Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
But Elena wasn’t willing to give up.
It took her four years to get to where she was with Byron now.
She was on the verge of replacing Cora and standing by his side.
Should she just give up?
No!
No way!
She was determined to ensure Cora and Byron could never return to the way they were before!
Thinking of something, Elena watched Byron’s receding figure with a weird smile.
On the other side, after leaving Byron’s villa, Cora walked alone on the familiar yet unfamiliar streets.
She tried to convince herself that it was nothing. Byron was merely trying to provoke her, and he had nothing real with Elena.
However, tears of disappointment fell despite her efforts.
But just then, Jerry’s video call came through.
Recently, Jerry had been frequently contacting her about
Martin’s situation.
Could it be that something happened to Martin?
Forgetting her sadness, Cora quickly wiped away her tears and answered the video call.
The moment the video call was connected, Jerry’s handsome face appeared on the screen.
“Good morning, beauty.”
He was joky even in the early morning.
“Jerry, what’s the matter? Is it Martin…”
Cora was worried.
She felt the background behind Jerry was somehow familiar.
“Martin is here.”
Jerry first gave Cora a close-up view of Martin, who was smiling happily.
That bright smile instantly melted Cora’s heart.
The gloom just now seemed to have been swept away in an instant.
But as she cheered up, Cora suddenly realized why the background looked so familiar.
“Are you in New York?”
Cora asked because she saw the landmark building in New York Station flash by behind Jerry just now.
“Correct! A loving hug award for the toothache patient.”
Jerry opened his arms jokingly.
“Why did you come here? Are you nearing the station now?”
Cora was both surprised and angry about the arrival of Jerry and Martin.
“Martin couldn’t sleep last night because he wanted to hear you tell the story about his father saving the universe. And I could only promise to take him here early in the morning to listen to your story. He finally went to sleep after that.”
Jerry shrugged helplessly and said,
“And yes, we are at the station. But didn’t you say that your brother can’t know about Martin’s existence? So we will stay at a hotel, and you can come when you are free.”
This was also Cora’s plan.
It was true that she couldn’t take Martin to the apartment with her.
She and Byron had lived in the apartment for quite some time during the past four years, and many people knew them.
Martin resembled Byron a lot, and people would easily make the connection if they saw Martin.
On one hand, Cora didn’t want Gabe to find out about Martin.
On the other hand, she was even more worried that Byron would blackmail her with Martin if he should know about Martin’s existence because he resented her now.
“Then find a hotel nearby and send me the location. I’ll go find you later.”
After the video call, Cora left everything off and hurried back to the apartment. After taking a shower, she changed her clothes and rushed out.
At the same time, Jerry led Martin to the exit of the station.
It got more and more crowded as they walked out.
Martin was short, so he could only see the legs of the adults when he looked up.
He held Jerry’s hand, but the chaotic crowd separated them.
Martin looked around nervously but couldn’t find Jerry.
Just when he was about to cry, a male voice sounded behind him.
“Hey, kid. Why are you alone?”
When Martin turned around, he saw a young and handsome face.
Although Martin couldn’t speak, he remembered what Lucy and Cora had taught him about safety. He should never go with strangers.
But the stranger said again,
“Hey! Why do you look so familiar!
“Byron! Yes! Why do you look like Byron?”
After thinking about it, Harry suddenly realized why he was so shocked when he saw Martin.
It was because this kid’s face looked almost the same as Byron’s.
“Are you Byron’s child?”
Even though Martin clearly rejected him, Harry wouldn’t leave Martin alone.
Recently, Harry had often been attracted to cute kids on the street. Maybe it was because he was getting older, or maybe because he still didn’t have a child with Jane after being married for so long.
His peers became fathers one after another, and it made him envious.
That was why he saw Martin alone in the crowd at a glance just now.
After finding Martin resembled Byron so much, he had more reason not to leave him alone.
Harry’s assistant reminded him several times,
“Mr. Cross, we will be late for the meeting.”
Harry ignored him.
“It’s okay. It’s just a meeting.”
The assistant was anxious and rolled his eye secretly.
Harry took the train back for this meeting because there was no early flight.
Not only that, he even compromised for an economy class seat because he couldn’t get a business class!
But Harry ignored him, so he could only wait.
“Kid, where are your parents?”
“Or, tell me your father’s name, and I’ll take you to him, okay?”
Harry tried his best to smile kindly and look nice.
But even so, Martin still didn’t speak.
On top of ignoring Harry, Martin took a few steps back.
“Kid, I’m not a bad person. I just want to help you. You see, I’m quite rich, so I don’t need to make money by kidnapping you.”
Harry walked up and tried to talk with Martin, but Martin bit his thigh hard.
“Ouch!”
Harry cried out in pain. His assistant came up to help him push Martin away when a slender figure rushed over.
“Martin!”
When Martin heard Jerry’s voice, he quickly let go of Harry and ran over.
Then Martin hid behind Jerry’s long legs and peeped at Harry.
“What’s the matter with you, kid? I just wanted to help you find your parents. Why did you bite me so hard?”
Harry was aggrieved and yelled at Martin. He felt as if the flesh on his thigh was almost bitten off.
Jerry looked Harry up and down. He could tell from Harry’s attire and aura that he was no ordinary person and wouldn’t attack kids.
So Jerry put on an apologetic smile and said,
“Sorry! I’m sorry. The kid can’t speak yet, and he is quite defensive.”
The apology made Harry feel better, and he was finally calm enough to take a good look at the man in front of him.
This man was good??ooking and seemed gentle and smart.
“Are you his father?”
Jerry didn’t want to cause more trouble, so he nodded.
“Sir, do you need to get your wound treated at the hospital? I will pay for all the treatment and inspection fees.”
“It’s just a bite. I’m not that fragile. I’m just surprised. This kid looks very much like a friend of mine, and I thought he was my friend’s son.”
Harry’s words made Jerry alert.
