Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
She always believed in people’s subconscious reactions because they were hard to deny.
Needless to say, Cornell would never push Cecilia away. He would never abandon Cecilia to save someone Like her.
At the thought of this, Audrey’s disappointment in Cornell grew even heavier.
It was said that a couple learned to love and treat each other with kindness even more after marriage. But the situation between Audrey and Cornell was different. Cornell never learned to love Audrey. He would even choose another woman over her when it came to a dire situation.
Audrey swallowed her bitterness and said in a trembling voice, “I know you badly want a divorce. I have already talked with Luciana, and she has agreed to it. But for Kyler’s sake, you have to wait for one more month.”
Audrey could feel Cornell’s urgency, so she told him about her conversation with Luciana just now.
Today, he pushed her down the stairs, and she almost lost her life.
If she refused to divorce, it was hard to imagine what would happen to her next. What if he killed her directly to make way for Cecilia?
Cornell listened to her with a somber expression.
Audrey continued, “One month is not too long, so I hope you can put up with it for Kyler’s sake. Don’t worry. I won’t disturb you and Cecilia during this period. You are free to do whatever you want. But if you can’t wait for one month…”
Before she could finish her words, Cornell directly cut her off.
He looked at her coldly and said, “Yes, I can no longer wait. What else can you do?”
Audrey remained silent. Her eyelashes flickered violently.
She was right all along. Cornell couldn’t wait to divorce her and be with the woman he loved.
She, on the other hand, foolishly waited for his love for ten years.
She was too stupid to believe that he could learn to love her.
Audrey suppressed the sadness in her heart. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, thinking about how to make both sides happy.
However, she didn’t know that Cornell was only infuriated by her words. He questioned her furiously, “You can’t wait to divorce me so you can be with Henley, right?”
Audrey frowned after hearing what Cornell said.
It was Cornell who desperately wanted to divorce her. This matter was between the two of them. How could he implicate Henley?
Just now, Audrey almost died after Cornell pushed her down the stairs.
But she was generous enough not to lose her temper and make a fuss in front of the public. She let the matter go just like that.
But now, Cornell still dared to criticize her? Was there something wrong with his brain?
She sneered, “Cornell, do you expect me to remain single after we divorce? You can lead a happy life with Cecilia. Why can’t I find someone who really cherishes me?”
The words she said made the blue veins on Cornell’s forehead throb violently.
He suddenly grabbed her chin and said coldly, “Have you forgotten what I told you? Do you really want him to disappear from Ardlens?”
Audrey trembled in anger. Cornell was really going too far. She gritted her teeth and said, “Cornell, I will say it for the last time. Henley and I are just friends. He treats me as his younger sister. Nothing more.”
Younger sister? Did Audrey really expect Cornell to believe it?
Cornell sneered. He was a man. How could he not know? It was very obvious that Henley had a thing for Audrey.
Cornell’s eyes fell on Audrey’s curvy body, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. She looked extremely tempting in her dress, and it was almost driving him crazy.
Moreover, she didn’t like going to banquets or parties. But tonight, she attended the party dressed to kill.
Cornell linked all the signs together. And his conclusion made him extremely grumpy.
He looked at Audrey with narrowed eyes and approached her step by step.
“So, you came to this party because you wanted to have a tryst with that man.”
Audrey was so furious that she was about to explode. She had already explained, but Cornell didn’t believe her at all. He even slandered her.
Well, why did she still expect him to believe her?
After all, this was not the first time he treated her unjustly. In fact, she had been nursing a grievance about him.
Audrey felt ridiculous. Cornell was accusing her of hooking up with another man.
But the truth was he was the one who was unfaithful to their marriage. How dare he blame her!
At this moment, Audrey could no longer restrain herself. The anger that had accumulated in her heart for a long time instantly exploded.
She didn’t care about anything anymore. She roared, “Cornell, how can you be so shameless? You always ask me to stay away from Henley because of your baseless accusations. What about you? Don’t you and Cecilia have a relationship? Have you ever thought of your marriage before you had an affair with her?
I’ll tell you once again. There is nothing between Henley and I. We are not guilty of anything, and we have nothing to hide. We are not cheaters like you. We are already in the twenty-first century. Your allegation against me is a typical double standard. You accuse me of something that you’re actually doing. Don’t you know that?”
Audrey was so angry that she almost burst into tears.
It was clearly Cornell and Cecilia who ruined their marriage.
Everything was their fault. But why was she the one being bullied?
Was it because she loved and cared for Cornell?
Was it enough reason for him to humiliate her at will?
If that was the case, she should force herself to give up this love for good.
Audrey clenched her fists tightly and said coldly, “If you dare to harm Henley, you will never see me again. I mean it.”
“Really? Do you even know what you are talking about?” Cornell asked through clenched teeth. His eyes suddenly turned red, and his expression became ferocious. It was as if he was going to tear Audrey apart at any moment.
Sadness overwhelmed Audrey’s heart. It hurt her so much.
Probably, only Cecilia and his family mattered to Cornell. He didn’t care about anyone or anything else.
In other words, she and Henley were nothing in his eyes. He could just get rid of them anytime he wished.
Audrey and Henley were two insignificant people who came from humble families. So, should they just give in to Cornell because of his status and wealth?
Not even possible! There was no way she would give in to Cornell.
“Cornell, our divorce has nothing to do with Henley. Don’t forget that we had already agreed to divorce before he came back.”
She looked at Cornell and added word by word, “So, if you hurt him, I will risk my life to save him.”
Audrey had no idea that her words only aggravated Cornell’s fury.
Cornell could hardly breathe because of anger. It was as if his heart was clutched by an invisible giant hand, suffocating him.
Audrey was actually willing to die for another man. She should love Henley that much!
Should he let them be together? No way! Absolutely not! Over his dead body!
Cornell stared at Audrey with bloodshot eyes. Then he pinched her chin tightly and warned, “Don’t even think about being with him. I’m telling you. Even if we divorce, don’t even think about marrying another man, I will never allow it. Over my dead body!”
Audrey’s eyes widened in disbelief. She struggled desperately and questioned, “Cornell, are you crazy?”
Cornell’s grip on her chin tightened even more, and she was already hurting. He asked back, “Crazy?”
He pursed his lips and swept everything off the table with his other hand.
The vase rolled several times on the floor. The petals of the flowers scattered, and the carpet was soaked in water.
Cornell held Audrey’s waist with one hand and pulled her closer. He leaned closer to her ear, and his hot breath sprayed on her earlobe when he sneered, “I’ll show you how crazy I am, then.”
“ARE”
Audrey was dizzy for a moment. Before she knew it, she was already lying on the table, and Cornell was on top of her, pressing his body hard against her.
It was only then that Audrey realized what Cornell was up to. She was white as a sheet, and tears rolled down her face uncontrollably.
She hated him very much.
She kept struggling and shouting, “Stop it, you jerk! Let go of me!”
How could Cornell do this to her here on such an occasion?
How dare he humiliate her in a strange room at his great- grandfather’s birthday party!
Audrey continued to struggle, but it was in vain. She was Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. No matter what she did, her strength was no match for Cornell.
“You asked for it,” Cornell said, looking at her with darkened eyes.
