Chapter 670 Somehow Grown Apart

Cora paused in her movements. Although they lived together again after Byron returned from abusiness trip, she felt that their relationship had grown distant for some reason.

Cora would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to replace Byron missing from her side eventhough he had clearly hugged her tightly to sleep.

Sometimes, he stood by the window and smoked, looking preoccupied. Sometimes, he would fallasleep straight on the couch.

Cora could vaguely sense that there seemed to be something wrong between the two of them.However, she could not quite put her finger on it. Until she saw the red lipstick stain on Byron'sshirt..

However, after being stunned for a few seconds, she continued to help Byron unbutton theremaining buttons of his shirt.

When she was almost done helping Byron get undressed and tried to push him into the bathroom,he started getting touchy with her.

"Shall we take a shower together?" He kissed her cheeks while his hands began to wander acrossher body.

His intention to get intimate with her in the shower was obvious.

Cora could smell the odor of alcohol that his body reeked of and took another look at the whiteshirt that she had thrown on the ground.

The moment Byron's lips touched hers, she dodged. "Go ahead on your own and go to bed afterwashing up. I'll go and check on Martin."

She also shoved the towel and bathrobe directly into his hands before turning around to goupstairs.

Byron thought she just disliked the smell of alcohol on his body, so he did not think much of it andsimply turned around to enter the bathroom.

When Byron woke up the next day, Cora was already preparing to take Martin to school."Remember to lock the door when you leave.” When Cora saw that he had woken up, she gave himthose instructions with a straight face. Then, she took Martin out.

Byron tried to stretch his body, only to be restricted.

After getting up, he realized that he had fallen asleep on the couch last night.

In fact, he had been sleeping on the couch rather often lately. Due to the fact that the couch wasrelatively small, he would wake up feeling uncomfortable every single time.

However, he had been suffering from frequent insomnia recently. In order to avoid disturbing Coraand Martin, he chose to sleep on the couch instead.

As for the reasons for his insomnia... The thought of it would make him feel vexed, followed by astrong desire to smoke every single time.

However, after searching around, he still did not replace his cigarettes. He thought that there shouldstill be some in the pockets of the clothing he had changed out of yesterday.

Hence, he proceeded to rummage through the laundry basket.

Cora would set out early and come home late every day because she was busy with opening hermedical clinic.

Hence, she could only sort and do the laundry after work each night.

Byron quickly found his clothes in the laundry basket, as well as his cigarettes. However, at the sametime, he also discovered the lipstick stain on his shirt.

Recalling the fact that Cora had helped him undress last night, he reckoned that she must have seenthe lipstick mark. However, she did not say anything about it.

Byron stared at the lipstick mark and squeezed the cigarette case in his hand while his eyes becamedeep and cold...

Cora planned to head to the medical clinic after sending Martin to the kindergarten.

The clinic was already undergoing renovation. To avoid having to redo anything and affecting theproject's progress, she spent most of her time there supervising the work.

While on her way to the medical clinic, she kept thinking about the lipstick stain on Byron's shirt lastnight, which made her feel uneasy.

At this moment, a teacher from Martin's kindergarten called, "Hello, are you Martin's parent?”

"Yes, I am! Did something happen to Martin?" Cora asked, feeling as if her heart was about to jumpout of her chest.
