Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 16

"What? Let me go!" Christina heard someone calling her.

As soon as she turned around, she was caught by Cory and trapped to the guardrail by the river.

She angrily pushed him away.

"Cory, let go of me!"

"Christina, just calm down.I have something to tell you." He looked at her with complicated eyes and gripped her wrist with his right hand.

"You should leave my cousin..."

"Cory, it's none of your business.We're divorced!" Christina was irritated and was struggling.

Cory looked into her eyes.

"I shouldn't have divorced you.It was my fault that I hired someone to take candid pictures of you at the club that day.But Christina, Patrick is really not a good match for you.I've investigated him.Patrick agreed to marry you because you looked like his dead girlfriend.He only regarded you as that girl's substitute.Besides, when you kissed him that day, he was unwilling..."

"I've told you, it's none of your business!"

She had been depressed and upset for the past two days.

Hearing his words, she was enraged.

"You came here to mock me, didn't you? Cory, I told you, if you dare to provoke me again, I won't be polite to you..." Christina was an expert in karate.

As soon as she spoke, she grabbed his right arm, turned around, and pinned him against the railing.

She leaned forward, trying to teach him a lesson.

Cory was stunned to be suddenly pressed under her.

Unexpectedly, he stepped on a pebble with his right foot...

Somehow, his entire body fell into the river with a thud.

Christina looked at the huge splash in the dark river, dumbfounded for a moment.

"Cory!"

A second later, she screamed in shock at the river.

There were only a few dim yellow streetlights on the bank, and she could not know the situation at all.

"Cory!"

She continued to scream in panic at the river.

"Help, help me..."

Vaguely, she heard a cry for help.

Christina was extremely anxious.

She had never thought of pushing him down the river.

Cory was unable to swim.

She looked nervous.

No matter how much she hated him, she didn't want him to die.

She immediately took off her shoes, climbed onto the railing, then jumped into the river.

"Cory, where are you..."

In February, the river could almost freeze the bone.

Christina shivered in the water but still swam around.

She kept shouting, "Cory, where are you? I'm here to save you...

Under the dim yellow light of the street lamps, she saw some blisters on the right side of the river.

Her eyes lit up and she swam over immediately...

"Cory, hold on"

At this vital moment, she hugged his waist with both hands.

Clenching her teeth, Christina swam with all her might towards the river bank.

There was a trace on the surface of the river.

Christina was anxious and tried her best to drag him ashore.

She patted him nervously on the face.

"Wake up! Cory, wake up.’’ Cory's face was pale.

He closed his eyes tightly and remained unresponsive.

Christina's eyes were red and she was cold to shiver in the night wind.

She continued pressing down on his chest to resuscitate him.

"Cory, wake up! Wake up!"

What if he really died? She shouted anxiously, raising his chin with her right hand and lowering her head to give him artificial respiration.

Soon, the man under her coughed up a mouthful of river water.

Cory opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him with blurred vision.

He called out her name in a hoarse voice.

"Christina..."

Seeing him wake up, Christina was so excited that she was about to cry.

She really thought she had killed him by mistake.

Suddenly, Cory felt complicated in his heart when he looked at her teary and excited expression.

Although he had just fainted in the river, he could feel her upset, anxiety, and worry, which were more moving and charming than other dramatic women...

"Christina, I was wrong.I know I was wrong.I was really wrong.My mother forced me to marry you, but I neglected and hurt you in these three years.I'm really sorry"

Suddenly, Cory tightly held her in his arms.

Their clothes were soaked.

The river and wind were cold, but their bodies were hot.

"Christina, I really didn't betray you during our marriage.Carrie suddenly came to me with a child last two months ago.She's my ex-girlfriend.I didn't know she was pregnant when she went abroad.Now she came back suddenly, so I..."

"I'm sorry for you.Can you give me another chance? I'll take good care of you.I won't mind that you've been raped by turns..." Christina did not react.

She jumped into the river in a hurry to save Cory and was scared out of her wits.

Now her body was cold and her brain was numb.

She was hugged by him so tightly that she did not have the strength to push him away.

Cory's voice echoed in her ears.

He had never confessed to her so gently.

He had been forced to marry her three years ago, and his past sweet words were false, what he said now sounded sincere.
