Cora asked instead of answering,
“Do you need anything?”
Her cold voice made Byron feel inexplicably alienated.
Byron frowned.
“I can’t find you if I don’t need anything?”
He didn’t say he wouldn’t go to her tonight because he found Cora looked strange.
Usually, she should be busy in the hospital at this time, but today, she was outside.
“No. We are neither married nor in a relationship. We are just friends with benefits and take what we need. Don’t come to me whenever you want and let others misunderstand our relationship.”
Maybe it was because of liquid courage. Cora spoke out everything hidden in her mind.
But Cora didn’t know what she had said hurt Byron. He looked extremely unhappy, as if a disaster would come.
Cora didn’t even know Byron had a video call with her in a multi-person meeting room.
So, her remarks to Byron just now reached the ears of all the executives in the meeting room.
Suddenly, silence filled the air in the meeting room, and they could even hear a needle drop.
The executives even looked at each other. They didn’t expect Byron, who looked cool and aloof, to have a sexual partner.
The point was that his sexual partner seemed not to like Byron and was very disgusted with his proactive contact.
It was true that looks could be deceiving.
But because of this, the executives were very curious about the woman on the other end of the video and wanted to see what kind of woman could make Byron get close to and dare to reject Byron so boldly.
“Are we just friends with benefits in your mind?”
Byron didn’t notice the change in the executives’
expressions but questioned in a cold voice.
But his innate deterrent force caused the temperature in the meeting room to drop sharply, making those executives unconsciously put away their gossip expressions, but there was a huge wave in their hearts.
In their eyes, Byron was rich and powerful. If he really had something to do with a woman, he should be the one who had the upper hand.
But listening to Byron’s dissatisfaction in his questioning, they felt Byron wanted the woman so badly but couldn’t have her.
“Aren’t we?”
Cora didn’t face the camera but looked at the place where the water and the sky met with watery eyes.
But she didn’t know that her drunken eyes were lustful, and she looked like an easy target in Byron’s eyes.
It was just like when she took the initiative to embrace his waist in the Perpetual Daylight bar.
“Where are you?”
He decided not to argue with the drunk now.
Cora ignored him. But when Byron heard the whistle of the ferry docking, he frowned more tightly.
“Coldale Ferry?”
“How do you know?”
Cora wondered, but she didn’t say anything.
“Wait for me where you are, and don’t hang up the video,”
Byron said, got up with his phone, and strode out of the meeting room.
When he passed by Carter, Carter dutifully reminded,
“Mr. Hansen, the meeting is about to begin.”
“You chair the meeting for me.”
Then Byron left without looking back.
As soon as Byron left, all the executives gathered in front of Carter to gossip.
“Mr. Pope, who is Mr. Hansen’s sexual partner?”
“Does Miss Yoris know about this?”
“Is she prettier than Miss Yoris?”
Carter pushed down the black-rimmed glasses expressionlessly.
“If you are so curious, I will summarize your questions and let Mr. Hansen answer you in person later.”
“No need.”
“We’re not curious at all. Really not!”
“Let’s start the meeting. Then we can go home early.”
All the executives quickly ended that topic.
They would never dare to let Byron answer them personally.
Of course, while having the meeting, they couldn’t help but curse Carter inwardly that Carter was indeed Byron’s flunky and never let them take advantage.
At Coldale Ferry, when Byron found Cora, she was hugging a lamppost and dancing like a butterfly fluttering its wings.
She wore a pure white one-piece dress. Although it was not slim, it was light in texture and clung to her body line with the river wind blowing, allowing her graceful figure to be perfectly shown.
“She’s pretty!”
“Look at her flexible waist. She must be sexually experienced.”
“If my wife wiggles like her, I will suspect that the child is not my own if I don’t see her for a second.”
A few eager men were talking about her not far away, but she didn’t know it and was still dancing.
Byron quickly walked past those men, came to her side, and covered her with his black trench coat.
Cora resisted at first, wanting to throw off his trench coat.
“Don’t touch me!”
But Byron stubbornly wrapped her in his trench coat.
“It’s very cold. I’ll take you back.”
His voice was cold, just like the river wind.
“Who are you? Don’t touch my wife.”
Among the men surrounding Cora, one of them had bad motives.
Seeing that Byron was going to take Cora away, he rushed forward angrily.
He thought that Byron was like him, who didn’t know Cora and just wanted to sleep with her.
Cora’s resistance just now made him surer of this, and his greed for her infinitely grew.
But Byron put his arms around Cora’s waist to swear his sovereignty and gave him a cold look.
“If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police!”
At that moment, Byron’s superior aura was undoubtedly revealed.
The man also realized Byron was not easy to deal with, so he could only let go of his dirty thoughts and leave while cursing.
Cora sobered up a lot after the incident, allowing Byron to take her back to the apartment.
Although the winter had yet to come, the cold wind was strong, especially along the river.
Cora had been exposed to the cold air for nearly an afternoon and even drank alcohol. So she was groggy at the moment.
She was cold and wanted to take a hot shower, but she couldn’t do anything. She sat on the carpet beside the couch, hugged her legs tightly, and buried her face deep in them.
“Are you cold?”
Seeing her trembling, Byron frowned more tightly.
It was the first sentence he had said to Cora since he brought Cora into the car.
He really disliked Cora’s use of friends with benefits to describe their relationship, nor did he like Cora dancing, holding a lamppost by the river to attract men.
His irritation billowed in his chest. But when he saw Cora curl up into a ball, the fire seemed to disappear inexplicably.
Without waiting for Cora’s response, he simply picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.
Cora seemed to come alive when the hot water fell on her skin.
The color came back to her pale face.
“What happened? Why weren’t you in the hospital?”
Holding the nozzle of the water heater, Byron showered Cora with hot water.
He wanted to see the clue from Cora’s face, but her eyes were wet, making his mouth dry.
He quickly shifted his gaze to her body, only to see that her skin had turned into seductive pink under the hot water. He couldn’t help but swallow.
But he found Cora’s silence creepy and knew something was wrong. It would be immoral to do something now.
But he never expected Cora, who curled up in the bathtub, to stand on tiptoe and kiss him.
“What happened to you?”
He felt heat rising inside his whole body when he was kissed.
Although he held Cora’s waist, he didn’t go any further.
Cora looked at him with watery eyes.
“Don’t ask me anything now, okay?”
Then, she kissed him again.
