Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“You overthink. Those men were picky about me. Some people thought I spent too long in the hospital every day and couldn’t cook, take the children, and care for their parents at home. Some said that my mother’s medical expenses gave them a headache and that we could go further if I could handle it myself. And some felt I can’t afford the down payment when we get married, so it’s unfair to share the property with me.”
As soon as Cora complained about the recent blind date, she loosened her tongue.
“The most ridiculous thing is that someone said I was too pretty and worried I would cheat on him.”
Of course, some people didn’t make judgments about Cora. But they got inappropriate ideas when they ogled her and kept talking dirty to her.
In short, Cora began to question everything in life after her blind dates during this period.
Lucas was the first one that made her feel relaxed.
“Me too. The other party asked me if I had a car and a house as soon as we met. They asked me what kind of car it was and where the house was located. Some said they wouldn’t live with my parents after marriage and wouldn’t have children. They also said we couldn’t interfere with each other’s lives too much.”
Lucas also became a nonstop chatter and complained with Cora.
“Since they don’t want to do anything, they shouldn’t have been out on a blind date and wasted each other’s time.”
Speaking of which, Lucas asked Cora,
“I’m almost thirty, and I work in the tech industry. My family was worried I would be with a man, so they were so anxious to let me go on a blind date. Dr. Lane, you look young and have many strengths. Why are you in such a hurry to get married?”
“Actually, it’s because of my mother. She tasked me with getting married at the end of the year on a whim.”
When it came to Flora, Cora showed a tired look. She still didn’t understand why she insisted on letting her get married so soon.
Lucas seemed to see Cora’s embarrassment and helplessness in dealing with the blind date. He suddenly asked,
“Dr. Lane, why don’t we cooperate?”
Cora looked up at him, and he continued,
“Being forced to go on a blind date also gave me a headache, and it’s the same for you. Why don’t we tell our families we’ve fallen in love with each other, so we don’t have to continue to be forced to go on a blind date?”
“But…”
Cora wanted to say she didn’t want to be in a relationship recently, let alone waste his time.
But Lucas seemed to know what she would say. He hurriedly said,
“I just want to avoid being forced to go on a blind date every week. Anyway, I don’t want to be in a relationship for now, and you seem to think the same way.”
Lucas didn’t intend to develop a relationship with her, so Cora heaved a sigh of relief.
“What if they ask us how we’re doing?”
“Then we will act together once in a while. We can watch a movie, have a meal, or post pictures on
Instagram. We just need to let them know there is progress.”
Seeing that Cora was still hesitant, Lucas continued,
“When they force us to get married, or one of us has someone we like, we can play a breakup scene and end everything. How about it, Dr. Lane?”
Cora had long wanted to get rid of the trouble of weekly blind dates, but she had been unable to refuse
Flora.
So Lucas’s proposal was a great temptation for her.
After hesitating for only a few seconds, Cora quickly reached out and said,
“I’m looking forward to a pleasant cooperation!”
A gleam flashed in Lucas’s eyes, and he shook hands with Cora.
“Me too, Dr. Lane.”
After reaching cooperation, they had a pleasant meal.
Lucas proposed to send Cora back after the meal.
Cora agreed.
Flora was delighted the next morning when she heard that Cora had a successful blind date.
In addition to giving some candies to her fellow patients as the celebration, she personally sent Jane a scarf knitted by herself.
When she arrived at Jane’s office, Jane had just finished seeing a patient.
“Dr. Yoris, I’m here to tell you good news. This won’t take too long.”
Because Cora brought back the untouched seafood porridge last time, Flora was somewhat cautious when she saw Jane this time.
But seeing Flora was kind and polite, Jane didn’t forcefully refuse her to enter the office.
“Take a seat. I’ll make you a glass of juice.”
said Jane.
She took some concentrated lemon juice and made lemonade for Flora.
But Flora was still cautious after sitting down in her office.
Jane handed the lemonade to Flora and said casually,
“Please don’t be nervous. Actually, I just got a little emotional last time because you touched my things while I was not in the office.”
Although she didn’t like Flora, they were in the hospital now, and she didn’t want to see Flora’s anxious look before her because it would make others misunderstand that she was difficult to get along with.
“I knew you have a good character and are kind.”
Flora took the lemonade and touched the glass, looking very happy and touched.
But Jane didn’t like her staying in her office for too long. She urged,
“What’s the good news? Please make it quickly. I still have a few patients to see.”
“Cora’s blind date worked out, and they probably will get married by the end of the year.”
But after Flora finished speaking, Jane frowned.
“What does it have to do with me?”
Even if Flora didn’t need to tell her, Jane knew Byron and Cora hadn’t had much contact recently.
The person Jane had sent to watch near Cora’s apartment said that he hardly saw Byron spending the night there recently.
Although Byron and Cora seemed to have broken up, he didn’t meet Jane more times because of this.
But Jane was relieved to know Cora was with another man.
However, she didn’t understand why Flora would tell her the news excitedly.
“Didn’t you want me to urge Cora to get married as soon as possible before?”
Flora asked.
Flora’s question made Jane wonder.
Jane didn’t expect Flora to take her words as an order and obey it.
“Is it because I gave her a deduction on the surgery, or is there some other reason?”
She thought.
When Jane was thinking, Flora suddenly handed her a scarf.
“You seem to like this pattern, so I knitted you a scarf with this pattern on it.”
Jane took the scarf and found it was embroidered with her favorite cartoon pattern.
Although her embroidery was not very good, Jane could tell Flora had worked hard on it, and every stitch was careful.
But she still didn’t understand why Flora treated her so well.
Seeing Jane looking at the scarf silently, Flora said,
“Just throw it away if you don’t like it. Don’t let Cora see it. She always thought I knitted this scarf for her.”
Jane immediately understood that Flora was worried she would return the scarf like she had returned the seafood porridge last time.
“I like it. Thank you,”
Jane said evenly.
But Flora was overjoyed.
“As long as you like it. Then I’ll go back to my ward.”
Flora walked away.
But she didn’t know that the moment she left Jane’s office, Jane threw the scarf in the drawer…
After Cora and Lucas pretended to be in a relationship, their lives went much smoother.
But Cora received Lucas’s message one day:[Dr. Lane, my dad seemed suspicious and asked me why
I haven’t gone out on a date recently.]
[Oh, yeah? Do you need my help?] Cora had adapted to the way the two got along.
[Yeah. Let’s have dinner and watch a movie in the evening, then post photos on Instagram.]
[Okay. Send me the time and place later.]
Cora was still working in the hospital. She replied to Lucas while waiting for the elevator.
Unexpectedly, she saw that familiar figure making her heart throb as soon as the elevator door opened as soon as she put the phone in her pocket.
It was Byron.
She hadn’t seen him for nearly two months.
He was still tall and charming as always. Cora didn’t know if it was her illusion, but he seemed to be obviously thinner.
His already chiseled facial features seemed to become sharper.
Cora was about to fall for his charming eyes when she heard Byron greet her indifferently,
“Hello. It’s been a while.”
