Chapter 247 She Broke Up
Lucas had chased after Cora out of the hotel that day and explained what had happened between him and Chloe, pleading with her not to end their relationship so abruptly and give him a chance to make things right.
However, Cora responded with a firm statement. “You know how much I hate being caught up in emotional dramas, yet you keep putting me in such a position. I don’t think we’re compatible anymore. Let’s break up.”
“Please just give me one more chance. I promise I won’t repeat the same mistakes,” Lucas implored.
Cora replied candidly, “I already gave you a chance. I asked you multiple times if something was wrong. If you had come clean back then, I might have responded differently. Yet, you kept reassuring me that everything was fine, keeping me waiting in the dark for your decision.”
“I’m sorry, Cora. I’ll change! I really will…”
Lucas spent a long time pleading with Cora, but she didn’t budge, and he had to step back, saying, “I’ll deal with the situation with Chloe first and then come back to you. Let’s take
some time to calm down.”

But once Cora had time to reflect, she made up her mind to
never repeat the same mistake.
The next day, Cora approached Flora and told her the truth.
“Mom, I broke up with Lucas.”
“Why did you break up again?” Flora frowned. It would be a
has le trying to explain things to Jane.
“He turned out to have a fiancée. She even came looking for
him.”
Cora was feeling quite upset. After all, she had invested in the
relationship and had honestly thought of spending her life
with Lucas.
“How could this be? This guy is unreliable. Let me find
someone else for you.”
Flora muttered under her breath and then began searching for other options on her phone.
“Mom, I’m not in the mood for a relationship right now. Can’t you just give me a break?”
Initially, Flora had wanted to chide her daughter for being
fragile in the face of pressure.

She was taken aback when Cora suddenly asked, “Where’s the
scarf you were knitting? When can you give it to me?”
Cora believed that having the scarf made by her mother
would bring her some comfort amidst her heartbreak.
However, Flora seemed somewhat flustered. “I messed it up
and threw it away. If you like it so much, I’ll make you another
one after gathering some more materials.”
“It’s fine even if you messed up. Where did you discard it? I can perhaps still find it.”
“The cleaners took it away two days ago, so it’s going to be a
lost cause.”
Worried that Cora might delve further into the topic, Flora opted for a compromise. “Alright, I’ll give you a few days. Why
don’t you go out and relax with Sally? You will feel better in no
time.”
However, Cora wasn’t in the mood to go out with Sally, for she felt like she had been running into Lucas everywhere she went.
Lucas claimed to have resolved things with Chloe and wanted
to start over with Cora.
Yet, Cora had made up her mind. To avoid him altogether, she spent her hard-earned holidays hiding in her apartment
Chapter 247 She Broke Up binge-watching dramas.
Just as she began watching one, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Cora checked the surveillance camera and saw Lucas
standing outside with a gift he brought, so she chose not to open the door.
The doorbell rang again after a few minutes.
She assumed it was Lucas, so she stormed over and yanked
the door open without checking the camera.
After all, she wasn’t a stranger to Lucas doing that, bothering
her every few minutes.
She disliked the feeling of being pestered and wanted to open
the door and throw everything in Lucas’ face.
To her surprise, it was Byron standing at the door!
