“That’s what I want to ask you.”
Before Elena could respond, she leaned on Byron’s arm and coquettishly said,
“Darling, what are you having for breakfast? Your baby is also hungry.”
Cora knew that as long as she acted cute, Byron would give in to her demands.
She hoped he could show off their affection as he did in the past.
Unexpectedly, Byron only glanced at her coldly.
“There’s already a baby after last night, huh?”
Cora froze for a moment.
What a boring man!

Elena’s face also turned sullen as Byron’s words seemed to confirm that he had slept with Cora last night.
But Byron continued to stare at Cora.
His deep eyes seemed to possess a strange, penetrating power as if he could see through every inch of her to make up for the four missing years.
Cora hurriedly explained,
“Oh, come on! Lately, young people like to call themselves babies. You got me wrong.”
But in fact, she did have a baby with Byron.
He was already three years old.
But Byron didn’t know, and Cora wasn’t ready to let him know yet.
After all, she was unsure about Byron’s relationship with Elena and his current attitude toward her.
Cora was afraid that if he found out about the child, he might choose the child over her.
She suffered a lot to give birth to Martin, the fruit of their love.
Cora absolutely couldn’t bear to separate from Martin.
If the day ever came when she had to choose between Martin and Byron, she would leave with
Martin…
Noticing Byron still fixated on her, Cora suddenly put on a mischievous smile.
“What’s up? Do you want me to have a baby for you?”
In reality, she was sounding out if Byron’s attitude toward having a child had changed.
If he gave her a positive response at this moment, she would immediately tell him about Martin.
But Byron sneered,
“Not at all. If there is, I hope you get rid of it.”
His icy tone and disdainful look poured cold water on Cora.
She lowered her head downhearted.
It seemed that he did not need Martin’s existence.
Yet, Cora was still trying to find excuses for him.
Perhaps he was still upset about the incident when she pretended to have gotten rid of the child.
The impact of that act had been so great that he still held a
Unable to hold back, she asked directly,
“Are you still blaming me for getting rid of the child back then?”
Her eyes turned red.
But Byron remained indifferent.
“Why should I blame you? We’re unrelated now.”
“Unrelated? Then why did you receive me last night?”
Cora was on the verge of losing control.
The sweet night they shared was still vivid in her mind.
She had thought that such a passionate night would ease their opposing relationship.
“Since you threw yourself at me, why not have some fun?”
Byron replied.
It seemed that Cora’s aggressive approach had instantly killed his appetite. After finishing his meal,
Byron stood up, saying,
“I’m full.”
Before leaving, he told Elena,
“Send her off.”
Elena nodded in response.
As he walked away, Cora stubbornly kept her gaze on his departing figure.
She was reluctant to be left behind and had an urge to catch up with him.
However, Elena blocked her way.
“Miss Lane, this way!”
After careful consideration, Cora finally got into Elena’s car.
In the car, as she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar street view, Cora asked Elena with a choked voice,
“Was he badly injured? I noticed a lot of scars on his body, especially the one on his chest, so long…”
She was indeed angry with Byron for not wanting the child and for being indifferent to her.
But every time she recalled the scars she felt on his body when they were intimately entwined last night, her heart shattered into pieces.
As the scars were still so significant now, she didn’t dare to imagine how terrible his injuries must have been back then.
“He underwent over a dozen heart surgeries and about ten other operations for various injuries,”
Elena replied, causing Cora’s heart to ache even more.
Unable to control herself, Cora burst into tears in front of her rival.
But Elena remained calm and handed her a tissue.
“It’s all in the past now. He has already overcome all of it.”
Then she added,
“As long as you stay away from him, he won’t be miserable.”
Cora tried to defend herself.
“I don’t want him to be miserable.
I…”
They had once loved each other deeply, to the point where he was willing to risk his life for her.
“You don’t need to explain to me. It’s also Byron’s opinion, so please don’t bother him anymore.”
When they arrived at the apartment where Cora used to live, Elena parked the car steadily and looked at Cora with a calm expression.
“Did he ask you to tell me all this, or did you decide to do it on your own? And what’s your relationship now?”
Looking at Elena’s composed expression, Cora asked the question that had been on her mind.
“Can’t you tell? He’s my boyfriend now!”
Elena replied with sarcasm.
“I don’t believe it!”
Cora was firm in her stance.
She couldn’t believe their intense love from four years ago could have vanished into thin air.
“I’ll ask him myself. No need for you to act all high and mighty here,”
she retorted harshly before storming out of the car, carrying her bag.
Watching Cora’s retreating figure, Elena felt irritated and pounded the steering wheel.
Back in her apartment, Cora noticed a message on her phone.
[Cora, how did your talk with Byron go?]
It was from Gabe, who was worried that Cora and Byron wouldn’t be able to come to an agreement and also didn’t want to disturb their reunion.
So, he chose to wait patiently for a text message instead of making a call.
Cora thought for a moment and replied: [It didn’t work out.]
She even felt angry enough to consider returning to Leucrest
Town.
However, as she opened her wardrobe and saw the traces of Byron’s past life that she hadn’t tidied up yet, she decided against it.
Then she closed the wardrobe.
[I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions. I promised to pursue him this time…
