Filed to story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
It was late at night when Efren returned to the new house.
Byron and Cora had already brought Georgia back earlier.
Cora had even helped her wash her face and change into comfortable loungewear.
After Georgia took off her wedding dress, she appeared petite and delicate..
As she lay on the new bed, it only made Efren grow fonder of her.
Efren couldn’t help but reminisce about that summer when he was eighteen. He, Byron, and some others went to the beach together, and Georgia insisted on lagging along with Byron.
The sky was a vivid blue that day, just like the sea. Amused, Efren had the idea of teasing Georgia a little bit.
Seizing the opportunity while Byron and the others went for a swim, Efren pretended to be drowning.
Georgia was terrified at the time, and without hesitation, she plunged into the water, crying as she pulled Efren back to shore.
Efren regretted playing that prank on her and even contemplated revealing the truth to this foolish girl.
But before he could, she leaned in and performed artificial respiration, pressing her l*ps against his.
Efren still vividly remembered that sensation. At that moment, it felt as if his heart was about to burst.
Consequently, he had never found the courage to tell Georgia that he was the champion of the New York Teen Swimming Competition.
From that day on, he had eagerly anticipated marrying Georgia.
The dream that had once seemed inattainable was now a reality.
Now, his dear Georgia lay obediently on their wedding, bed, awaiting his affectionate advances.
Efren nestled by Georgia’s side, enveloping her in his embrace and planting a k*ss on her l*ps.
Georgia slowly opened her drowsy eyes.
“Efren?”
She murmured.”Yes, what is it?”
Efren’s voice, deep and magnetic, exuded immense patience.
“I crave colton candy.”
Georgia’s voice still carried traces of her intoxicated state.
Efren gazed at the person beneath him, a mischievous grin playing on his l*ps.
“Okay, I’ll get you some. I’d give you everything…”
With that, he lowered his head, capturing her l*ps, and embarked on their enchanting wedding night.
After having consumed a fair amount of alcohol, Byron returned home and immediately embraced Cora, desiring to k*ss her.
As Byron watched the wedding of Georgia and Efren tonight, he couldn’t help but think that if Jane, that foolish woman, hadn’t caused so much trouble, today would be the day to celebrate the marriage of Cora and him.
Certain thoughts came to his mind, prompting his desire to be close to Cora.
However, Cora consistently pushed him away, and ultimately managed to break free from his grasp.
“Don’t touch me!”
Cora’s voice suddenly grew colder.
“Cora, I don’t want you to do anything to me. I just wanted to be close to you for a moment. We haven’t been intimate in a long time.”
Seeing Cora’s strong resistance, Byron explained with a sense of sadness.
He knew Cora had recently undergone a miscarriage, so there were certain activities she shouldn’t engage in. However, holding hands or embracing within the confines of a marital relationship should still have been acceptable.
Cora wouldn’t resist Byron as much in the presence of others, but in private, she wouldn’t let him even lay a finger on her.
Byron was becoming increasingly frustrated as he couldn’t recall the last time he had truly embraced Cora and felt her warmth.”Cora, is there something that you’re unhappy about regarding our relationship? Just tell me, I will definitely work on it.”
Byron half-crouched in front of Cora, lowering his voice and speaking in a conciliatory manner.
However, Cora merely shook her head with a bewildered expression, as she too couldn’t decipher her sudden aversion to Byron’s touch.
Failing to elicit the desired response, Byron attempted to grab Cora’s hand.
Yet, Cora promptly evaded his grasp, leaving Byron grasping at thin air.
Instead of immediately retracting his hand, he let it linger awkwardly in mid-air.
A palpable silence enveloped them, momentarily rendering them speechless.
After a while, Byron regained his voice, his tone husky and restrained.
“Cora, is it because I couldn’t save you and the baby in time last time? Is that why you’re mad at me?”
Cora continued to shake her head, She remained perplexed about the source of the problem.
However, upon witnessing the porplexed expression on Byron’s face, he proceeded to explain.
“I wanted to save you too. These past few days, I have been regretting not dispatching additional personnel to accompany you. I have also been reproaching myself for not locating you sooner.
Nevertheless, Cora, it seems as though these regrets hold little significance. At this moment, the only thing within my power is to remain steadfastly by your side, hoping for a swift recovery…”
Cora was well aware of the sentiments Byron expressed.Following her injury, Byron essentially worked from home, rarely straying from her presence.
Occasionally, he would engage in remote participation for certain meetings.
Cora could perceive Byron’s diligent care.
Yet, she couldn’t fathom why she had abruptly developed a reluctance to grow closer to him.
“Cora, I implore you. Please cease resisting my proximity.”
Byron’s voice grew unusually husky.
In the past, Byron would never allow her to remain alone within his reach.
Thus, for Byron to refrain from touching Corn throughout the past few weeks implied that his patience had essentially reached its limit.
He a*sumed the most humble posture, even attempting to take hold of Cora’s hand.
However, Cora still dismissed his gesture and swiftly sought refuge in the bathroom.
As the sound of the bathroom door being locked resonated, the last glimmer of light vanished entirely from Byron’s eyes.
Several minutes later, Byron left the house.
Upon hearing the sound of his car departing from the Hansen Mansion, Cora hurriedly opened the door, rushing outside.
However, when Byron caught her gaze through the rearview mirror, he remained resolute and drove away without a moment’s hesitation…
After two weeks, Georgia paid a visit to Cora at her house.
“Auntic, how about we go out for some pizza later? I don’t know what’s been going on these days, but I’ve been really craving pizza,”
Georgia said.
Despite the chilly weather, Georgia also had a hankering for ice cream.
Cora rummaged through her purse to find her phone and suggested,
“If that’s what you’re in the mood for, let’s go together.”
As soon as she picked up her phone, a breaking news alert appeared on the screen: [Byron Hansen and model Thea caught in an intimate rendezvous on Breezy Tides Island, displaying affection like a couple.]
Cora, who was skeptical about gossip, had seen numerous media outlets speculate about Byron in the past.
Unscrupulous tabloids, in particular, enjoyed manufacturing various scandals involving Byron and actresses to generate more interest.
Although Byron had previously paid little attention to these ?

Since then, Ham’s are rarely been featured in this type of sensational ne However, it seemed like today these petty rumors had resurfaced.
Cora hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist clicking on the news article As soon as she did, her smile vanished from her face, Alongside the extensive textual description of Byron and model Thea’s interactions, the article was accompanied by numerous photographs.
Many of these pictures were taken on the beach, capturing Byron and the incredibly well-toned woman lounging on beach chairs or playfully frolicking in the water.
Several photos even had clear shots of Byron’s face, leaving no room for doubt.
Cora’s heart sank as she read the article.
She couldn’t help but tremble all over, feeling as if the air had been sucked out of her lungs.”Auntie, haven’t you found your phone yet?”
Georgia waited anxiously, but Cora never showed up. Taking matters into her own hands, Georgia approached Cora and was taken aback by her ashen face.
“Auntie, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Georgia’s worry escalated, causing her voice to unintentionally rise a few notches.
However, her concerned tone snapped Cora back to reality.
“I…
I’m fine!”
Cora hastily tried to stash away her phone, desperate to hide whatever had transpired.
Anyway, her hands trembled uncontrollably, making it impossible to grasp the device.
With a clatter, the phone sl*pped from her grasp and hit the ground.
Luckily, Byron had personally customized Cora’s phone, ensuring not only its durability but also its high performance.
As Georgia helped retrieve the phone, she discovered it was unscathed, and the page that had been displayed hadn’t changed.
Consequently, Georgia also caught sight of the news about Byron being seen with a model on Breezy Tides Island.
“Well…”
Georgia suddenly understood the reason behind Cora’s distressed expression a moment ago.
However, all she could do for now was offer comfort.
“Surely, this is just some deceitful media outlet concocting rumors for the sake of publicity. Auntie, I’ll call Uncle Byron right away and have him take legal action against these media sources!”
