She scolded herself, feeling remorseful.
Since she had been looking forward to his return, how could she giye up so easily just because of a minor setback?
After much contemplation, she called Jerry.
“I might need to stay here for a few more days. If you’re busy, just let Lucy take care of Martin.”
“It’s alright. I don’t have to be at the company every day. It’s rare that you’re willing to let my godson and me have fun alone, so of course, we’ll make the most of it!”
Jerry chuckled, seemingly carefree.
He asked Cora,
“Is your patient so intractable that he requires you so many days?”
“Yes, it’s quite challenging.”
The difficult part was not the patient but rather the patient’s family member, who resisted her, and she wasn’t sure if he was willing to accept her.
But Jerry didn’t seem to detect this, asking with concern,
“Do you need any help?”
“Can you study medicine so quickly?”
Cora teased.
He replied,
“I don’t want to study those boring things. What I meant was that I could have my grandfather come and help.”
“No need to bother him. I can handle it.”
Cora was about to say something else when Martin approached.
The topic of the patient was temporarily put on hold as they switched to a video call.
“Martin, do you miss me?”
Cora asked.
Martin nodded silently.
Looking at Martin’s face, which strongly resembled Byron’s, Cora couldn’t help but feel emotional.
She had no regrets about keeping this child, even if Byron no longer existed.
Every time she saw her child, all her exhaustion would vanish.
So, she told herself to keep trying for Martin’s sake.
In the evening, Cora arrived at the villa where she had a passionate night with Byron yesterday.
The house was completely dark, and despite pressing the doorbell several times, no one answered. It seemed that Byron
was out.
Cora had thought about going to other places to find him, but she didn’t know his schedule.
Even when she asked Carter, he refused to tell her.
Carter was probably still resentful of her past actions, and she didn’t want to force him to forgive her.
Therefore, Cora had no choice but to wait at the villa:
Meanwhile, Carter picked up Byron from the hotel.
“Mr. Hansen, where do you want to go next?”
Byron had drunk quite a bit tonight and seemed lost.
“Where can I go?”
It wasn’t a rhetorical question. He was genuinely uncertain about where to go.
“Miss Lane asked about your schedule earlier, but without permission, I didn’t tell her anything.”
your
Carter held the steering wheel but secretly observed Byron’s expression in the rearview mirror.
Luckily, there was no obvious change in his expression.
“Yeah, you don’t need to tell her. She’s unrelated to me now.”
Then Carter drove the intoxicated man back to his villa.
However, as soon as the car stopped, they saw a woman squatting at the villa’s entrance…
…
“Mr. Hansen, shall I take you somewhere else?”
Instead of immediately getting out of the car and opening the door, Carter asked Byron.
The latter seemed to have noticed something and quickly looked toward the figure at the villa entrance.
In the dim light, Byron squinted his eyes.
Even before he could react, Cora, squatting in front of the gate, sensed something and looked up toward the car. She quickly covered the distance in a few steps and reached the car.
“Byron, Carter, good evening.”
She smiled at them, seemingly unaffected by the previous cold treatment.
Carter didn’t respond and looked at Byron again, waiting for his final decision.
After a moment of contemplation, Byron said,
“No need.”
With that, he pushed open the car door and got out.
Seeing Byron stepping out of the car, Cora followed suit.

…
“Byron, why are you coming back so late?”
Her smile was still charming and coquettish as if they hadn’t been separated for these past years, as if everything was the same as before.
ause of this, when Cora followed him into the villa, Byron didn’t reject her outright.
Succeeding in entering Byron’s private territory once again, Cora couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
However, when she caught a whiff of alcohol on him, she frowned.
“You shouldn’t have drunk so much. Given your past injuries, you need proper rest.”
She also suggested,
“How about I make you a hangover soup, just like the one I made for you a few times before?”
Her words reminded Byron of their sweet past.
But for all the sweetness they had, the past four years of rebuilding his life alone had been incredibly despairing.
With the influence of alcohol, he suddenly pushed Cora against the wall.
“What do you really want by approaching me with pretense?”
He questioned.
“I’m not pretending. I just want you to come back to me,”
Cora replied with a sweet smile.
As he pushed her, Cora felt pain in her lower back, but she maintained her alluring demeanor.
knew the pain Byron had endured from his injuries far surpassed hers. So she wouldn’t argue with him about it. All she wanted was for him to return to her.
However, Cora didn’t expect that the man who was scowling just a moment ago would suddenly tear her clothes and aggressively come onto her.
His actions were rough and forceful as if he wanted to devour her.
Knowing he was punishing her, Cora accepted it willingly.
Throughout the night, they entangled passionately, pouring out their pent??p emotions, until they finally fell asleep in each other’s arms…
The next morning, Cora was awakened by the doorbell.
When she got dressed and came out of the bedroom, she saw the scene of Elena and Byron having breakfast together.
