Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
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.
Though he still had a trace of drunkenness, it was rather charming.
At least, Cora’s heart was truly swayed.
However, she didn’t want this man to think that this tactic worked so well on her.
What if he used this ploy to get away with his mistakes in the future?
Plus, just a while ago, she had been crying into her pillow at home because he left without a word.She rushed over to pick him up when Harry mentioned that he was drunk And what did she end up encountering? He and the person she now detested the most, Evie, was acting all lovey??ovey!
Furious in her heart, she couldn’t forgive him.
So she struggled to break free, trying to separate herself from him However, his iron grip held her tightly, not allowing her the slightest movement At the same time, he continued explaining,
“If I had known she had a conflict with you, I definitely wouldn’t have helped her just to save face in front of you”
Speaking, Byron even lowered his head, carefully observing Cora’s eyes, then furrowing his brow.
“Were you crying just now?”
Her eye sockets were so red, and there was still a trace of tears in her eyes. The tip of her nose and her forehead were also red.
This was clearly the appearance of crying.
Damn it, the lighting in the private room was dim just now, and he couldn’t notice any of this.
If he had known she had been crying, he wouldn’t have waited until she called him to come back home.
Filled with self??lame, Byron’s hand around Cora’s waist tightened noticeably.
He remembered that before he left home, Cora had a cold expression and ignored him.
Was that because of Evie?
“How did that woman bully you?”
Such an insignificant person dared to make Cora cry, and she would pay a bloody price for it!
Cora had been maintaining a stern expression, but upon hearing his concerned tone, her nose inexplicably tingled and felt sore.
Seeing that tears were welling up in Cora’s eyes and her eyes were turning red, Byron became even more anxious.
“What did she do?”
Since Cora hadn’t said anything, the man suddenly let go of her and strode towards the direction of the club.
Seeing his expression, Cora asked,
“Where are you going?”
“Kill her!”
The man’s words were concise and to the point!
He had no patience for anyone who made her cry.
Cora shouted,
“It’s not because of her.”
“Then who?”
Byron asked as if he had realized something, raising an eyebrow.
“Me?”
Cora remained silent.
He suddenly confirined the answer and once again embraced her tightly.
“How did I offend you? I just wanted to have a wedding with you, to let the world know that you’re my wife, nothing more.”Hearing him say this, Cora choked up,
“But you also have to look at my face. What if my face remains like this forever? What should we do?”
Byron was taken aback for a moment.
It was at this moment that he realized that Cora had been avoiding discussing the wedding because of the scars on her face.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think things through. But even if your face stays like this forever, it’s the most beautiful in my eyes, incomparable to anyone else.”
“You’re speaking too lightly. I bet you wouldn’t think the same way if you had to look at my scarred face every day!”
He was practically worshipped in New York, and when people came to attend their wedding, there would be no shortage of guests.
In the minds of those people, only someone as beautiful as a celestial being could be worthy of a man like him.
At the wedding, even if they didn’t say anything to her face, there would be plenty of discussions behind her back At first, he probably wouldn’t find anything wrong with what others were saying.
But as time went on, he would likely become annoyed, feeling that all of this was caused by her.
Besides, Sally had also told her. Men were creatures who thought with their lower bodies.
If her face remained like this, he probably wouldn’t be able to think of her in that way anymore, and infidelity would become a matter of time.In these days, just thinking about these things, she had the impulse to dig up Flora’s grave and flush her ashes down the toilet.
However, her upbringing didn’t allow her to do such things, so she could only hide all her anger and unease deep inside.
Until this moment, when she finally opened up, she was choked with sobs.
Seeing her like this, Byron sealed her lips with his own, using his actions to convey that her worries were baseless.
In the bustling street, people passing by couldn’t help but take notice of this overly passionate display of affection.
Feeling the curious gazes of others, Cora attempted several times to push Byron away.
However, he seemed resolute, holding onto her tightly regardless of her resistance. He was determined to convey to her that his interest in her would never fade.
In the end, Cora found herself succumbing to this kiss, unable to resist its allure.
She wasn’t sure how long she shamelessly kissed Byron.
All she knew was that when they finally stopped, her whole mouth felt numb.
And Byron’s gaze had become even more scorching His voice, too, had grown husky.
“Do you still doubt that my interest in you would change because of your face?”His gaze was intense, with only her reflection in his dark, luminous eyes.
Coupled with his poised stance, Cora couldn’t help but feel that if she denied his words at this moment, he might just go rogue right there on the street, What could Cora do?
Of course, she couldn’t refute him!
They had already engaged in such an embarrassing act in public. If he were to do something even more outrageous, she would truly be too ashamed to face anyone.
Seeing Cora lower her gaze and tacitly accept what he had said, Byron smiled as he lifted Cora horizontally into his arms.
“What are you doing?”
Cora’s body suddenly left the ground, and she felt a bit panicked.
“Going home to give Martin a little sister…”
Cora realized what the man intended to do, and with irritation, she raised her fist and tried to punch him.
The next day, when Carter reported his work schedule to Byron, Byron suddenly interrupted him.
Byron ordered,
“Check it out. What conflicts did Evie have with Cora before?”
After last night, he still felt that Cora strangely responded for seeing Evie when her entered the room.
“Who’s Evie?”
Carter asked.
“It’s a waitress in the premium suite of the Eversong Club,”
Byron answered.
Carter had also attended Harry’s gathering party at the Eversong Club before, and he had heard then that those people discussed that Evie and Byron had an intimate relationship.
Some people even deliberately consumed more than a dozen bottles of high??nd drinks in the room just to let Evie get a satisfactory commission and to help them with a few words of kindness before Byron.
Therefore, Carter also had a little impression of her.
“Okay, I’ll give you the answer when I get off work,”
