Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
The simple words once again pulled at her heartstrings that had been silent for a long time.
Cora had been trying to overcome her sleep disturbances and forget about the nights they had spent together.
After persisting for some time, she felt she seldom took the initiative to think of Byron.
However, those efforts seemed to have become a joke when he said it had been a while.
Those memories seemed to revive instantly, and the bitterness in Cora’s heart began to grow crazily.
But as his calm greeting turned over in her mind, she was somewhat worthless for herself.
She still couldn’t forget those sweet pasts, while he seemed to have buried all of them without a trace…
When Cora was spaced out, Byron suddenly spoke,
“What’s wrong?”
Only then did Cora regain consciousness and realize she almost missed the elevator. Byron pressed the button to keep the elevator door from closing.
“Nothing.”
Cora pretended to be calm and got on the elevator, keeping her eyes focused on the elevator display screen.
She didn’t want to look at him for fear of falling for him again.
Unexpectedly, Byron took the initiative to talk to her.
“How are you doing recently?”
He asked.
The question sounded ironic to Cora.
“Very good. The blind date worked out, and I probably will get married by the end of the year,”
she said in a flaunting tone, not wanting to lose to his calm attitude.
Even though the success of the blind date and her getting married were not true, she showed a confident aura to make everything look real.
She didn’t know if it was because of her overly passionate tone, but Byron was finally no longer as calm as before.
“You’re going to marry him without even getting to know him?”
Byron frowned at her.
Cora said,
“Mr. Hansen, How do you know I didn’t get to know him thoroughly?”
She was voluptuous and had a foxy smile.
So the word
“thoroughly”
seemed a little sexually suggestive.
Byron’s expression changed slightly, but he still said calmly,
“Really?”
Cora only felt his indifferent attitude made the previous nights of her crying hysterically look like a joke, so she showed off her happiness even more.
“Mr. Hansen, shouldn’t you congratulate me? And, will you give me gift card when I get married?”
“You want me to give you gift card?”
Byron asked.
“Of course, I hope. No one will refuse more money.”
Cora smiled charmingly to hide her resignation.
But the same as before, Byron still accepted her request.
“Since you want it, I will give you gift card when you get married.”
At that moment, Cora really wanted to tear him apart.
“Does he not care about it at all? Does he completely move on?”
Cora thought.
But the elevator doors opened at that moment.
She arrived at her floor and regained her sanity instantly.
“Then thank you, Mr. Hansen.”
She hid all her unwillingness, turned around, and left the elevator.
Byron stared at her back until the elevator doors closed.
After reaching the floor where Osborn’s ward was, he walked out of the elevator.
He happened to meet Mark, Osborn’s fourth son, standing at the elevator door.
“Mark,”
Byron greeted him with a calm expression.
Mark looked him up and down, saying,
“I heard you met Dr. Lane downstairs. I was worried she would keep pestering you and wanted to help you!”
“She and I are not sentimental people. How could we be entangled endlessly?”
Byron didn’t see Mark and walked towards Osborn’s ward.
“Isn’t it? But I heard you got along well before, and I thought you would get married.”
Byron didn’t know whether Mark was probing or mocking him.
“She said she was going to get married at the end of the year and asked me to give her gift card. Mark, how much do you think I should give?”
Byron suddenly stopped, looked at Mark, and asked Mark for advice seriously.
Mark didn’t expect the two to have such a positive attitude towards it, which Cora dared to ask for gift card, and Byron really planned to do it.
“It’s your choice. If you had some affection for her before, give more. If not, you don’t have to give it. I don’t know you young people,”
Mark said and then didn’t mention Cora again.
After seeing the patients upstairs, Cora went to see Lucas after getting off work.
The two went to dinner and then watched a movie.
During the period, Lucas asked Cora to take many photos together, saying he wanted to post them on
Instagram.
Considering Flora occasionally asked how she and Lucas were doing, Cora took out her phone and said,
“I’ll take a few photos too and show them to my mom.”
Lucas readily agreed.
“Let’s shoot it. I have no problem if you post them on Instagram.”
Cora suddenly thought of Byron’s indifferent look today, so she took a selfie with Lucas cheek to cheek and posted it on Instagram.
In addition to posting a cheek-to-cheek photo with Lucas, she edited: [I wonder how many gift cards I can get when I get married at the end of the year.]
She knew Byron would see it.
After posting the photo, she was looking forward to something, yet she didn’t know what she was expecting.
In short, before falling asleep, she kept scrolling through Instagram to see if there was Byron’s like or comments.
But there weren’t any!
No matter how many times she scrolled through Instagram, she didn’t see any reaction from Byron.
After scrolling through Instagram for a long time and seeing no like or comment from Byron, Cora suddenly felt everything she had done was meaningless.
To Byron, she was a paid plaything.
Now that they had been separated, it was normal for him not to pay attention to her anymore.
She posted a photo with such fanfare to attract Byron’s attention.
But in the end, she found out that she had been doing useless work and that being sad was her own matter. Byron didn’t notice it at all or even pretended not to notice it.
She was afraid the photo would only remind herself how humble she was, so she deleted it in the end.
Like deleting the photo, Cora hoped she could completely drive Byron out of her mind.
Unexpectedly, at the dinner party with Lucas the next day, she ran into the person she wanted to forget again.
At noon, Lucas suddenly sent Cora a message: [Dr. Lane, our company will hold a party tonight. Can you keep me company?]
[What kind of party?] Cora replied after finishing treating a patient.
[Our team has completed a project, and the company will hold the party to commend us.]
After spending much time with Lucas during this period, Cora knew he worked at a game company called Moonware Games.
She didn’t think it should be a problem to attend a game company’s celebration party.
So she agreed.
However, only when she arrived at the dinner party did she realize how big it was.
She not only saw Harry, but also Sara and William, and more importantly, she saw Jane and Byron…
Cora suddenly regretted coming to this party. She planned to leave after talking to Lucas.
But Lucas looked delighted at the sight of her.
“Thank you for coming to accompany me. I always feel a little awkward on such occasions.”
