Chapter 44 I've Had Enough of This, Mrs. Heilbronn.
Nathaniel threw the car keys onto the table and slumped onto the sofa. His legs were spread wide apart, and his face was somber.
"That crazy woman downstairs splashed Chelsea with paint," he said, casting a disdainful glance at Aurelia. "Can't you stand up for your sister?"
The mention of Chelsea as his sister made Aurelia feel sick. What kind of sister was Chelsea? She was nothing but a troublemaker, both in their original family and in their current small family.
Chelsea's mother had taken Norman away and destroyed Aurelia's original family. And the man she had protected for three years was now divorcing her for Chelsea's sake.
It was impossible for her not to feel any hatred.
Nathaniel, on the other hand, seemed to be completely taken in by Chelsea's act, thinking that their relationship was great, not realizing that Chelsea was the source of Aurelia's pain. How could she possibly get along well with Chelsea?
How could a normal sister be so intimate with her brother-in-law? Even if they had some history, they would avoid suspicion.
Aurelia smiled bitterly. Nathaniel was still blaming her for being cruel to Chelsea. He always stood on Chelsea's side, trusting her unconditionally.
What could Aurelia use to compete with Chelsea? Chelsea didn't have to do anything. Just by being there, she had already won.
"Mr. Heilbronn, do I do something to upset your girlfriend? If you need, I can apply for a divorce with you right now."
She no longer wanted to be his wife.
Since Nathaniel and Chelsea loved each other so much, Aurelia would let them be together so that the three of them wouldn't be in pain.
Aurelia knew very well that she would be the one most tormented if things continued like this. At that moment, she suddenly didn't want to argue anymore. Aurelia felt that it would be better if she never saw these two people again. She thought it would be good to be an ostrich.
Aurelia gently caressed her belly. She thought that having these two babies in her life was enough. Nathaniel was a luxury that an ordinary person couldn't afford. Getting him would only bring endless torment.
"Why don't we go register for a divorce today?"
Nathaniel looked at the calm woman drinking milk. His breath caught, and his eyes gradually filled with anger. How could Aurelia calmly mention the word "divorce"?
Aurelia no longer appeared in front of him in various ways and clung to him but instead urged him to divorce every day. The strong contrast made him unable to adapt for a while.
One sentence described Nathaniel's current mood the best.
'I can accept that you don't love me, but I can't accept that you suddenly stop loving me.'
Nathaniel feared the most when someone opposed him because he would surely make that person miserable. This was true in business, and women were no exception.
"You want a divorce. Have you found Samuel?"
He squinted as he walked over. The nanny, Betty, wanted to come over and say a few words to persuade them, but before she could speak, she saw Nathaniel pinching Aurelia's chin and kissing her fiercely.
This scared Betty, and she quickly retreated to her bedroom. She was confused.
After enough kissing, Nathaniel bit her lip hard. He let go when he tasted blood. His deep eyes stared at her. He was breathing heavily.
"Are you in such a hurry to divorce because you want to be in Samuel's arms? You're dreaming! I disagree! You and Samuel have no chance in this life or the next."
Aurelia breathed heavily. She couldn't help but laugh. Nathaniel was still mentioning Samuel. In the end, she had given Nathaniel an excuse.
Nathaniel was the one who brought up the divorce, and now he was the one who regretted it.
What exactly did Nathaniel want to do? Aurelia was a little confused about this man now.
If she hadn't seen Chelsea showing affection to him in front of the employees of the Heilbronn Group, she would have almost thought that he had fallen in love with her.
"Nathaniel, what are you thinking? Is divorce so difficult for you? You can rest assured I don't want your property. There won't be any disputes between us."
Aurelia's casual mention of the matter would only fuel Nathaniel's anger.
Nathaniel understood what she meant. She really couldn't wait to leave him.
In any case, he was adored by everyone, but Aurelia wanted to escape from him at all costs.
Was he that bad?
Aurelia's attitude of indifference elicited a sense of defeat within him for the first time.
"Whether we divorce or not is not up to you." He took the recently signed divorce agreement from the study, tore it into pieces in front of her, and scattered it into the air.
The white pieces of paper fell to the ground, just like her carefully organized emotions, which collapsed with them.
Nathaniel could make her defenses collapse with just a few words. Even if Aurelia had prepared herself psychologically for a long time, she was still fragile in front of him.
Aurelia finally finished a glass of milk, but she still felt empty inside.
She suddenly understood why Nathaniel didn't agree to the divorce.
Nathaniel wanted to have both women at the same time.
Aurelia thought, 'Nathaniel, you scumbag!'
"I've had enough. I beg you to make it easy for me. I'll agree to whatever conditions you propose as long as you're willing to divorce."
Aurelia felt powerless at this moment, unsure of what to do. She didn't want to argue with him anymore, and she was almost begging him. As long as she could get a divorce, she could do anything. She was tired of this push-and-pull game.
‘People are not machines, and love is inherently selfish. Which woman can be generous enough to accept her husband being entangled with another woman?’ Aurelia thought to herself.
She didn't have that kind of tolerance.
Her attitude suddenly softened. Nathaniel was quite pleased with this. He liked it when she begged him with red eyes, and it would drive him crazy if it happened in bed.
"Aurelia, don't always think about leaving me. You should think more about how to please me. I can promise you anything when I'm happy."
His arrogant attitude made Aurelia feel humiliated. She realized once again that there was never equality between them.
Her love was too humble.
Aurelia didn't even have the freedom to leave him, let alone any self-respect.
She was like a canary in a cage. Nathaniel would play with her when he was in a good mood and ignore her when he was not.
"What do you want me to do to please you? May I permit you to ask Chelsea over? I can give you the main bedroom. I can sleep in the maid's bedroom downstairs, as long as you agree to..."
The last word was directly blocked by his lips.
Nathaniel's kiss was domineering and fierce. The wound that had just stopped bleeding was torn open by him. He seemed to want to devour her.
Aurelia cried out in pain, which gave him an opportunity.
He smoothly started kissing her, entwining with her as if punishing her mercilessly.
At least for now, he believed that since she could propose a divorce so easily, she must not care about him or this marriage.
"You’d better think about what you're saying. I've provided you with such a superior living condition for the past three years. If you leave me, what other man can give you such a life? Think about your wall full of designer bags and your closet full of jewelry. Look at the entire Imperick. No one dares to be with you. Without me, you have nothing."
He spoke without any mercy, completely disregarding her feelings.
Aurelia's eyes were red, whether from anger or anxiety.
"Nathaniel, I beg you, let me go." She didn't want anything, including her dignity. She was willing to lose everything to escape from him.
"If you beg me, you should show some sincerity. I've said it, please me. I'll agree to anything when I'm happy."
Nathaniel stood up straight. He looked at Aurelia, who was sitting in the chair in a high and mighty manner, his eyes burning with anger, revealing a danger that brought out the worst in men.
Aurelia had been married to him for three years, so how could she not understand what he was thinking?
His sexual needs were always great. Except for Aurelia's period, he would basically do it with her several times a day. In addition to despising her small chest, he was also quite infatuated with her body.
"I'm not in the mood today."
Aurelia lowered her head and twisted her hands, feeling uneasy in her heart.
"Are you on your period?"
Nathaniel suddenly bent down, his warm breath brushing over her ear.
"It's okay. Don't you still have your mouth?"
