novelxo Chapter 1401
It was just after New Year's, and the weather in Madison City was still very cold. It was so cold that a person's breath could turn into ice.
It was especially the case at this hour. It was already nine o'clock at night, and the temperature was ten plus degrees lower than it was in the day. As soon as Audrey walked out of the door, the cold wind was hitting her face like a sharp knife cutting her flesh.
If it weren't for Nordan, that b*stard, who had nothing better to do, she would be at home, watching some TV series with the heater on. She wouldn't have to brave the cold wind out here.
Audrey pulled her down jacket tighter towards her body and planned to hail a taxi. There were not many taxis in such cold weather. All the taxis that were passing by were all occupied. She waited for another ten minutes but she still could not get one.
At this time, the cell phone in her handbag rang again. Audrey clumsily took out the phone and saw that it was Silvia. She was about to answer the call but her phone had unexpectedly turned off because of the extreme cold. "D*mn it!" Audrey cursed.
Audrey, who had always paid attention to her image, was so angry that she swore. She was afraid that Silvia would think she was in danger because her cell phone was switched off.
Just as Audrey was about to put her phone into the pocket to warm it up, a motorcycle sped towards her. The motorcyclist slowed down and snatched her handbag before speeding off again.
Fortunately, Audrey let go of her handbag in time so she did not get dragged away. However, due to inertia, Audrey could not help but totter a few steps. The ground was slippery and she was wearing high heels, so she slipped and fell onto the ground.
"F*ck!" Audrey wanted to get up, but the moment she tried to support herself up, she realized that she had sprained her ankle, which made her hiss in pain. But in the next moment, she could feel a pair of large palms on her back, helping her up and pulling her into a warm embrace.
Nordan pointed at his men and shouted, "I want you guys to go after them. I'll give you ten minutes to bring that man back. How dare they rob my woman? Are they courting death?"
Audrey could not believe that Nordan was this angry because of her. It had been a while since Audrey was being doted on like this. It didn't matter why he was furious, be it his male chauvinism or other reasons. Audrey did not want to think about it anymore. All she wanted at that moment was to enjoy his overbearing gentleness.
However, just as Audrey was immensely touched, Nordan shouted at her, "What the hell are you doing, Sonia? I wasn't watching over you for one second and you got robbed. Do you not know that you will be robbed if you're dressed so alluringly?"
"That's right, I knew that I would be robbed dressing up like this so that's why I did it." Before she could even enjoy his tenderness, Nordan began shouting at her.
Audrey tried to push him away, but she couldn't. Then, she heard him cursing in a loud voice, "You've sprained your ankle and yet you're trying to push me away. Do you want to die?!"
Audrey was already at the verge of a mental breakdown after getting robbed and even sprained her ankle. Now that Nordan was shouting at her, Audrey felt so awful that tears almost burst out of her eyes. However, she did not want to show him her soft side. She wiped away her tears and said, "That's right, I want to die! It's better for me to die anyway, then I won't have to look at your obnoxious face anymore." "What about me that's so obnoxious?" In his entire life, besides his mother, he had never cared about a woman this much. How dare Audrey say that he was obnoxious?
Without saying another word, Nordan carried Audrey into his arms and returned to the room they were at a while ago. At this moment, the room was well ventilated, Audrey could no longer smell the pungent alcohol and cigarette smell.
Nordan threw her onto the sofa and went out without saying a word. When he was outside the room, he gave himself a slap in the face and said to himself, "Since you still care about her, then f*cking be more gentle to her. Would you only be happy if you see her cry?"
Because of her sprained ankle, Audrey couldn't walk by herself. She was afraid that she would get robbed again if she were to go out by herself so the only thing that she could do now was to wait here until the day breaks.
Waiting is always the hardest. Audrey took out her phone from her pocket and wanted to switch it on. She wanted to tell Silvia that she was safe. Just as the phone was switched on, Nordan pushed the door open and came in. At first, Audrey thought he was angry at her so she did not expect that he would come back. Audrey was so scared that her hand trembled and her phone slipped out of her hand and fell onto the ground.
She wanted to bend down to pick it up, but Nordan shouted at her, "Sit down! Don't you dare to move again."
Audrey was so scared that she sat still and didn't dare to move. Nordan was afraid that she would cry again, so he softened his voice. "You just sprained your ankle. You might worsen its condition if you move." Audrey mumbled, "It's none of your business!"
Nordan placed the box in his hand onto the coffee table, and sat beside Audrey. He grabbed her leg with one hand and placed it on his thigh. Then, he took off her high heel and threw it out of the window. Audrey gritted her teeth in anger. "You..."
Nordan said coldly, "From now on, you're not allowed to wear high heels anymore."
Audrey replied, "What right do you have to tell me what to do?"
Nordan held her foot and massaged it before giving it a twist, making Audrey scream in pain. Nordan then said, "Because I'm your man, and you're my woman. My words are final." Audrey was speechless. "Ring..."
Audrey's phone rang out of a sudden. She bent down again to pick it up, but Nordan was one step ahead of her. Audrey noticed that it was Silvia who was calling, so she said, "Give me the phone. I'll answer it."
Nordan put the phone on the coffee table, and while answering it, he turned on the loudspeaker. In the next second, Silvia's voice sounded from the phone. "Audrey, I heard that Nordan had asked to meet you."
Audrey was afraid that Silvia would say anything that Nordan was not supposed to listen to, so she wanted to grab her phone, but Nordan took the phone away before she could even reach it.
Hearing no reply from Audrey, Silvia continued, "Audrey, since you still like him, and can't move from him, you should just make things clear with him. No matter how things turn out, at least you've tried, right? Don't leave any regrets in your life, Audrey."
Audrey said anxiously, "No, stop it, Silvia."
Silvia did not know that Audrey's phone was in Nordan's hands. She thought that Audrey still could not get over it, so she continued to persuade her, "Audrey, you told me that if you love someone, you should cherish them. Don't miss out and regret it later. Now that the opportunity has come to you, don't let it slip through your fingers anymore."
"No, Silvia. Let's not talk about this first, okay? We'll talk about it when we meet up another day," said Audrey.
Silvia said, "Audrey, you were the one who told me all these but why can't you figure it all out like you did when you were telling me all these? Since you still like him, you should tell him how you feel for him." After listening to whatever he needed to listen to, Nordan hung up the phone and looked back at Audrey with a complacent face. "Sonia Delmond... Huh, so you like me? You actually f*cking like me!" Audrey wanted to say no, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. It was an indisputable fact that she liked him.
Nordan was in seventh heavens. "If you like me, you should have just told me earlier. To tell you the truth, I'm really easy to get along with."
