Chapter 179 Possible Reunion

Cora quickly stepped forward and snatched the box from Byron’s hand, hiding it behind her back. “What are you doing?” Her face was red, either from the alcohol or because of embarrassment. Regardless of which, she was irresistibly attractive, like a ripe fruit to wildlife. “There are still seven hundred and sixty-seven of them left; not a single one is missing,” Byron replied calmly, but a flame of passion danced in his eyes. Cora felt his gaze bore a hole in her already heated cheeks, so she quickly turned away from him. However, Byron didn’t let her off that easily and continued uttering words that made her heart race. “You and Lucas haven’t had S**.” They had bought these contraceptives before the new year. At that time, Cora said they might not use them for a very long time, and he had counted. When they broke up, there were still seven hundred and sixty-seven left, and not a single one was missing upon his return. “What does that have to do with you?” Cora felt exasperated and even retorted stubbornly, “Had it not crossed your mind that Lucas might have come prepared?” Unexpectedly, Byron said, “If you had done something with him, you wouldn’t have reacted like you did just now.” Cora didn’t know what to say. It seemed like he was messing with her. “So, are you planning to reconcile with me?” She looked at him, almost annoyed. “Yeah.” Byron didn’t hide his intentions, and he even pulled her into his arms. Cora had been loitering around him while in her pajamas, and he had been wanting to do that ever since laying eyes on her. They had been separated for such a long time, and nothing had been able to relieve the longing he felt. He really wanted to get straight to the point. But considering her feelings, he continued to restrain himself. However, even though he had always respected her feelings, Cora quickly broke free from his embrace. “Sorry, but I never dwell on the past.” She admitted that she was moved when he put his grievances aside and helped her near the movie theater and at the event held at the Calligraphy Association. Still, he would eventually marry someone else, and she didn’t want to go through the same pain. “Is it because I’m going to get engaged to her?” Byron narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing.
