Cora took half a day off to stay by Flora's side, fearing she would do something extreme again.
At some point in between, Byron called her, telling her he was in Kinton right now and just getting off the plane before asking her what she was doing.
When Cora heard that man's familiar voice, the sourness she felt at the tip of her nose immediately stirred the emotions in her heart again.
Reluctance, unwillingness, helplessness, and the powerless feeling were all jammed inside her heart, making her almost gasping for air.
Not getting her response for a long time, the man immediately noticed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Will you manage to come back tonight?" Cora tried hard to suppress her emotions, not wanting the man to notice anything out of place.
"Probably not. Do you miss me?"
Not only the branch office of Sunda Group would be established in New York, but some business lines in Kinton would also move to New York, so there was naturally a heap of things to do.
If it wasn't for Cora, Byron would have stayed in Kinton during this time, saving him from running back and forth.
But once this person had someone he cared about, he would easily compromise a lot of things.
Even if running back and forth between two cities would severely shorten his sleep schedule and reduce his life quality, he still didn't hesitate.
Especially when he saw Cora giving him that dimpled smile, his fatigue that had been accumulated for days would be instantly washed away that he even felt he could still run for miles.
But Cora only answered him indifferently, "No."
"Really?" The man frowned as if he didn't believe her words, yet there was a silent laugh in his tone.
Cora knew that man must be smiling now that even the mole at the end of his eye would make his expression look a little softer.
She really liked that expression of his.
If Flora hadn't made such a fuss, she probably couldn't wait to have a video call with him now.

I somehow find Cora childish...
