Chapter 44 His Arrival
Cora lay on the bed for a long time, conjuring up images of her father’s funeral, her mother lying in the intensive care unit
with burns, and her brother’s arrest.
That scene suffocated her feel almost out of breath. Finally, her mind was completely exhausted from thinking about
things. She was drifting off when she felt someone lift her quilt and touch her waist from behind.
She woke up immediately and quickly turned over to avoid the person behind her.
“Who is it?” As Cora stepped back, she grabbed her phone, intending to call the police.
But at this moment, the black figure grabbed her ankle and pulled her into his arms.
Cora tried to fight back, but the man seemed to know her tricks. He was unharmed and even held her ankle firmly.
Unable to break free, Cora bit the man’s shoulder.
At this time, a familiar male voice reached her ear.
“It’s me.”
Cora froze.
She naturally recognized the male voice as cold and stern as a rock. It was Byron.
She hurriedly let go and turned on the bedside lamp.

Byron’s chiseled and charming facial features became clear as the warm yellow light illuminated the room.
He wore black shirt and trousers, looking at her with a half-smile.
Enter title…
Cora didn’t know if it was because of the light, but there was a little more tenderness in those deep and unpredictable
eyes than usual.
“Are you that timid?” He asked.
“Things like women living alone are murdered happen from time to time, so it’s always right to take precautions.”
She used to live either at home or in a school dormitory and never lived alone.
She still remembered she almost stayed up all night the first day she moved into the LO apartment.
Even now, if she heard something, she would wake up immediately.
Only during the few nights that Byron was here could she sleep peacefully until dawn.
This might also be the main reason why she compromised several times to let Byron stay overnight and wanted to try to
develop a romantic relationship with Byron, as Sally suggested.
Cora truly hoped that she could have someone to accompany her, even without the purpose of uniting in matrimony.
“Are you a dog?”
Cora looked up and saw Byron pull off his collar, revealing the bruise she had just bitten.
“I didn’t know it was you.”
Feeling guilty after biting his noble body, Cora quickly changed the topic.
“How did you get in here?”
“When I saw your access card in the morning, I took my fingerprints,” he said calmly, as if it was a matter of course.
Cora was annoyed. After all, this was her home. He should have asked her permission before he took his fingerprints.
But Byron lay down and urged her, “Won’t you sleep? Do you want to be late tomorrow?”
Cora didn’t want to be late for work, and now there were only more than six hours left before work. She could only
hurriedly turn off the lights and go to sleep, planning to talk about the fingerprints matter tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Byron suddenly approached her from behind and kissed the back of her neck.
