His voice was still deep and pleasing, but it sent shivers down her spine.
“Or is it that you call every man darling?”
“No, I only call you by that.”
Cora tried to explain,
“I know I was wrong. I’ve regretted it every moment for the past four years, pushing you away so stubbornly…”
She spoke with tears in her eyes, repenting to him, even wanting to tell him that she hadn’t aborted their child.
But before she could say anything, a woman suddenly appeared ??in front of them.
“Byron, are you ready to leave? We should go!”
Cora suddenly looked up and found it was Elena, the former general manager of Sunda Group, who held great disapproval of her participation in that meeting.
She was wearing a beautiful couture gown, her voice calling Byron sounding rather intimate.
What was the relationship between her and Byron now?
“Byron, what’s your relationship with her?”
Cora couldn’t hold back her doubt any longer.
“It’s none of your business,”
Byron replied and then glanced at Elena.
“Let’s go.”
Elena approached and linked her arm with his.
At that moment, Cora mustered all her strength and reached out to grab his hand.
But Byron forcefully pulled his hand away from her grasp.
His decisive resistance stabbed at Cora’s heart.
He didn’t look back and left with Elena, who was now by his side.
Watching them depart, Cora felt an ache in her heart, almost suffocating her.
But when she thought about everything Byron had done for her four years ago, she couldn’t bear to give up.
So, she followed Byron’s car in her own vehicle.
As she saw them enter a villa community, she followed suit.
Then she noticed that Elena parked in the community, and after Byron got out of the car, Elena drove away on her own.
At least her heart could finally settle down as Elena left.
Still, she didn’t want to leave, fearing this would all turn out to be a dream if she didn’t catch Byron now.
She quickly parked her car, and in the darkness, she sneaked into the villa that Byron had just entered.
However, shortly after she entered, Cora couldn’t find Byron’s figure and was suddenly pushed against the wall instead.
“Miss Lane, your seduction skills have improved over the past four years. How dare you sneak into a man’s house at midnight?”
The familiar male voice made Cora momentarily forget her unease.
“I’m sneaking into my husband’s house, not someone else’s,”
Cora said persistently.
She had already said that as long as he could return to her, she was willing to be the initiative one this time.
As it was just a part of showing her initiative, she didn’t mind being thought shameless.
“I’m not your husband. We’re divorced,”
Byron said indifferently.
Yet he loosened his grip on her hand, which had caused her pain.
Then Cora took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and smiled affectionately.
“Although divorced, we can get married again. As long as I coax you well, you won’t run away.”
Byron looked down at the alluring smile of the woman in his arms, his eyes filled with coldness.
“It’s good to be confident, but being overconfident can be bad.”
“If I’m overconfident or not, your body will tell me,”
Cora said, raising her heels and slightly biting
Byron’s neck.
They used to be passionately in love. Just like how he knew her body, she knew exactly how to excite him.
Soon, Byron’s breath got rapid.
He wanted to push her away, but her touch was everywhere, teasing and seductive.
He finally forced her against the wall, saying,
“You’re asking for trouble.”
But she replied,
“No, I only ask for you.”
Under the dual attack of words and actions, he finally lost control.
He launched an offensive while she willingly yielded…
The next day, Cora woke up with the sun already high in the sky.
When she moved slightly, her body felt like it was falling apart.
She suddenly thought of something and frantically searched the bed for Byron’s presence.
But he was nowhere to be found.
Apart from her, there was no one else on the bed.
Other than the sensual scent left on the sheets, there was no warmth from anyone else.
She felt anxious and uneasy, quickly getting up to search for him.
“Darling?”
“Byron?”
As she was about to rush out of the room to find Byron, the bathroom door opened…
Cora abruptly turned around to see Byron walking out wearing a bathrobe.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed toward him.
“Thank goodness. It’s not a dream…”
She held his collar, her hands trembling.
Over the past four years, she often dreamt of such scenes.
In her dreams, he would come back, and they would be loving as ever.
But every time she woke up the next day, the bed would still be empty, and he would be gone.
The feeling of gain and loss every time drove her to the brink of a breakdown.
But today was different. It wasn’t a dream.
She could still hold him in her arms…
Unfortunately, it seemed that Byron didn’t understand her emotions.
He quickly pushed her away, saying,
“Stop acting. You should go.”
Cora couldn’t help but feel grieved.
But she was still clinging to his past affection and the promise she made when she prayed to God. As long as he returned to her side, she would be the one to devote everything this time.
So she swallowed her tears and continued to persistently lean into Byron’s embrace.
“Byron, I wasn’t acting. I was really scared just now, fearing your return turned out to be a dream.”
She forced a smile and added,
“Thank goodness it’s not, or I wouldn’t know how to face the days without you…”
Byron stared at her red??immed eyes, about to say something.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
The sound brought him back to reality, and he pushed Cora away to answer the door.
Thinking it might be Carter, Cora quickly put on her clothes, in case he would see something inappropriate.
But to her surprise, she heard Elena’s voice.
“Byron, I brought breakfast for you.”
Cora realized what was happening and hurriedly.dressed before heading to the dining room. There, she saw Elena and Byron having breakfast together while chatting, looking like a real couple.
Cora’s heart skipped a beat, but she put on a brave face and approached them.
“What are you doing here?”
Elena looked displeased at Cora’s appearance and behaved like the mistress of this home.
Cora felt uncomfortable as she should be the one to ask this question.
So she sat directly beside Byron.
