Filed to story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“Both of you have pretty good looks, and the children you will give birth to in the future will definitely be very good-looking. You need to have a few more.”
Cora couldn’t help laughing.
In fact, she just laughed at Flora for overthinking. Byron couldn’t even give her a marriage. How could he have a child with her?
It was just that Flora misunderstood her smile.
“What are you laughing at? Could it be that Byron doesn’t look good? This is the first time I’ve seen such a good-looking person in my entire life.
“Just for his good look, you have to let him go when you two have quarrels.”
Facing Flora’s earnest persuasion, Cora was speechless.
For the first time, she knew that her mother also judged people by their looks.
This wicked face-judging world!
Two days after Flora’s operation, Cora asked a nurse to take care of her and returned to work.
Anyway, she was now the main labor force in the family, and she must not be exhausted. Otherwise, how would she and Flora survive?
But as soon as Cora returned to work, Tyler came to her.
“Cora, I’m really sorry about what happened that day. I didn’t expect to be absent at a critical moment.”
Tyler’s handsome face was full of apology.
“Tyler, anyone can have an emergency. Don’t worry about it.”
But the more indifferent Cora was, the more panicked Tyler became.
He always felt like something was missing.
“Tyler, if you have nothing else to say, I’ll go back to work first. Mr. Gray is still waiting!”
Cora left after saying this, because there were really too many patients in the emergency room today.
But Tyler stopped her again.
“Cora, wait. This is for you.”
“What is this?”
Cora took the card from him.
“My grandfather’s 70th birthday is the day after tomorrow. You should come.”
“It’s unsuitable for me to celebrate your grandpa’s birthday.”
Holding the invitation card, Cora hesitated.
She still had self-knowledge. She would not be welcomed anywhere since the Lane family was broke.
“I just want you to come and have fun. There’s nothing wrong with it. If you don’t go, you’re still mad at me!”
“I’m not mad at you at all. It’s really not suitable for me to appear on this occasion.”
Cora wanted to put Tyler’s invitation card back into his hands, but Tyler quickly stepped back.
“There’s nothing inappropriate. I invited several colleagues from the hospital that day, including Sally.
She can company you then.”
Finally, Cora agreed.
When Cora returned to the emergency room, Sally gave the patient’s family the examination receipt.
“Go to the first window on the left to pay the fee, and then go for the examination.”
After speaking, Sally saw the invitation card in Cora’s pocket.
“I knew that somebody invited me with other intentions.”
She meant that Tyler invited her to celebrate his grandfather’s birthday to invite Cora too.
Cora explained,
“Sally, he just wanted to make up for me because he broke our appointment that day.”
“What a nonsense! I don’t believe that he didn’t invite you without other intentions.”
Cora didn’t want to explain anymore.
On the contrary, Sally asked her,
“However, your ex-boyfriends will definitely be there even if the
Cooper family won’t invite many people. What are you going to do then?”
Cora blinked her eyes and then realized that the
“ex-boyfriends”
that Sally said were Eason and Carter, respectively.
Although the Cooper family was not one of the four wealthy families in New York, it was an old and well-known family here. Even the people in power of the four wealthy families wanted to make friends with them.
So it could be expected that not only Eason and Carter would be present, but also all the prestigious people in New York.
Even her sex partner Byron, the new richest man in New York, would also be present.
Thinking of Byron, Cora paused before saying.
“What else can I do? Just nod to them. We are all adults, so there is no need to keep them out of touch as if I didn’t let it go.”
“So big-hearted. No wonder many people regard you as the prettiest and most intelligent in the
Department of Medicine.”
Sally agreed with Cora and immediately complimented her.
At this time, a group of people injured in a serial car accident were sent to the hospital, stopping them from chatting and throwing themselves into intense rescue work.
Cora, who just said she should treat her ex easily, took out her mobile phone when she got home at night, hesitating whether to send a message or call Byron.
After staying with her in the hospital’s operating room for a while that day, Byron never contacted her again.
This made her reflect on whether her words really hurt him that day.
But after thinking about it, she didn’t feel she hurt him. After all, Byron dated her for that.
She looked at the dialog box with Byron. She added him to her friends after that day in the hospital.
After hesitating, Cora sent him a message: [Hello?]
As a result, Byron didn’t reply until midnight, as if the message was missing.
Staring at the dialog box, Cora always felt that she saw her humbleness and flattery, so she deleted the dialog box before going to bed.
After this dialog box was deleted, it never appeared again.
It wasn’t until two days later, on Gideon’s birthday, that Cora saw the man who seemed to have disappeared again…
Gideon’s birthday was celebrated at the Cooper Villa.
Even though they didn’t mean to make the celebration extravagant, there were still a lot of luxury cars gathered at the door, and everyone was dressed up to attend.
When Cora and Sally arrived, most of the guests had already arrived.
After Sally scanned the venue, she couldn’t help complimenting Cora.
“Cora, I feel that in the entire venue, no woman can compare with you. Look at Eason. His eyes were fixed on you.”
When Cora heard Sally’s words, she couldn’t help but gaze at Eason, who had just entered the venue with her parents and Mia.
She saw Eason was wearing a black suit, whose color really made him look mature.
Mia, also wearing a little black dress beside him, looked much slenderer. They looked matched by wearing clothes of the same color.
But Eason had been staring at Cora all the time. His eyes were hot and fixed on her, hotter than when they were in a relationship. No wonder Sally teased her like that just now.
Cora paused for a moment and calmly nodded to Eason as a greeting, just as she said to Sally before.
Cora thought their relationship was ended and wanted to let it go.
Cora felt the relationship could no longer influence her, but Eason became uneasy because of her calmness and relief.
So he disregarded his mother and Mia’s obstruction and approached Cora, pretending to be calm.
“Cora, Sally! Are you coming to celebrate Gideon’s birthday too?”
He greeted Sally, but he didn’t even look at her.
How could Sally not know his motive?
“Yes, Tyler invited us.”
Cora responded with a smile.
Sally also smiled and said hello to Eason, and of course, she did not forget to annoy Eason.
“Tyler is concerned about Cora, so this time, he also invited me because I’m her friend.”
“Tyler was Cora’s senior brother! Of course, he would care about her.”
Eason didn’t like it when Sally tries to make Tyler and Cora related.
“Not really. Tyler isn’t a playboy and doesn’t care about girls so easily like someone.”
Who Sally was talking about was obvious. How could Eason not know that Sally was satirizing him?
“Sally, how am I a playboy?”
Eason was still easy to be annoyed, just as before.
Sally quickly smiled and said,
“I’m sorry, Mr. Patton. I said that wrong. You are not a playboy. You are easy to fall in love with.”
Cora was speechless.
