Chapter 729 Just Cried?
“If you ask, I’ll tell. We’re in that kind of relationship. Can I still deceive you?”
Byron kept his eyes closed and leaned against the back seat, but his hand sought out Cora’s. Despite her struggles, he tightly held her hand, and she eventually gave in
“About the hip mark on your shirt carlier, was it from Evie?” As she asked this question, she couldn’t help but observe Byron
Seeing the man who had kept his eyes closed all this time finally open them to look at her.
You held that question back until now? Were you afraid of bursting?”
There was a hint of a smile in his cold gaze, faint but genuine.
At that moment, Cora felt that man had been waiting for her here all along!
She felt frustrated and glanced out the window.
“Yes…”
The man’s response made her even more furious, and she struggled momentarily to free her hand from his grip.
However, Byron exerted all his strength to control her, even going so far as to embrace her tightly.
“Cora, don’t move. I know you’re angry, but it was accidental. When she went to pick up my lighter, it brushed against her.”
“So you’re giving her an excuse?”
“That’s the truth. I’m not making excuses for anyone.”
Cora was instantly filled with uncontrollable anger.
Just as they arrived near their apartment, Cora instructed the driver to stop the car and then got out.
Byron quickly followed.
Walking one behind the other, Byron explained from behind, “Cora, the reason I indulged her is because she said she’s your old classmate. Because of you, I didn’t make a big deal out of it.”
Annoyed, Cora turned back “Do you know that we’re not on good terms?”
Byron came closer, encircling her waist and lowering his face, his dark eyes gazing deeply into hers.
“I know now. When you were so angry just now, I realized I might have been wrong.”
He noticeably lowered his voice, carrying a hint of appeasement.
Though he still had a trace of drunkenness, it was rather charming.
At least, Cora’s heart was truly swayed.
However, she didn’t want this man to think that this tactic worked so well on her.
What if he used this ploy to get away with his mistakes in the future?
Plus, just a while ago, she had been crying into her pillow at home because he left without a word.
She rushed over to pick him up when Harry mentioned that he was drunk
And what did she end up encountering? He and the person she now detested the most, Evie, was acting all lovey–dovey!
Furious in her heart, she couldn’t forgive him.

So she struggled to break free, trying to separate herself from him
However, his iron grip held her tightly, not allowing her the slightest movement
At the same time, he continued explaining, “If I had known she had a conflict with you, I definitely wouldn’t have helped her just to save face in front of you”
Speaking, Byron even lowered his head, carefully observing Cora’s eyes, then furrowing his brow. “Were you crying just now?”
Her eye sockets were so red, and there was still a trace of tears in her eyes. The tip of her nose and her forehead were also red.
This was clearly the appearance of crying.
Damn it, the lighting in the private room was dim just now, and he couldn’t notice any of this.
If he had known she had been crying, he wouldn’t have waited until she called him to come back home.
Filled with self–blame, Byron’s hand around Cora’s waist tightened noticeably.
He remembered that before he left home, Cora had a cold expression and ignored him.
Was that because of Evie?
“How did that woman bully you?”
Such an insignificant person dared to make Cora cry, and she would pay a bloody price for it!
Cora had been maintaining a stern expression, but upon hearing his concerned tone, her nose inexplicably tingled and felt sore.
