Chapter 681 As Affectionate as Ever
Soon, Byron knocked on Cora’s door.
“Who is it?”
Cora had just finished reading two medical books and was about to sleep.
Just as she lay down, she heard someone knocking at the
door.
She thought it might be Sara.
Sara would occasionally knock on her door at this time to
check if she was asleep or not. If she were still awake, Sara would prepare a late–night snack for her.
After waiting for a few seconds without any response, Cora got up to open the door.
To her surprise, the tall, lean man stood right before her.
“Why are you here?”

Cora frowned.

“I came to find my wife. Is there any problem?”
Byron’s words made it evident that he was drunk because of
the strong smell of alcohol.
Cora was relieved that Sara had persuaded Martin to sleep in her room tonight.
Otherwise, Martin would have been woken up by the drunk
man in the middle of the night.
“I’m your ex–wife!”
Cora wanted to say more, but Byron brushed past her and
entered the room.
“My ex–wife is still a wife,” he said, fl*pping the blanket and lying in Cora’s bed.
“What are you doing? If you’re drunk, go back home. Why
come over here?”
Although they had Martin together, they were still divorced.
Getting cozy in a small apartment was fine, but doing the
same in the Yoris Mansion might attract unwanted attention.

Cora tried to uncover the blanket to drive him out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted the blanket, Byron pulled
her into the bed and pressed her down.
With a gaze that was already showing signs of intoxication, he
looked at her with sincerity and said, “Wherever you are, that’s my home.”
At that moment, Cora felt her anger dissipate.
Even when drunk, this man still knew where his home was.
A person like him wouldn’t do anything inappropriate.
She realized how ridiculous it was for her to be upset about
the l*pstick marks on his shirt.
She knew he wouldn’t do anything inappropriate. What was she getting upset about?
Having come to this realization, she smiled, and Byron noticed
- it.
“Why are you laughing?”
He asked, leaning in closer.
Their noses were almost touching, and their distance was

even more ambiguous than a k*ss.
“I’m laughing at how drunk you are, like an old man,” Cora tried to turn her face away, not wanting the ambiguous
atmosphere to escalate.

However, something she said seemed to anger him, and he grabbed her face and said, “Dare you to call me an old man? I’ll show you whether I’m old or not.”
With that, he k*ssed her without further ado.
The more Cora struggled, the more he persisted.
Eventually, they forgot about their surroundings and indulged in each other completely.
The following day, Sara brought Martin back after walking the dog.
“Look how late your mommy is still not awake!”
They went to knock on Cora’s door but received no response.
Sara started to worry. “Cora, are you feeling unwell?”
There was still no answer from inside.
Martin was getting anxious, his eyes turning red.

Sara rea*sured him, “Don’t worry. Let’s ask the butler for the spare key and open the door.” Just as Sara was about to get the spare key, the door suddenly opened from inside.
“Cora.”
Sara was about to say something, but when she looked up and saw the tall man in front of her, she was momentarily
stunned.
Byron, however, remained composed. “Mrs. Sara Yoris, Cora slept late last night and hasn’t woken up yet.”
