But Cora didn’t want to take the blame either.
“She said my entire family deserved what happened to them, and she cursed my mother. That’s why I slapped her.”
For some reason, Cora felt the need to defend herself, hoping that Byron, who had only known her for a few days, wouldn’t consider her a rude and unreasonable person.
Yet, after defending herself, she realized that the effort must be in vain. After all, Eason had been in a relationship with her for years, and he still wouldn’t believe her.
In a fit of frustration, Cora stormed off towards the elevator without looking back. But Byron’s expression darkened as she left.
“Did you hear that? She started it. She deserved the slap,”
Byron shook off Eason’s hand and cast a cold gaze at Mia.
Eason’s lips moved, but no words came out. He didn’t dare to speak up against Byron for Mia’s sake.
Mia, feeling embarrassed, couldn’t help but protest,
“Mr. Hansen, you can’t blame me just because
Cora said so!”
Mia was well aware of Byron’s influential position within the Patton family. She feared that Byron’s dislike towards her would lead to Eason disliking her as well.
However, to her dismay, Byron responded with disdain,
“Who do you think you are? Do I have to listen to you?”
Mia’s face turned red with embarrassment, while Eason remained silent, unwilling to confront Byron on
Mia’s behalf.
Byron glanced at both of them coldly once more.
“This is your first visit here, and you’ve already caused such a scene. Don’t bring her here again. Embarrassing.”
While Byron scolded Eason, his mocking words were directed at Mia, indicating that she was the source of embarrassment.
Mia couldn’t contain her anger and burst into tears on the spot. But Eason still didn’t speak up for her.
He simply accepted Byron’s request,
“I understand.”
After Byron left, Eason sent Mia back home. Yet he couldn’t forget about how Byron helped Cora.
Eason thought his uncle was never someone who would meddle in other people’s affairs.
Something seemed to click in Eason’s mind. He felt that he was close to grasping it…
Mia clung onto Eason’s arm, interrupting his thoughts.
“Eason, my stomach hurts.”
“Don’t be dramatic. Cora slapped you in the face. How could your stomach hurt?”
Eason impatiently pushed Mia’s hand away.
Deep down, Eason didn’t care for Mia. He had defended her in front of Cora only because Mia was the most suitable marriage partner for the Patton family.
“No, my stomach really hurts,”
Mia insisted.
Mia knew that Eason didn’t truly love her. Coupled with Byron’s attitude towards her, she was worried that Eason wouldn’t marry her.
Eason’s impatience was evident,
“You’ll feel better if you just go and sit on the toilet for a while. Don’t pretend you’re some delicate damsel.”
Mia froze. She was well aware that Eason found her appearance and figure unappealing, but she didn’t expect him to express it so openly.
Nevertheless, her plan was already set in motion. Mia couldn’t afford to waste time and continued to pester Eason, tears streaming down her face.
“Eason, can you take me for an ultrasound? I feel something is wrong with my stomach.”
Eason’s patience was wearing thin, but he reluctantly agreed to take Mia for a check-up. However, he was met with unexpected news-the doctor informed them that Mia was pregnant.
Eason’s face instantly turned pale.
“Mia, I don’t think I’m ready to be a father yet…”
Mia questioned him heatedly,
“Do you want me to get an abortion?!”
Eason didn’t explicitly admit it, but his response was more hurtful than anything Mia could have imagined.
“Mia, I still can’t seem to forget about Cora,”
Eason confessed, delivering a blow to Mia’s heart.
At that moment, she thought about just giving him up, once and for all. But she couldn’t bring herself to do it. After enduring years of ridicule and scorn, Mia refused to surrender.
“Eason, the doctor said my health is fragile. If I were to have an abortion, I might never be able to conceive again. Please, don’t be so cruel,”
Mia pleaded, hoping to sway his heart.
Yet Eason turned and left without a word.
Later, Lydia paid Mia a visit, expressing her desire to expedite their marriage plans, so they could get it done before pregnancy made things too difficult for Mia.
However, Mia knew very well what was on Lydia’s mind. Lydia merely wanted to keep Eason from turning back to Cora and sought to secure a suitable partner for the Patton family.

After her shift at the hospital, Cora walked out, only to be surprised by the sight of a Koenigsegg Agera pulling up in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Byron’s handsome face.
“I’ve dealt with them. If they dare to mess with you again, defend yourself. Slap them back. Don’t be afraid.”
Caught off guard, Cora raised her head and looked at Byron.
Was he genuinely concerned about her, or was he merely interested in having her and Eason, the ex-
couple, having an ugly fight with each other in front of the entire hospital?
Byron spoke again, breaking through her thoughts.
“Get in the car.”
“…
No thanks, I’ll take the bus.”
Cora couldn’t decipher Byron’s intentions. And, the hospital was filled with people who knew them.
Being seen together would only fuel the gossip.
Undeterred, Byron drove slowly, keeping pace with her as she walked. With his striking looks and undeniable charm, he effortlessly drew attention from the passersby, almost causing a traffic jam.
Feeling the weight of the situation, Cora reluctantly relented and got into the car.
But she couldn’t help but feel irritated:
“What are you trying to pull? Do you want everyone to know something’s going on between us?!”
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing to you, perhaps! Nothing but another fling to you,”
Cora retorted, her voice tinged with frustration,
“But what about me? If others find out I go out with Eason’s uncle so soon after I broke up with Eason, what will they say about me?! It’s not just about my reputation, I might also lose my job at the hospital!”
Byron released his seatbelt and leaned in closer, catching Cora off guard.
“Are you trying to sever ties with me now?”
His eyes pierced as he held her chin.
Cora was about to respond when suddenly, Byron kissed her.
The kiss was more intense than ever, carrying a sense of punishment. Cora struggled, but his passion overwhelmed her, causing her to surrender.
The passionate kiss continued until they were interrupted by Eason’s voice from outside.
“Uncle Byron?”
Cora’s heart nearly stopped. She immediately pushed Byron away and sat up to tidy up her clothes.
She was most worried that others would find out that she had romantic affairs with Eason’s uncle, let alone Eason himself!
However, Byron seemed to be going against her and continued to tease her.
“How about we let him see it clearly? See us make love.”
Byron had a faint smile on his face, as if he were taunting her.
Cora gritted her teeth and shook her head hard.
Byron pinched her mischievously, causing her to yelp in pain.
Cora covered her mouth instinctively, and suddenly looked up and saw that Eason was bending over and peeking into the car window.
She suddenly felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat…
Her worried face only made Byron more amused. He yanked her hard and got on top of her.
Cora couldn’t imagine what Eason would think if he saw her lying under Byron’s body.
So she gathered all her strength and hid her face in Byron’s chest. She even took a bite to show her frustration!
This time, it was Byron’s turn to groan in pain.
“Don’t bite so hard, that hurts.”
“If you don’t stop playing around, I’ll bite you even harder!”
Cora said in a low voice.
Eason listened to the conversation inside. Through the gap in the window, he could vaguely see that
