler, the more complacent Cecilia became. She thought her plan succeeded.
Cecilia stood up and said coquettishly, “Don’t think that because you and Cornell have been together for two years, he would want to stay by your side. Accept the fact that I am the only one he loves. No matter what you do, he doesn’t care about you. You are just a tool.
Do you understand?”
Cecilia then turned around and left. Audrey felt like all of her strength was drained. She was so weak that she collapsed to the floor.
Upon seeing this, the maid hurriedly came over to help her. However, Audrey pushed the maid away and said, “I’m fine. I’ll just go out for a walk.”
Audrey stood up weakly, looking dejected.
The maid looked a bit troubled. Cornell didn’t say that Audrey was not allowed to leave the villa, so she couldn’t stop Audrey from taking a walk alone. However, she was worried because Audrey didn’t look okay. What if something happened to Audrey outside?
The maid had no choice but to watch Audrey leave the villa. But as soon as Audrey disappeared from her sight, she hurriedly took out her phone and called Matteo.
Audrey walked along the empty, wide road aimlessly, not knowing where to go. Her mind was still a mess.
