Chapter 333 Mentioning Breaking Up
Cora took half a day off to stay by Flora’s side, fearing she would do something extreme again.
At some point in between, Byron called her, telling her he was in Kinton right now and just getting off the plane before asking her what she was doing.
When Cora heard that man’s familiar voice, the sourness she felt at the tip of her nose immediately stirred the emotions in her heart again.
Reluctance, unwillingness, helplessness, and the powerless feeling were all jammed inside her heart, making her almost gasping for air.
Not getting her response for a long time, the man immediately noticed something was wrong. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Will you manage to come back tonight?” Cora tried hard to suppress her emotions, not wanting the man to notice anything out of place.
“Probably not. Do you miss me?”
Not only the branch office of Sunda Group would be established in New York, but some business lines in Kinton would also move

to New York, so there was naturally a heap of things to do.
If it wasn’t for Cora, Byron would have stayed in Kinton during this time, saving him from running back and forth.
But once this person had someone he cared about, he would easily compromise a lot of things.
Even if running back and forth between two cities would severely shorten his sleep schedule and reduce his life quality, he still didn’t hesitate.
Especially when he saw Cora giving him that dimpled smile, his fatigue that had been accumulated for days would be instantly washed away that he even felt he could still run for miles.
But Cora only answered him indifferently, “No.”
“Really?” The man frowned as if he didn’t believe her words, yet there was a silent laugh in his tone.
Cora knew that man must be smiling now that even the mole at the end of his eye would make his expression look a little softer.
She really liked that expression of his.
If Flora hadn’t made such a fuss, she probably couldn’t wait to have a video call with him now.
Yet, she only said, “No, I’m not lying to you.”
She was about to break up with him. Even if this wasn’t what he

heart wished for, she still had to prepare him for the blow.
“What’s the matter? I don’t seem to have done anything to make you unhappy today, right?”
Byron was clearly aware of Cora’s unhappiness, but despite having thought of all the possible reasons and eliminated them one by one, he still couldn’t figure out why the attitude of the obedient person who submitted under him last night had taken a drastic turn today.
Cora gritted her teeth and spoke, “No, I’m not unhappy. It’s just… Let’s break up.”
She had to mention it sooner or later anyway.
It was hard to determine whether the news was too shocking for him or if there was something else, as Byron didn’t respond for a long time.
If it weren’t for the noisy background sound coming from the phone, Cora would have thought he had hung up the phone.
After a long time, the man finally said, “Did anyone say anything to you? Or did you see another gossip about me on some random news website?”
When he said this, Cora also heard the sound of a lighter.
Presumably, he was frowning deeply and smoking a cigarette while smoothing this out with her.

In fact, he was not a patient person. Cora knew it.
He usually wouldn’t give a second chance to the people and things that he disliked.
But now, he was rarely being patient and slowly talking things out with her.
She also knew that he truly wanted to be with her forever.
Yet, between family affection and love, she could only choose one, so she closed her eyes weakly and said, “Neither. I just think that we still don’t fit each other after all, so let’s forget about it.”
“Don’t fit each other? We have been sleeping together for so long, and if you truly think we don’t fit each other, you must’ve sensed it a long time ago. But you’re only telling me this now?”
Perhaps he had been getting exasperated for real as his tone obviously started to get a little demanding, and even the meaning behind his words had made Cora feel ashamed.
