Chapter 302 You Threw Yourself At Me
- 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 wondering 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 grudge. 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. 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 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. Act High and Mighty “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.
