Unconsciously, Isidra blurted out,
“Dr. Lane, Mr. Hansen is working now. Holding his hand like this might affect his work.”
Cora was taken aback.
She hadn’t considered that aspect, as she often did these things with Byron even when he was busy.
As she contemplated letting go of his hand, Byron suddenly tightened his grip on hers and gave Isidra a cold glance.
“It’s not an outsider’s business to comment if I’m intimate with my wife.”
The word outsider instantly robbed Isidra of any grounds to speak.
Isidra was speechless.
She wanted to ask Byron why he couldn’t be as accepting of her as he was with Cora.
But with Cora still observing her, a powerful sense of pride prevented Isidra from uttering another word.
In the end, she could only rush upstairs, her heart stinging.
Cora watched Isidra’s retreating figure with furrowed eyebrows.
“Why did you say that to her?”
she asked.
“I didn’t say anything to her. Should I just let her continue meddling in our affairs?”
Byron had long grown tired of Isidra. She was staying in his house and trying to interfere with his relationship with Cora.
It was getting on his nerves.
He would have kicked her out long ago if it weren’t for Cora’s constant persuasion.
“She’s just worried about how she might affect your work,”
Cora said, though she sensed something was off with Isidra’s behavior.
“If you’re not by my side, that’s when it affects my work,”
Byron replied, pulling Cora onto his lap.
As Byron breathed in the familiar scent of Cora, all the weariness from a day of work seemed to melt away in an instant.
Feeling invigorated and with thoughts brewing, Byron felt tempted to k*ss Cora immediately.
But Cora playfully evaded, saying,
“Not here, we might be seen.”Being in the grand estate of the Hansen Mansion, Cora still had reservations about public displays of affection, especially since Isidra had just left.
Byron was well aware of Cora’s concerns. He scooped her up in his arms and headed upstairs.
“I’ll call Vaughn to handle the situation tomorrow. It’s not right for someone to stay at someone else’s home all the time,”
he said with determination.
Cora intended to persuade Byron to wait until Isidra’s competition was over.
She suddenly realized Byron was carrying her toward his room.
“What are you up to? I haven’t had my spaghetti yet!”
Cora protested.
Although they hadn’t held the wedding yet, their intimate moments as a couple were not few and far between.
Byron’s demeanor and b*dy temperature was like a coiled spring, ready to unleash.
“I’ll have someone bring it up later,”
Byron said, advancing toward Cora.
Cora’s b*dy trembled as she yielded to his advances.
Unbeknownst to them, Isidra was hiding around the corner with resentful eyes.
After storming off in anger earlier, she didn’t want to return to her room and be discovered by Georgia.
Little did she expect to overhear Cora and Byron’s conversation and witness their pa*sionate embrace.
It felt like a scene straight out of her dreams but with one crucial difference.
In her dreams, it was Isidra whom Byron was k*ssing, not Cora.
The sharp contrast between fantasy and reality fueled her growing animosity towards Cora.
Isidra even began to entertain the idea that Byron’s unfavorable attitude towards her was all Cora’s doing. Isidra suspected that Cora was playing some wicked games behind the scenes.
In her mind, everything was perfect when she and Byron were enjoying their meal together. How did Cora suddenly appear and provoke Byron’s scolding?
And to make matters worse, when Byron mentioned having Vaughn take her away, Cora didn’t even utter a word in her defense or offer help.
It was as if she couldn’t wait to be rid of Isidra.
The thought fueled Isidra’s determination to get Cora away from Byron’s side.
Suddenly, an idea struck Isidra. A cold smirk formed on her l*ps as she watched the two walk away.
Isidra came back to Georgia’s room after a few minutes.She expected Georgia to be fast asleep in bed after finishing her nighttime routine. To Isidra’s surprise, she found Georgia fully dressed with makeup on her face while engaged in a video call with someone.
“Why have you suddenly become so busy? Is something happening at the company?”
Georgia inquired the person on the other end of the call.
Her tone wasn’t accusatory but rather a mix of concern and a hint of flirtation.
The man’s voice on the other side was tender and affectionate.
He a*sured Georgia,
“I’ll handle everything soon, don’t worry.”
Isidra sensed romance in the air, but it only fueled her jealousy.
“Georgia, who are you video chatting with so late?”
Isidra wondered, perplexed. Hadn’t Georgia just broken up with someone? How could she already be dating someone else?
Moreover, the person on the other end of the call sounded quite appealing.
This unexpected feeling of jealousy welled up within Isidra.
She stretched her neck to glimpse the man on the video call. She was hoping to find some flaws in the man to comfort herself.
However, as Isidra attempted to sneak a peek, Georgia hurriedly blocked the phone.
“What are you doing?”
Georgia didn’t want to reveal her relationship with Efren just yet.
Given their age difference, Georgia wasn’t sure how things would unfold. She preferred to keep their connection private for now.
Furthermore, Isidra had met Efren before. Georgia didn’t want her to inadvertently expose her relationship with Efren by blabbering about it to others.
“I was just curious about what your new boyfriend looks like. Is that such a big deal?”
Isidra retorted, feeling slightly annoyed.
From Isidra’s perspective, she thought it was merely a harmless inquiry. She was showing some interest in Georgia’s new acquaintance.
But Georgia seemed to be overreacting, and that irritated her.
“What new boyfriend? Don’t make things up if you have nothing nice to say!”
Georgia snapped, growing exasperated.
She had only dated one person, Lenard.
Isidra’s comments made it sound like she was promiscuous or had a long history of dating multiple people.
Georgia had just started dating Efren and didn’t want him to get the wrong impression about her.
“I didn’t say anything wrong! You’re being unreasonable!”
Isidra fired back.
She couldn’t see what she had done wrong and felt Georgia was blowing things out of proportion.
“If you don’t want me to stay at your place, just say it outright. There’s no need to nitpick,”
Isidra added, her frustration evident.
Georgia suddenly felt like she was barking up the wrong tree.
Isidra had been residing in her house for a considerable period. She even declined to vacate when Georgia had to travel for work.
Yet tonight, Isidra seemed to have a sudden change of heart and started playing the blame game during her video call with Efren.
“Stop making baseless accusations! How could you move in the first place if I had an issue with you residing here?”
Georgia had placed her phone face down on the bed earlier. She knew Efren was still on the video call and probably listening to their conversation.
Isidra’s words would lead him to misconstrue her as promiscuous, narrow-minded, and couldn’t accommodate a friend in her life.
Georgia regretted letting Isidra move in more than ever at this moment.Isidra felt a more profound sense of injustice.
“I was genuinely concerned when you stayed out all night last time, and we argued.
Today, when I showed interest in your new boyfriend, it sparked another argument. I’m curious, do you think this is nitpicking?”
However, Isidra’s dredging up of past issues could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Georgia started to suspect that Isidra was purposely causing problems between her and Efren after multiple incidents.
“Isidra, you’re a bitch. You’re just miserable seeing others happy. I don’t want to see you around anymore, so get out!”
Georgia’s words cut like a knife. Isidra fetched her suitcase from the closet promptly.
“Now, I won’t stay even if you beg. You’re just a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I can’t be bothered with you.”
