Chapter 472 Lie or Truth
“What we eat is none of your concern, Miss Lane.”
Elena quickly calmed down and began to counterattack against
Cora.
“And if you are worried about overeating and getting sick, then you can skip our breakfast.”
These were the freshest vegetables and meat she had bought from the market early in the morning, all cooked to capture Byron’s taste and, hopefully, his heart. Cora had no right to be picky.
“I didn’t plan on eating. I just want to ask my husband a question,” Cora replied, giving Elena a brief glance before turning her attention back to Byron.
That single glance made Elena feel a vague sense of unease.
She had a feeling that Cora’s question might put her in an awkward position.
Interrupting Cora’s words, she said, “Byron is not your husband. At most, he’s your ex–husband.”
“Ex–husband is still a husband. Besides, since we spent so many days and nights together, regardless of anything else, at least I still have the right to have casual chats with him and address

him as I like, don’t I?” Cora replied, giving Byron a smile.
Her already enchanting eyes looked even more mesmerizing with that smile.
For a moment, Byron felt a little distracted.
Disliking Cora’s carefree attitude, Elena wanted to retort again.
However, Byron suddenly spoke up, “What do you want to ask? Hurry up.”
Cora felt somewhat favored again upon hearing his words as if she had returned to four years ago.
Back then, whenever someone was even slightly ill–intentioned toward her, Byron would launch indiscriminate attacks.
She really missed those days, and now it seemed that all her struggles had finally paid off.
Seeing Cora’s sweet appearance, Elena felt increasingly annoyed.
But since Byron had shown his attitude, she had to respect him.
She had to suppress her displeasure with Cora and repeatedly told herself, “I’ve waited for four years. I can’t make any hasty move now. Otherwise, all my previous efforts will be in vain.”
While Elena tried to suppress her emotions, Cora suddenly turned her gaze toward her.

Flustered, she saw Cora smile slightly.
“Byron, Miss Turner said you are her boyfriend now. Is that
true?”
In that instant, Elena felt her heart almost jump into her throat.
She had just said that to annoy Cora.
But now, Cora was asking Byron for the truth directly in front of her. Other than feeling embarrassed, she was afraid that Byron would think she was a liar and despise her.
In a panic, Elena wanted to deny it outright, but as she turned to look at Byron, their eyes met.
His gaze was deep and inscrutable, leaving her unsure of how to respond.
She ended up lowering her head and avoiding eye contact with Byron.
Cora had been secretly observing their expressions all along.
Seeing Elena’s guilty demeanor, she already had a good idea of the answer.
However, she still wanted to hear it from Byron. So she urged him once more, “Say it.”
This time, Byron suddenly reached out and held her chin, looking into her eyes.

But instead of sparking a fire, their eye contact felt more like generating ice shards.
“Are you so curious?”
His voice was even colder than his eyes.
“Yes.” Cora nodded affirmatively.
Their conversation was torture for Elena.
She didn’t expect that Byron would help her maintain the lie.
She even thought that when Byron revealed the truth, she would embarrass herself in front of Cora.
Then, she would never be able to show her face to Cora again.
But in her anxious wait, she heard Byron say, “What she said is true. You have no right to question it.”
