Chapter 69 His Gift

• Byron narrowed his eyes and kept looking at her. Cora was embarrassed and annoyed. But Byron didn’t go too far. Seeing Cora’s face flush, Byron put the bath towel on her but inevitably touched her skin a little. “Why were you so angry just now?” “Will you not be angry if you are pushed into the sea for no reason?” Byron had a feeling that there was more reason for Cora’s anger, but he didn’t ask anymore since she didn’t want to say it. “How about we do something that makes you happy?” Byron’s words only alarmed Cora, and she took a step back. “What do you mean? Wasn’t it last night that... Last night, they didn’t stop fooling around until it was almost dawn.
• Although they both enjoyed it, Cora felt they would die if they kept doing it. “I meant you should check the box outside. What were you thinking?"Byron suddenly looked down at Cora. With his dazzling eyes, Cora could see her own reflection. It made her nervous, and she quickly ran out of the bathroom. Soon, Cora saw the box Byron talked about. It was actually a suitcase of the largest size. It was not locked with a sword, so it opened as soon as she lifted the lid. Lying inside was a piece of rosewood. The color and texture were both quite good, and Cora couldn’t help but touch it. “This is small-leaf rosewood, the best among all rosewood. And the hardness of this piece is definitely the best among small-leaf rosewoods.
• Where did you get it?” Cora sounded overjoyed. Byron once said that he would give her a piece of rosewood. She thought it would only be big-leaf rosewood or some other ordinary kind of rosewood. Because it was hard to find small-leaf rosewood, and she was too ordinary for him to go through all the trouble. But here it was: the best small-leaf rosewood. She had never expected it. “It’s not important. The most important thing is... Happy birthday!” Byron’s words suddenly pulled all of Cora’s attention back from this piece of rosewood, and she turned back. Not far away from her, Byron was standing tall. He wore a smoky blue shirt and casually left the top two buttons undone. The expression on his face was aloof, as usual.
