Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
Audrey remembered his injuries. She tried to stand up, afraid of hurting him. However, Cornell held her so tightly that she couldn’t move.
“You don’t need to call the doctor. Just come here and lie beside me.”
Cornell’s voice sounded above Audrey’s head. She couldn’t tell whether he was happy or angry.
“What?” She Looked at him in confusion.
“Are you just going to sleep sitting there?” Cornell asked in a clear and cold voice.
Audrey finally understood what he meant, and she couldn’t help blushing. She stammered, “I… I’m not sleepy yet. If I am, I will ask Matteo to look after you.”
“”Audrey…” Judging from his flat and indifferent tone, Audrey could tell that he was angry.
“Do you still have a heart?”
He looked at her with piercing eyes. His gaze was filled with accusations, which almost overwhelmed Audrey.
Since Audrey was still guilty about his injuries, she compromised.
“Okay, but later. I’m not sleepy yet. You can take a rest first.”
Cornell knew that Audrey was only making an excuse. He snorted coldly.
“Are you afraid that I will take advantage of you? You know that I am injured, right? You seem to be overestimating me.”
He hit the nail on the head. Audrey felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide.
She muttered in a low voice, “No, I…”
But before she could finish her words, he pulled her closer and said, “Do you want me to carry you up?”
They were so close to each other that their breaths intertwined.
Audrey’s face flushed even more.
She said in a panic, “No, no, no. I can do it myself.”
But it was too late. Cornell had already exerted force on his hand, and she was lifted to bed easily.
The bed in the VIP ward was big. It was only a little smaller than the one in their bedroom. Cornell held Audrey tightly in his arms.
She had no way to escape anymore.
But she was afraid that she would hurt his injuries, so she suggested cautiously, “We don’t need to be so close, right? Your wound is still fresh.”
“Do you think we’re too close?”
Cornell lowered his gaze and touched the tip of Audrey’s nose with his. He asked in a hoarse voice, “How about this?”
Audrey’s face was now as red as the sun-kissed apple. She was about to say something, but Cornell sealed her lips with his.
He traced her lips with the tip of his tongue, then let go of them.
He said in a magnetic voice, “I can make it more intimate if you like.”
Audrey’s heart almost jumped out of her chest when she heard Cornell’s words. She quickly extend her hand to stop him.
The expression on Cornell’s face changed. His brows furrowed tightly.
Audrey wasn’t sure if it was because of his wound.
While she was worrying, he suddenly said casually, “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you.”
Audrey blushed even more. It was as if all her blood gathered in her face. She was embarrassed and annoyed at the same time.
She wanted to scold Cornell, but she was afraid of being heard by Matteo outside the door. So, she could only glare at him and say in a low voice, “You are bullying me again.”
Audrey was not aware that she was so alluring when her face flushed, and she spoke in such a soft voice.
Cornell’s throat tightened and felt dry. His deep-set eyes were filled with undisguised desire.
If he wasn’t injured, he really wanted to have sex with her right now.
Audrey had no idea what was on Cornell’s mind at the moment. But everything that happened in the Lloyd family’s villa kept flashing in her mind. She couldn’t forget every detail of tonight’s event.
Yes, Cornell saved her life. But didn’t he also almost take her life when he pushed her down the stairs?
Now that she was once again reminded of everything that happened tonight, her eyes darkened.
Audrey was brought back to reality when she suddenly heard a faint sound.
It turned out that Cornell hit her thigh. Her ears turned red, and she glared at him with a frown.
“What are you doing?”
“Bullying you,” Cornell said in a hoarse voice. And before she could retort, he pressed his lips against hers again.
Audrey tried to resist, but she was just like a little rabbit in front of him. Her efforts were futile.
But she didn’t give up resisting. Since she couldn’t move, she turned her head away to prevent Cornell’s Lips from touching hers.
Cornell held Audrey’s chin frivolously and forced her to face him. He looked at her with sharp eyes and asked, “I can’t even kiss you now?”
There was no expression on his face, so Audrey knew he was serious.
He looked cold and indifferent.
The temperature in the ward suddenly dropped to a freezing point.
At this moment, the phone on the bedside table rang, breaking the awkward silence. It was Audrey’s phone.
Audrey reached out to get her phone. She was very careful not to touch Cornell’s wound.
But Cornell misunderstood what she did. In his eyes, she deliberately avoided him because she was disgusted with him. She was rejecting her.
His eyes became colder, and his expression darkened.
Since Audrey was focused on her phone, she didn’t see the changes in Cornell’s expression. When she saw it was Nicole calling, she subconsciously felt it was not the right time to answer it. So she decided to cancel it.
But to her surprise, Cornell said coldly, “Answer it.”
She hesitated for a moment before she pressed the answer button.
“”Audrey, are you home safe? I heard from Henley that…”
“Nicole…” Audrey immediately interrupted before Nicole could finish her words. Her heart raced.
“What is it?”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, okay? Let’s talk next time. I’m going to sleep now.”
After saying this, Audrey hung up the phone without waiting for Nicole to say anything more.
The temperature in the ward seemed to have dropped even more. It became so depressing that it gave Audrey goosebumps.
But some things couldn’t be avoided easily. It was better to solve matters by talking about it.
Cornell said with a faint smile, “It looks like Henley really cares about you.”
For some unknown reason, his smile made Audrey shiver. But she thought it was better to talk about it mow. She couldn’t just avoid this topic forever.
If she let this misunderstanding continue, it would do them no good.
After thinking for a while, Audrey said, “Cornell, let’s talk about 50”
Cornell looked at her with piercing eyes, but he didn’t say anything.
Audrey adjusted her position and sat up straight. They were so close to each other just now that it seemed her slender body nestled in his arms.
She met his eyes with a solemn look.
The coldness in his eyes sent a chill to her heart, but she tried her best to ignore it. She said, “I know you are worried about Kyler’s condition. I do, too. I care about Kyler, and I want him to live a long and happy life. So, since we can’t divorce until next month, I think we should find a way to get along well. We should reach an agreement that can make both sides feel more comfortable.”
“Agreement?” The corners of Cornell’s mouth tugged slightly upward.
But his expression looked very cold.
“Yes.” Audrey nodded and continued, “Firstly, we must keep a distance from each other. After all, our relationship is different now. It is no longer appropriate for us to do things married couples do, Like making out or having sex. I think you don’t want Cecilia to be sad, right?”
Cornell didn’t say anything. He continued to stare at Audrey with cold eyes.
