Filed to story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
After all, she had been with Byron for a while, and Cora figured out some of this man’s temper and habits.
For example, like now, his jawline tensed up, which meant he was on the verge of getting angry.
So she dropped her other concerns and quickly brought out some praise.
“No, what Carter has, Mr. Hansen has too, bigger and more.”
A man liked others to praise his ability in certain aspects, which was what Sally said.
Cora only wanted to extinguish the man’s anger as much as possible so as not to cause a disturbance in her workplace and to avoid any bad influence on her. If his fianc?e had found out, she would make things hard for her.
Unexpectedly, Byron’s eyes widened as soon as her words came out.
“How do you know that I am bigger than Carter? Have you seen his?”
The blush on Cora’s face spread to her ears!
What was with what!
Seeing Cora’s embarrassment, Byron seemed to know the answer, and he calmed down a lot.
He stopped making things difficult for Cora anymore and just asked,
“Don’t you need help? Let’s go.”
Cora looked up at him and was puzzled. Did he really want to go meet her mother together?
The latter only glanced at her and urged impatiently.
“Carter is busy and will not come here today. If you don’t hurry, I won’t help you either.”
Cora paused and finally took Byron to the burns unit.
In the Burns Ward.
“Cora, you brought your friend here. Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I didn’t even have time to change the hospital gown!”
Flora was overjoyed but still a little uneasy.
“Mom, it’s okay. He’ll just come and sit for a little while and leave. There’s no need to make a big fuss.”
As soon as Cora’s words came out, Byron unexpectedly followed suit.
“Mrs. Flora Lane, Cora is right. I just came to see you. Please be comfortable.”
These words made Cora glance at Byron in surprise.
She thought that with Byron’s background and ability, even if the woman’s family background was not bad, he should disdain to please her parents.
Furthermore, he appeared in front of Flora just to help.
Cora once thought that he must be the same as outsiders were present and treated Flora coldly, answering only what was asked at most.
She didn’t want his attitude to be better than she had imagined, and even gave her a vague illusion that he came to see Flora because he wished to marry her.
In fact, it was not just Cora, and even Flora felt that a person like Byron, who had a great appearance and an unusual aura and would be seen as taciturn at first glance, may not have a better attitude.
She cared so much about dressing because she was worried about leaving a wrong impression on him and making the atmosphere of the rare meeting awkward.
But Byron’s rarely shown politeness and enthusiasm at the moment, which made her heave a sigh of relief.
“By the way, I haven’t asked your name!”
“My name is Byron Hansen. You can call me Byron.”
The man said.
“Then I’ll call you Byron. I heard that you are working as an assistant. You must be very busy at work.”
Flora personally made coffee for Byron.
After she married into the Lane family, she didn’t go out to socialize for years.
She knew that the Hansen family headed the four prominent families in New York, but she had never met anyone from that family, and she didn’t know that the Byron she was calling in front of her was the
God of Wealth in New York.
As for the question about work, Byron did not answer directly. Instead, he glanced at Cora.
The latter touched her nose and looked at the sky as if none of her business…
Byron withdrew his gaze and replied with a half smile,
“Work is okay, and I’m not that busy. The boss treats me very well.”
When Cora heard the part about his boss, she almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.
This man had really thick skin, and he didn’t forget to praise himself in this situation.
“That’s good. I heard that nowadays young people work overtime all the time. It’s time-consuming and harmful to their health. I’m afraid you will do the same.”
Later, Flora and Byron talked about many topics, such as how many people there were in their family and whether they planned to live with their parents after they got married.
Cora interrupted several times, thinking that Flora had asked too many questions.
She and Byron didn’t even count as dating, so there was no need to know whether he wanted to live at home when he got married.
“Mom, we aren’t even starting to date yet, so don’t ask.”
“You are all together ready, and you haven’t started anything? And I just want to ask Byron what he thinks as a reference for your future.”
Flora insisted.
It was Byron who took the initiative to soothe her.
“Mrs. Flora Lane is concerned about it. I bought a property myself in the early years and planned to move out after I got married.”
“Very good. Wouldn’t it be challenging to take out a loan with your kind of work at the current house price?”
Cora felt that Flora’s question was a little unnecessary.
This person was New York’s God of Wealth. He should have so much money that he couldn’t spend it all in his next life. Why would he need a loan to buy a house?
As expected, Byron replied,
“No.”
Later, Flora chatted with Byron a lot and said before parting,
“Actually, I was worried that If the operation went wrong, Cora would become helpless, so I was in a hurry to ask her to bring you here.”
“Mom, I said before that this operation has a high success rate, so there’s no need to do this.”
Cora quickly comforted her.
Instead, Byron said solemnly,
“Mrs. Flora Lane, don’t worry. No matter what the result of the operation is, I will take good care of her.”
“With your words, I am relieved.”
Flora thanked him again and again.
Cora gave Byron a complicated look.
After they said goodbye to Flora and left the hospital in Byron’s car, Cora still couldn’t settle down.
“Thank you for today…”
Initially, she just wanted to get someone to prevaricate Flora, and she didn’t expect that Byron not only helped her out, but also impeccably played the part.
Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Byron glanced at her sitting in the passenger seat.
“Thank me? Why don’t you tell me how come my job is an assistant?”
Cora was stunned for a moment, she didn’t expect that it was rare for her to express her gratitude, but the other party was still struggling with such a minor detail.
Byron didn’t get a reply, so he asked again,
“Could it be planned from the beginning to steal Carter from me?”
His voice was as deserted as the late-night autumn wind blowing in through the car window.
“You should ask your fianc?e this question, not me.”
Cora’s temper flared a little, and she cast her eyes on the scenery that kept moving backward outside the car window.
“What does this have to do with her?”
“If she hadn’t gone to my mother and told her that I had an assistant as a boyfriend, I wouldn’t have been put on the spot to ask for help.”
After saying this, Byron remained silent for a long time.
The silence in the car lasted long enough and made Cora feel awkward, so she glanced at him quietly.
However, with the light pouring in from the car window, his handsome face with sharp edges and corners looked even more palpitating, and his eyes were even more unpredictable.
Cora thought he could be thinking about how much truth was there regarding what she said just now.
After all, it involved his nominal fianc?e.
Feeling little anger, then she unconsciously blurted out.
“What? Don’t believe what I said?”
But the man suddenly stepped on the brakes.
“No, I was just wondering if you suddenly took the initiative to look for me to play last night. Was it for me to help you?”
Listening to the word
“play”
that the man said slowly, Cora didn’t know why so many R-rated images appeared in her mind, so she was a little annoyed.
“Is it so important that I asked you for help? Haven’t you already refused?”
They were about to go their separate ways, yet she was still thinking about those things with him!
Maybe she really was just like what she said, a bad person!
