Chapter 394 Misunderstand

• After Elena left, Byron returned to the spacious private room that could easily hold dozens of people. Around fifteen minutes later, Carter finally opened the private room door and entered. Byron remained silent, downing glasses of expensive liquor like plain water. Carter couldn’t help raising an eyebrow and asking, “Weren’t you just going over to deliver drinks to Miss Lane? Why are you sitting here alone?” Half an hour ago, Carter drank with him in the private room. Carter could tell he was still waiting for Cora, but his patience was running thin, so he resorted to provoking him, saying, “Why are you dragging me here to drink alone? If you dare, find the person who made you upset.
• Come on, man. You’re not even remarried yet and are already scared of your wife.” Byron retorted, “What makes you think I’m scared of her? I am not scared of her! I respect her!” Afterward, Byron sought out the manager of the Royal Club and ordered a fine bottle of wine to be sent to the room where Cora was as a gesture of respect for her. As far as Carter could tell, sending wine as a sign of respect was merely a cover. Byron was only finding a way to justify being the first, but he decided not to point that out. He guessed that with Byron sending the wine, he and Cora would likely be on good terms again.
• Wanting to spare himself from witnessing any potentially dramatic scenes once they reconciled, Carter used the excuse of stepping out to smoke. He had initially thought that upon returning to the private room, he might stumble upon some explicit scenes, but instead, all he saw was Byron still sitting there, quietly drinking alone. The gesture of sending the wine and showing respect hadn’t gone as smoothly as he had anticipated. “She’s showing respect to someone else.” Byron muttered under his breath, then tilted his head back and downed a glass of strong liquor.
