Chapter 906 He Left the House
After having consumed a fair amount of alcohol, Byron returned home and immediately embraced Cora, desiring to kiss her.
As Byron watched the wedding of Georgia and Efren tonight, he couldn’t help but think that if Jane, that foolish woman, hadn’t caused so much trouble, today would be the day to celebrate the marriage of Cora and him.
Certain thoughts came to his mind, prompting his desire to be close to Cora.
However, Cora consistently pushed him away, and ultimately managed to break free from his grasp.
“Don’t touch me!” Cora’s voice suddenly grew colder.
“Cora, I don’t want you to do anything to me. I just wanted to be close to you for a moment. We haven’t been intimate in a long time.”
Seeing Cora’s strong resistance, Byron explained with a sense of sadness.
He knew Cora had recently undergone a miscarriage, so there were certain activities she shouldn’t engage in. However, holding hands or embracing within the confines of a marital relationship should still have been acceptable.

Cora wouldn’t resist Byron as much in the presence of others, but in private, she wouldn’t let him even lay a finger on her.
Byron was becoming increasingly frustrated as he couldn’t recall the last time he had truly embraced Cora and felt her warmth.
“Cora, is there something that you’re unhappy about regarding our relationship? Just tell me, I will definitely work on it.”
Byron half-crouched in front of Cora, lowering his voice and speaking in a conciliatory manner.
However, Cora merely shook her head with a bewildered expression, as she too couldn’t decipher her sudden aversion to Byron’s touch.
Failing to elicit the desired response, Byron attempted to grab Cora’s hand.
Yet, Cora promptly evaded his grasp, leaving Byron grasping at thin air.
Instead of immediately retracting his hand, he let it linger awkwardly in mid-air.
A palpable silence enveloped them, momentarily rendering them speechless.
After a while, Byron regained his voice, his tone husky and restrained. “Cora, is it because I couldn’t save you and the baby in time last time? Is that why you’re mad at me?”
Cora continued to shake her head, She remained perplexed about the source of the problem.
However, upon witnessing the porplexed expression on Byron’s face, he proceeded to explain. “I wanted to save you too. These past few days, I have been regretting not dispatching additional personnel to accompany you. I have also been reproaching myself for not locating you sooner.
Nevertheless, Cora, it seems as though these regrets hold little significance. At this moment, the only thing within my power is to remain steadfastly by your side, hoping for a swift recovery…”
Cora was well aware of the sentiments Byron expressed.
Following her injury, Byron essentially worked from home, rarely straying from her presence.
Occasionally, he would engage in remote participation for certain meetings.
Cora could perceive Byron’s diligent care.
Yet, she couldn’t fathom why she had abruptly developed a reluctance to grow closer to him.
“Cora, I implore you. Please cease resisting my proximity.” Byron’s voice grew unusually husky.
In the past, Byron would never allow her to remain alone within his reach.

Thus, for Byron to refrain from touching Corn throughout the past few weeks implied that his patience had essentially reached its limit.
He assumed the most humble posture, even attempting to take hold of Cora’s hand.
However, Cora still dismissed his gesture and swiftly sought refuge in the bathroom.
As the sound of the bathroom door being locked resonated, the last glimmer of light vanished entirely from Byron’s eyes.
Several minutes later, Byron left the house.
Upon hearing the sound of his car departing from the Hansen Mansion, Cora hurriedly opened the door, rushing outside.
However, when Byron caught her gaze through the rearview mirror, he remained resolute and drove away without a moment’s hesitation…
