Chapter 100 His Refusal


    Chapter 100 His Refusal


    In the dead of night, Cora found herself alone in bed, tossing and turning. Eventually, she grew


    disheartened and took out her phone.


    As a means to stop her further descent into depravity, she had nned to cut off all contact with Byron


    if he didn''t reach out to her.


    However, lying alone in LO apartment, she couldn''t shake off the troubles and fears that tormented her


    repeatedly.


    It was awful to be all hyped up mentally despite her physical exhaustion.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Adding to her distress, she had promised Flora to introduce her to her boyfriend.


    Cora tried to convince herself that she would willingly offer herself up if Byron helped her deal with


    Flora.


    Besides, she would get a good night''s sleep.


    After making up her mind, she sent a message to Byron: [Mr. Hansen, what have you been up to


    After a while, he sent her a brief reply: [Work.]


    Suspecting that he might be avoiding a conversation, Cora quickly replied: [Isn''t it boring to work all


    day? Do you want toe and hang out?]


    To that, Byron asked: [What are we going to do?]


    Cora suspected he knew her intentions but chose to keep her hanging.


    With a blush on her face, she replied: [We can do anything.]


    [Including you?] Byron''s reply reminded her of when he would kiss her on her ankle while muttering


    sweet-nothings, only to revert to his usual stoic demeanor after getting out of bed.


    He was a gentleman in the streets but a freak in the sheets.


    Since she had a favor to ask of him, she ignored his teasing even though she knew he was messing


    with her.


    [Well, that''s also an option.] she replied.


    She expected him to quickly forget about their previous scuffle ande over to her apartment.


    Surprisingly, he wrote: [I have something to do tonight. Perhaps another time.]


    Cora interpreted that as him declining to hang out with her, seeing how much they had flirted with each


    other.


    To be frank, it seemed like he no longer wanted to continue their rtionship and was trying to end it.


    Never someone to cry over spilled milk, Cora blocked Byron''s WhatsApp ount and added his


    number to her cklist.


    Although she knew the fling wouldn''tst long, when it actually ended, she felt a pang of bitterness in


    her heart.


    The inexplicable sorrow felt even worse than when she was with Eason.


    She wondered how she came to that, even though her rtionship with Byron hadn''tsted that long at


    all.


    "Could this be because he was the first guy I slept with? Not like it matters anymore, though," she


    thought.


    If he wanted to end things, she wouldn''t cling to him either.


    She had her pride, after all.


    After drinking a few bottles of beer to bid farewell to the rtionship, Cora eventually fell asleep on the


    living room sofa, bone-tired.


    The next day, she visited Flora in the burns unit before heading to work in the emergency room.


    As soon as Flora saw her, she looked behind Cora and asked, "Where is he?"


    "Who do you mean, Mom?"


    "Where is your boyfriend? I thought you brought him along."


    Flora couldn''t hide her disappointment when she realized there was no one with Cora.


    That reminded Cora of Byron''s rejection the previous night, and it stung quite a bit.


    However, she kept up a cheerful front while with Flora. "Oh, why the rush?"


    "My operation is happening soon."


    Cora''s face paled as she mmed up.


    Flora''s operation was scheduled for Friday.


    She headed to the emergency room after chatting with Flora for a while. However, thoughts of having


    to introduce her boyfriend to Flora bugged her...
