Chapter 249 Possible Reunion
Cora quickly stepped forward and sn tched 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 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 how 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 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. “Why not give it a try?
Perhaps I won’t get engaged to her because of you.”
“The costs of this trial and error process are too high.”
In that kind of relationship, Byron could withdraw at any time, while she would be left foolishly waiting in place, which was
difficult for her to endure.
Besides, Cora had already experienced that kind of despair once. Even if Byron hinted at a chance of success, she didn’t want to try again. He might very well be making empty promises.
After being rejected, Byron briefly considered saying something.
At that moment, the doorbell rang again.

“Go and open the door.” Byron didn’t dwell on it any further.
After changing the topic, he returned to his original seat,
seemingly wanting to linger there.
Cora temporarily ignored him and went to open the door.
Outside the door, Lucas was still holding his gift, and he
looked extremely happy when he saw Cora open the door.
“Cora, these are some fruits that you would like. Remember to eat a bit every day to ensure your vitamin C intake and boost
your immune system.”
“I don’t need these. Take them back, and don’t bring them
again in the future. I’ve made it clear that I won’t reconcile
with you.”
Cora disliked the feeling of being entangled with her ex and
pushed the fruits away.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to reconcile. Just consider it as a little something from a friend,” Lucas said with a smile,
refusing to give up.
He planned to make Cora accept him again, even if he had to take the long way around.
Just as Cora was about to reject him again, Byron found himself unable to sit out of things. Without warning, he walked

to the door and looped his arm around Cora’s shoulder. “She
had made it clear that she won’t reconcile. Take the fruits
back.”
With his impassive tone and assertiveness, he played the role
of her boyfriend perfectly.
