Time passed, and the night grew.
Hailey sat on the sofa like a sculpture. She raised her stiff arm and looked around her wristwatch. It was already two o'clock on the morning.
She had been waiting for nearly ten hours, bit Nikolai still did not come back.
Didn't he always want a divorce? She has agreed to divorce him, why didn't he come back home and have a proper tàlk with her?
Before the divorce, she just wanted to ask him why he had always become the way he was. A long time ago, he used to treat her gently and lovingly...
Hailey looked at the bowl of noodles on the table that she had carefully prepared for him. She then turned to look at the dark and quiet yard outside the house. The feeling of disappointment washed over her.
After a long while, she slowly got up, turned around and prepared to head upstairs.
Suddenly, the rumble of a car engine fame from tbe front yard of the mansion. The sound was clear and loud in the dead night. Hailey thought that she was dreaming.
She turned around abruptly and her gaze met that of a dark and chillingly grim eyes.
The weigh in her heart instantly disappeared, and she was stunned. Then she immediately came to her senses and said happily, "Nikolai, you're back"
Nikolai stood at the door with a sombre aura around him. "What on earth are you trying to do?"
Hailey pretended not to notice his cold expression and smiled, "Nikolai I have cooked noodles for you. Please finish them, then we can talk alright?"
She walked to tbe dinning and picked up a bowl of noodles. She froze for a moment and said, "This noddle is cold, I'm getting you another bowl"
She was about to walk into the kitchen
"Stop right there!" Nikolai strode forward and called out to her coldly, "Hailey George, I don't have tbe patience to play your game"
Hailey lowered her head, there was a bitter smile on her lips, "Nikolai,I just want to have a proper me al with you. Don't you love noodles with a poached egg and some vegetables? I will get you another bowl of noodles right away, give me five minutes"
She rushed into the kitchen hurriedly.
The look in nikokai's eyes became increasingly grim. They had been married for three years but he had rarely come home to dine with Hailey.
He had never told anyone that he likes eating noodles, let alone this sly woman!
But she seemed to investigate so much about his food preference!
There was a bitter glint in nikokai's eyes. Just as he turned around and was about to walk off, he smelt a faint sandalwood scent.
This fragrance was strangely familiar....
Nikolai thought, "why can I smeel.this scent here as well?"
"Nikolai, the noodles are ready, why don't you come over and taste them?"
Hailey came put of the kitchen with a bowl of hot noodles in her hand. The steam hovered around her face and cast a soft glow on her.
It was a dazzling sight and Nikolai found it painful to look at.
Didn't she say she wanted a divorce? But now, she is trying to please him with noodles. What was she up to this time around?
He reached out his hand and abruptly grabbed her chin. "Hailey George, are you trying to go back on your words?"
There was a sharp pain in Hailey's jaws. She frowned in pain, "Nikolai, I just want you to taste the noodles I made"
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red.
All those years ago he had lost his eyesight, but she was always on his mind.
Now, he could see the whole world but now, he didn't even bother to spare her a glance.
Did he really forget about the sweet memories they shared?
He used to tell her that his favorite food was the noodles she made. Was it a lie?
Her eyes were teary and her gaze on Nikolai became more and more mournful.
Nikokai's heart skipped a beat but he still stared at her coldly, "Do you think I will design a wedding dress for you if you try to please me with a bowl of noodles? You're too naive"
"Nikolai, take a bite....Just a bite.... Okay?" Hailey begged in a soft voice. Nikolai gnashed his teeth. He could not help but frown deeply.
He remembers vaguely that whenever he came home, even though he seldomly did, she would make him a bowl of noodles.
But in the past three years, he had never had the chance to taste the noodles that she cooks.
Thinking of this, his eyes fell on the bowl of hot noodles, and his stern expression wavered slightly.
His hand that was grabbing Hailey's chin let go of her subconsciously.
Just as Hailey thought he was finally willing to taste her noodles, she suddenly heard a ringtone. It was like a ring alarm.
It was Nikolai's phone.
He took a look at the caller ID and immediately answered the phone.
"Nikolai, bad news! Come to the hospital now, Agnes tried to commit suicide...."
Nikolai Coke facial expression instantly darkened and became grim and murderous.
"Hailey George!"
His face was as cold as icicles, and the air around him became oppressively chilling.
"What did you do to Agnes? Why did she try yo take her own life?"
Nikokai's words were as sharp as sword. They pierced into Hailey's fragile heart without mercy.
Her lips upturned as she looked at the man in front of her with a bitter smile. "If I sat it has nothing to do with me, will you believe me?"
Nikolai gave her a dark look and quickly walked towards the door.
"Nikolai!" Hailey called out to him and immediately blocked his path, "Do you really believe that Agnes will commit suicide? It was perhaps just an act!"
Nikolai replied without a second thought, "Do you think she is as sly and wicked as you?"
Hailey froze. She seemed startled...
Sly and wicked? Was it what he thought of her for the past three years?
Nikolai did not want yo waste time dealing with her. He took a step forward and was about to leave, but Hailey refused to give up on her last chance.
She gritted her teeth and held unto his arm stubbornly, "Nikolai, please don't go..."
She saw that he was only a few steps away from the dinning table. All she could say was, "Nikolai, no matter what happens, can you at least finish the noodles before you leave?"
It was so close, Nikolai almost tasted the noodles she made.
Once he eat the noodles, he would recall all.tne memories that he had lost...
However -
"Crash!"
Nikolai picked the bowl of noodles and threw it to the floor.
"Hailey George, you're such a wicked woman!" Nikolai glared at her and shoved her into the floor, "Agnes is your younger sister and she has committed suicide. She is dying. How could you be so indifferent to her suffering?"
After he said that furiously, he slammed the door and left.

Hailey fell to the ground weakly. The porcelain shard of the boek pierced her palms,but she seemed to numb the pain. She stared at the man who rushed out of the house.Suddenly, blood gushed up her throat and she couldn't help but to vomit on the floor. The blood turned the carpet red.Nikolai left her for Agnes, again....Hailey thought, what was I trying to do just now?She actually expects Nikolai to believe her and doubt Agnes....it was very silly of her to have high hopes of winning him back.Hailey sat in the living room for the whole night. As time passed, the sky finally brightened and sunlight shone into the house."Hailey, are you in there? Open the door!"There was a loud and abrupt knock on the door, she heard her mother's voice.Hailey was surprised. She hurried over to open the door.After she married Nikolai, she had moved into this mansion. She had lived here for three years but not once has her mother come to visit."Hailey, something bad happened to Agnes!"As soon a
Hailey was the eldest daughter of the George's family, a woman once famous for her beauty in Manila city. Three years ago, she married Nikolai Coke, the heir of the Coke's family, and became Mrs Coke.Rumors had it that President Nikolai didn't want to marry her as at that time. But she did something that made Old Master Coke favour her, and so he forced President Nikolai to marry her.However, rumors had it that after President Coke married her, he never went home again.As it seemed, President Nikolai really disliked his his wife.The secretary ushered Hailey into the office with a complicated look on her face.Nikolai put down the documents in his hands and stared coldly at the woman who entered his office.In tbe part three years since they got married, this woman rarely showed her face around him because she knew that he abhorred her.But in the past few days, she had appeared before him too frequently. She either seduced him or beg him to eat noodles. Now, she even came to his c
Agnes cried as she panted and threw herself into Nikolai's arm. Nikolai lifted her in his arm and glared at Hailey, who was sitting on tbe floor with disgust. This woman was wicked as always! Earlier on, he even pitied her and thought of designing a wedding dress for her. How could he be so stupid? "Hack...H..ackk..." Hailey covered her mouth immediately. She was afraid she would cough out some blood, so she covered her mouth tightly. There was a sudden pain in her lower abdomen, and she felt something warm gush out of her private part. Her face turned pale in horror. She grabbed the hem of Nikolai's pant and said, "Nikolai, hurry up, take me to the hospital...." She had vomited blood before, but now, even her lower abdomen began to bleed. Was she going to die soon? She was ready for death, but it still came too fast. Did it mean that she would never get to see the wedding dress Nikolai design for her? She refused to accept that. No, she must hold on till the day she put on tbe
The pain in Hailey's abdomen gradually subsided. She got up from tbe ground while holding the walls for support. She looked at the tower, which was a skyscraper Just like the tall building, Nikolai Coke was beyond her reach.All her wildest fantasy and unforgettable memories were reduced to rubble after being married to him for three years. Fortunately for her, everything was coming to an end soon ...Hailey was in a daze when she hailed a taxi. She wanted to go to the hospital for a medical check up, but she was afraid that she would receive more bad news.Eventually, Hailey went home. She was utterly exhausted and she fell asleep the instant she layed on the bed. By the time she woke up, it was already dusk. She took a shower and changed her clothes, which write stained with blood. Then she went downstairs to pour water for herself only to find out that tbe light in the study were on.The warm yellow light trickled down from the door gap, and she thought she was hallucinating. Sh
When Hailey woke up, it was already the next day. She looked at the empty sitting room and suddenly sat on the sofa. She quickly ran upstairs towards the study. She pushed the door opened to the study only to see a cup of unfinished coffee and a trash can filled with discarded papers. She knelt on the ground, poured out the discarded paper and unfolded them one by one. Each piece of paper contain a sketch of wedding dress. Some of them were half completed. Some had a veil.... As it turned out, everything that happened last night was not a dream. Nikolai was indeed designing the perfect wedding dress she dreamt of. Hailey smiled and put the discarded papers into the drawer of her own desk, as though there are her own treasure. When she was about to close the drawer, she saw a document in there. The smile on her face gradually became sorrowful. It was the document that her company had filled for it's company market stock. By Her is a jewelry design company that she founded. It had
Agnes held unto a corner of the design draft, and the look on her face was sullen. "When you married Nikolai, you didn't have a wedding dress or a wedding. You can't blame it on me. It's your own problem you can't win his love. Why are you trying to snatch the draft from me? Let go of it!"Hailey was clasping another corner of the design draft in her hand. She felt a sharp ache in her heart.This wedding dress belongs to her!It was the wedding dress she dreamed of since she was a child!Nikolai was the one who promised to design it for her!Why....why did the wedding dress become Agnes belonging all of a sudden? Her parents, her wedding dress and even her husband had become Agnes's! Seeing that Hailey refused to let go, Agnes burst out in rage."Hailey, since you were young, you have always competed with me for everything. You wanted to win the attention of mom and dad. You wanted to run the George's family business, and you want Nikolai's love. Now, you even want to steal the wedd
Hailey refused to check into the hospital. The child inside her has just starting to have heatbeats. She didn't want it to smell the pungent smell of the disinfectant inside the hospital everyday. Even if she was in such in an awful condition, she wanted to provide the best prenatal care for her child. Hailey parked her car at the front of the mansion. When she was about to get out of the car with the drugs Sky prescribed for her to relieve the symptoms of her illness, she saw that the lights in the house were on. She looked at the yard and saw a black car in there. Nikolai who had never returned home in the past three years had come back again. There was a faint smile on Hailey's lips. She tossed the medicine container onto the driver's seat, opened the car door and stepped out of the vehicle. "You're back? " Nikolai's grim voice startled Hailey a bit. As it appeared Nikolai was waiting for her to appear home. But then she would have been ecstatic. She would gawk at the man sh
"Nikolai Coke, let me go!" Fear flashed in Hailey's eyes. She knew that Nikolai was not interested in her sexually or romantically. Otherwise he wouldn't have let her untouched even though they have been married for three years. She even had to drug him in other to make him sleep with her. But why was he so violent now? Was he trying to rape her just because he suspect that she is having an affair? "Nikolai, stop it!" Hailey's voice was trembling. "We are already divorced. You can't touch me" Her words made Nikolai become rough and more violent. In other to win his love, this woman would stop at nothing and she eventually became Mrs Coke. But now, she would definitely stop at nothing, just so she could get a divorce and be with her lover. Nikolai was so furious that he had completely lost his mind. He tore Hailey's skirt, unbuckled his belt and hurriedly climbed on her. Hailey covered her abdomen and tried her best to escape, but Nikolai managed to catch her and hold her dow
