To him, she still had a little special place.
So, he would indeed speak up for her.
Evie held her breath anxiously, hoping Byron would teach these people a lesson.
However, after waiting anxiously for a while, Byron picked up a nearby glass of wine, took a sip, and continued chatting withHarry as if he had forgotten about Evie completely.
At that moment, Evie was filled with excitement, and the next second, she felt utterly disappointed.
Annoyed and unwilling, she picked up the bottle of wine Philip had mentioned and began drinking from it directly.
She kept drinking excessively, trying to appear brave, and making others feel excited.
But the others in the private room mocked Evie even more.
“Look at her pretending not to know how to drink. She looks more heroic than us,”
one of them sneered.
“I’ll just say that she pretends not to drink. You see, she is more heroic than us.”
“She thinks pretending to be untouched can attract us, who have already experienced everything. Those TV series tricks are outdated.”
Amidst the cold mockery, Evie drank the entire bottle of alcohol, and her head spun.
She was later carried out by staff after appearing to pass out later in the private room.
In her semi??onscious state, someone seemed to be undressing her.
She opened her eyes slightly and thought she saw Byron.
She murmured,
“Mr. Hansen.”
However, that person seemed impatient and asked,
“Who is Mr. Hansen?”
She wanted to say something, but her mind was still blurry.
Eventually, she lost consciousness altogether.
When she woke up the following day, she found herself beside Elwood, her clothes barely on.
She assumed it was Elwood, whom she had been with last night.
She thought it was Byron.
She felt highly disappointed.
However, she swore to herself that she would make last night’s dream come true one day.
On the other side, Byron went to the Yoris Mansion after the party with Harry.It was already midnight.
The butler recognized Byron as Cora’s ex??usband and Martin’s father, so he reluctantly let him in and opened the door.
Upon entering, Byron went straight upstairs to Cora’s room.
Soon, Byron knocked on Cora’s door.
“Who is it?”
Cora had just finished reading two medical books and was about to sleep.
Just as she lay down, she heard someone knocking at the door.
She thought it might be Sara.
Sara would occasionally knock on her door at this time to check if she was asleep or not. If she were still awake, Sara would prepare a late??ight snack for her.
After waiting for a few seconds without any response, Cora got up to open the door.
To her surprise, the tall, lean man stood right before her.
“Why are you here?”
Cora frowned.
“I came to find my wife. Is there any problem?”
Byron’s words made it evident that he was drunk because ofthe strong smell of alcohol.
Cora was relieved that Sara had persuaded Martin to sleep in her room tonight.
Otherwise, Martin would have been woken up by the drunk man in the middle of the night.
“I’m your ex??ife!”
Cora wanted to say more, but Byron brushed past her and entered the room.
“My ex??ife is still a wife,”
he said, flipping the blanket and lying in Cora’s bed.
“What are you doing? If you’re drunk, go back home. Why come over here?”
Although they had Martin together, they were still divorced.
Getting cozy in a small apartment was fine, but doing the same in the Yoris Mansion might attract unwanted attention.
Cora tried to uncover the blanket to drive him out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted the blanket, Byron pulled her into the bed and pressed her down.
With a gaze that was already showing signs of intoxication, he looked at her with sincerity and said,
“Wherever you are, that’s my home.”
At that moment, Cora felt her anger dissipate.
Even when drunk, this man still knew where his home was.
A person like him wouldn’t do anything inappropriate.
She realized how ridiculous it was for her to be upset about the lipstick marks on his shirt.
She knew he wouldn’t do anything inappropriate. What was she getting upset about?
Having come to this realization, she smiled, and Byron noticed it.
“Why are you laughing?”
He asked, leaning in closer.Their noses were almost touching, and their distance was even more ambiguous than a kiss.
“I’m laughing at how drunk you are, like an old man,”
Cora tried to turn her face away, not wanting the ambiguous atmosphere to escalate.
However, something she said seemed to anger him, and he grabbed her face and said,
“Dare you to call me an old man? I’ll show you whether I’m old or not.”
With that, he kissed her without further ado.
The more Cora struggled, the more he persisted.
Eventually, they forgot about their surroundings and indulged in each other completely.
The following day, Sara brought Martin back after walking the dog.
“Look how late your mommy is still not awake!”
They went to knock on Cora’s door but received no response.
Sara started to worry.
“Cora, are you feeling unwell?”
There was still no answer from inside.
Martin was getting anxious, his eyes turning red.
Sara reassured him,
“Don’t worry. Let’s ask the butler for the spare key and open the door.”
Just as Sara was about to get the spare key, the door suddenly opened from inside.”Cora.”
Sara was about to say something, but when she looked up and saw the tall man in front of her, she was momentarily stunned.
Byron, however, remained composed.
“Mrs. Sara Yoris, Cora slept late last night and hasn’t woken up yet.”
Sara nodded, still feeling a little bewildered.
Byron added,
“I’m sorry for coming late last night and not greeting you and Mr. William Yoris.”
Sara’s mind was in turmoil, but she soon regained her composure.
“It’s alright. Let’s go downstairs for breakfast.”
Byron replied,
“Okay.”
Byron bent down to hold Martin’s hand, but he pulled away.
“Martin was just worried about Cora. He’s not angry with you,”
Sara explained.
But as Byron watched Martin run away, he said,
“It’s okay. He has every right to be angry with me.”
Byron had been absent from Martin’s life for four years, and making up for that lost time wouldn’t happen overnight.
