After hanging up the phone, Cornell bent down with open arms.
Audrey dodged immediately and said warily, “What are you trying to do?”
Cornell raised his eyebrows.
“What do you think?”
Despite her resistance, he carried her off the sink and took her to the bed carefully.
He then unbuttoned his shirt and took it off. At this moment, he looked Like one of those hot models in energy drink commercials.
At the sight of this, a cry almost escaped Audrey’s lips. She shut her eyes in fear.
She couldn’t wrap her head around why he was behaving so thirsty now.
Was he doing all these to torment her?
An arrogant smile sat on Cornell’s face when he saw her eyes shut.
“You want this so bad, don’t you? Too bad. I’m not available now.
Let’s do it some other time.”
Hearing his statement, Audrey immediately opened her eyes. She saw him smiling from ear to ear while staring down at her.
She realized she just got tricked.
What a wicked man!
She pulled the quilt over her head to hide her flushed face.
This was so humiliating.
Cornell stopped teasing her and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he returned to the bedroom, he was wearing another white shirt.
Audrey had never seen any man look so hot in a plain white shirt.
But she knew that this was just a disguise for the beast underneath.
What a waste!
Cornell approached her and his thin lips looked rather appealing in Audrey’s eyes. Then, he asked lightly, “Haven’t you fed your eyes enough?”
Before Audrey could react, Cornell had already leaned over and bit her earlobe, and then whispered in her ear, “Don’t go nowhere. You can look at me all you want tonight.”
Audrey blushed and buried herself under the quilt again.
His obsession with her ears was very strange. Between last night and this morning, he had bitten her ears a dozen times. He was aware his bites made her feel some type of way, and that was why he didn’t stop.
When Cornell got downstairs, he ordered the maid to prepare something nutritious for Audrey and make sure she ate it.
She nodded obediently. She felt Cornell was such a kind and doting husband.
The need to keep Audrey within the confines of this house became stronger for Cornell as he glanced at the closed bedroom door.
He knew she was trying all she could to push him away.
He decided to indulge her, but never let her go entirely.
After getting into the car, Cornell said to Matteo, “Look into Audrey’s life in college. I want to know about all the men close to her then.”
Matteo was dumbfounded to hear that order.
Back in the villa, Audrey took a nap after having breakfast. She was still flustered because of all that Cornell did.
She thought she knew him well after being with him for two years.
But now, she couldn’t figure out why he didn’t go to Cecilia since he was horny.
Wasn’t it more pleasant to make out with someone he loved?
Did he refuse to do such things with Cecilia because he was scared her health would worsen?
It had to be. After all, he always came onto her hard whenever he wanted sex.
In the afternoon, the maid came to Audrey and told her that she had a visitor.
Audrey was a bit surprised. Only a few people knew she lived here.
Who could the visitor be?
Not prepared, Audrey saw a figure sitting in the living room when she went downstairs.
The so-called visitor turned out to be Cecilia.
Audrey never thought Cecilia would come to her matrimonial home.
“How’s your hand, Audrey?” Cecilia looked good today. Her tone was gentle and she was smiling.
Audrey sat down and crossed her legs. With her eyes slanted, she uttered, “You and I know you didn’t come here to ask after my well- being. Cut to the chase.”
At this moment, Audrey’s skin was radiant as the sunlight from outside fell on her. She looked so beautiful like a blossoming flower.
Jealousy filled Cecilia’s heart at this moment.
As much as she hated to admit it, Audrey was stunning.
“Don’t get me wrong. I just brought you some soup.”
As she spoke, Cecilia placed a thermo flask on the table.
“This will make you heal faster. After all, you have to get better before you can go to the court to make the divorce final, right?”
Of course, Audrey knew about Cecilia’s ultimate motives.
Audrey also smiled and retorted indifferently, “Don’t worry. I’ll get that done as soon as possible. Please take your soup back and enjoy it alone.”
Cecilia opened the flask and pushed it closer to Audrey.
“Cornell said that you like fish, so he asked me to bring some fish soup for you.
It was made with fresh fish straight from the sea. It’s very nutritious. Why don’t you have a taste?”
Hearing what Cecilia said, Audrey’s smile stiffened. The security here was tight, so Cecilia wouldn’t have made it in here if she didn’t have Cornell’s permission.
Sure enough, the warmth she got from him this morning was all in her head.
The smell of the soup was strong. It kicked up Audrey’s gag reflex.
