Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
“I came for the routine check-up and happened to see you when you brought Kyler in.”
Cecilia looked anxious.
“How is he doing now? Please tell me he’s okay! I’m worried about him. Can I go see him?”
Audrey spun on her heels and said curtly, “Don’t disturb Kyler at the moment. He’s not expecting you, so stay away!”
“Oh, my! Is it a crime that I want to check on Kyler? Why are you speaking to me so rudely?” Cecilia held her chest and looked pitiful.
Audrey twisted half of her face as she stared at the drama queen.
Kyler had just suffered a heart attack and was yet to recover. If Cecilia showed up in front of him, he might just convulse to death.
And she believed that Cornell should also know it.
As expected, after a moment of silence, Cornell explained, “Cecilia, you can’t show up in front of my grandfather now.”
Cecilia’s eyes widened. Huh? What the hell did he just say? She completely dropped her acting.
What happened to the Cornell who promised to do anything for her?
He used to say yes to her every request. But now, he said no without even mincing words. Was this a dream?
Cecilia was well aware that no one in the Clement family liked her, except Cornell’s father. She wanted to work her way into the hearts of his family. Yet, Cornell was the one standing in her way. Why?
Cecilia took a look at Audrey and lowered her gaze. A sinister coldness flashed across her eyes.
Audrey must be trying to drive a wedge between them!
Only God knew what nonsense she filled Cornell’s head with!
Her existence was too much of a threat. This bitch had to go!
Cecilia hid the resentment in her heart and said pitifully, “Cornell, didn’t you say that you were getting divorced today? How come your grandpa ended up in the hospital? Did someone say anything to him?”
It was obvious she was dropping hints at the cause of Kyler’s hospitalization.
Audrey sneered. These two were indeed like minds!
With teary eyes, Cecilia turned to look at Audrey and said, “Audrey, if you don’t want this divorce, just come out straight. Why are you toying with my feelings? You just told me on the phone that you were on your way to go through the divorce.”
Cecilia’s tears were like pearls hanging on her face, and her expression was rather innocent and pitiful.
The corners of Audrey’s mouth twitched as she thought to herself.
This snake really deserved an Oscar. What the…
Audrey was in no mood to argue with Cecilia today or watch Cecilia pull her best acting yet in front of Cornell.
“Cornell and I can’t get divorced for now. As for why, I think you should direct that question to Cornell. Bye!”
After eyeing the two of them, Audrey turned around to leave. But she bumped into Luciana who had just shown up.
When Luciana saw Audrey’s red eyes and noticed the two people behind her, Luciana put two and two together.
She took Audrey’s hand and said authoritatively, “You are going nowhere. As my daughter-in-law and a member of the Clement family, you stay with us. If anyone should leave, it should be the outsider in our midst!”
Luciana raised her voice on purpose. Hearing this statement, Cecilia’s face turned pale. She put on an act to stagger back and collapsed into Cornell’s arms.
With her head lowered, Cecilia’s shoulders shivered violently as if she was crying her heart out.
She was actually gnashing her teeth.
She hated Luciana’s guts. This old bitch showed up to put a spanner in her works again!
Argh! She was so pissed.
Fuck it! Luciana could go to hell with her acceptance. All that mattered was that Cornell cared about her the most.
Once she got married to Cornell, she would teach this old witch a lesson for being so mean!
Luciana’s blood boiled as she watched Cecilia leaning shamelessly in her son’s arms. What a loose girl!
She grabbed the broom from the cleaner who happened to be next to her. And then, she swept the dirt on the floor toward Cecilia with a few quick swipes.
Cecilia was horrified.
“What are you doing?”
With a scowl, Luciana pointed the broom at Cecilia and shouted, “I’m just sweeping the dirt. Get out of my sight, you filthy slut!”
Cecilia looked around. There were already many onlookers, including some nurses and hospital cleaners. She had never been humiliated like this, so she felt very embarrassed. Her face turned pale, and tears started to stream down her face.
She said between sobs, “Luciana, I know you don’t like me. And I don’t blame you for that. But believe me, I am just worried about Kyler. I only want to see him. I’m harmless.”
“You already know how annoying you are in our eyes, but you still dare to show up here! You are so shameless! You want to see Kyler?
I’m telling you, you are the Last person he wants to see. What he hates the most are those who destroy other people’s marriages. So, you can leave now. And don’t ever show up again. You will only piss him off. Do you hear me?”
Luciana said without scruples. Although there were many people around, she didn’t restrain herself from saying those harsh words to drive Cecilia away.
This time, Cornell stepped forward and said with a frown, “Mom, that’s enough. You’re already a bit out of Line.”
He was concerned about Luciana. After all, she was a member of the Clement family. Those harsh words she said in front of the public would definitely have a bad impact on her.
“Don’t call me mom! You already know that your grandfather’s condition, yet you’re so reckless that you even bring a disreputable woman here at this time. What’s on your mind? Are you trying to piss him off? Are you out of your mind?”
“Mom, please, don’t be so mean to Cecilia. It’s not what you think it is. We…”
“Cornell…” Cecilia called out softly before Cornell could finish his words. She had to interrupt him because she was afraid he would tell Luciana they had nothing to do with each other. She didn’t want her lies to be exposed, especially in front of Audrey.
She cried pitifully and continued, “Cornell, I understand Luciana’s prejudice against me.” Then she turned to Luciana.
“But Luciana, I really love Cornell. We love each other.”
Cornell frowned upon hearing this. He was about to interrupt Cecilia again to explain when Cecilia suddenly fell on her knees with a thump.
Cecilia cried even harder and pleaded, “Luciana, I’m begging you for your approval. If you don’t agree, I will always kneel here until you change your mind!”
When those who didn’t know the truth saw this scene, they would think Luciana was a wicked mother-in-law who maliciously wanted to destroy a loving couple while Cecilia was the pitiful girl.
If only they knew that this so-called loving couple was actually a married man and a shameless woman who tried to ruin the man’s marriage.
When Audrey heard Cecilia’s words, she felt a tearing pain in her heart.
The atmosphere here made her feel suffocated. If Cornell and Cecilia loved each other, then what about her?
Did that mean she was the third wheel the whole time?
Luciana was not moved by Cecilia’s pitiful look. Instead, she wanted to laugh out loud at Cecilia’s shamelessness.
Luciana crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Cecilia condescendingly.
“Drop the act, drama queen! Don’t think that I can’t tell Cornell only takes care of you because you once saved his life.
He doesn’t love you at all. He’s only treating you well out of gratitude. And he pities you because you are sick. So, stop your wishful thinking and get out of here!”
Then Luciana turned to the bodyguards and ordered, “Since she likes to kneel in front of the crowd, drag her to the entrance. Let her continue her act there. In that case, she could carry on with her act with more people watching her!”
Cecilia kept her head lowered, frightened to death.
She knew that Luciana was a woman of her word.
When Cecilia saw the bodyguards approaching her, she hurriedly fell on Cornell’s feet with a scream, a gleam flashing through her eyes.
She knew that Cornell would defend her. As long as Cornell was on her side, Luciana and Audrey would never be able to defeat her!
Sure enough, Cornell stopped the bodyguards. Cecilia put on a smug face secretly.
Luciana got the wrong idea, thinking that Cornell was trying to protect Cecilia. Livid, Luciana roared, “Cornell, what are you doing?
You are trying to piss me off, aren’t you?”
Audrey couldn’t stand it anymore. The scene in front of her was only making her feel sick.
The interaction between Cornell and Cecilia only intensified the disgust in her heart.
With a pale face, Audrey tugged at Luciana’s sleeve and asked, “Luciana, can I Leave now?”
Luciana held Audrey’s hand and gently squeezed it to comfort Audrey.
