Henley frowned upon hearing this. Of course, he didn’t want to leave Audrey alone with Cornell. He was afraid that she would be bullied by Cornell.
Matteo must have understood Henley’s hesitation. He smiled and said, “Mr. Brooks, Mr. Clement and Mrs. Clement always argue with each other, but it’s nothing serious. As an outsider, you’d better not get involved. It’s a family affair, so let them deal with it themselves.
Besides, it’s not a good thing to provoke Mr. Clement, right?”
Henley didn’t say anything. It was hard to tell his emotions behind his misty glasses. He looked at Cornell and Audrey for a moment, turned around, and left.
Cornell only let go of Audrey when he heard Henley’s car drive away.
Audrey was so angry that her whole body trembled. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Then she raised her hand without hesitation to slap Cornell.
But before her hand could touch him, he grabbed her wrist in time.
He stared at her with cold eyes as if he wanted to devour her.
He had already warned her not to hit him for other men. Had she forgotten it already?
Cornell gritted his teeth and said harshly, “Audrey, are you really this hungry for this man? It has only been a few hours, but you already can’t wait to see him?”
Cornell’s words were like a sharp knife piercing Audrey’s heart.
Mixed emotions of anger and pain overwhelmed her. Her entire body couldn’t stop shaking.
When Cornell saw Audrey’s pale face, he had already realized that what he said was inappropriate. But the scene of her seemingly intimate moments with Henley just now kept rewinding in his mind.
And he found it very unacceptable. For him, Audrey could only belong to him.
He would never allow other men to touch her, let alone take her.
What Cornell said only made Audrey hate him. She was painful and aggrieved at the same time. Her eyes turned red, and she shouted angrily, “What did you just say? I am a cheap woman? Yes, you’re right! I am cheap!”
Audrey now admitted that she was cheap. If not, how could she be reluctant to break up with Cornell even though she found out about his relationship with Cecilia?
And how could she be flustered and indecisive after Cornell gave her just a little sweetness and tenderness?
How could she be so easily fooled by him?
Audrey wiped the tears off her angry face.
“Cornell, from now on, I won’t care about this damn marriage anymore. And I will never have anything to do with you after the forthcoming divorce.”
Yet, her words further angered Cornell. Choked by fury momentarily, he responded to her with just a snort.
“Are you going to sever ties with me because of Henley?”
After saying this, Cornell suddenly approached Audrey, grabbed her chin, and said fiercely, “Don’t even dream about it. You are mine.
I will never allow anyone to get close to you.”
Audrey was so furious that she reached out to hit Cornell again.
“Cornell, why are you doing this to me? I am a human being. I am not your personal belonging. How can you do this to me?”
“I have all the rights because you are my wife.”
Audrey found Cornell’s possessive words so absurd that she even wanted to laugh out loud.
She was his wife? But in his heart, she was nothing compared to Cecilia.
Every time she and Cecilia had a conflict, he would always side with Cecilia without hesitation.
Suddenly, Audrey felt so exhausted that she didn’t want to argue with Cornell anymore. So, she said expressionlessly, “Cornell, I’ve already made it clear to you this afternoon. I won’t wait for you anymore. Just let me go, okay?”
After saying this, she turned around and left without even looking at him.
She had no idea that as soon as she walked away, the atmosphere behind her instantly froze.
And before Audrey could walk far away, her waist was grabbed by a big hand, and she was picked up. Then Cornell’s cruel voice sounded.
“You want me to let you go? Dream on! I will never let you go!”
He then strode toward his car, threw Audrey onto the passenger seat, and fastened the seat belt for her.
The engine roared, and the car dashed away. Audrey was a little flustered. She subconsciously grabbed the seat belt and asked, “Where are you taking me?”
Cornell didn’t respond. His eyes were focused on the road with a somber face. His expression was darker than the night.
As the car drove ahead, the surroundings got darker and more remote.
There was not even a single street lamp, and no one was on the road.
Audrey was scared. She said in a trembling voice, “Cornell, answer me!
Where on earth are you taking me?”
The car soon pulled up at the gate of Sunny Park.
The view of the sunrise here was breathtaking. And they had been here before.
However, the park was closed in the evening except for some specific days.
With the exclusive pass, Cornell was allowed in easily.
He parked the car on the top of the hill and carried Audrey on the bonnet. With his hands on her sides, he asked, “Remember this place?”
Audrey’s face flushed at first, but then, it turned pale.
On their first wedding anniversary, they had a memorable night here.
Why did he bring her here now? What was he trying to say?
Questions swirled in Audrey’s mind. Out of the blue, Cornell pressed her against the cold bonnet.
She tried to push him away, but she failed unsurprisingly.
Cornell leaned in and planted kisses on her forehead and the tip of her nose before proceeding to suck on her neck. He gave tiny bites to her neck while kissing it.
After a long time, Cornell finally raised his head and looked at her.
There was nothing but lust in his beautiful eyes.
“I’m here to satisfy your needs at any time. Why bother turning to someone else?”
He leaned in again. This time, he bit her earlobe and whispered in her ear, “I know you well, Audrey. No one can know your body better than I do. I’m the only one who knows what position you love.”
Audrey’s face changed instantly after hearing Cornell’s words. It turned out that he wanted to humiliate her here.
Awash with shame and anger, she slapped his chest.
“I don’t want it.
