CHAPTER 394: CHAPTER 394: THEN I’LL START LOVING YOU TOMORROW

Audrey Sutton lowered her eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, then lifted her gaze to him with a hint of determination. It was as if she had made up her mind, she looked at him and said, "I want to divorce you."

Shane Warner furrowed his brow upon hearing her words; her tone and the way she was looking at him now were neither a joke nor spoken in anger. She was truly psychologically prepared to divorce him.

At that moment, Shane Warner’s heart was a mix of emotions.

He wondered how he could have pushed a girl, who had loved him for so long, to the point of asking for a divorce.

Of course, his answer was "no."

He deliberately made his tone relaxed, as if having a casual conversation, and asked her, "What’s wrong?"

Audrey Sutton looked at him, her heart seemingly wavering a bit, and she had a bellyful of complaints to accuse him.

She thought of many cruel and venomous words, initially wanting to vent, but now seemed reluctant to speak ill of him.

She adopted a demeanor and tone of amicable separation and said, "Loving someone is exhausting, you can’t understand how I feel at all. I don’t expect anything anymore, after all, we’re husband and wife for a time. I don’t want it to end too embarrassingly, let’s part peacefully."

But Shane Warner seemed not to have heard what she said, asking her a seemingly irrelevant question, "Then how about being loved by someone?"

Audrey Sutton froze for a moment, lowered her gaze and coldly laughed a bit, her tone slightly mocking, "...I don’t know, you’ve never loved me."

He said, "Then I will start loving you from tomorrow."

Audrey Sutton’s heart throbbed slightly, her eyes widened greatly looking at him, and a small dark angel in her mind said, "Don’t believe his honeyed words, he won’t love you."

She resisted the feeling and once again froze her softened heart into a hard ice block, turned her back to him wrapped in a quilt, and said, "Stop with the useless talk, pack your things and leave quickly!"

Shane Warner turned and zipped up his suitcase, carrying it to the doorway, stood at the door and looked at Audrey Sutton wrapped in blankets, and said, "This time, it’s my turn to chase you."

"Click—" The door shut.

After a couple of seconds, she heard his footsteps heading downstairs, and only then did Audrey Sutton turn her head, staring at the closed door for a few seconds, then pulled the quilt over her head with some annoyance.

Downstairs.

The group was sitting in the living room sofa discussing the situation upstairs between the two. Hazel Yates noticed Shane Warner coming downstairs, lightly coughed to alert everyone.

Several pairs of eyes then watched Shane Warner coming downstairs with a suitcase, everyone looked at each other, and Hazel Yates got up and went to ask Shane Warner, "Shane, are you ready to leave? There must be a lot in the company that needs handling, right?"

Shane Warner smiled and explained, "Not going back, Audrey found a vacation rental for me, said the scenery there is nice, moving me over to experience it for a few days."

Everyone: "..."

This reason was so flimsy, even the elderly grandparents didn’t believe it.

But no one exposed Shane Warner, not wanting to embarrass him, Hazel Yates awkwardly laughed and said, "Ah, yes, the rentals on the island are quite good, since you’re here, you can experience them, come back to the house for dinner tonight."

Shane Warner politely smiled, nodded, "Mom, Audrey will be in your care for these days."

"No problem, with so many people at home, we can take care of her. You clear your mind well, which vacation rental are you at? Need Dad to drive you over?"

"No need, just lend me a car, I’ll drive over myself."

Hazel Yates immediately turned to Samuel Sutton, and Samuel Sutton retrieved the car keys from his pocket, Hazel Yates took them, handed them smilingly to Shane Warner, and escorted him to the parking area.

Once Shane Warner got in the car, Hazel Yates stood by, speaking with heartfelt concern, "Shane, bear with it for now, once Audrey feels better, Mom will talk to her for you."

"Mom, it’s my fault in the first place, it’s right for her to be mad at me, the most important thing now is her health; other matters can wait."

Hazel Yates nodded, "In such circumstances, it’s normal for her mood to be bad, just be more tolerant with her, don’t antagonize her over this."

"Mom, I know, I’ll come by to see her tonight."

"Alright, take care on the road."

After watching Shane Warner leave, Hazel Yates walked back inside, everyone was clustered at the door looking curious.

Old Fourth muttered, "What’s going on with this couple?"

Hazel Yates sighed, smiled, "You all know Audrey’s personality, with such a situation she feels bad inside, she can only vent to Shane, it’s good to have an outlet for her anger, better than bottling it up."

Audrey Sutton stood by the window, shielding herself with the curtain, watching Shane Warner drive away.

She realized she still couldn’t be as stone-hearted as him.

Though she pushed him to leave, seeing him truly leaving still made her heart feel a bit blocked.

She was truly prepared to separate when saying "divorce," but to say she felt no reluctance at all was impossible.

After all, he was the man she deeply loved.

Now it’s not that she no longer loves him, just realizing this love can’t bring her the outcome she wants, so she chooses to hide this love again deep in her heart.

Hearing footsteps outside, Audrey Sutton came back to senses, hurried back into bed, just tidied the quilt when Hazel Yates entered holding something.

"Grandma made bone soup, Mom brought it up for you to try."

Audrey Sutton sat up, reaching for the small soup bowl her mom handed, blew on it lightly, sipped a small mouthful, smiled and said, "Grandma’s soup smells great."

Hazel Yates smiled, "Then drink it up, I’ll get you more afterwards."

Audrey Sutton nodded, continued sipping the soup.

After several attempts to say something, Hazel Yates started probing, "...I saw Shane with a suitcase leaving, does he have something urgent to handle back home?"

Audrey Sutton paused, replied, "I don’t know about him."

Kept drinking soup.

Hazel Yates deliberately said, "You’re just discharged, whatever he has should take care of you first, can work be more important than a wife? Previously Mom thought he was considerate, didn’t expect he’d leave you alone under such circumstances, very unlike him."

Audrey Sutton tilted her head back, drank the soup, placed the empty bowl on the bedside, and said, "I told him to go."

Hazel Yates feigned surprise and confusion, "You told him to go?"

Audrey Sutton paused saying, "Mom, I plan to divorce him."

Hazel Yates froze, initially intending to persuade Audrey Sutton, but didn’t expect her to mention "divorce," realizing the seriousness, Hazel Yates sat by the bed, preparing to have a serious talk with Audrey, saying, "Marriage isn’t child’s play, you can’t use it to vent anger."
