Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
And there was him, always guarding her by her side.
It was just like their lives. Different people came and left the train at every time period, but only the person behind her stayed.
Her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts until she was interrupted by the man’s cold voice.
“Remember to look at the station name. Don’t miss your stop.”
Cora returned to her senses and grumbled,
“I want to go to the final station.”
“The final station? That’s in the suburbs! Are you not going home to take care of Martin?”
The sun was almost setting.
Byron didn’t want her to wander around in the darkness of the night.
But Cora felt he only cared about the child and not about her, so she replied coldly,
“You don’t need to worry about my son.”
“He’s my son too!”
Byron gritted his teeth, then pointed out,
“You have a son now, so are you forgetting your son’s father?”
She had taken their child back to New York, yet she didn’t take him to visit his father.
The more Byron thought about it, the more he felt that heseemed to not have much importance in their family!
Cora said,
“His father is already with another woman! Why do we need him?”
She didn’t even look at him, and the disgust in her tone couldn’t be concealed.
“Who did you say I’m together with?”
Byron was also irritated, and when he heard her slandering him, he became even more furious.
Even the long arms around her waist seemed to be holding her tighter.
“Elena? Are you talking about her?”
“So you’re aware of it!”
When Cora heard him mention Elena’s name all of a sudden, she felt even more uncomfortable.She even wanted to break his hands off her body.
However, the man didn’t let go and even exerted more strength, as if he wanted to glue her into his body.
“She returned because her younger brother had a heart problem and had to undergo surgery.”
He explained in exasperation, but Cora didn’t seem to believe him.
“Coming back to take care of her brother and even making a special trip to accompany you to a club? Miss Turner is really competent.”
Byron almost laughed out of anger.
“When I sent her abroad before, I told her not to return for the rest of her life so as not to make you feel sick. That was why she asked my permission on WhatsApp before she returned last time.”
When Byron spoke of this, he looked down at Cora and saw her cheeks were still puffing out.
Suddenly, a playful impulse surged in him, and he pinched her waist, causing her to raise her head and glare at him.
Although she was glaring, her eyes were glistening, yet she didn’t seem like complaining. It looked more like she was in a dilemma between rejecting and accepting him.
Moreover, he hadn’t been with her for several days, and now seeing her like this, his Adam’s apple couldn’t help bobbing a few times.
“Don’t look at me like that! I didn’t even reply to her message, so she went to find me as soon as she returned and asked meif I minded.”
He had basically explained everything, but the woman before him asked him back,
“Why couldn’t I come to see you?! Are you afraid of being found out?”
He simply clung to her ear and said something.
This time, Cora said nothing, yet her face turned beet red.
In the blink of an eye, the train arrived at the final station.
When Cora was about to get off the train, Byron proactively held her hand and protected her while getting off the train.
Feeling the domineering yet gentle care of the man, Cora inevitably remembered what he said just now, and her face was burning again.
Fortunately, the wind at the end of autumn was cold enough, so the hot sensation on her cheeks subsided when she stepped out of the station.
After exiting the station, Cora walked toward a place.
Byron hurriedly followed.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to find the eyes of the sand.”
“The eyes of the sand? For Carter’s aunt’s medicine?”
“Yes. Her eye problem is quite serious, and the eyes of the sand that can be bought in ordinary pharmacies will definitely not be effective, so I have to find some fresh ones to refine once I return.”
“Then where can you find the eyes of the sand?”
The sky was already dark.
But Cora walked toward the mountain instead.
Byron couldn’t imagine what it would have been like for this woman to walk into the mountains in the dark alone if he hadn’t followed her just now.
“In the cave?”
Byron was dubious, yet he followed Cora into the cave.
This woman truly came prepared. She even brought a flashlight.
It was pitch black in the cave, and the cold wind was blowing.
It even made Byron’s skin crawl, although he was an adult man.
But Cora didn’t seem to feel the slightest bit of fear. As soon as she entered the cave, she methodically directed the flashlight at the cave ceilings.
Stimulated by the light, several bats abruptly flew in a circular motion at the cave ceilings at a high speed.
Byron was worried that Cora would be attacked by the bats, so he immediately took off his suit jacket and put it on Cora’s head.”It’s all right. I’ve found the eyes of the sand.”
Cora wanted to return the suit jacket to Byron, but the man insisted on letting her wear it.
In the end, Cora had no choice but to squat down with his coat on and used the prepared utensils to pick the eyes of the sand from the ground before putting them inside a bag.
When Byron looked at Cora with her gloves on carrying a bag of eyes of the sand, his expression was beyond words.
“Are you sure these can really be used on the eyes? Won’t the smell be nasty?”
“This thing has high medicinal value, you know. What’s nasty about it?”
Once the two finished picking the eyes of the sand, they took a taxi back to the city.
Cora was looking at the passing scenery when she suddenly said,
“When I went to the birthday banquet with Jerry that day, I was the one who wanted to break up, then he made a few requests.”
In Cora’s eyes, things like love actually came and went.If one treated someone well, that person would also do the same.
Byron had explained the matter about Elena just now, so she would also explain to him the things he was concerned about.
“Including what I said later about not being able to leave Leucrest Town for some time, it was also because he wanted me to accompany him when he went to remove his decayed tooth.”
Byron turned to look at Cora in surprise when he heard her words.
However, Cora was still looking outside the car window, and her gaze was slightly empty.
It seemed as if she was looking at someone she really cared about through the scenery outside the car window.
“We had even promised that the three of us would go to eat hamburgers together after he removed his tooth. But Jerry left for abroad that day.”
There was a stinging sensation in Byron’s heart, but he still held out his hand to clutch Cora’s hand.
Cora also turned around, and her eyes were red.
“I’m grateful to Jerry for the last four years. For countless times when I couldn’t do any other things because of Martin, he helped me take care of him. To me and Martin, he was not just a friend, but more like a family.”Because of her gratitude and that Jerry was an irreplaceable person, Cora was even more unwilling to argue with Byron because of Jerry.
Probably because Byron had understood how Cora felt, he pulled her into his arms.
“I understand…”
Even though he was very grateful for what Jerry had done for this pair of mother and son in the past four years, when he thought that a certain corner of Cora’s heart would always belong to Jerry, he could still go crazy with jealousy.
So while kissing her side face, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would never let Cora and their son leave his side in the future, and would not let them have the slightest chance to be indebted to the kindness of others again.
By the time Byron took Cora back to the Yoris Mansion, it was already ten in the evening.
“You bring Martin out. We’ll go back to the apartment.”
From the time he was on the train, Cora was always in his mind.
Now that she was almost within reach, he certainly didn’t want to let go of this opportunity.
T But he didn’t expect Cora to refuse him.
“It’s too late. Martin and I will sleep here tonight.”
Byron was stunned.
“Then what about me?”
“You’re not a three??ear??ld, and you don’t need me to put you to sleep! You can do whatever you want.”
After Cora said that, she got out of the car and was back to her cold??looded self, then she strode directly into the Yoris Mansion.
Byron simply got out of the car and followed.
At the same time, Arnold, William, and the others were watching Martin play building blocks in the living room, while Sara coaxed Martin with his toothbrush in her hand.
