Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 729

"If you ask, I'll tell. We're in that kind of relationship. Can I still deceive you?"

Byron kept his eyes closed and leaned against the back seat, but his hand sought out Cora's. Despite her struggles, he tightly held her hand, and she eventually gave in.

"About the lip mark on your shirt earlier, was it from Evie?" As she asked this question, she couldn't help but observe Byron.

Seeing the man who had kept his eyes closed all this time finally open them to look at her.

"You held that question back until now? Were you afraid of bursting?"

There was a hint of a smile in his cold gaze, faint but genuine.

At that moment, Cora felt that man had been waiting for her here all along!

She felt frustrated and glanced out the window.

"Yes..."

The man's response made her even more furious, and she struggled momentarily to free her hand from his grip.

However, Byron exerted all his strength to control her, even going so far as to embrace her tightly.

"Cora, don't move. I know you're angry, but it was accidental. When she went to pick up my lighter, it brushed against her."

"So you're giving her an excuse?"

"That's the truth. I'm not making excuses for anyone."

Cora was instantly filled with uncontrollable anger.

Just as they arrived near their apartment, Cora instructed the driver to stop the car and then got out.

Byron quickly followed.

Walking one behind the other, Byron explained from behind, "Cora, the reason I indulged her is because she said she's your old classmate. Because of you, I didn't make a big deal out of it."

Annoyed, Cora turned back. "Do you know that we're not on good terms?"

Byron came closer, encircling her waist and lowering his face, his dark eyes gazing deeply into hers.

"I know now. When you were so angry just now, I realized I might have been wrong."

He noticeably lowered his voice, carrying a hint of appeasement.
