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.
“Secondly, we won’t interfere with each other anymore. I won’t meddle in your business, so please stay away from my private life. Also, stop using my friends and other acquaintances to threaten me.
And thirdly…”
Audrey hesitated for a while before she finally said, “Before we officially divorce, I hope you won’t make other women pregnant. I can’t accept it, neither Kyler and the others. So I hope you can take precautions when you are with other women.”
It was actually hard for Audrey to say those words. But still, she had to make it clear to Cornell.
She didn’t want the father of her child to have children with other women during their marriage.
Audrey had no plan of telling her baby Cornell was the father, but she still didn’t want her baby to have illegitimate siblings.
When she was silent, Cornell said coldly, “Is that all? So, what do you want to hear from me? Do you want me to wish you a happy life with Henley?”
Audrey frowned.
“Cornell, Henley and I…”
“Have you ever thought about what would happen if my grandfather knew about it? You even disregard my grandpa’s condition for that man,”
Cornell interrupted, not giving her a chance to finish her sentence.
Audrey looked at him with mouth agape with incredulity.
She thought he was so ridiculous.
What did Henley have to do with Kyler’s condition? How could her interactions with Henley endanger Kyler’s health?
As far as she could remember, Kyler had never prevented her from making friends and hanging out with them.
Audrey wanted to refute him, but she thought it was meaningless to argue with him. Instead, she offered a solution.
“Kyler won’t know anything if you don’t tell him, right? Don’t worry.
I will help you conceal your relationship with Cecilia. Then we can avoid any trouble.”
Cornell sneered. For the first time, he was so annoyed by Audrey’s thoughtfulness.
Audrey, on the other hand, had no idea what Cornell was thinking.
However, she saw that his face darkened even more. Suddenly, she remembered what Luis told her about Cornell’s injuries.
She didn’t want to provoke Cornell, so she said in a low voice, “I’m getting off the bed now.”
Audrey was about to get out of bed when Cornell suddenly pulled her into his arms. He grabbed her chin with one hand and forced her to face him.
“Do you really think you can get out of my bed that easily?”
After saying this, he lowered his head and bit her lips fiercely and ruthlessly.
Audrey’s back was against Cornell’s chest, but her face was held up by his hand. She was in a very uncomfortable position.
She couldn’t help groaning in pain. She still resisted, but she didn’t dare to push him hard.
But Cornell ignored Audrey’s resistance. Obviously, he didn’t intend to let go of her.
He even pinched her harder and forced his tongue into her mouth. It was as if he wanted to suck up all the air in her mouth.
Audrey’s face flushed. She managed to suppress the tears that were about to fall.
She wanted to hit Cornell, but his injuries stopped her from doing so. She was afraid his wound would open up. In the end, she could only pinch his arm hard.
Cornell grimaced in pain. But Audrey’s pinch was not enough for him to give up. He ignored it and kissed her more aggressively.
This time, Audrey could no longer hold back her tears. As they fell uncontrollably, she looked anxious and helpless.
When Cornell saw this, his heart ached. He couldn’t keep hurting Loy like so he let of her. He said in a hoarse this, go voice, “Honey..
Audrey was stunned when she heard him call her this way. The tears hung in her eyes, threatening to fall.
He rarely called her this way.
As far as she could remember, the last time he called her “honey” was on their wedding night.
What did Cornell mean this time?
Cornell gently held Audrey in his arms and sighed softly, “Stop fighting with me. I’m still in pain, you know.”
His voice was full of grievance.
Audrey was stunned for a while. It was her first time seeing Cornell this emotional.
While she looked at his face, it seemed the strings in her heart were tugged inadvertently.
Audrey was still lost in thought when Cornell kissed her again. But this time, he was very gentle.
He planted a kiss on her forehead. Then his lips moved to the tip of her nose, down to her lips, and to her neck.
Then he said solemnly, “I have never kissed other women.”
His hands became restless. He held Audrey’s hand, put it on his chest and then on his private part. He looked at her affectionately.
“Here and here, you are the only one.”
“What…”
