    Chapter 385 Daydreaming


    "Haha..."


    Cora waited with her eyes closed, but the anticipated kiss never came. Instead, she heard Byron


    chuckle.


    As she opened her eyes, she met Byron''s eyes, shining with amusement.


    Cora felt slightly embarrassed, but she quickly struck back.


    "Why are youughing?"


    "Are you expecting a kiss from me?"


    Byron''s voice carried a yful tone.


    Hisughter seemed to have a magical effect, making Cora''s cheeks burn.


    "What nonsense! Why would someone as civilized as me even indulge in such debauched thoughts


    while in public?"


    She pushed Byron away right after that, trying to make a swift exit.


    However, Byron kept her in his arms and buried his face in the crook of her neck.


    "I really want to sleep with you."


    His voice was muffled and slightly hoarse.


    Cora was taken aback by his words before realizing he was being unabashed.


    However, she looked forward to what would follow.


    After all, his unabashed attitude would be required to turn her lies into reality.


    Yet, as Cora waited for Byron''s next move, he said, "It''s a shame that we can''t proceed further.


    Something might go wrong since you''re in your first trimester."


    There was a touch of affection in his hoarse voice.


    "It should be okay."


    Cora didn''t need his kindness at all. She hoped he would ravage her so that her lies would be


    reality.


    If her deception was exposed, Byron would divorce her.


    Byron seemed surprised by Cora''s response and was visibly stunned for a moment.


    However, he quickly regained hisposure and smiled. "Looks like I''m not the only one having a


    tough time during this period."


    Cora''s face flushed with embarrassment. He spoke as if she had strong urges to sleep with him.


    All she wanted was to actually conceive a child.


    Seeing her blushing and speechless, Byron assumed she was embarrassed after being teased by him.


    So, he kissed Cora''s forehead once more.


    "Let''s wait a few months. Things will be better soon. I''ll give you a hundred millionter."

    "Why would you give me that?"


    Cora thought he was talking about money, but when she realized he was shamelessly bragging about


    his sperm count, she shoved him away with annoyance.


    "I don''t care if you have hundreds of millions of them!"


    "I think you do, though."


    Cora didn''t know what to say to that.


    "He''s such a shameless bastard! How could he say such things when we''re in public!" She thought.


    It wasn''t untilter that she realized he would only tease her.


    Noticing Cora''s annoyance, Byron smiled and nudged her into the dressing room.


    "Alright, change your clothes quickly. The makeup artist will do your makeupter. I''ll go entertain the


    guests for now."


    Before leaving, he gave her a reminder. "Remember to change. I don''t want others to take in the sight


    of you like that. You''re mine alone."


    Cora blushed again, especially when he stared tantly at her chest while iming that he was hers.


    In the end, Cora had no choice but to change out of the gown she liked and put on the one Byron had


    prepared for her.


    The makeup artists were also quick to arrive.


    "Your skin is already luminous, so the foundation will only obscure its natural glow. Your lip color is pink,


    which is a color that many dreams of having. This is the first time ever I find myself at a loss while


    doing a client''s makeup."


    In the end, the makeup artist settled for applying eyeliner on Cora''s eyelids. "I feel guilty for charging


    you for today."


    Cora was delighted at thepliment and offered some snacks to the makeup artist.


    Meanwhile, Byron was downstairs entertaining the guests who had arrived for the asion with a smile


    on his face, which was a rare sight.


    Eason''s family was among the guests.


    Mia, who was eight months pregnant, led him inside.


    Seeing his uncle, Byron, dressed in a tuxedo and beaming with pride amidst the mingling crowd, Eason


    couldn''t help but feel a little dazzled.


    If he hadn''t broken up with Cora back then, he would be the one basking in love and receiving warm


    blessings from the others in his uncle''s stead.


    He wouldn''t be stuck with Mia either, bing the subject of ridicule in high society.


    Regret gnawed at him. When Mia noticed he was spacing out, she taunted him relentlessly.


    "Don''t waste your time pining after her. They''ve already tied the knot, so stop daydreaming!"
