As Cornell watched the interaction between Audrey and Henley, Cornell gritted his teeth hard. He felt they were showing off their love for each other and reluctant to part ways in front of him.
He put the tip of his tongue against the back of his teeth, wishing he could finish Henley at once.
After Henley left, only Audrey and Cornell were left in the ward.
The atmosphere around them became more tense.
Before Audrey could react, Cornell had already approached Audrey and grabbed her shoulders as if he was going to strangle her the next moment.
She asked in a trembling voice, “Cornell, what… What are you doing?”
Cornell didn’t answer Audrey’s question. Instead, he pulled down the black coat draped around her shoulders and threw away the pair of slippers. Throwing them down into the trash can, he turned back to Audrey.
He said mercilessly, “So filthy!”
When Cornell entered the ward just now and saw that Audrey was wearing Henley’s coat, he was pissed off.
After throwing them away, he felt much better.
However, hearing Cornell’s words, Audrey was stunned for a moment.
She didn’t expect Cornell to do such a thing and utter those harsh words to her.
Her heart raced, and her blood boiled.
What did he mean by calling her filthy? Just because she wore someone else’s coat, she was already filthy?
How about him? He flirted with Cecilia every day. He carried Cecilia in his arms frequently. Wasn’t he filthy?
Audrey pursed her lips and clenched her fists so tightly that her nails pierced her palms. There were many things she wanted to say, but she chose to shut her mouth.
She kept reminding herself that she and Cornell would have nothing to do with each other after their divorce in a few days. So there was no point in arguing with him now.
She had endured it so far. A few more days wouldn’t be a problem.
Their relationship was about to meet its end.
While lost in thought, she felt a coat wrapped around her shoulders all of a sudden. Then Cornell picked her up without warning and carried her in his arms.
Audrey was startled. She couldn’t help but clutch Cornell’s shirt tightly. Cornell looked down at her. And when he saw her reaction, his violent heart was somehow soothed.
However, Audrey’s expression suddenly changed. She remembered the hickeys on Cecilia’s neck and collarbone. This thought made her feel disgusted.
She wore a long face and said coldly, “Put me down. I can walk by myself.”
But Cornell just ignored her words. He strode out of the ward with her in his arms.
While Cornell walked along the corridor, Audrey observed the surroundings. Many people came and went. The hospital was bustling today. She was afraid of attracting attention, so she stopped struggling.
Soon, they reached the parking lot. Cornell gently put Audrey down in the back seat. Then he turned to the other side, got in the car, and sat next to her.
The driver started the car and drove away.
Still livid, Audrey took off Cornell’s coat and threw it aside. Then she placed her elbow on the handle and rolled down the car window a bit for some fresh air.
Coincidentally, Henley’s grey Mercedes-Benz just drove out of the parking lot at this time. When Audrey saw his car, she was reminded of what had happened today. She couldn’t help feeling sorry for him.
Cornell followed Audrey’s line of sight. And when he saw what she was looking at, he said sarcastically, “What? You can’t bear to leave him?”
He was so close to her that his hot breath sprayed on her ear. She usually found the smell of his breath pleasant. But now, she felt disgusted.
With disgust written all over her face, she couldn’t help pushing him away with her left hand.
However, Audrey’s reaction seemed to hurt Cornell’s heart. He read the wrong meaning of it. Driven by jealousy, he pinched Audrey’s wrist and sneered, “You really can’t bear to leave him, huh?”
Henley, in the grey Mercedes-Benz, seemed to notice Audrey and drove slowly to wait for Cornell’s car.
When the two cars were about to go side by side, Cornell looked at the driver and ordered coldly, “Slow down.”
Audrey was confused. She didn’t know what Cornell was up to.
Before she could react, Cornell raised her hand above her head and pressed her against the half-opened window. Then, he bent over and kissed her hard.
Audrey’s mind went blank. She was dumbfounded.
Her head was pressed against the leather cushion. With the window half open, their lips and teeth were intertwined, and anyone who passed by the car could see what they were doing.
Cornell had thrown his calmness and self-control to the wind. He kissed her with aggression and possessiveness.
He was sucking every breath from her. He tilted his head several times and sucked on her lips and tongue like he wanted to detach them.
This didn’t feel like a kiss. It was more like a punishment.
Even worse, Cornell had asked the driver to drive in parallel with Henley’s car.
In the past, when their marriage was going smoothly, they never had any public display of affection.
Cornell rarely even stood side by side with her, but now he… Ugh!
Audrey got angrier as she thought about it. How could he treat her like this? Was he out of his mind?
She couldn’t move now. He locked down all her limbs and pressed her body with brute force.
Audrey wanted to cuss him out so bad, but her mouth was tightly sealed by his. She could barely breathe at this moment.
There was no warmth in Cornell’s kiss, only the depredations.
He was holding her wrist so hard that his knuckles turned white.
Henley, who was driving next to them, seemed to see them kissing and was reluctant to see that anymore. He stepped on the gas and left their car behind.
Tears streamed down from Audrey’s eyes, gathering more and more, Like a river.
She felt aggrieved and enraged at the same time.
Cornell and Cecilia were bullies! God, she never thought she would be a victim of bullying as an adult!
There was a huge lump in Audrey’s throat as she thought about this.
As soon as Cornell loosened his grip on her, she punched at his chest hard.
Only then did he stop kissing her. Seeing that Audrey was so upset, he thought she was downhearted because Henley caught sight of their kissing. His piercing eyes turned red with jealousy.
As a reserved person, he had never been as emotional as this before.
His blood began to simmer in his veins as he recalled Henley holding Audrey’s feet. He wished he could cut off Henley’s hands.
But he wanted to teach Audrey a lesson first. Now, he rubbed her red and swollen lips with his thumb before letting her go.
Audrey drew a sharp breath to steady herself. As soon as she got her breath, she raised her hand subconsciously.
