    Chapter 209 I Broke Up


    "He''s Eason''s uncle, and we''ve met a few times."


    Cora replied, looking up and seeminglyposed.


    But only she knew that her calm look masked the surging feelings in her heart.


    Even if she tried her best to forget the happy moments she had shared with Byron, just a casual


    mention of his name made all those memories resurface and let her suffer even more.


    "Is that so?" Gabe frowned slightly, his inquiring gaze searching for clues on Cora''s face.


    However, Cora gritted her teeth, concealing her bitterness and helplessness. She spoke calmly, "Well,


    yes, it''s like that. Why do you ask?"


    "Nothing, I heard from mywyer that he provided the bail for me, which allowed me to get out


    smoothly. I thought there might be some kind of connection between you and him."


    Gabe also knew the rtionship between Byron and Eason, so he was so worried when he learned


    that it was Byron who had bailed him out and even gave him a lot of money.


    But Gabe was obviously relieved to hear that Cora calmly denied everything between her and Byron.

    "Maybe he helped you because he once coborated with Dad." Cora could only use theirte father


    as an excuse.


    In this way, Gabe wouldn''t go to find out whether what she had said was true.


    As for Byron, Cora knew he probably didn''t want anyone to know about their rtionship, so he


    wouldn''t meet with Gabe.


    "Maybe."


    When they reached the subway entrance, Gabe said, Cora, I''ll temporarily stay at Lorenzo''s ce. But


    my phone will be on 24/7, so feel free to call me if you need anything."


    Lorenzo Yates was theirte father''s right-hand man and former chiefwyer of the Lane Group.


    Cora and Gabe used to visit Lorenzo''s house frequently, so he basically watched them grow up.


    When Gabe was implicated, Lorenzo had been working hard to get him out.


    So, Gabe staying at Lorenzo''s wasn''t surprising.


    However, Cora still wanted to persuade him toe back with her. "Gabe, I bought an air mattress. If


    you don''t want to sleep on my bed, you can sleep on the air mattress."


    She knew Gabe wouldn''t let her sleep on the sofa, so she had prepared everything before he was


    released.


    But Gabe still refused, saying, "That ce is too small. Besides, Cora, you''re a grown woman now, and


    it would be inconvenient for both of us to live together."


    Seeing Cora''s dejected expression, heforted her, "But I promise you, once I''ve settled down, I''ll


    find a bigger ce as soon as possible and bring you over."


    Gabe''s reasoning made sense. Although they were siblings, they were still a man and a woman.


    Cora''s apartment was indeed quite small, and it would be inconvenient for them to live together.


    So, in the end, Corapromised.


    After seeing Gabe off at the subway station, Cora returned to Flora''s ward.


    Flora was knitting that scarf again, already halfway done.


    "Why are you back?" Flora asked, ncing at Cora and then focusing on the scarf, her brows


    furrowing.


    Cora wasn''t sure if Flora was worried that she would ask for that scarf or if she was curious why Cora


    hadn''t gone home with Gabe.


    Cora believed it was thetter since she saw the scarf as a gift from Flora to repair their mother-


    daughter rtionship.


    "Gabe wanted to stay at Lorenzo''s house and had already informed him," Cora said, sitting beside


    Flora. She nned to buy some things for Gabe and send them to him this weekend.


    "Then what else are you up to?" Flora''s question felt off to Cora, making her feel like Flora didn''t want


    her to be there.


    But Cora assumed it was due to Flora caring about the reason for the sudden visit to her ward


    because, after all, Flora was her mother.


    She sniffed and tried to calm down as she replied, "Mom, I broke up..."
