Chapter 654 Anything You Say
By the time Byron took Cora back to the Yoris Mansion, it was already ten in the evening.
“You bring Martin out. We’ll go back to the apartment.”
From the time he was on the train, Cora was always in his
mind.
Now that she was almost within reach, he certainly didn’t want to let go of this opportunity.

But he didn’t expect Cora to refuse him. “It’s too late. Martin and I will sleep here tonight.”
Byron was stunned. “Then what about me?”
“You’re not a three–year–old, and you don’t need me to put you to sleep! You can do whatever you want.”
After Cora said that, she got out of the car and was back to
her cold–blooded self, then she strode directly into the Yoris
Mansion.
Byron simply got out of the car and followed.

At the same time, Arnold, William, and the others were watching Martin play building blocks in the living room, while Sara coaxed Martin with his toothbrush in her hand. “Martin, it’s time to wash up and go to bed.”
Martin shook his head, indicating that he wanted to wait for her mother to return before going to bed.
“But you have to go to school tomorrow. If you don’t go to bed early, what will you do if you don’t have the energy to play with your friends tomorrow?”
Sara was very patient as she half–squatted before Martin and spoke nicely to him.
But Martin still shook his head.
Seeing that Martin refused to sleep, William started to get anxious, too. “It’s so late! Why has Cora not returned yet?”
Arnold said instead, “Give Cora a call and ask where she is, then tell the driver to pick her up. How could we let a girl like her go home alone so late at night?”
Suddenly, the butler came to report. “Miss Lane and Mr.
Hansen are back.”
Not long after, Cora and Byron came in one after another.

After they greeted each other, Sara took advantage of Byron
squatting beside Martin and playing building blocks with him
to pull Cora aside. “Have you reconciled again?”
The word “again” made Cora a little embarrassed.
But fortunately, Sara didn’t ask her further when she looked at Cora’s expression and only asked, “Will you two spend the night at home together?”
Byron heard it and quickly gave Cora a look, asking her to
agree.
But Cora said, “He will go home, but Martin and I will stay
here.”
Byron almost disfigured Martin’s building blocks, but fortunately, Martin noticed in time and snatched the building
blocks back.
However, Byron didn’t give up just yet and kept staying.
He planned to wait a little longer until the rest of the Yoris family changed their mind and asked him to stay. By then, he would go along with them.
But Cora seemed to have seen through his thoughts. Seeing that Byron was still not leaving, she urged Martin, “Martin, it’s time for us to wash up and go to bed. You have to go to school

tomorrow!”
Martin obeyed Cora more, so as soon as Cora spoke, he
stretched his little hands and waited for Cora to carry him to
wash up.
Byron saw that Cora was about to go upstairs with Martin in
her arms, so he hurriedly followed.
“Martin is starting school tomorrow? Which kindergarten does
he go to?”
Cora told him the name of the kindergarten, then took Martin
upstairs.
Seeing that Cora had no intention of staying overnight with Byron, the elders of the Yoris family all immediately stood on
her side.
Byron could also guess what they were thinking, so he finally took his leave.
However, when Cora was about to take Martin to the
kindergarten the next morning, Byron appeared in front of the
Yoris Mansion in time.
“I’ll take you there.”
This time, Cora did not refuse.

After all, he was also Martin’s father, so he should be given a chance to participate in such an important first day of school.
Sara had initially agreed with William to escort Cora and her son to school, but both gave up when they saw Byron coming.
But on the way to the kindergarten, Cora made a deal with
Byron. “We should not let the people at the kindergarten know Martin’s identity for the time being. That way, he can grow up
in a relatively normal environment.”
“Anything you say.”
Byron pursed his lips. He hadn’t won his wife’s heart yet, and added to the fact that he spent a cold night alone last night, would he still dare to object now?
