Chapter 217 No More Waiting?
Allowing Cora to put her arms around his neck, Byron didn’t push her away, nor did he hug her around her slender waist
like before.
He looked at her with deep and cold eyes. “No more waiting?”
“Waiting for what? Waiting for you to get married and have
children or for me to get old and useless?”
She looked at him with a look of desolation and mockery.
Even though there was some nostalgia for her in Byron’s words, she knew he was saying something vague.
Maybe she would have him, and perhaps she would never have him. But no matter what, she would spend the best years of her life in hopeless waiting.
However, the last thing Cora wanted was that she would be proven to be the mistress while she was waiting for Byron.
She was torn between reason and love, feeling miserable.
The two just stared at each other. After a long time, Byron stubbed out his cigarette and asked, “Have you really figured

it out?”

Compared to the tone he used when they had an unpleasant
conversation and broke up in the apartment, it was even
calmer.
But Cora knew he proposed the breakup on his own initiative
this time.
If she agreed, their relationship would be completely over.
But even though Cora was aware of that, the pain of parting
made her almost desperate. She still nodded and said, “Yeah.
I’ve thought it over.”
She was tired and didn’t want to waste her enthusiasm for the
rest of her life on waiting.
Furthermore, if she became a mistress, not only wouldn’t Flora
spare her, but she would also look down on herself.
“Then… send me the invitation card when you get married, and I will go to your wedding.” Byron’s eyes were still deep, making it difficult to tell whether he was really sad.
Cora tried to figure out his emotion several times but finally gave up. “Okay. Be generous on the gift card.”
Cora didn’t know the situation of other people’s breakup. She

just hoped they could make their breakup look more decent and the atmosphere less dull.
Byron’s jawline tensed for a moment, but he finally said,
“Okay.”
Cora knew she should let go of Byron’s neck now.
But she was still reluctant to do it. She asked, “Can you hug me
again?”
Byron froze momentarily, then stretched out his long arms and hugged her around her waist.
Cora hid again in his embrace that she had been missing day
and night. However, she didn’t find any joy and willfulness but
only deep reluctance and helplessness.
This was the last hug between them.
After a few seconds, no matter how attached she was, she pushed Byron away.
“Mr. Hansen, be happy.” She smiled at Byron.
“You too.” Byron’s eyes were still bottomless.
Cora let go and walked towards the restroom.

Byron watched her figure drifting away. Finally, he turned around and went back to the banquet hall.
The two people, who hugged each other just now, walked away with their backs turned to each other.

Now, they were even and would live separate lives, which was
the best gift they could give each other.
Cora left calmly as if she only cared about Byron’s money and his hug.
But the moment she entered the restroom, she was about to
burst into tears.
However, a slap stunned her at this moment.
When she looked up, she found Sara standing before her with
a ferocious look with her hands raised high.
“You bi ch. Byron has abandoned you. Why did you still throw yourself at him?”
Sara came to the restroom to fix her makeup and didn’t expect to run into Cora and Byron again.
But because she was far away, she couldn’t hear their conversation. She only knew it was Cora who hugged Byron around his neck first, so she naturally believed it was Cora

who seduced Byron!
So she was furious and determined to teach Cora a lesson,
Anger made Cora swallow her tears suddenly. She glared at Sara with her sore cheek covered.
“He doesn’t want me? Do you believe that as long as I say a word, he will turn back immediately?”
