Chapter 248 Uncertainty

"Why are you here?"

Byron's lanky frame blocked out most of the light in the corridor, and his side profile made Cora'sheart race. She furrowed her brows at the sight of him.

"Why can't I be here?" Byron looked at her, his figure towering over her. He even bent down slightlyso that his handsome face was closer to hers.

Because he deliberately approached her, Cora could clearly smell the scent of aftershave combinedwith the aroma of tobacco that was exclusive to him.

That was the scent that she missed the most during the early days of their separation.

At that moment, the scent still could easily disrupt the rhythm of her heartbeat.

Afraid of being seen through, she quickly looked away.

Byron studied her profile but didn't move any closer. Instead, he took a step forward, intending towalk past her and enter her apartment.

Cora sensed his intention and quickly blocked his advance.

"What exactly are you up to by coming here?"

She was afraid that if he came into her life again, the wall that she had constructed with greatdifficulty would collapse instantly.

However, all Byron did was bring the things in his hands to her eye level, a look of indifference onhis face. "I remember someone said that it would be a bummer not to have some crayfish whenthey're feeling down.”

Cora was taken aback for a moment. She immediately recalled the times when she was scolded byByron for chowing down on the crayfish takeaway she ordered.

Indeed, having led a pampered life, Byron felt that crayfish were unhygienic and tried to dissuadeher from eating them.

Nonetheless, Cora retorted with various excuses at that time, claiming that having them would lifther mood, that they were the highlight of her boring days, or that they were a feast for her tocelebrate certain occasions.

Never had she expected him to actually come to her door with crayfish to comfort her, who had justhad a breakup.

No matter how Cora thought about it, it felt a bit unbelievable.

She wasn't sure if Byron was suddenly showing courtesy just so he could sleep with her again.Regardless of her worries, she figured she shouldn't call him out when he was being nice to her, soshe could only politely refuse. "I'm not sad.”

"If you're not sad, then consider this a celebration of your return to being single.”

As if not understanding her refusal, he shoved her aside and entered the room after saying that.Right away, Byron seemed to have made himself at home. After putting down the crayfish, he wentto the kitchen to take out the cutlery and retrieved some bottled beer from the refrigerator. Corawas spacing out a little, thinking that they were back to those days when they spent every day oftheir life together.

Meanwhile, Byron opened the lid of the container that had the crayfish, uncapped two bottles ofbeer, and handed one of them to Cora. "It's spicy, the kind you love the most. Are you sure youwon't try it?"

Cora figured that she had nothing against crayfish and it would be a waste not to enjoy them.

So, she gave in, taking the beer that Byron handed her and sitting down opposite him.

As in the old days, Byron didn't like crayfish, nor did he like beer. Throughout Cora's feast, he didn'ttouch any of the crayfish and only drank a few sips of beer.

On the contrary, Cora ate with relish.

But halfway through the meal, she didn't forget to give him a reminder. "You can go back after Ifinish eating. I don't allow those who aren't single to spend the night here."

Byron tapped on the table with his long fingers. "I'm single!"

"How is that possible when you're engaged?" Cora glanced at him mockingly.

"From where did you hear news of my engagement? My engagement would've made the headlinesif that were the case."

Cora was stunned. She really read about it on the news, but all the signs pointed to him gettingengaged to Jane soon

Seeing that Cora was deep in thought, Byron got up, walked to the cabinet under the stairs, andtook out a pink box inside.

When Cora regained her senses, she saw him counting the condoms in the box, and the corner ofher mouth twitched.
