Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
As Byron passed by them, his gaze briefly swept across Cora’s face.
Remembering his indifference and avoidance earlier in the day, Cora imitated him by not making eye contact and treating him as a complete stranger.
“I definitely will. I’ll treat next time.”
Tyler watched Byron walk away and wanted to say something to Cora.
But Cora said first,
“Tyler, I need to use the restroom. You go back first.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the private room.”
Byron’s presence disrupted the atmosphere, and Tyler couldn’t find the same feeling as before. Certain words couldn’t be spoken anymore.
Cora nodded in response, turned around, and went into the bathroom.
But what she never expected was that when she came out of the bathroom, Tyler had left, but Byron was standing in front of the sink smoking a cigarette.
The smoke diffused around him, and with his slightly tilted head and tense jawline, he exuded a seductive aura.
Upon hearing the sound, his gaze fell unabashedly on Cora.
On this late autumn night, she was wearing a slim-fit blue dress with a white cardigan draped over it.
That enchanting appearance made him involuntarily think about whether she was as irresistible when lying beneath Tyler as she was when she was with him.
Cora felt a scorching sensation from his brazen gaze, which made her earlier tipsy feeling almost disappear.
She clenched the bag in her hand and was about to quickly walk past Byron, intending to continue to treat him as a stranger just like before.
However, Cora couldn’t have anticipated that just as she was about to pass by Byron, he suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her tightly into his embrace.
“Are you trying to seduce Tyler?”
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his whole demeanor became deep and cold.
Cora struggled for a moment, but she found that the more she resisted, the tighter Byron’s hold became until there was no space left between them.
She could clearly feel the temperature rising in Byron’s body, afraid that he would lose control completely. So, she changed her strategy.
“Mr. Hansen, you have sharp eyes.”
She stopped struggling and didn’t touch Byron with her hands.
Instead, she held onto her handbag and smiled seductively at him.
“Did you succeed?”
Byron had obvious sarcasm in his tone.
“Mr. Hansen, if you hadn’t interrupted just now, I probably would have succeeded.”
Cora was still smiling at him, and her slightly drunk eyes were full of charm.
“After succeeding, are you planning to marry into the Cooper family? Their threshold is even higher than the Hansen family’s.”
Byron’s tone was as icy as freezing cold.
But Cora’s tone was even colder than his.
“If the threshold is high, so be it. I didn’t be with him aiming to get married anyway.”
Without Byron reminding her, Cora knew that although the Cooper family wasn’t one of the top four prominent families in New York, they were an influential and well-connected family. Every wealthy family had to establish good relations with them and try to form an alliance.
She had never thought of marrying the social ladder of the Cooper family. It was just Byron’s harsh words and stern demeanor that ignited her rebellious spirit. It wasn’t her fault that her background suddenly became humble!
Seemingly angered by her, Byron tightened his embrace around her waist once again.
“Not aiming to get married? Aiming for the benefits he can give you instead?”
“Why not!”
“He can offer a price, and I can afford it,”
Byron said, his expression almost devouring Cora.
“Mr. Hansen, I know you are wealthy and powerful, but at the moment, I prefer Tyler.”
But when Cora sweetly called out
“Tyler,”
it felt like Byron’s eyebrows were about to freeze into ice.
He took a deep drag on his cigarette and blew the smoke toward Cora’s face.
“Are you sure Tyler can satisfy you?”
Cora turned her face away, but the smoke still made her cough a few times, slightly annoyed.
“I heard that a man’s 25th year is a turning point. I believe Tyler is more capable than you, Mr.Hansen.”
But Cora, being too naive, didn’t know that provoking Byron was unwise.
As expected, as soon as Byron was suspected of not having good skills in bed by Cora, he lost all rationality and forcefully pushed Cora into the ladies’ restroom…
Cora never expected that Byron would do such a thing to her in this cramped bathroom.
There were people passing by outside from time to time, occasionally accompanied by the sound of their conversations.
But those people would never have guessed that a clandestine affair was unfolding in this tiny space.
“Cora?
“Are you in there, Cora?”
In the hazy state of mind, Cora heard Tyler’s slightly anxious voice calling out to her.
Cora’s consciousness returned, and she wanted to break free from Byron’s grasp.
But Byron didn’t let go, and he lowered his voice to ask her,
“Are you sure you want to see Tyler in this state?”
Cora lowered her head and looked at her own embarrassed state alongside Byron’s. She had no choice but to give up struggling.
It wasn’t because she was afraid of Tyler finding out something, but simply because she didn’t want anyone to think that she was such a loose woman.
However, in Byron’s eyes, her silence was a sign of her concern for Tyler.
This feeling drove him completely out of control and made him lose his mind.
Cora also felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown. Fortunately, at that moment, she heard Tyler’s voice outside as he called Sally.
“Sally, Cora is not in the restroom. Can you see if she’s near the private room? I’ll check the fire escape over there.”
Accompanied by his words, Tyler’s footsteps gradually faded away.
After that, Cora finally felt relieved.
At the same time, Byron’s phone started ringing.
The abrupt ringtone caused both of them to visibly startle.
But Byron had no intention of answering the call. He let the phone ring and continued his intimate actions.
Cora, unwilling to be possessed by Byron, took advantage of his distraction and retrieved the phone from his pocket.
On the phone screen, there was only a string of mobile numbers displayed without a contact name.
But Cora had a good memory, and she instantly recognized that these numbers were the same as the ones from that day when she mistakenly answered Jane’s phone call.
“Your fianc?e is calling you!”
Her eyes were filled with a drunken blush, exuding charm and allure, but deep down in her gaze, there was only provocation.
“If your fianc?e sees you shamelessly forcing another woman but refusing to meet her, what expression do you think she would have?”
While provoking, Cora’s thumb was still gesturing near the edge of the call button as if to tell Byron that if he didn’t stop violating her, she would call Jane to come and see what her fianc? was doing behind closed doors!
But Cora never expected Byron’s response to be.
“Go ahead and call her. I’m curious about her expression too!”
Cora was stunned.
Speaking of shamelessness, she is really no match for this man.
But in the end, the intimacy was interrupted.
It was because they heard Harry and Jane’s conversation from outside.
“I just heard Byron’s phone ringtone coming from inside this restroom.”
“Jane, you must have misheard. This is the ladies’ restroom.”
“I didn’t mishear. The sound came from inside. Let me go in and take a look.”
“This…”
After all, Byron had no interest in displaying explicit scenes in front of others, so he let go of Cora in the end, tidied up his clothes, and went out.
“Byron?”
As soon as he appeared, both Jane and Harry were slightly stunned.
“How did you get into this restroom?”
Byron indifferently passed the two of them without saying a word.
Harry frowned and wanted to say something, but he noticed that Byron had one hand in his pocket.
In addition, after Byron came out, the bathroom just now was closed from the inside again.
As men, Harry naturally understood what was going on, so he quickly defused the situation.
“He must have had too much to drink and got the wrong restroom.”
“Did Byron drink too much just now? I didn’t see him drink much.”
