Chapter 168 Does He Regret It?

• Cora gave Byron a cold stare and intended to turn around and leave, unwilling to engage with him any further. After all, she has a boyfriend now! But to her surprise, just as she was about to walk away, Byron swiftly scooped up a ladle of water and splashed it at her. And this time, her face got soaked too. Her long hair, draped over her shoulders, was also wet halfway down. She became instantly furious, disregarding everything and shouting at him, “Byron Hansen, what are you doing?” Ignoring her, Byron scooped up another ladle of water and poured it on her, saying casually, “Splashing water!” Cora exploded with anger, grabbed a nearby ladle, and splashed water back at Byron. Her retaliation stirred up Byron’s playful nature, and the two adults started chasing and playfully fighting like children. Jason looked from a distance as the aloof and wealthy Byron and Cora laughed and played together. In his heart, he gave himself several thumbs up and whispered to himself. “I’m really smart! I came up with such a brilliant water fight activity that made Mr. Hansen see what he wanted and have fun. It’s really difficult for someone like me to not be successful.”
• However, while Jason highly praised his cleverness and pondered how he would politely accept additional investment from Byron, he received a disdainful look from Byron. Jason was confused and thought, “What did I do wrong? Why is he looking at me like that?” As Jason looked confused, Byron paid no attention to Cora’s struggle and pulled her into the depths of the jungle. Cora had only intended to take the opportunity to pay Byron back for leaving her so heartlessly when she was deeply in love, which almost drove her to the brink of a breakdown. But she didn’t expect to be dragged into the depths of the jungle during their playfulness, which made her panic. “What are you doing? Stop fooling around!” Both of them were soaked, and their clothes stuck to their bodies. Byron’s intentions were becoming clear. Fortunately, Byron stopped when he pulled her into the shade of a large banana tree. “Should I let you be exposed to others if I don’t take you away?” As Byron said this, his gaze fell upon Cora.
• Following his gaze, Cora saw that her wet skirt had become nearly transparent, leaving her exquisite curves exposed without any cover. Cora suddenly felt her face burning, and she also noticed the fervent heat in Byron’s eyes. “Whether I am exposed or not is my own business.” She quickly turned around, planning to go back and wait for Lucas. But Byron pulled her back, pressing her against the trunk of the banana tree. As their bodies came closer, their breaths became heavy. Those memories of intimacy seemed to resurface all of a sudden. Especially for Byron, he was almost losing control. He held onto Cora’s waist tightly, and his l*ps started to approach hers. But Cora still had some rationality left. Just as the man’s lips were about to touch hers, she quickly turned her face away. So, his k*ss landed on her cheek instead. But Byron didn’t give up. He actually continued to k*ss downward from her cheek. She could feel herself trembling, and her heart was racing faster. But she couldn’t bear to see herself sink into another loveless abyss with no future.
