Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
When she heard that Jarrod was back, she was worried about Nicole, thinking Jarrod might find Nicole. But she comforted herself that Jarrod was already engaged and would get married next month. Probably, Jarrod wasn’t interested in Nicole anymore.
“Same as always,” Nicole answered. She picked up her wine glass and took a sip, glossing over the topic.
Nicole knew that Audrey had been going through a lot recently. She didn’t want to share her problems with Audrey because she didn’t want to add to Audrey’s burden. Instead, she wanted to cheer Audrey up.
So, she suddenly took Audrey’s hand and said loudly, “The dance floor is empty. Let’s dance!”
Audrey’s body stiffened. She was not used to this kind of environment because she rarely went to bars, let alone danced.
In fact, she wouldn’t be here today if Nicole wasn’t in a bad mood and wanted to drink. Nicole was her best friend, so she had no choice but to accompany her.
Before Audrey could react, Nicole had already pulled her to the dance floor.
Sure enough, their beauty attracted people’s attention. Although there were only a few people in the bar, the surroundings became noisier when they applauded at the same time. Even the customers in the private rooms upstairs were shocked by the sudden noise downstairs.
“It’s still early. Why is it so noisy downstairs?” Luis walked out and asked the waiter.
“It’s because of the two pretty ladies on the dance floor. It’s a pity that they came too early. There are not many people at this time. Otherwise, with such stunning girls, it would definitely be a hit tonight,” answered the waiter.
Luis rested his elbow on the railing, leaned slightly sideways, and looked downstairs. His captivating eyes smiled.
He didn’t expect to see Nicole and Audrey here. He knew them.
Something came to Luis’ mind. He took out his phone, took a short video, and sent it to their group chat.
Then he messaged, “Anyone interested?”
However, their group chat was silent.
At this moment, Cornell was still in the ward. The doctor had already given Cecilia two shots, and her condition stabilized.
When Cecilia woke up and saw Cornell, she immediately held his hand tightly and cried pitifully.
“Cornell, I thought you didn’t want to see me anymore.”
Deep down, she felt triumphant. As expected, when Cornell found she fainted, he rushed to check on her.
Yet, Cornell suddenly remembered Luciana’s words today. He frowned and broke free from Cecilia’s grip.
Cecilia was momentarily taken aback and didn’t react.
“Cecilia, this hospital has the best doctors in this country. If this happens again, tell Jocelyn to immediately call a doctor. I’m sure they can help you. After all, I am not a doctor.”
Cecilia was deeply moved by Cornell’s words, thinking he still cared about her.
She deliberately put on a pitiful look, bit her lower lip, and asked sadly, “Cornell, you haven’t divorced today. Will you go through the procedure tomorrow?”
Obviously, Cecilia still believed that Cornell would marry her. In fact, she couldn’t wait to be his wife.
But Cornell’s reply was not what she wanted to hear.
“Grandpa is still sick and in the hospital. Audrey and I won’t divorce for the time being.”
His words came like a bolt from the blue.
Just now, Cecilia indulged herself in her fantasies. She didn’t expect that her dream would be shattered so quickly.
Disbelief was written all over her face. She said in a trembling voice, “Cornell, didn’t you agree to keep the divorce from Kyler before? You can still divorce without letting him know, right?”
Upon hearing this, Cornell’s eyes sharpened at once. He asked, “How did you know that I agreed to keep the divorce from my grandpa?”
As Cornell spoke, his eyes never left Cecilia’s face. It was as if he wanted to see through her through her reaction. Sure enough, a trace of panic crept across Cecilia’s face when she met his scrutinizing gaze.
Actually, Cecilia knew about it from the maids. She asked Jocelyn to bribe the maids in Cornell’s house to get some information.
But, of course, this couldn’t be known by Cornell.
“Cecilia, what I hate the most are people who lie to me,” Cornell said with a hint of warning when he noticed that Cecilia fell silent.
He slowly approached her while staring at her with cold and piercing eyes.
“Cornell, are you doubting me?”
Cecilia instantly burst into tears with an aggrieved look. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She continued between sobs, “How can I know that? Of course, I’m just guessing. After all, you treat Kyler so well. You wouldn’t want to upset him.”
Cornell just looked at Cecilia without saying anything. His face was cold and expressionless.
Judging from his reaction, Cecilia knew that he didn’t completely believe her.
She was so angry that she blurted out without thinking, “Cornell, are you in love with Audrey now? You don’t want to divorce her, do you?”
Cornell’s brows furrowed tightly. He was getting pissed off because this topic had been brought up repeatedly today. Why did everyone think that way?
Had he really fallen in love with Audrey?
No, it couldn’t be possible. He wouldn’t fall in love with anyone.
Then suddenly, Audrey’s image appeared in his mind. Her red eyes and the tears that streamed down her face seemed to break his heart apart.
Cornell didn’t want to admit that he had fallen in love with Audrey.
But he also couldn’t say out loud that he didn’t love her.
Cornell’s silence intensified the anger and desperation in Cecilia’s heart. Since he couldn’t answer her question, it meant he acquiesced in it.
Cecilia was about to question Cornell again when Jocelyn suddenly came in. Jocelyn clutched the corner of her clothes and gently shook her head.
Then Jocelyn cried exaggeratedly, “Oh, Miss Murray! Didn’t the doctor tell you that you can’t get too upset? It’s dangerous. You are risking your life.”
Cecilia immediately understood Jocelyn’s hint. Echoing Jocelyn’s acting, Cecilia hugged Jocelyn tightly and cried sadly.
When Cornell saw Cecilia and Jocelyn crying together, his heart softened. He recalled that Cecilia was still a patient. With that, the arrogance in him instantly vanished.
He said calmly, “Cecilia, before you insist on marrying me, think about it carefully first. From the very beginning, I have made it clear to you that I can only give you the title of Mrs. Clement.
Nothing more. After all, I don’t have any feelings for you. If you ask me, I don’t want you to suffer by my side. I want you to be happy, not to live in resentment.”
Cornell’s words came like a bolt from the blue.
Cecilia was too shocked to react for a while.
Back then, she took advantage of Cornell’s drunkenness and seduced him. She did it because she wanted to sleep with him. But unfortunately, even if she stood naked in front of him, he didn’t even look at her. He explicitly stated that he would never touch her.
Cornell could treat Cecilia well, but he could never touch her.
Cecilia’s pride couldn’t take it. She was so hurt that she decisively flew abroad the next day.
Cecilia thought Cornell would go after her and appease her. But she didn’t expect that as soon as she left, he suddenly got married. She was hurt even more.
Now that she had returned, she thought she could take Cornell back.
But it seemed like history repeated itself. However, she was determined to firmly hold him this time. She would never leave him again.
Aside from the title of Mrs. Clement, Cecilia also wanted to win Cornell’s heart. His heart, body, and soul must belong to her!
Cecilia saw that Cornell was about to leave. She panicked even more.
Then she came up with an idea, Without hesitation, she dropped her body from the bed.
A loud bang sounded in the ward when her body hit the floor.
As expected, it attracted Cornell’s attention. He stopped in his tracks and turned around. But he didn’t approach Cecilia. Instead, he looked at the stunned Jocelyn next to him and said sternly, “Why don’t you help Miss Murray up yet?”
It was only then that Jocelyn stepped forward to help Cecilia. However, Cecilia shook off Jocelyn’s hand and crawled toward Cornell.
As Cecilia crawled, she cried emotionally, “Cornell, you know how much I love you. Please don’t leave me like this. My life is meaningless without you.”
She continued to drag her powerless legs on the floor toward Cornell laboriously.
Cecilia looked so miserable that anyone who saw her like this would feel sorry for her.
Cornell’s brows furrowed tightly, and his feet moved slightly. But at this moment, his phone rang.
He pressed the answer button without looking at the screen. Then Luis’ nonchalant voice came from the other end of the line.
“Cornell, I’ve been watching Audrey. At this moment, eleven men had already tried to approach her. If you don’t want your wife anymore, tell me. I’ll grab her first.”
The creases on Cornell’s forehead deepened.
