“I don’t think I can even stomach another drink. Your lovey??ovey display has killed my appetite.”
The rest burst into laughter, but Byron continued to fix his affectionate gaze on Cora.
“What question do you want to ask? Speak up.”
The tenderness in his deep eyes could move everyone. After everyone’s cheer subsided, all eyes turned to Cora. They all presumed that Cora would ask a lovey??ovey question. Something like,
“If both me and your mom fell into the water at the same time, would you save me or your mom?”
In fact, Nora had already specifically instructed Byron to save Cora if she were to ask such a question. Nora added,
“I can swim, and even if I couldn’t make it, dying is dying. I’ve lived long enough to be content with that. Don’t worry about me. I won’t be unhappy.”
Nora’s amusing remark had the groomsmen roaring with laughter. Therefore, at this moment, everyone believed that Cora would ask the question as Nora instructed, eagerly anticipating Byron to reveal Nora’s answer. However, what they did not anticipate was Cora’s response.
“That year, at the traffic light intersection near the medical school, there was a madman who randomly attacked people with a knife…”
As Cora posed this question, Byron’s gaze suddenly froze, and he visibly became rigid. Noticing the unusual reaction, the onlookers sensed that there was more to this question.
“What’s happening?”
“Oh no, could there be some family skeletons?”
The crowd engaged in murmurs and discussions, while Harry too grew somewhat flustered.
“I hope nothing goes awry at this crucial moment. If Byron fails to marry today, he will surely lose his mind.”
However, Efren reassured them, stating,
“Just watch and relax. With their high anticipation for this wedding, they will ensure its smooth continuation.”
Despite Efren’s reassurance, Harry remained somewhat uneasy. Georgia was so nervous that she gripped Efren’s suit tightly, inadvertently causing wrinkles on his impeccably. tailored attire. Sally was anxious as well, holding her breath, with a lingering anticipation that whatever Cora was about to reveal at this moment would be far from simple…
Sally remembered that Cora had mentioned this to her before. Cora said she was saved by Eason at that time. So later, when Eason got close to Cora, Cora started developing feelings for him. And they eventually became partners…
“Could it be that Cora wants to tell Byron at this very moment that she still feels indebted to Eason and wants to be with him?”
Sally wondered. As soon as this thought crossed her mind, a wave of nausea hit Sally. She made up her mind. If Cora dared to say something like that to Byron, Sally would definitely help Byron knock Cora out and take her away. Everyone held their breath. Cora spoke softly,
“I was on my way to school when I coincidentally ran into that lunatic. He swung a knife at my face, but a guy saved me. He took the blow on his shoulder for me.”
Cora reached out and gently caressed Byron’s right shoulder as she said this. Even though she couldn’t feel the wound under his thick suit, touching that spot involuntarily softened her expression.
“Blood stained that guy’s face, making it difficult for me to see what he looked like. All I remember is that I held onto him and cried until my dad and brother arrived. I was terrified at the time, and the scene was chaotic. By the time I snapped out of it, that guy was already gone. So…
That guy was you, right? You saved me, didn’t you?”
In fact, that day in the car, Cora had pretty much confirmed that it was Byron who saved her. But she still wanted to hear it directly from Byron’s mouth. The bridesmaids and groomsmen who were watching were left dumbfounded after hearing Cora’s words.
They thought,
“So Byron not only had a long??tanding crush on Cora, quietly supported her in establishing Sunda Group, provided scholarship opportunities, but also took a knife for her? Just the thought of it gives me goosebumps.”
Especially Harry, he stared at Byron with disbelief. He thought,
“Could all of these things really have been done by the seemingly indifferent Byron from before? Did he really save the person he liked and conceal his identity?”
Harry found it hard to believe. If Byron had really saved Cora, he wouldn’t have been so apathetic when he saw Cora dating Eason. Instead, Harry believed that Byron should have gone straight to Cora and shown her the scar on his shoulder. But Harry never expected to hear it directly from Byron’s mouth,
“It was me…”
Then, under the gaze of Harry and the other bridesmaids and groomsmen, Cora eagerly threw herself into Byron’s arms.
“Then why didn’t you tell me your name back then? Moreover, even afterward, you had so many opportunities to explain everything to me. Why didn’t you tell me anything?”
If Byron had said those words they first met at the bar, they wouldn’t have wasted so much time going around in circles. And apart from their initial meeting, every time, he would guide her hand to touch the wound. If Byron had just told the truth back then, it would have been so much better, But he wasted numerous chances, causing them to miss out on four years…
“I want our relationship to be pure, not built on the premise of me saving you,”
Byron said. Cora immediately teared up,
“You fool…”
Byron quickly wiped away her tears and comforted her,
“No, you’re the fool. No crying on such a joyous day.”
As the two gazed deeply into each other’s eyes, Sally’s puzzled voice broke the silence.
“Wait, what’s going on? Cora, didn’t you say it was Eason who saved you, and that’s why you ended up with him?”
B
“How is it that you’re now claiming it was Byron who saved you?”
Sally was a bit confused, not really understanding what had happened. And it wasn’t just her. Others looked at them with a mix of confusion. Cora smiled apologetically and said,
“Well, at the time, my dad and brother brought me home. After I had calmed down, I started asking around for the hospital where the person who saved me was. I wanted to go visit him. But the nurse helped me match the details of the person who saved me back then, and Eason Patton was the closest match in terms of age and the reasons for the injury that I mentioned…”
Georgia quickly approached her and asked,
“So, did you end up dating Eason because of this incident?”
Cora let out a sheepish smile. But that was exactly what had happened. Mistaking her savior led to that whole mix??p of a romance. Georgia, after listening to the story, angrily exclaimed to Byron,
“Uncle Byron, did you hear that? Just because you didn’t reveal the truth, you missed out on all these years. And someone else got ahead of you!”
But Byron chuckled and said,
“Timing isn’t about being early or late. It’s about being just right…”
His tender gaze remained fixed on Cora. In reality, upon learning about Cora and Eason dating, Byron had also experienced moments of getting drunk and feeling his heart getting ripped apart. Even now, Cora and Eason’s past relationship still lingered as a hurdle within him. Despite knowing that Cora had given herself to him for the first time, he still felt that it wasn’t perfect. However, upon hearing Cora’s heartfelt words, he finally found solace. He now fully understood that Cora had intended to be with him right from the start, and Eason was just an unfortunate mistake. Thankfully, Cora and Byron had come full circle and hadn’t missed each other…
“Oh my goodness, this is giving me goosebumps!”
Harry playfully remarked,
“I never would’ve guessed that Byron is such a romantic!”
“Wow, this is incredibly touching! Your love truly inspires envy,”
Georgia commented, visibly moved by Byron’s recent actions. She gazed teary??yed at the newlyweds. Efren swiftly pulled Georgia into his arms.
“Silly girl, don’t just envy others. Cherish me too, would you? Wasn’t I always good to you? Just because you’ve got me, you think you don’t need to treasure me anymore, huh?”
Blushing, Georgia quickly covered Efren’s mouth.
“What do you mean I don’t cherish you? Don’t say such things!”
The profound love between these two couples made everyone exclaim,
“Love is real!”
Afterwards, Byron lifted Cora into the car, creating a stunning scene. Some people farewell at the doorstep, with Sara’s eyes turning red momentarily.
William couldn’t hold back his tears, saying,
“This is amazing! After all those twists and turns, they finally ended up together…”
They watched as the convoy disappeared into the distance. The road leading to the church was covered in rose petals. As the convoy moved forward, the swirling petals created a truly romantic ambiance. A helicopter followed overhead, capturing the entire journey. Numerous television stations and live streaming platforms swiftly initiated live coverage of this extravagant wedding ceremony. Onlookers crowded both sides of the road, completely awestruck.
“This wedding must have cost millions, no doubt about it. They’re throwing rose petals around like they’re a dime a dozen.”
“Millions?
It’s probably even more. I heard Dr. Lane’s wedding dress was adorned with real diamonds. That alone must have cost millions.”
“I can’t even fathom the lives of the wealthy…”
In a blink of an eye, the wedding car arrived at the main wedding scene. The wedding was held on the open??ir lawn. The green grass was decorated with various heart??haped flower gates and colorful balloons. Everything was beautiful. The people who came to the wedding were all dressed up, with smiles on their faces. The expensive wine was delivered to the guests who came to watch the ceremony in the shuttle of the waiters. People drank and laughed. Until the wedding march sounded, people turned their attention to the entrance. Cora wore a custom??ade handmade wedding dress, elegant, beautiful, and generous, and appeared on the stage holding William’s hand. Across the short red carpet, Cora saw Byron wearing a pure white groom’s dress, holding flowers, and waiting for her at the finish line.
Most of the time, Byron liked to wear a black suit, which looked mysterious, elegant, and luxurious. But today, he changed into a white dress for a rare occasion at the wedding. Cora realized that the sacred pure white color was also so suitable for him. Byron looked handsome, and energetic, and exuded the aura of a long time in a high position, like a prince who came out of a fairy tale.
Everyone presented admired him. The red carpet was not long. Byron looked at Cora wearing a wedding dress and walked towards him. He smiled, but his eyes were red. Because what flashed in his mind was not only the previous misses but also the hardships of Cora taking care of Martin alone for four years. The only thing he was lucky about was that after going around, the two still held their prosperous wedding. William brought Cora to Byron and solemnly placed Cora’s hand in Byron’s palm.
“Treat her well! She is the most precious treasure in my life…”
314 William’s hoarse voice was full of reluctance. Byron held Cora’s hand fightly and solemnly promised William,
“I will. And not just this life. I would like to stay with Cora alone for all my life. William was satisfied with such a solemn promise. He looked at Cora again. His fears got out of control again.
“Even if you are married, you are still the most cherished daughter in my life. The door of the Yoris family is always open for you. Remember to go home and have a look!?”
Cora saw William crying all day and knew that he was really reluctant to let her go.
“Don’t worry, Dad. I know you love me. Even if you don’t tell me, I will always go home and have a look”
She hugged William, and her words relieved William. Later, William left the carpet and gave up the stage to the two of them. The priest began to ask them,
“Mr. Byron Hansen, the bridegroom, are you willing to accept Ms. Cora Lane as your wife in the form of marriage?
Whether you are in good times or bad, rich or poor, happy or sad, you will always love her and take care of her forever?”
Without hesitation, Byron replied almost as soon as the priest finished speaking,
“Yes!”
So, the priest set his sights on Cora again.
“Bride, Ms. Cora Lane, are you willing to accept Mr. Byron Hansen as your husband in the form of marriage? Accept the self??onfidence and obligations that marriage gives you. From now on when you are happy, let him share your happiness, and when you are sad let him share your sorrow from time to time, grow together in love with you, and stay with him for life, never to be separated?”
At this moment, not only the priest but also Byron’s eyes were burning with anticipation, watching Cora. Countless people in the audience also focused their attention on Cora. Even Vaughn, who was behind the big tree at the moment, would stare at Cora…
B
Vaughn was so weak now that he couldn’t even walk by himself. On a trip today, the butler pushed him here in a wheelchair. After all, he was just rescued from death, and now he was recuperating with Cora’s medicine. Neither his doctor nor others were very much in favor of him. coming to the wedding today, for fear that he would be too emotional and overwhelmed. But Vaughn said,
“I want to get her forgiveness, and I will get through it.”
So in the end, everyone couldn’t convince him. So they could only accompany him here. Vaughn hid behind the big tree and watched Cora wearing a white wedding dress from a distance, and couldn’t help but marvel in his heart. It was so beautiful, exactly like the perfect bride in his fantasy. He heard that in this life, it was very difficult to meet someone who attracted him. Vaughn felt that he was lucky because he met the person who made her feel better. It was a pity that when he met Cora, Cora already had someone in her heart. Vaughn felt that he was unfortunate because he would end up regretting his whole life. So he hoped that if there was an afterlife, God could arrange for them to meet early and become a couple. Vaughn saw Cora looking at Byron with red eyes, and under the witness of everyone, she replied very firmly to the priest,
“Yes.”
At that moment, there was thunderous applause from the audience. Vaughn saw that everyone was using their actions to bless Byron and Cora, so he silently looked away. He hung the wedding gift he prepared for Cora and Byron on the top of the tree, and then told the housekeeper,
“Let’s go.”
Seeing Cora getting married happily, he was also happy. From now on, no matter where he was, he would silently pray for her, hoping that she would never suffer again in this life. The housekeeper saw Vaughn’s expression was a bit grim, so he quickly put a blanket on Vaughn and pushed him away. When Vaughn left the wedding scene, the priest said,
