Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“It’s delicious. Byron, I didn’t expect you also like steak with added sugar…”
Byron smiled but didn’t speak.
Harry looked back and forth between the two of them.
As Byron’s good friend, he knew well that Byron didn’t have the habit of adding sugar to steak!
So, Byron didn’t intend to break up with Cora but fell into the whirlpool of this love!
After lunch, Cora declined Byron to drive her back. She hailed a taxi and left.
Looking at her enchanting figure, Harry took out a cigarette case and handed one cigarette to Byron.
“Byron, let’s go to Perpetual Daylight to relax at night. Jane will come over tonight.”
After Jane and Byron got into a little quarrel because Harry didn’t say hello to her last time, Harry always felt guilty about it and wanted to make up for Jane, so he made the party tonight.
“I have something to do at night.”
Byron took the cigarette and lit it, then walked towards his car.
There were still a lot of problems left over from the problematic project of the Hansen Group last time.
He had to rush back to deal with them.
Harry threw his car keys to his girlfriend and let her drive back by herself. Then, he sat in Byron’s passenger seat.
“What’s the matter? Do you still want to have a date with Cora after dusk?”
Byron rolled down the car window to let the fresh air in and blow away the smoke.
“It’s not your business.”
Byron held the steering wheel with one hand and looked at the road ahead.
Harry still heard the impatient in his voice.
“Yeah. It’s none of my business. But so many people in the Hansen family are staring at you. They expect you to get down from that position.”
Byron was Osborn’s youngest son. In the eyes of his elder brothers, he was able to inherit the Hansen
Group because of Osborn’s preference. On the surface, they were all amiable. But in their hearts, they were planning how to replace Byron and take over his position in the Hansen Group.
So, the wife Byron needed was someone like Jane, who could help him in his business. Cora was a burden to him.
Harry had always believed that Byron chose Cora because Jane was abroad. Byron had no choice but to find Cora as a substitute.
But today, after witnessing Byron eat the steak with added sugar, Harry was not sure who the substitute was, so he had to remind Byron in advance.
But Byron didn’t respond to him. He kept smoking.
The two were silent all the way until the car arrived at Harry’s Internet celebrity company. Harry stubbed out the cigarette butt and said,
“It’s fine to let Cora be your mistress, but she is not suitable to be your wife. Byron, think about it carefully.”
Byron didn’t respond. He stepped on the accelerator and left.
But at night, he went to the party.
“Byron, you are here. Jane, make room for him.”
In Harry’s eyes, Byron changed his mind and appeared at the party with Jane here, meaning he listened to his words.
Jane sat aside and greeted Byron with a smile after he sat down,
“Byron.”
Byron slightly nodded to her and began to drink and talk with others about the business partners.
In short, the atmosphere at this party was quite harmonious.
Cora received a message from Byron: [I won’t be at your home tonight.]
Cora called Sally and asked her to come to her LO apartment. She ordered two large portions of fried chicken takeaways.
Sally came with two dozen beers.
When Cora opened the door and let her enter the house, Sally kept looking around.
“Is Mr. Pope here? Does he think I’ve affected his activity tonight?”
The word
“activity”
referred to something else.
Cora flushed instantly.
“Don’t talk nonsense. He won’t be here tonight.”
Of course, she referred to Byron.
“You have some snacks first, and I’ll reheat the fried chicken.”
Sally left the hospital late tonight. The fried chicken was cold.
When Cora put the fried chicken into the microwave, Sally exclaimed in her bedroom.
“Wow, Mr. Pope looks quite frugal, but his shirts and trousers are slap-up.”
Actually, Sally just wanted to see if there were enough clothes for Cora’s recent change. If not, she would take her to the mall and buy some clothes on the rest day. But she didn’t expect to see Carter’s clothes in the closet.
They were all private custom luxury brands, and each shirt cost at least thousands of dollars.
The dozens of shirts and trousers in the closet were like a pile of glittering gold.
But she remembered that when she caught a glimpse of Carter, the brand of his suit was not this.
“Don’t look. The fried chicken is ready.”
Cora was worried that Sally would see the clue, so she hurried into the bedroom and led her out.
Sally didn’t overthink. She just thought it was a man’s vanity at work.
“I’m so happy today. It’s great to be able to solve it perfectly.”
After drinking a few cups of beer, Sally asked again,
“Cora, it was Carter who helped you, right?”
“Um.”
Cora didn’t want to tell Sally about Mia’s fake pregnancy. Sally was talkative, and she might leak it at any time.
Of course, she didn’t keep it secret for Mia’s sake or Eason’s. She just wanted to keep the evidence.
Then, Jane dared not to embarrass her and Sally in their internship.
They chatted, and the subject somehow came to Eason and Cora’s past.
“In my eyes, Carter is many times better than Eason. I don’t understand why you fell in love with him in the past. He is not as handsome as Carter. Even he is not as good as Mr. Hansen’s a ten-thousandth of it.”
Cora took a sip of beer.
“I liked Eason not because of his appearance.”
“He is a mama’s boy. Could it be that he can satisfy your character of being a young mother?”
“Of course not. Eason saved me. He is brave, kind, and responsible.”
Cora didn’t know if it was because the Patton family ended her engagement with Eason or the fading of the good memories. She felt Eason was not close to the man who had bravely saved her.
“How could that coward save you? Are you kidding? I may believe it if you say you save him.”
Sally always felt that Eason was the one who would hide in his mother’s arms and cry at a critical moment.
That scene was so disgusting. Sally quickly took a few mouthfuls of cold beer to wash away the nausea brought by the scene.
But Cora emphasized.
“I mean it. That year, I met a lunatic hacking people on the street. Eason blocked the knife for me. He saved me. There is a scar on his shoulder.”
But she was young that year. She was splashed with blood on her face. At that time, she was frightened and didn’t remember that man’s appearance and name.
After she calmed down, she ran to the hospital to find the man. She searched the hospital’s list of patients. Eason was the only person who matched the information of the person who had saved her.
Many boys pursued her in school. But she only took the initiative to talk to Eason.
“I always think it is not something Eason would do.”
“Anyway, it doesn’t matter. It’s all in the past.”
Maybe Cora was still sad. She drank a whole bottle of beer.
Seeing this, Sally quickly changed the subject.
“Don’t talk about Eason. It’s time to discuss when you will profess your love to Carter.”
“Profess my love to Carter?”
Cora threw away the wine bottle. Her head was not dizzy, but she couldn’t understand Sally’s words.
Sally knocked her on the forehead.
“You are stupid. Carter can help you a few times. He must not be as simple as just wanting to maintain that relationship with you.”
“Are you sure?”
Cora suddenly recalled that Byron had worked from home yesterday and took time to touch her forehead to check her condition. The expectation that she tried to hide in her heart seemed infinitely magnified at this moment.
“Of course! He got you and still helped you in this matter. If he doesn’t want your love, why did he help you?”
Sally continued,
“Instead of passively waiting, it’s better to take the initiative to take action. Get Carter’s heart and make you be his only love…”
Later, both Cora and Sally were drunk.
Cora didn’t remember what else she said.
