Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
Then she said lightly, “It doesn’t matter.”
She didn’t explain any further.
But what she wanted to say was it didn’t matter what he thought about her.
Audrey was already tired of proving herself to Cornell, so she no longer cared about whatever he thought about her.
Cornell didn’t ask anything more, but his eyes darkened.
“I’ll drive you home.”
Audrey was about to refuse, but she was interrupted by the ringing of Cornell’s phone.
It was Cecilia calling.
Cornell hesitated for a moment. But in the end, he answered it.
He did not put the phone on speakerphone. But Cecilia’s cry was so loud that even Audrey could hear it.
“Cornell, I’m in so much pain. I feel dizzy and uncomfortable.”
Cornell frowned and said coldly, “If you feel uncomfortable, call the doctor to check on you.”
Cecilia didn’t seem to mind the indifference in Cornell’s voice. She cried even harder and said again, “Cornell, it’s really painful. I feel I’m dying.”
“Sorry, I have something else to do. Bye.” After saying this, Cornell hung up the phone without waiting for Cecilia to say anything more.
Audrey listened to Cornell’s phone conversation expressionlessly. She didn’t think that what he said had something to do with her.
Perhaps he really had something urgent to deal with.
When Cornell turned to Audrey and saw her expressionless face, his eyebrows raised slightly. He didn’t like her this way. He would rather see her lose her temper and throw a tantrum.
He took her hand and said gently, “Sit in front.”
Audrey nodded, got out of the car, and sat in the passenger seat obediently. She was too tired to have a meaningless fight.
Cornell was about to move to the driver’s seat when his phone rang again. This time, it was Jocelyn.
His brows furrowed. He hesitated for a moment. But in the end, he still answered it. Jocelyn’s anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
“Mr. Clement, something happened. Miss Murray fainted.”
Cornell’s expression became serious upon hearing this. While looking at Audrey, he said on the phone, “I’ll be right there.”
He hung up and said to Audrey guiltily, “I have to take care of this first. I’ll let the driver take you home. Wait for me there.”
“Okay,” Audrey responded obediently. No muss, no fuss.
She was not in the mood to ask or argue. All she wanted was to go home and rest.
At this moment, Audrey was as docile as she was during their two years of marriage.
Cornell was already used to her obedience. But this time, he felt something was wrong. She lacked emotion. It was as if she was dealing with a stranger.
With this realization, his eyes dimmed. He said softly, “Wait for me at home, okay? I have something important to tell you.”
Audrey didn’t respond. She remained expressionless. But Cornell didn’t have time to wait, so he left in a hurry. He intended to explain everything to her later.
The driver started the car and drove away. As they ran steadily on the road, Audrey leaned against the window and watched the scenery outside fly by.
Crystal-clear tears unconsciously rolled down her face and fell to the window, painting a poignant picture.
Loving Cornell brought Audrey so much pain. That was why she decided to give in and agree to the divorce.
But after she decided to stop loving him, why did it hurt the same?
She felt her entire body was torn apart. Loving and unloving Cornell both broke her heart.
After a while, the driver pulled over in front of the Serenity Villas.
Audrey got out of the car, but she didn’t enter the house. Instead, she watched the car drive away, then hailed a taxi.
She went to a cafe to meet Henley.
Sitting across Audrey, Henley took a sip of his coffee and said, “I heard from Nicole that you want to find a job.”
After saying this, he pushed a business card toward Audrey and added warmly, “This is Cara’s business card. She is the head of Alpire Studio. You’ll have an interview with her tomorrow, so prepare yourself.”
Audrey was so stunned that she didn’t pick up the business card for a while.
Alpire Studio. Did she hear it right?
Was it the Alpire Studio that specialized in serving A-list celebrities and wealthy families?
Finally, Audrey took the business card and looked at it. Upon reading the words “Alpire Studio” printed on it, she glanced at Henley, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Henley, this seems inappropriate.”
Of course, she really wanted this job.
But she knew she was not qualified. If she remembered correctly, the minimum academic qualification in this company was PhD in design.
They also required overseas experience, and their aesthetics and work were exceptional.
“What do you mean? I only sent some of your university works to Cara.
She checked them, and she’s interested in you.”
Audrey was surprised. She didn’t expect Henley to do her such a favor. This made her even more embarrassed.
Henley saw that Audrey was still hesitant, so he comforted her gently, “Don’t worry. Cara won’t favor you just because I recommended you.
You still need to work hard to get this job. That’s why she scheduled you for an interview. I know it’s a bit rushed, but you can make a design drawing overnight, right?”
“Yes. I have enough time to make it.”
Finally, worries in Audrey’s heart dissipated. It was now replaced by the eagerness to give it a try.
Audrey needed a job, but she didn’t want to get it by taking advantage of connections. She wanted the employer to hire her because of her abilities. If it was about showcasing her abilities, she would give it a try.
At this moment, Audrey’s phone rang. It was Nicole calling. Nicole was already outside the cafe to pick Audrey up as they had planned.
After hanging up, Audrey looked at Henley and said apologetically, “Henley, I’m sorry. Nicole is already outside. I’ll treat you to dinner next time.”
The corners of Henley’s mouth curved into a gentle smile.
“It’s okay.
You go ahead.”
He watched Audrey get into Nicole’s car. As soon as they drove away, his smile gradually faded away.
It was replaced by an expression that could send a chill to the depths of people’s hearts.
Nicole took Audrey to Temple Bar.
They entered and booked a booth.
It was only seven o’clock, so there were only a few customers in the bar. It was expected to be bustling from midnight onward.
Nicole ordered wine for herself and grapefruit juice for Audrey.
They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so they had a lot of catching up to do. Nicole asked concernedly, “How’s your relationship with Cornell recently?”
Audrey answered, “Soon…”
What she meant was they were going to divorce soon.
Judging from the number of calls Cecilia made to Cornell today, it was evident that Cecilia would surely take action to make their divorce happen.
Audrey knew that Cecilia would do everything to get Cornell. So she already expected that she and Cornell would divorce soon.
This time, it was Audrey’s time to ask.
“How about you? What have you been doing recently?”
Audrey and Nicole had been friends for a long time, so Audrey knew Nicole very well. She noticed that Nicole was a little mysterious recently.
Audrey had to ask because she no longer worked in the Clement Group, and she didn’t gather any information as readily available as before.
