Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
Tyler was afraid that his lie would be nailed or something else, and the light in his eyes seemed to be fading rapidly.
Cora feared either Tyler would be upset or they would be embarrassed when the lie was nailed. She smiled,
“I haven’t given Sir Cooper the birthday present yet!”
Saying that Cora took out a delicate little gift box from her bag, saying,
“Sir Cooper, I wish you a happy birthday again.”
Gideon took the small gift box.
“Thank you. Remember to come here often when you are free.”
And then, Tyler dragged Cora to run outside before Cora responded to Gideon.
He knew his actions looked immature, but he couldn’t control it.
He was too afraid that Cora would reject him. Especially since he was not able to be with Cora during
Flora’s operation that day, he felt more and more distant from Cora.
That was why he thought that whether Cora agreed to be his girlfriend or not, he announced it to others first.
Tyler dragged Cora out without paying attention to other people.
She only knew that there were many people at the back room door at the moment, and they must all come to celebrate the birthday.
She got uneasy after Tyler announced she was his girlfriend.
She just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, when Tyler dragged her to the door, he suddenly greeted someone.
“Byron, when did you be here?”
Tyler was in awe of Byron, so when Byron was usually invited to the Cooper Villa, he would receive him.
But today, his attention was on Cora, so he missed meeting Byron.
The
“Byron”
that Cora heard came as a bolt from the blue.
She panicked and looked up towards the door like a machine.
Seeing that extraordinary man who shined like a diamond, who is it but Byron?
His eyes were as distant and indifferent as ever, even though they met her eyes.
She wondered if he arrived just now and didn’t hear what Tyler just said.
But at this moment, she heard the familiar stern male voice.
“I’ve been here since you introduced your girlfriend.”
Cora was speechless.
She was worried whether Byron was angry.
But when she looked at his handsome face again, she found he seemed not angry at all.
Well, Cora thought he must only need her only when he felt bored, and she was dispensable for him.
So he didn’t care she was another man’s girlfriend.
She felt she should have known this earlier, but why was she still so sad that she wanted to cry when treated like this?
“Oh, it turns out that you arrived so early. I would have picked you up if I had known earlier.”
Tyler was talking with Byron, and Byron responded calmly.
Only Cora felt extremely anxious.
“You guys talk. I am going out with Sally.”
After saying this, Cora dragged Sally away without looking back.
Looking at Cora’s almost fleeing figure, Tyler hurriedly said,
“Byron, I’ll go back and check on Cora first.
We’ll talk later.”
Without waiting for Byron’s reply, Tyler hastily followed after Cora.
Watching the two of them leave, Byron’s slightly tense profile revealed a hint of sharpness.
On the side, Jane suddenly spoke up,
“This is the first time I’ve seen Tyler care so much about someone.”
While speaking, Jane discreetly turned her gaze from following the two and secretly observed Byron’s face.
“But isn’t Dr. Lane Carter’s girlfriend? How did she become Tyler’s girlfriend?”
She seemed to be expressing her doubts, but in fact, she was subtly conveying to Byron that Cora was a fickle and untrustworthy woman, always changing her mind.
After hearing Tyler introduce Cora as his girlfriend just now, Jane couldn’t help but secretly feel happy.
She was dating multiple guys at the same time and secretly flirting with Byron. She got caught in the act. It was like the ending of a trashy female antagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel.
Jane felt she didn’t need to do anything then, as she could watch Byron deal with Cora personally.
However, the man just gave her a cold glance and said,
“If you’re so interested in gossip, why become a doctor? Wouldn’t it be better to be a paparazzo?”
That remark made Jane feel like being drenched with a bucket of icy water during the snowy season of
December.
“Byron, I…”
Jane wanted to explain something, but Byron didn’t even spare her a second glance and went straight to offer birthday wishes to Gideon.
Watching Byron’s indifferent figure, Jane felt a sense of unease in her heart.
She couldn’t understand why Byron still favored Cora, even when it was so obvious that she was a scumbag.
Just when Jane was extremely annoyed, Gideon’s teasing voice came.
“Jane, you’re here too? You and Cora must be about to have your wedding banquets soon.”
Jane had to set aside all her grievances temporarily and stepped forward to socialize.
As for the balance in Byron’s heart, it still leaned towards Cora. Jane could only think that Byron didn’t want others to know that he had feelings for such a despicable woman, so he used such a discreet method to conceal it.
Indeed, Jane could only find a way to comfort herself so as not to feel so uncomfortable.
After all, she was the one who could openly stand by Byron’s side then. The title of Mrs. Hansen would eventually belong to her. As long as she didn’t lose her composure, everything would fall into place.
As for Cora, she had already dug her own grave just then, so there was no need to worry about her anymore.
On the other side, Tyler followed Cora and Sally to the small courtyard of the Cooper family.
“Cora, you chat with Tyler. I’ll go taste the pastries over there.”
Seeing Tyler’s expression as if he had something to say, Sally quickly excused herself and left.
As soon as she left, Tyler quickly spoke up.
“Cora, I’m sure today’s events came as a surprise to you. I apologize for not discussing it with you beforehand.”
Tyler apologized and said,
“But I couldn’t help it. Lately, my grandfather has been constantly arranging blind dates for me. On the day I promised to accompany you while Mrs. Flora Lane was having surgery,
I had to change my plans at the last minute because my grandfather insisted on taking me to blind dates.”
“I really dislike being dragged into blind dates every day. It’s making it hard for me to focus on my work.
I’ve been…”
As he looked at the beautiful profile of Cora, Tyler’s admiration for her that had built up over the years was almost about to slip out of his mouth.
But at that moment, Cora suddenly spoke up,
“Tyler, using me as an excuse to avoid arranged dates at home is not a long-term solution. You should find a sister-in-law for me as soon as possible. This burden is too heavy for me to bear.”
Tyler’s shyness instantly faded a lot.
Even though Cora didn’t mean to blame him, she was actually rejecting his courtship.
That made Tyler’s long and sweet words stuck in his throat.
After a long time, he was able to speak again,
“Cora, I didn’t mean to give you a burden. With the backing of the Cooper family, no one will dare to mess with you in New York anymore.”
“I know you mean well, but I can’t take advantage of you.”
She hoped her love to be pure and clean.
“Then, will you still help me in front of my family?”
Tyler’s final words carried a hint of humility.
Perhaps precisely because of this humility, Cora couldn’t bear to refuse.
“Hmm, I will. But let’s make a deal. It’s only for situations when your family pressures you into blind dates.”
As Tyler was about to negotiate further, Cora quickly interjected.
“I’ll go check if Sally found something delicious to eat.”
Finishing saying that, Cora almost fled the scene.
While Tyler watched her charming figure, he couldn’t help but feel a bit desolate.
