Elena looked up in disbelief.
She couldn't believe Byron had helped her, sparing her from embarrassment in front of Cora.
At this time, Byron's gaze fell on her, sending shivers down her spine.
When Elena encountered his gaze, she froze for a moment.
Meanwhile, Cora's eyes held a touch of desolation and indignation. She even involuntarily shook off Byron's hand.
"Are you sure? If you are in a relationship, you should be living together by now. She shouldn't need to cook breakfast for you every morning to please you!" Cora said.
She knew better than anyone what Byron would be like when he was in love.
So she was pretty sure that Elena hadn't truly made her way into his heart yet.
What saddened and angered her was that Byron had hurt her just to protect another woman's pride.
But Byron remained unruffled and barely changed his expression.
He merely glanced briefly at Cora and said, "Don't act like you understand me so well. You should know four years will easily change a person."
Tears welled up in Cora's eyes, and she even tasted the bitterness of blood in her mouth.
The most familiar people knew the weakest point best.
Byron's attacks felt swift and merciless, and she couldn't defend herself.
Cora wanted to ask more questions, but Byron's demeanor was so cold that her tears were almost falling right then and there.
In the end, with a heavy heart and indignation, she decided to leave.
She might leave a weak impression on her rival if she didn't go now.
Byron didn't try to stop Cora or look at her departing figure.
Instead, he kept looking at the nutritious breakfast on the table and reached for a piece of cheesecake.
Elena noticed his clenched jawline as he chewed, leaving her uncertain.
"Byron..."
She knew he was angry.
