Cornell raised Audrey’s chin with two of his slender fingers. He tilted his head to make their lips match perfectly.
This kiss was just like his style which was calm and self-control with irrefutable aggressiveness.
Cornell sucked her tongue. He tasted her and she tasted him too.
With her back against the cold wall, Audrey’s lips became swollen and numb.
She legs turned to jelly and she trembled.
This made Cornell want her more. He kissed her as if he wanted to gobble her up there and then.
In contrast, Audrey was on the verge of bursting into tears.
Why was he doing this? Didn’t he love only Cecilia?
Why was he making out with her now? Could this man just stop confusing her?
It wasn’t until Cornell tasted her salty tears that he finally broke the kiss.
He pressed his body against hers. He pressed his lips on her earlobe, exhaled a hot breath, and called with wanting,” Audrey.”
His husky voice was a clear indication that he was so horny now.
Hearing that, Audrey couldn’t help but tremble with anxiety.
She knew what was coming next.
“WiLL you still resist?” Cornell asked in a hoarse voice.
Audrey shook her head with grievance. She didn’t dare to offend him now, fearing that he would throw her to the bed.
“Don’t piss me off ever again!” he added.
Audrey avoided any eye contact with him, but nodded obediently.
It only made Cornell unhappy. He pinched her chin again and ordered, “Audrey, look at me!”
His grip was strong, so there was no way Audrey could continue looking away now.
Her red and swollen lips came into his view again. Cornell’s eyes glistened with lust at this moment.
Audrey never went against him. Whatever he told her to do, she did.
Her occasional subtle resistance only made him more eager to conquer her.
At the imagination of her being with another man, Cornell was pissed.
He badly wanted to punish her just to drive home his point.
The look he was giving her now was like that of a predator waiting to pounce on its prey, making Audrey uneasy.
Out of the blue, Cornell’s phone rang.
Audrey couldn’t be happier. She silently thanked the caller. When Cornell remained still, she reminded him, “Aren’t you going to take that? It might be Cecilia calling.”
She only mentioned Cecilia just to distract him and remind him that he shouldn’t be touching someone he didn’t love now.
Although she knew he didn’t love her clearly, Audrey still felt a little sad.
Cornell pressed her chin harder and asked in a low voice, “You want me to go meet Cecilia instead?”
What else could a woman mean if she was pushing her husband to another woman?
This idea drove Cornell nuts.
His eyes fell on Audrey’s delicate neck. In the blink of an eye, he picked her up and threw her on the soft king-sized bed.
Audrey fearfully asked, “What are you going to do?”
“What else can I do to a woman on the bed?” Cornell chuckled, his eyes emotionless.
He kept looking at her as he threw his jacket on the floor.
Seeing this, Audrey’s heart skipped a beat.
She shifted back warily and stammered, “Don’t… Don’t do this. I’m still injured.”
It had skipped her mind how aggressive he could be. Cornell wasn’t a man to be challenged by anyone.
Audrey gnashed her teeth in regret. She wished she hadn’t provoked him. Now that she was injured, she couldn’t possibly fight him off and flee.
“Just open your legs for me and I’ll take you to cloud nine,”
Cornell said casually and licked his lips while his eyes sparked with lust.
He looked so gentle with the white shirt and the tie. But the next second, he said such words.
Cornell lowered his head and wanted to kiss her, but Audrey turned her head away.
He reached out and pressed her jaw. When her lips became pouty due to his hold, he traced them with his fingers and declared, “I’m still your husband. You can’t deny me.”
Tears rolled down Audrey’s cheeks like pearls.
She whimpered and took a swipe at him with her left hand.
“You son of a bitch! Why are you so mean to me? You claim to be my husband, yet you treat me cruelly!”
Hearing that, Cornell seemed to change his mind all of a sudden. He lowered his head and kissed the tears on her face.
This pissed Audrey off even more.
What did this man take her for?
Why did he kiss her when he didn’t love her? Did he think she would allow him to sleep with her because of a few kisses? Hell, no!
A tirade of emotions, including anger, grievance, and unwillingness, surged inside Audrey’s mind.
Audrey sobbed and asked, “Do you even love me?”
Cornell froze. He then looked at her without saying anything.
His silence told Audrey all that she needed to know.
For the umpteenth time in the past few days, her heart broke. She had loved this man for a decade, yet he never loved her.
She wanted to punch his stomach now. But since her hand was injured, she resorted to biting his chin hard.
“Shit!”
The sudden pain made Cornell hiss. He pinched Audrey’s chin and ordered, “Let me go!”
