Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“I think your parents may not like me.”
Although she knew she had no right to let everyone like her, she hoped the Hansen elders would recognize her.
But Byron’s brothers didn’t even attend this visit, and the Hansen elders always called her
“Dr. Lane”. It made Cora feel they didn’t treat her as their future family.
Byron said,
“They like you. My parents were the same when my brothers took their girlfriends back.
They’re just not good at expressing their emotions.”
Cora wondered,
“Is it just that they are not good at expressing emotions?”
She was still a little uneasy.
But today, apart from meeting Byron’s parents, she also had an appointment with Matt to talk about
Flora’s second operation, so she could only temporarily forget about her upset.
After repeatedly discussing with Matt, Flora’s second surgery was scheduled for two weeks later.
Cora came home. Before she could tell Byron about it, he pressed her against the door.
“You came back so late.”
Byron kissed her neck, and his voice was hoarse.
“It’s only eight o’clock. I came back as soon as I ate supper. Is it too late?”
Cora wanted to push him away.
The weather was hot today. Cora was sweating and wanted to take a bath first.
But Byron ignored her struggle and put her on the bed.
“Bastard! Are you crazy? I’ve told you that I hurried back.”
“No. I restrained for a week and can’t control myself.”
Byron kept his movement and gave a highfalutin explanation.
“Don’t…
I’ll get pregnant.”
Cora tried to stop him.
But Byron didn’t care about it.
“We will get married. It’s okay to conceive a child.”
In the end, Cora was unsure if the marriage or his persuasive temptation tempted her. She didn’t stop him and had sex a few times…
The next morning when Cora got up, her body was so sore. She returned to work with a tired body.
She met Nora when she was about to get off work.
“Hello, Madam Hansen. Are you feeling unwell?”
After all, Nora was Byron’s mother. Cora would naturally care about her.
But Nora shook her head.
“Is Sir Hansen not feeling well?”
Osborn was discharged from the hospital several days ago. When Cora came to the Hansen Mansion, she helped him check all the information when he was discharged.
But there was a case for everything.
Nora shook her head again.
“Then…”
“I came on purpose to talk to you, Dr. Lane.”
Nora wore a plain linen dress, and her silver curly hair made her look elegant and intellectual.
She looked as elegant as when Cora had met her at the Hansen Mansion before, but her smile was no longer approachable.
Seeing Nora’s expression, Cora frowned slightly.
“I still have work to do.”
Her intuition told her that Nora came in an inimical way, and she didn’t want to talk to her.
But Nora said,
“It’s okay. I can wait for you to get off work.”
Cora could only promise to talk to her after getting off work. But it was like a sword hanging around her neck. That feeling made her feel uneasy for the rest of the time.
When it was time to get off work, Nora’s driver had already waited for Cora at the office door.
Cora changed into her daily clothes and got into Nora’s car.
Nora was sitting upright in the seat.
Her waist was so straight that even Cora, a young person, couldn’t help exclaiming secretly.
“Madam Hansen, if you have anything to say, just get to the point.”
Cora couldn’t stand the dull and oppressive feeling of sitting upright without speaking in this small space, so she broke the dead silence.
Nora turned her head and looked straight at Cora with slightly cloudy eyes.
“Excuse me for being blunt.
Dr. Lane, you don’t deserve Byron.”
Cora was stunned for a while.
She realized that the Hansen elders were dissatisfied with her.
But Byron kept reassuring her that his parents were not good at expressing their feelings. And they treated the other daughters-in-law with the same attitude. So Cora didn’t think about it anymore.
However, Nora spoke frankly about her dissatisfaction.
“Do you mean about the mismatch in the family background or personal ability?”
After calming down,
Cora asked frankly.
Instead of being upset and hesitant, facing and solving the problem was better.
“Both. Byron will dominate the business world in the future. Neither you nor your family can help him in this area.”
Nora’s tone was flat. She looked at the cars passing by from time to time outside.
“What about Dr. Yoris? Her family can help Byron but may not help him in a crisis.”
Cora wanted to deal with the problem calmly but couldn’t help feeling sad for herself.
Nora disliked Cora’s declining family background and thought her profession could not help Byron. But when Osborn was dying, and Byron lost his right to manage the company, Cora was the only one who stayed by Byron to help him!
“What you want to say is that Byron’s management right was taken away by his brother this time, and the Yoris family’s indifference to him, right? I admit that the Yoris family is wrong to do so, but they did it to teach Byron a lesson. After all, it was Byron’s fault. He let them down first…”
Even if no one told the Hansen elders of what had happened during this period, this matter was popular in New York. They still knew something about it.
“In a word, you still prefer Dr. Yoris to be your daughter-in-law.”
The disappointment in Cora’s eyes was evident.
“Well. Master Tobias is a famous augur. He said that the fates of Byron and Jane complement each other. They are a perfect couple. As long as Jane is always by Byron’s side, Byron can turn ill luck into good and have good fortune in the future.”
Master Tobias was the most famous augur in New York. Many wealthy families would ask him for divination. Cora had heard of this before.
But she didn’t expect that Nora hoped to promote Byron’s marriage with Jane, which was based on this.
“Madam Hansen, you are highly educated. Why did you believe in prediction?”
Cora studied medicine and paid attention to scientific arguments in everything, so she did not accept such reasons.
“It is better to be sure of some things than to doubt them.”
The key was that Jane had saved Byron’s life once when she was in Sara’s abdomen.
At that time, Sara was preparing to go to Burgess with a big abdomen to give birth, but when she boarded the plane, her amniotic fluid had just broken.
Byron was also preparing to go to Burgess to participate in summer camp. It happened that Sara was about to give birth. The others feared delaying the trip, and no one helped Sara.
But Byron asked the maid and driver who accompanied him to drive Sara to a nearby hospital.
This decision made him avoid the air crash.
The plane bound for Burgess crashed due to strong convection. All the passengers on board died in the air crash.
When the Hansen family heard the news of the air crash, almost everyone went crazy, especially Nora.
Byron was her precious youngest son. At that time, she thought she would never see him again. She even wanted to commit suicide and follow her son out of this world.
Until Nora learned that Byron didn’t get on the plane because of saving Sara, she felt that Sara’s daughter was an angel to save Byron.
That was why she went to Master Tobias and got the prediction. Then, she was more determined to let
Jane be her daughter-in-law.
But Cora didn’t know this. She asked Nora coldly,
“Since you think I’m not good enough for your son, why didn’t you say it in front of him?”
“Because I want to give you a chance,”
Nora said.
After all, when Osborn was dying, Cora saved him. If Nora didn’t even give her a chance, it would bring the Hansen family into discredit.
