“Yeah, Cora. Just come with us! You can relax yourself.”
Matt and Sally continued to encourage her, and even Flora chimed in,
“Go and have fun. Look at you, spending all your time either working or staying here with me. You’re starting to turn blue.”
Cora was taken aback. She hadn’t expected to hear such caring words from Flora.
Since the incident of her attempted suicide, Flora had been indifferent towards her. Cora thought that such indifference would remain for the rest of their lives.
But today, she unexpectedly heard these words from Flora, and she felt quite touched.
In the end, Cora reluctantly agreed, giving in to their requests, and decided to join Tyler and the others for a weekend getaway to Breezy Tides Island.
The weekend came in the blink of an eye.
Unlike their previous trip on the Princess, Tyler planned a self-driving route this time, driving directly over the newly opened Breezy Tides Bridge.
This significantly shortened the journey, taking only four hours to reach Breezy Tides Island.
Sally kept herself occupied along the way, occasionally sharing snacks with Cora and asking for her opinion on the handbag she had bought during a late-night sale on Amazon.
However, it seemed luck was not on her side as she handed her phone to Cora. Just as she did, a news article about Byron popped up.
[Lovely Journey: Marriage on the Way!] In addition to the headline, the article included a snapshot of
Byron and Jane.
In the photo, Byron walked ahead, speaking on the phone, while Jane followed closely behind. The butler of the Yoris family was by their side, holding a pink suitcase and a dark gray one.
Cora recognized the dark gray suitcase.
It was the one Byron always used for business trips, or rather, the only style he ever used.
His preferences had a somewhat pathological obsession, whether it was clothing or everyday items. He stuck to the same style and rarely made changes.
Cora could almost confirm that the suitcase carried by the Yoris family staff member belonged to him, and that he was indeed traveling with Jane.
At that moment, Cora felt like someone had twisted her heart into a knot, causing immense sorrow.
Cora despised herself for still holding on to her past relationship, knowing that it was not deep affection but rather a foolish attachment. Yet she couldn’t help but feel distressed by the news of his rumored relationship.
Sally, who was waiting for Cora’s feedback on the handbag, grew concerned when Cora remained silent. She asked,
“What’s wrong? Do you think it doesn’t look good? I thought it was pretty nice. Or would you like to see another one?”
As Sally reached over to switch to the link of another bag, she caught a glimpse of the news article that had popped up on Cora’s phone…
Sally condemned herself constantly. How could she forget to unsubscribe this bastard’s news? And now, Cora was sad because she saw gossip about Byron. Sally couldn’t believe how stupid she was.
How could she make such a mistake?
After blaming herself, Sally spoke up,
“I’ll only pay attention to the news that worths my attention and forget about those stupid ones. Let’s focus on the bags, shall we? It’s much more entertaining.”
While speaking, Sally opened the link of another bag, preventing Cora from staring at Byron’s news.
Matt sat in the passenger seat, unaware of what Cora had seen. He thought she was worried about
Flora and reassured her,
“Cora, I’ve asked someone to take care of Mrs. Flora Lane at the hospital.
You don’t need to worry.”
Tyler chimed in,
“If you’re still concerned, I can have my butler go and look after her.”
“It’s not that. I am just feeling a bit tired,”
Cora replied. They were constantly busy at the hospital, and it was rare for them to have an outing. Thus, Cora didn’t want to ruin their good mood.
“Take a rest if you’re tired. We’ll arrive at our destination after this turn,”
Tyler said, glancing at Cora through the rearview mirror.
Cora smiled softly in response through the mirror and nodded.
“Okay.”
Soon, they arrived at Breezy Tides Island.
However, instead of heading to the Yoris family’s resort, they went directly to a private beach.
There were two villas nearby, and Tyler led them to one of them.
“This is our family’s villa. There are several rooms above, all of which have been cleaned. You can go upstairs and look around, then pick a room for your stay.”
Sally led Cora to check the rooms while looking at another villa next door.
“Is that villa yours too?”
“No.”
Tyler was standing nearby. But as soon as Sally asked this question, Cora could sense his uneasiness as he turned to look at her abruptly.
Cora wondered if the villa next door had something to do with her.
At this moment, they heard the engine roaring outside, which attracted their attention.
Then, they saw an off-road vehicle parked steadily in front of another villa.
When the familiar figure came into Cora’s sight, she suddenly understood the meaning of Tyler’s fluster gaze just now…
The man who got off the SUV was Byron.
But he didn’t wear a rigid suit, but black shirt and slacks.
Because of his tall and straight figure, when he got off the car, he looked like a handsome man walking on a runway.
“He is…”
The moment Matt saw Byron, he was very surprised and almost blurted out some words unconsciously.
Before he could finish his sentence, Sally pinched his arm.
Matt shut up immediately.
Tyler noticed the actions of the two and said,
“Well, that villa belongs to his family, and this private beach is shared by our two families, but I didn’t expect that we would bump into each other today.”
At this time, a woman got off the car from the other side.
The moment they saw her outfit, both Sally and Tyler had weird expressions.
They seemed to see Cora.
The pink slim dress on her was very similar to the mint green slim dress on Cora.
Besides, the end of that woman’s hair was also permed, and she looked enchanting from the back.
If Cora was not by their side, Sally and Tyler would have thought that woman was Cora.
The woman got out of the car. When she fiddled with the hair in front of her and revealed her innocent face, not only Cora but Sally and Tyler were stunned.
“Dr. Yoris?”
They didn’t expect that the woman next to Byron, who was dressed exactly like Cora, was actually
Jane, who usually looked pure and innocent.
“Well…”
Sally said.
She looked at Jane and then at Cora. Something seemed to flash in her mind quickly.
Cora frowned.
She had seen Jane’s outfit in the news just now, but the photo was different. Now seeing Jane, Cora thought Jane’s dress really looked like hers.
So what?
Maybe it was Byron who asked Jane to do this.
Even if Byron really missed her and asked Jane to dress like this, so what?
Flora still wouldn’t agree with them being together, and she would even threaten them with death.
Cora didn’t dare to continue thinking about it. She would only feel sad, but she couldn’t change the result.
“Let’s go have a barbecue. I’m so hungry!”
Cora said.
She forced herself to look away and then dragged Sally to get their food.
“Okay, you ate the snacks all the way, but I was driving, and my stomach rumbled several times,”
Tyler said.
He came back to his senses and quickly looked away, following Cora and Sally to the kitchen.
Only Matt continued to stare at Byron, who started smoking after getting off the car, wondering where he had seen Byron before.
Byron was smoking, but he suddenly noticed something. He glanced at the window on the second floor of another villa and met Matt’s eyes.
Byron had been in a high position for a long time, and his aura was very strong.
After staring at him for a while, Matt quickly went to the kitchen to help.
Byron was lost in thought as he looked at the window.
Wasn’t that Flora’s attending doctor?
Byron met Matt several times in Flora’s ward before.
Why would Matt be in the Cooper Villa?
