Chapter 51 Why Not?

• “Byron?” Tyler was taken aback and greeted him first. Byron had just extinguished his cigarette, and the smell of smoke still lingered around him. “When did you come back?” Both men had identical, perfect b*dy proportions and equally exceptional charisma. The difference was in their auras. If Tyler, in his white shirt and beige trousers, looked as clean and angelic as ever, Byron, in his black shirt and black pants, seemed like a devil wandering in the dark. Byron’s gaze was profound and icy, as if it had emitted a chilling effect. Even Tyler couldn’t help but shiver when he got closer. “Today.” Tyler felt that something was off about Byron’s demeanor today, but he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly it was.
• “Well, let’s meet another day then.” As Byron passed by them, his gaze briefly swept across Cora’s face. Remembering his indifference and avoidance earlier in the day, Cora imitated him by not making eye contact and treating him as a complete stranger. “I definitely will. I’ll treat you next time.” Tyler watched Byron walk away and wanted to say something to Cora. But Cora said first, “Tyler, I need to use the restroom. You go back first.” “Alright, I’ll wait for you in the private room.” Byron’s presence disrupted the atmosphere, and Tyler couldn’t find the same feeling as before. Certain words couldn’t be spoken anymore. Cora nodded in response, turned around, and went into the bathroom.
• But what she never expected was that when she came out of the bathroom, Tyler had left, but Byron was standing in front of the sink, smoking a cigarette. The smoke diffused around him, and with his slightly tilted head and tense jawline, he exuded a seductive aura. Upon hearing the sound, his gaze fell unabashedly on Cora. On this late autumn night, she was wearing a slim-fit blue dress with a white cardigan draped over it. That enchanting appearance made him involuntarily think about whether she was as irresistible when lying beneath Tyler as she was when she was with him.
