But Byron didn’t respond at all. She sighed helplessly.
In the end, she had no choice but to compromise.
“Well, I’ll tell you about it after you wake up.”
Cora thought about getting Byron to sleep on the bed on the second floor, but he was too tall and heavy for her, so she couldn’t carry him.
In the end, she could only get a basin of water to wash him up a bit and brought him a pillow and comforter to make him sleep more comfortably.
As for herself…
That paternity certificate made her unable to sleep at all.
She leaned next to Byron, unconsciously thinking about all the bad things that Flora had done to her over the years, as well as how Sara, William, and Arnold crushed her all the time.
Finally, she thought of Gabe who was still in jail…
She tossed and turned all night, and finally, she fell asleep in a trance at dawn.
But at eight o’clock in the morning, Byron woke her up.
“Get up. Breakfast has already been delivered.”
“No. Let me sleep.”
She was on the night shift today, and she didn’t need to go to the hospital until eight o’clock in the evening. She wanted to sleep longer so that she could have a good talk with him with a clear mind.
She covered her head with a pillow, but the man took away her pillow.
“Get up. You can go back to sleep after the thing is done. Besides, you are pregnant now, so you have to regulate your internal clock. Get up quickly.”
The word
“pregnant”
made Cora sit up instantly.
Because of the guilty conscience, and also because of anxiety.
The guilt was because her pregnancy was fake, and the anxiety was because of Gabe.
“What is the thing you are talking about?”
Cora woke up and found that the man seemed a little abnormal today.
He usually wore black clothes, but today he was uncharacteristically wearing a white shirt.
The white color seemed to conceal all the evilness in him and also made him look a little more handsome than before.
“You’ll know later. Go wash up and change into this dress.”
Cora lowered her head, and what he gave her was a designer white skirt, which looked simple yet delicate.
The man seemed to see her doubts and said casually,
“You are pregnant now, so of course, the fabric of your clothes should be better.”
There seemed to be nothing wrong with this reason.
All he got was money. For his child, the material conditions would definitely be relatively better.
It was just that she felt a little hypocritical when she wore these now without actually being pregnant.
But in the end, she still put on that dress obediently. After all, she was afraid that Byron would notice something.
After breakfast, under Byron’s eyes, she put on the flat shoes he had prepared and then went out with him.
He drove the car himself and still said nothing about where they were going.
Along the way, Cora’s heart was uneasy for fear of being dragged by Byron to do an obstetric examination, which would reveal her secrets.
She was completely dumbfounded until the car stopped at the gate of the City Hall.
“Are you going to marry me?”
She just wanted to confirm the relationship with him first and then take the opportunity to ask him to get her brother out. How did she suddenly end up getting married to him?
“Well, I can’t let my child be illegitimate. Of course, we need to get married first.”
Byron replied seriously.
Cora still felt guilty.
If she was really pregnant, it would not be a big deal.
There was no baby in her belly, so it would be a little…
Perhaps because he could see that she didn’t really want to get married, his voice suddenly became cold.
“Why? Do you want to marry someone else after giving birth to my child?”
When Cora raised her head, she realized that not only was his voice cold, but his expression was also unbearably cold.
This appearance was very similar to that day at the elevator entrance.
Cora couldn’t help but think that he took the initiative to block all her contact information for the first time after they separated that day, making it impossible for her to contact him directly, and she felt a little depressed.
So, she explained,
“I have never thought about marrying someone else.”
Although she was not really pregnant now, she was ready to carry his baby.
Once she really gave birth to his child, she would definitely not marry anyone else.
She just felt that it was too soon to get married now.
Hearing her words, his attitude eased a lot.
“If you don’t want to marry someone else, then marry me.”
Seeing this, Cora decided to risk it all and brought up Gabe’s matter.
She asked,
“Can you help me get my brother out? My brother really didn’t do anything. It was the people from the Yoris family who set him up, and he was arrested. This matter is certainly not difficult for you. Can you help me?”
Byron paused and said,
“It’s really not a difficult matter to me.”
Hearing this, Cora felt that he was probably going to help her.
But in the next second, the man said again,
“But this can only be done after we get married.”
Cora frowned.
“But when we went out, you didn’t say we were going to get married, so I didn’t bring my
ID with me.”
He said,
“I brought everything for you.”
He knew exactly where she kept her things in her apartment.
So before she woke up this morning, he had prepared everything by himself.
Cora was stunned again.
She didn’t remember how she was dragged into the City Hall by the man or how she signed the documents in order to get the marriage certificate.
Until the two of them came out from the City Hall with two marriage certificates in their hands, Cora was still a little confused about whether this was a dream or reality.
She had fantasized about the process of marrying Byron. She might be emotional because of all the difficulties, or she might be so excited that tears would flow down her face.
But she had never thought that she would be confused during the whole process.
It was Byron’s voice that brought her back to reality.
“Give yours to me, and I will keep it.”
Before she took a closer look at the marriage certificate, it was taken away, and she even witnessed
Byron put it in the safe later.
After taking away her marriage certificate, he asked again,
“Where is Gabe now?”
Cora told him the location, and then he took out his phone to make a call.
Because they stood next to each other, even though Byron didn’t turn on the speakerphone, Cora roughly heard that the person on the phone respectfully promised that the matter would be settled immediately.
This call ended quickly.
Byron hung up the phone and said,
“It’s all done. Is there anything else?”
“I don’t think so.”
Although Cora knew that Gabe’s matter was just a piece of cake to Byron, she never thought that it could be settled with a phone call.
“Then can we go for a checkup next? I don’t have anything to do this morning.”
When Byron said this, he glanced at Cora’s belly.
Maybe it was because of this look. Cora felt that there seemed to be a suspicion of temptation in his words.
“No need. I just had an inspection.”
Cora was still quite flustered. After all, she had photoshopped the report.
Seeing that Byron was squinting his eyes and staring at her belly, Cora was agitated and quickly covered her belly.
“Taking B-ultrasound too often will have an impact on the fetus.”
