Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
Was Martin’s late speech development due to inheriting it from Byron?
But she didn’t want to seek confirmation from him.
“Yes, so just relax. He will start speaking soon.”
Johnson’s encouragement filled Cora with hope.
As they were about to leave, Cora invited Johnson to have a meal together.
However, Johnson declined, saying,
“I have something to attend to.”
“Thank you so much, Dr. Watts.”
Cora thanked him once again before leaving with Martin.
Once Cora and Martin had left the office, the hidden door behind the mirror opened.
Byron stepped out.
“How did my critical hit go?”
Johnson handed him a cigarette. However, Byron crumpled it without lighting it up, lost in thought.
Seeing this, Johnson raised an eyebrow.
“It seems quite effective. You don’t even want to smoke.”
Then, he asked Byron while lighting up a cigarette for himself,
“At what age did you start speaking?”
“Five years old,”
Byron replied, feeling agitated as he wanted to catch up with Cora but was unsure of what to say to her once he did.
“Tsk! I knew it was genetic!”
Johnson continued,
“That boy has a high IQ, as excellent as you.”
Byron’s gaze fell on the sketchbook that Martin had left on the desk.
“How do you know his IQ is high?”
He asked as he flipped through the pages.
But soon, he realized that his question was unnecessary.
He found something intriguing in the sketchbook.
“This is…”
“Yes, it’s Morse code! The kid is only three, and he already knows Morse code so well. I bet my entire fortune that he’ll surpass you in the future!”
Johnson’s jealousy was evident as he exclaimed,
“Did you save the world in your past life? Not only are you ridiculously wealthy, but now you’ve also got a woman and an exceptionally outstanding child!”
However, Byron paid no attention to Johnson’s admiration.
All he thought was he had to catch up with Cora and Martin before they got too far away.
Hurriedly leaving Johnson’s office, Byron saw that Cora and Martin had already gotten into a taxi.
He wanted to intercept them directly, but he saw Martin looking back at him through the rear window with distant and cold eyes.
Seeing a man who resembled him so much, Martin showed no signs of surprise.
He didn’t even feel puzzled about the man’s sudden appearance!
The only explanation was that this little guy had known all along that he was his father but strongly rejected him.
Moreover, it seemed he had already sensed Byron’s presence behind the mirror just now!
Byron became increasingly certain of his deductions as he recalled Martin’s previous attempt to shatter the mirror and the Morse code message he left in the sketchbook: [You know my dad!]
But no matter how much Martin rejected him, the fact that he was Martin’s father couldn’t be changed.
More importantly, he loved Cora deeply.Even if Cora had decided to let go of everything, he couldn’t let her leave again.
He was determined to bind his wife and child back to himself, no matter the cost.
However, by the time he had organized his thoughts, the taxi had already left.
Byron had to get into his own car immediately and chase after them.
As Byron caught up with Cora and Martin, the taxi had already stopped in front of a fast??ood restaurant.
He frowned, considering getting out of the car to tell them that eating such things was unhealthy. If they wanted, he could open a restaurant just for them, where everything would be fresh and healthy.
But before he could step out, he saw Jerry getting out of another car.
Immediately, Martin broke free from Cora and excitedly pounced on Jerry’s legs.
Jerry, looking completely accustomed to Martin’s affectionate gesture, naturally lifted the boy and placed him on his shoulders.
He then smiled at Cora, and the three of them happily entered the fast??ood restaurant together.
To anyone else, it would appear like a happy family scene.
But only Byron knew how heart??renching it was for him.If he hadn’t hurt Cora that day, he should have been the one carrying Martin, and he should have been the one laughing and chatting with Cora.
But now…
Byron still hesitated and didn’t know if he should go up to them at this moment. Would he ruin Cora’s mood if he suddenly appeared?
It had been a long time since he had seen such a bright smile on Cora’s face.
Inside the fast??ood restaurant.
“Martin doesn’t have any psychological issues? Then why isn’t he speaking?”
After ordering, Jerry hurriedly asked Cora.
When contacting Jerry to meet up here, Cora had only mentioned that Martin had no psychological issues but hadn’t elaborated further.
“He may be influenced by genetic factors,”
Cora said, looking into the distance.
Jerry immediately understood that the genetic factors she mentioned might not refer to herself.
Then he naturally skipped over the topic and said,
“That’s good as long as it’s not a psychological problem. Let’s patiently wait for Martin to start speaking!”
Jerry then took the hamburgers, opened one for Martin, and fed him.
Martin enjoyed the attention, smiling widely.
Then, they raised their Coke cups for a toast in celebration.
While they were joyously celebrating inside the restaurant, Byron received a phone call outside…
It was Carter.
He said,
“Mr. Hansen, are you attending the meeting this afternoon? If not, I’ll reschedule it.”
Without hesitation, Byron replied,
“Reschedule it.”
Right now, nothing was more important than watching over his wife and child.
But just as he was about to hang up, Carter suddenly asked,
“There’s something about Miss Lane. Are you interested in hearing about it?”
In the past, Carter would have directly reported anything related to Cora.
But lately, Byron’s unpredictable mood made him uncertain if he should bring up certain topics.
So, he left the decision to Byron.
Carter had expected Byron to respond in his usual way, perhaps expressing annoyance at his interference before getting to the main point.
However, Byron cut to the chase this time, asking,
“What is it?”
With permission, Carter continued,
“The Yoris family released a segment of hospital surveillance video showing Miss Lane smashing an abandoned infusion bottle and threatening Mrs. Sara Yoris!”
“Threatening? She wouldn’t do such a thing. It must be someone provoking her again,”
Byron said firmly, leaving Carter wondering what had happened on Earth.
Despite his confusion, Carter continued his report,
“The surveillance video is noisy, and they were far from the camera, making it difficult to hear what they were talking about. However, the Yoris family claims that Miss Lane did it out of jealousy to snatch the glory of the first person to cure cancer from Miss Yoris.”
Carter added,
“The Yoris family has called the police, and there’s a lot of online buzz, with people attacking Miss Lane, demanding that she pay the price for her reckless behavior.”
Byron felt a headache coming on.
He was certain that Cora couldn’t have done such a thing, and it must be the Yoris family causing trouble again.
Indeed, ever since the news of Jane’s divorce from Harry broke yesterday, the Yoris Group’s stocks had plummeted.
Moreover, it was rumored that these two families were cutting business ties.
The Cross family had supported the Yoris Group’s development in the past few years.

Their night of passion shocks even him, especially when he discovers she’s still a virgin after two years of marriage to Joshua Yates.
Cora always find any other man as soon as Byron away. In this point at this novel when Cora willingly want to sex with Jerry and even they both kiss deeply later, I feel deeply disappointed to Author of this novel. In starting this novel is so good but for the sake of dragging Author completely ruin it and waste my effort to reads all these long dragging chapters to find single solace in Cora love for Byron .
I feel that Cora never love any man in this whole novel .she just want to fulfill her sexual desire that’s why whenever she free from Byron, she invited another man.
I am so upset. These kind of novels are nothing but a great torture and headache.
