Chapter 75 He kisses Margaret's Lips Forcefully
Raymond grabbed her face with both hands, cutting off Margaret mid-sentence.
Humiliation washed over her like a tidal wave.
Margaret shoved him away, hard.
She slapped him across the face. "Raymond, don't push it."
However, instant regret hit her. Raymond was a creep, a beast; he wouldn't let this slide. But she was so mad, she couldn't help herself.
Raymond's rough hand clamped around her waist.
Before she could react, he yanked her close, pressing her against his abs through his gray shirt.
Even through the fabric, she felt his body heat.
She tried to squirm free, but his grip was iron-tight.
Margaret wedged her hands between them, glaring up at him. "What the hell are you doing?"
His face was red, probably from her slap.
With a mocking tone and a cold smile, he said, "You want a divorce? Spend a night with me, and if you make me happy, I'll sign the papers."
Margaret laughed bitterly, glaring daggers at him.
This Raymond felt like a stranger. Had he been faking it all along, or had she been fooling herself?
Margaret growled, "Raymond, can't we split on good terms? Is humiliating me fun for you?"
Raymond let her go, bent down, and pulled a wet wipe from the box on the table, cleaning his fingers one by one.
Margaret pressed her lips together, smiling bitterly. So he despised her so much he had to wipe his hands after touching her.
After wiping his fingers, he tossed the tissue into the trash, then looked up at her and sneered, "Seems like you're not willing to do anything for that divorce. I've got stuff to do; take your time to think about it."
Raymond turned and strutted out of the living room.
Margaret yelled after him, "Can't you change the condition?"
Raymond didn't look back, just kept walking.
Margaret called out, "Don't you like Sarah? You even took wedding photos with her. Don't you want to marry her?"
She couldn't figure him out.
He was the one who wanted the divorce in the first place.
Now, he was the one dragging it out.
Raymond's face turned dark as he walked away from her.
He kept going down the stairs.
Margaret followed, trying to convince him to agree to the divorce. "Raymond, we're not right for each other. You and Sarah are perfect together.
"I can agree to anything but this. Can't you change it?"
Raymond's face shifted, and he walked even faster.
Margaret panicked and grabbed his wrist. "What do you really want?"
Raymond suddenly looked up, his expression sinister. "You don't know what I want? Margaret, are you really that clueless?"
Couldn't she tell he didn't want a divorce?
He wanted to gouge out her eyes; she had eyes but couldn't see his feelings.
Margaret said, "How would I know? Can't we each give a little and part on good terms?"
She didn't know what she said wrong, but his face darkened. He shook off her hand and looked at her with meaningful eyes. "What else could a man want from a woman?"
Margaret bit her lip, shaking with anger. "Do you have to humiliate me like this?"
Raymond chuckled, "Ms. Hughes, isn't sex what you used to dream of? Or has your lover satisfied you so much that you don't even want to fulfill your marital duties?"
His words cut deep, like a knife to her heart.
Her heart felt like it was being ripped apart.
Margaret gritted her teeth and growled, "Raymond, I'm not like you. I can live just fine without men."
Raymond sneered and turned to leave.
Just as he was about to walk out of The Hughes Manor, he heard a trembling cry from behind. "I agree! Raymond, I agree."
Raymond's body stiffened involuntarily.
He knew Margaret well; she valued her dignity the most. Serving a man humbly was harder for her than dying.
But for the sake of the divorce, she agreed.
Raymond didn't turn around, standing still.
He didn't expect that she would agree.
Margaret walked up to him, forcing back the tears in her eyes. She thought, 'It's okay, after tonight, everything will be over. Just endure a little longer.'
Margaret reached out to grab his hand. "I agree. Don't leave."
But he quickly avoided her, speaking coldly, "Go buy two boxes of condoms."
Margaret pressed her lips together; she knew he was deliberately humiliating her.
Buying condoms was something she never had to do before.
She felt very embarrassed and wanted to ask Alvin to bring two boxes over.
But then she thought, 'He's clearly making things difficult for me. He wouldn't care about my feelings.'
Margaret said, "You go upstairs and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
Next to The Hughes Manor was a large chain supermarket.
She walked to the cashier with her head down, took two boxes of condoms, her face red and hot.
After paying, she put the two boxes of condoms in her coat pocket, walked out of the supermarket, and returned to the Hughes family.
Inside the villa, Raymond had taken off his coat, wearing only a white shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, showing his perfectly toned and sexy arms.
He sat on the sofa, his back straight, holding a cup in his hand.
He took a sip of water, his face cold, as if nothing in the world could make him smile.
Margaret stood there, momentarily lost in thought.
The first time she saw him was when she was a freshman in college.
She was the president of Student Government, busy handling the new students' registration.
Sarah came to find Margaret, bringing Raymond with her.
He was also wearing a white shirt, wrinkled and of poor quality.
But he was gloomy, not at all like a poor student receiving aid.
Not long after, Marlon brought Raymond back to the Hughes family. Marlon not only sponsored his education but also let him live with them.
Marlon privately told Margaret to be nice to Raymond and not to throw tantrums.
He was an orphan, very pitiful, and not to be bullied.
So Margaret took special care of him.
Thinking of the past, Margaret felt a mix of emotions.
She never thought that Marlon's charity and kindness would ruin their family.
Raymond's cold voice brought her back to reality. "Did you buy them?"
She pressed her lips together, nodded, walked up to him, and took out the two boxes of condoms from her coat, handing them to him.
