Chapter 46 Austin, Please

"A-Austin?" Nora stood at the doorway, trying to put on a constrained and aggrieved expression despite feeling extremely jealous.

Both Austin and Queenie turned to look at her almost simultaneously. Instinctively, Austin let go of Queenie's hand and walked toward Nora.

"Nora, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to rest properly?"

"I was worried about Grandpa, and I also wanted to come and see you," Nora bit her lip, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Austin took the things from her hands. Nora leaned into his embrace, her hands intertwining with his arm, clearly claiming him as her own.

When Queenie saw this scene, she wanted to laugh. Nora, as a mistress, still wanted to keep others away from Austin!

Queenie crossed her arms and looked at Nora.

Nora stared at Queenie's delicate face, her jealousy becoming almost uncontrollable. "Austin, is this young lady your friend?" she asked in a coy tone, but a faint trace of hidden fierceness flashed across her slightly pale face.

"She is Queenie," Austin answered truthfully.

Nora was hit by a heavy blow in her mind. She couldn't laugh anymore.

Queenie?! How was this possible! She had seen Queenie before. When Nora first returned to the country, she secretly met Queenie and even intentionally provoked her. At that time, Queenie was ugly and fat, with acne all over her face. Nora thought Queenie was too ugly, let alone someone like Austin who had such high living standards.

couldn't understand why Austin would choose to marry such a woman.

However, the current Queenie, with her exquisite features and fair skin, won over many people even without makeup, with her hair casually tied up. She stood there quietly, becoming the center of attention.

Nora calmed herself down and then forced an unnatural smile. "Oh! Queenie, you had plastic surgery, huh? Your surgery was quite successful." Both Nora and Austin agreed that the new Queenie must have had plastic surgery.

Even if Queenie had plastic surgery, Nora couldn't accept that she could become so perfect, and flawless.

Queenie shrugged, not caring about their perception. She smirked. Then, she became arrogant and said, "Oh, I wonder who it is. Turns out it's the pretentious celebrity. It's been years, and you're still as foolish as ever."

Nora was taken aback. She didn't expect this woman to be so straightforward in insulting her. Her eyes started to well up with tears. "Queenie, after all these years, can't you let go?"

Oh, here she goes again, putting on a performance!

Queenie glanced at Austin. His face turned dark, as if he would strangle her if she said anything more to hurt Nora.

Even after all these years, when Queenie saw Austin protecting Nora, she felt a brief moment of sadness.

"Austin, we're not divorced yet. Are you trying to expose your shameless relationship with her or flaunt your affair in front of me, your wife?" Queenie said as she reached for her phone to take pictures as evidence. It infuriated Queenie the most that the male lead stood on the side of his mistress when she was arguing with his wife.

And, what she said was true, not a threat! Since they dared to do this, she dared to take pictures as evidence.

Nora was dumbfounded.

Austin's long legs moved quickly. He rushed to Queenie and snatched her phone.

"Queenie, are you out of your mind?"

Queenie coldly glanced at him. "If you want to show off your affection, please do it outside. Otherwise, I'm afraid when Grandpa wakes up and sees this scene, his condition will worsen! And, my patience has its limits. Either we divorce immediately and you roll with your first love, or..."

Queenie realized that her train of thought wasn't quite right. Aside from getting a divorce, did they have another option?

As soon as she realized this, she heard Austin gritting his teeth, "Or we don't get a divorce and continue to be together? Queenie, you're just daydreaming!"

Queenie also refused to back down. "Mr. Lewis, you're too confident. Who wants to be with you? As you know, I prefer a different flavor every day. After all, constantly eating the same thing makes me sick. Mr. Lewis, you can go out and interview some women. See if they're willing to foolishly stay with a scumbag like you!"

Austin's face gradually turned pale, and Nora was on the verge of going crazy.

Was this Queenie? She was so articulate, and her thoughts were so clear!

"Austin, Queenie, stop arguing, or you'll disturb Grandpa's rest later," Nora started to pretend to be gentle and caring.

"Queenie, don't be angry. In fact, Austin and I have been worried about you all these years. After you left, we tried to find out about your situation. Moreover, we wanted to send you money for your living expenses. Unfortunately, you didn't leave any contact information."

"You and Austin were originally husband and wife. Moreover, he has always reserved Mrs. Lewis's position for you. As long as you are willing to come back, I can help persuade him," Queenie said speechless.

Nora's acting was really good. However, hehe! Following Nora's words, Queenie said, "Okay then, please trouble Ms. Lewis to help persuade him. If Austin is willing to come back to me, then I can endure the nausea and give him a chance!"

Austin said nothing. He really wanted to strangle this woman immediately!

Nora was directly stunned. She thought to herself, 'What! I was just saying that on purpose. Queenie actually expects me to help her persuade Austin.'

Queenie continued, "Nora, I think if you help me persuade Austin, he will definitely change his mind. After all, you are so kind, sensible, considerate, and generous."

Nora's face turned pale. Moreover, she didn't know how to refute it.

Austin was annoyed. "Nora, you don't need to stoop to her level. She's become arrogant now. She has been outside for a few years and she doesn't even know who she is anymore. You don't have to consider her."

"But Austin, I don't want Queenie to think of me as a mistress!"

Seeing Nora about to cry again, Queenie was bored to the point of yawning. This poor performance really made her sleepy. Moreover, Queenie felt that Nora didn't pose any challenge at all.

Austin patted Nora's shoulder. "You are not a mistress. Only those who are not loved are mistresses."

Queenie instantly felt lost. It was as if her heart had been chiseled with a hole. Yes, only those who are not loved are mistresses! But would she admit it?

"So, can this person that is not loved by you leave then?" Queenie was really angry. Wasn't she pulled over by Austin to see Derek and Mary? "Mr. Lewis, while the person you love is here, call the courthouse and have them work overtime. Let's get divorced."

When Nora heard Queenie's words, she was both surprised and happy. But at the same time, she felt something was off. Then she turned her head and saw Austin's dark and cold face.

Queenie really wanted to leave. She felt sorry for Derek. However, she had to have the consent of the Lewis family to start anew. She planned to leave with her bag, bypassing this scumbag and this despicable woman. Suddenly, a coughing fit started. "Cough, cough, cough..."

Derek, who had been lying unconscious on the bed, suddenly coughed severely, and the white sheet was instantly stained red.

"Grandpa!" Austin and Queenie almost simultaneously shouted, and then immediately rushed to Derek's side.
