Cornell and Audrey were now in the underground parking lot.
Cornell pushed Audrey into the car violently and fastened the seat belt for her.
Then, he slammed the door shut.
Being controlled like this, Audrey was fuming.
“Cornell, let me go!”
She didn’t understand why Cornell was domineering all the time.
However, Cornell just ignored Audrey. He started the car and sped away. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead.
Audrey was so frightened that she didn’t dare to move. She held the seat belt tightly, afraid that she would be thrown out of the car.
At this time of night, the roads were empty. Cornell was free to drive because there were no other vehicles in the direction going to the villa.
Cornell stepped on the accelerator, and the car dashed even faster.
Its mileage kept soaring. When they passed by a corner, Audrey felt like the whole vehicle drifted on the road.
Judging from his actions and expression at this moment, Audrey knew very well that Cornell was furious.
But she was confused. What made him so angry like this?
After everything that happened, shouldn’t she be the one who should be angry?
Audrey was framed several times, but Cornell defended Cecilia all the time. He didn’t care whether Cecilia was right or wrong. And this was what broke Audrey’s heart.
But at this moment, she couldn’t dwell on this matter. Her utmost concern was her and her baby’s safety. She said in a trembling voice, “Cornell, please slow down.”
However, Cornell didn’t seem to hear anything. He kept speeding up.
Audrey could no longer hold back her tears. She was really frightened now. Her stomach felt very uncomfortable. She said in tears, “Cornell, stop the car. I’m going to vomit. Stop… Stop it…”
Audrey could no longer finish her sentence. She covered her mouth and retched.
Cornell still didn’t say anything.
But suddenly, the car came to a screeching halt.
It turned out they had already arrived at Serenity Villas. Cornell drove so fast that it only took them about ten minutes to get home.
Audrey rushed out of the car, ran to the bathroom on the first floor, and threw up.
But her stomach was empty because she hadn’t had dinner yet. She felt very uncomfortable, but she couldn’t vomit anything.
At this moment, a glass of warm water was passed to Audrey. She took it and drank a few mouthfuls at once. It was only then that she finally felt better.
Then she remembered what had happened just now. She turned to Cornell, pounded his chest, and complained aggrievedly, “Cornell, are you out of your mind? You scared me to death. If you want to die, don’t implicate me. I don’t want to lose my life in a car accident.”
When Cornell saw Audrey crying so sadly, he pulled her into his arms and gently stroked her back. Her tears fell and seeped through his shirt. He felt his heart melted.
Audrey suddenly felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen. Maybe the baby in her belly was also stressed out when she was stimulated by fear just now.
She was worried. What if something happened to her baby?
Cornell noticed that Audrey’s face turned pale. He unconsciously felt nervous. He asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong with you?”
At the thought that her baby’s life was at risk just now because of Cornell, Audrey was furious. She pushed him away and snapped, “It’s none of your business! Leave me alone!”
Cornell’s eyes immediately turned cold. He stared at her and asked, “None of my business? Do you really think it has nothing to do with me?”
Audrey lowered her head and ignored him. Of course, she couldn’t tell him about the baby. But what she did only angered Cornell even more.
“How dare you sneak out and go to the bar by yourself! Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at home?”
He paused and sneered through clenched teeth, “There had been dozens of them hitting on you before I arrived, right?”
“Twenty of them in total,” Audrey suddenly blurted out.
There was momentary silence between them. Cornell really wanted to strangle Audrey to death. But when he saw her pale face, he held back the urge to do so.
“And you’re very proud of it, right?”
Audrey looked at Cornell in confusion.
“Didn’t you ask me? I only answered you.”
“I…” Cornell was at a loss for words.
For the first time, he had realized that it was more difficult to deal with Audrey than to negotiate a billion-dollar contract.
Cornell tried hard to restrain himself. He ordered coldly, “Don’t let me see you in that kind of place again. Otherwise, I will break your legs!”
Audrey couldn’t stand him anymore. But she held back her anger and retorted, “Cornell, we are about to divorce. You will already get what you have been wanting. Why do you always meddle in my business?
Don’t you think it is a bit unreasonable?”
Cornell frowned and laughed angrily.
“Why are you in such a hurry to divorce me? Can’t you wait to hook up with other men? Have you already made a promise to Henley? How’s the coffee today, by the way?”
It was only then that Audrey understood why Cornell was so angry. It turned out he was jealous of Henley.
Anger surged in her heart.
“Cornell, are you out of your mind? Why are you following me?”
Actually, Cornell didn’t send anyone to follow Audrey. Someone just sent him a photo of her and Henley in a cafe when he went to the bar to look for her.
In the photo, Audrey’s and Henley’s fingers touched, and they looked at each other affectionately. Anyone who saw it would feel the intimacy between them.
The more Cornell thought about it, the angrier he became. He propped one hand against the wall and shouted angrily, “Have you already forgotten that you are a married woman? Can’t you wait until you are divorced before you flirt with another man?”
Audrey was pissed off by his words and retorted, “What about you? Do you remember that you are a married man when you flirt with Cecilia?
You and Ceci..
Audrey didn’t finish what she wanted to say because Cornell pressed her against the wall, pinched her chin, and kissed her hard.
Cornell didn’t want to hear Audrey defending Henley or any other men.
He didn’t want to hear even a single word.
Since Audrey’s back was pressed against the cold wall of the bathroom, she had no way to escape. Besides, she still felt weak after retching up just now. So, she had no choice but to let Cornell do whatever he wanted.
At this moment, she felt useless. Cornell bullied her all the time, but she could do nothing.
Tears kept falling down Audrey’s face uncontrollably. For her, they felt salty and sweet at the same time. But when Cornell tasted them, he seemed to be irritated.
