Chapter 409

Chapter 409 You Owe Me “Who is this?”

Byron answered the phone, and on the other end, he heard Jane’s sobbing.

“Byron, it’s me.”

To anyone else, her crying voice might evoke sympathy, but to Byron, it only made him feel inexplicably annoyed.

1/5 “Don’t call me if there’s nothing wrong,” he replied, wanting to hang up the phone immediately.

But Jane continued, “I ran away from home without telling my grandfather and father. I got lost outside, and I lost my wallet and phone. I don’t know what to do...”

She still had a sobbing tone, and her voice trembled, portraying a sense of fear and helplessness.

Yet, as Byron heard her words, he suddenly remembered how Cora had dealt with Nicholas intruding into her room to violate her.

The situation was much more severe than losing a phone and wallet, yet she hadn’t called him for help. Instead, she took care of Nicholas herself.

As for the incident with Nicholas being mauled by hyenas, apart from initially crying upon hearing the news, Cora didn’t show Chapter 409 You Owe Me any other signs of distress.

Even though she was still scared, she didn’t display it or seek pity intentionally.

Just like now, while he was on the phone, Cora obediently waited near the baggage claim area.

2/5 When their luggage arrived, she didn’t ask him or Carter for help. Instead, she carried all their three suitcases down herself.

Compared with Cora, Jane seemed much more pretentious.

His tone suddenly became a lot colder.

“If you lose your phone and wallet, report it to the police. Even elementary school students know this common sense. If you can’t handle such a small matter, you must either be stupid or useless.”

He could almost imagine that if Cora had encountered the same situation, she would have probably caught the thief herself and taken them straight to the police station without seeking pity from unrelated people.

“Byron, I’m just so scared. I...”

Jane only planned to create an opportunity to be alone with Byron.

And if he could pity her, he might even let her stay in his apartment.

Chapter 409 You Owe Me However, she never expected Byron’s reaction to be like this.

3/5 “If you want sympathy, you should go to Harry,” he mercilessly exposed Jane’s intentions before hanging up on her.

Inside the phone booth, Jane burst into laughter after being hung up on.

Byron actually asked her to find Harry.

Since that was the case, she would do as he wished!

She only hoped that he wouldn’t regret it...

After ending the call, Byron quickly went up to help Cora with their luggage.

Carter called a driver to assist in carrying the bags and sent Byron and Cora back to their apartment.

After such a long and tiring day that felt like ages, they didn’t plan to do anything to make them even more exhausted.

Unexpectedly, the power suddenly went out before Cora could put on her clothes after she finished taking a shower.

The scenes of the hyenas devouring Nicholas, which she had deliberately tried to forget, filled her mind once again, making it difficult for her to catch her breath.

When she was about to drown in her despair, a beam of light fell Chapter 409 You Owe Me 4/5 on her.

“Are you okay?”

Cora looked up and saw Byron holding a flashlight.

Instantly, Cora threw herself into Byron’s arms, regardless of her nudity.

“What’s wrong?”

Byron felt her trembling, so he didn’t push her away.

“I’m okay!” Her response only made Byron think she was still being stubborn.

However, she didn’t want to bring up those things, and Byron didn’t mention them either. Instead, he teased her playfully, “Wow, you’re so enthusiastic. How much money do you expect?”

As his hand slipped downwards, she realized that he had been turned on again.

“You perv!”

She tried to hit Byron, but he was much taller. Soon, he locked her in his arms and did whatever he wanted.

Initially, Byron hadn’t intended to do anything. He just wanted to distract Cora and prevent her from feeling too scared.

But gradually, his breathing also became a mess.

Chapter 409 You Owe Me After all, it had been nearly three months since Cora’s rib fracture, and they hadn’t had such intimate contact for a long while.

5/5 And now, since Cora was locked in his arms naked, he could no longer control his desire.

When both of them were hot and bothered, Cora tried to let Byron get a condom.

But Byron’s seductive voice sounded beside her ear. “You promised to have kids with me...”
