Feeling anxious, she quickly positioned the curtains and lay down.
“It would be your own fault if you got sick from the cold, and you can’t blame anyone else,”
she grumbled, trying to ignore the man downstairs.
However, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
In the end, she became restless and put on a coat, heading downstairs.
The freezing cold wind cut through, and Byron was still ?smoking.
Despite the cold, this was the closest he had been to Cora in so many years.
His heart felt noticeably warmer.
Just then, Cora appeared before him in her yellow sleep gown.
Taken aback, he quickly put out the cigarette before approaching her.
“Cora,”
he said with a more pronounced smile, making his sharply defined face appear even more charming.
But Cora felt that the smile in his eyes was more of a mocking meaning to her, so she didn’t even bother looking at him.
“Hurry back, or…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Byron suddenly kissed her, making her unable to say a single word.
Cora was shocked, widening her beautiful eyes.
Byron tightly held onto her waist, and his eyes still carried a bright smile.
Cora struggled to break free, but he held her even tighter.It felt like she was being deprived of her breath. Finally, he released her, gently caressing her cheek.
“I miss you.”
His low and husky voice, filled with desire, spoke volumes about the intensity of his feelings.
“If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the police,”
Cora said, afraid that she couldn’t resist the allure of his charm if they kept this up.
After making her statement, she turned around and walked back upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Byron followed her to the stairs.
Irritated, Cora asked,
“What do you want?”
In the dim light, Byron’s smile was alluring as he replied,
“There are many things I want to do, but for now, the most important thing is to ensure you get home safely before I leave.”
Cora sighed inwardly.
She didn’t find this man so good at teasing before!
But considering the conversation would never end if she continued retorting, Cora chose to remain silent.
As they reached the front door, Byron suddenly embraced her from behind.
“Cora, can we make up?”
Cora still felt somewhat resistant to his touch. When he hugged her, she almost froze on the spot.
But Byron couldn’t bear to let her go and continued softly,
“Four years ago, we made terrible??istakes. We thought our choices were for each other’s good, but it only led to us being nearly separated by a thin line between life and death.”
The four??ear gap was the deepest wound in both of their hearts.
Mentioning it again now made Cora’s eyes well up with tears.
“I didn’t intentionally avoid coming back to find you. The injuries I sustained four years ago were severe. It took me a year to accept the fact that I couldn’t stand up and another two years of rehabilitation to finally stand up again…
“I also thought about showing up in front of you despite my broken body, but I couldn’t accept it. I was afraid you would look down on me for not being able to stand…”
Byron spoke a lot, repeatedly apologizing for his four??ear absence from her life.
Finally, he said,
“Now that we have overcome all obstacles and reunited, can we stop tormenting each other? We’ve wasted four years, and our lives are already halfway through. If we don’t accept each other now, we’ll grow old…”
Cora’s tears fell like a broken dam, and her hands clenched into fists hanging over her sides.
She never expected that his life during these four years would be so difficult.
For sure, how could such a proud person like him accept the reality of not being able to stand?
If he couldn’t even accept it himself, how could he appear before her?
And back then, if she hadn’t insisted on breaking up, he wouldn’t have fought so desperately to protect her.
Time had passed, and fortunately, they had both survived those hardships.
Cora cried like a lost child, her shoulders trembling.
Byron hurriedly pulled her towards him, gently wiping away the tears from her face.
“Cora, can you give me another chance?”
Cora made a soft sound, agreeing to his request.
Byron immediately lowered his head and kissed her again.
In his mind, countless brilliant fireworks exploded simultaneously.
At this moment, his wandering heart seemed to have found its anchor.
That night, Byron naturally wanted to stay overnight.However, Cora felt uneasy with Sara and William here, not to mention Martin. If they heard any noise, it would be embarrassing, so she firmly disagreed.
Later, Byron was driven back to the hotel by her.
However, ever since being chased back, he had been sending Cora messages non??top, and they even kept the video call on while sleeping.
The next day, Sara got up early to prepare breakfast.
Unexpectedly, Byron arrived even earlier, bringing a special breakfast from a well??nown hotel.
When Cora and Martin woke up, he was still busy taking care of them.
To be honest, Sara and William were quite surprised.
Although they had seen Byron grow up, they had never seen him being so submissive to anyone else.
Especially when Cora was brushing her teeth in the morning, he even helped squeeze the toothpaste as if it was something he should be doing naturally.
This scene also left Martin quite puzzled.
In this household, there was only one person who had received this special treatment before, and that was him.
Curiously looking at them, Martin was met with a warning from Byron.
“What are you looking at? Your mom is the only woman in this home. From now on, we’ll take these responsibilities for her!”
Martin was speechless.
So were Sara and William.Cora seemed to handle the pressure well, brushing her teeth and washing her face calmly under their various gazes as if she had already been accustomed to being taken care of by Byron.
On their way to visit John, Sara took the opportunity while Byron got off the car first with a gift box to quietly ask Cora,
“Have you two made up?”
Cora felt a bit embarrassed, but she nodded.
Seeing her reaction, Sara smiled,
“Actually, it’s good that you two have made up. After all, he is Martin’s father, and this way, your family can be complete.”
“I also agree that you two reconcile. At least it will allow Martin to grow up with both biological parents by his side, without any regrets,”
William added with a faint smile.
As soon as they arrived at the Lloyd Mansion, the servants came out to receive them.
It was evident that the Lloyd family was also a prominent household in Leucrest Town.
The mansion was adorned with sculptures and flower beds, with each landscape meticulously designed.
In no time, the servants led them to the backyard of the Lloyd Mansion.
“Sir Lloyd has been talking about Miss Lane and Martin lately. He will be very happy when he sees you coming.”
“Martin, would you like to have some cake? I’ll make it for you.”
The servant, Mary, seemed to be quite fond of Martin. As they walked towards the backyard, she asked Martin various questions with enthusiasm.
Martin nodded with a smile. He also liked Mary very much, holding her hand all the way.
After winding through several turns, they finally arrived at the backyard.
John was enjoying coffee and amusing the birds.
Mary said,
“Sir Lloyd, look who’s here!”
John turned his head and instantly broke into a smile.
“Martin, come over here! I have something good to show you.”
Martin immediately ran over and even climbed onto John’s lap.
The intimacy they displayed made Sara and William envious.
At this moment, Cora felt a little neglected and spoke up,
“Sir Lloyd, didn’t you see me?”
