"What did you misunderstand?" Sally questioned.
"It's not exactly a misunderstanding. It's more like I've overestimated my importance. I'm not as important to certain people as I thought. I can easily be replaced," Cora said, taking the last sip of her drink from the glass.
She was laughing at herself.
She was making fun of herself, laughing at that she believed Byron had come to the Royal Club's fourth floor just for her, ridiculing her assumption that he had brought the drinks for her.
However, Elena's timely appearance from his private room shattered her presumptions.
Cora repeatedly reminded herself, thinking, "Even without Byron, I survived for four years, didn't I? So, there's no need to make a big deal out of it."
Yet, she couldn't ignore the overwhelming emptiness in her heart. It felt like something had been scooped out, leaving her feeling miserable. In a desperate attempt to numb the pain, Cora poured another glass of alcohol and gulped it down.
Seeing Cora so distressed, Sally decided to throw caution to the wind and join Cora in drinking.
As a result, both of them ended up getting heavily drunk.
By the time the party ended, Sally and Cora were utterly intoxicated.
Tyler had to ask Matt to take Sally back while he took it upon himself to see Cora safely back to the Yoris Mansion...
The following morning, Cora awoke in an unfamiliar setting, feeling dazed.
Yet, after seeing Martin sleeping peacefully beside her, she instantly felt calm.
After planting a soft kiss on Martin's cheek, she rolled out of bed to begin her morning routine.
As per the original plan, she had planned to take Martin to explore some kindergartens that day.
Although Byron, Sara, and Nora suddenly acquired several kindergartens, Cora decided to let Martin grow up in a typical environment.
So they agreed not to reveal Martin's identity, even if he enrolled in kindergarten.
Sara was initially against it, but when she saw Cora's determination, she reluctantly gave in.
