But soon, Carter said,
“But after Ms. Lydia Hansen went back, she began to collect gold bars from various banks.”
“Gold bars?”
Byron frowned slightly.
In the evening, Byron came to Cora’s apartment as usual.
Cora was wearing an apron and was sculpting her work with concentration.
After Byron untied his tie and threw it on the couch, he stepped forward and put his arms around Cora from behind.
“Don’t touch me. This is for the competition.”
Cora slapped his hands away.
“That woodcarving competition which is held every five years?”
Byron wasn’t annoyed by being slapped away. He just stood aside and watched the woman focus on carving.
He had also heard about the event in the past two days, but he didn’t expect that she would also participate.
“Well, my teacher told me about the event two days ago and asked me to get ready. When the time comes, I will bring my work and participate with my senior brothers.”
Every time she mentioned Arnold, Cora couldn’t hide her love and respect for him.
“What are you making?”
Byron looked at the wooden carving, which only had a prototype, and he couldn’t guess what it was.
“Dream Home.”
Cora said,
“I think the people who organized the competition this time are very good at playing. The theme is Dream Home. The award ceremony will be held on the afternoon of Christmas. After the competition, people can go home and reunite. It’s quite artistic.”
Byron had no interest in the competition, and after looking at Cora for a while, he turned to her.
“I think you are more artistic now.”
The heater was on in the room, and she was wearing a skin-colored silk nightgown that he liked. At first glance, she seemed to be wearing only an apron, which made him excited.
When being pushed onto the table by Byron, Cora was not annoyed but hugged his neck and asked him,
“Does your fianc?e know that your mind is full of stuff like this?”
“Then does your boyfriend know that you scratch my back every night after he says goodnight to you?”
Byron asked back.
For the goodnight matter, Byron had accidentally found out about it two days ago. Cora was texting
Tyler on WhatsApp, and she forgot to lock her screen when she left her phone on the couch.
Then, Byron discovered that Tyler would take the initiative to send WhatsApp messages to Cora almost every day. Even if Tyler was busy in the hospital late at night, he would still remember to say goodnight to Cora.
At that time, Byron didn’t ask any questions, but he was more ruthless than usual.
Cora thought that the matter would be over, but she didn’t expect that he would bring it up again.
“How can I let my boyfriend know? If he knows, I’ll be too embarrassed to go to his home for Christmas
Eve dinner.”
As soon as she said that, Cora felt a bone-piercing pain in her jaw.
“Ouch!”
The man ignored her cry of pain and asked her while pinching her chin.
“Are you going to the Cooper family on Christmas?”
Cora was struggling with pain, but the man didn’t care.
In the end, Cora could only say,
“Didn’t I promise to help him fool the elders? Of course, I have to be with him during the Christmas.”
In fact, Cora also wanted to refuse, but she had never stayed alone on Christmas Eve before.
But this year, her father passed away. Her mother’s examination report came out today, which showed that she would have another skin graft. She would still be recovering by then, unable to walk around.
As for Gabe, although the process had already started, it was estimated that he would not come out until after the process was completed, which would be after the Christmas.
Although Sally also invited Cora to visit their home in Kinton, Cora knew that her family background was unusual, so Cora also refused.
In this way, she would be alone on Christmas.
She was at a loss, so she didn’t refuse Tyler’s request.
“What about me?”
His voice was deep and hoarse.
“You will celebrate the Christmas with your family. Why are you asking?”
Cora looked away, deliberately not looking at his deep eyes.
In fact, she also guessed that Byron wanted her to spend the Christmas with him.
When she thought of her greed and what she had promised Lydia, she was not sure what decision
Byron would make when she broke up with him.
Everything was unknown, and she dared not let herself fall for him.
“Well, you really know how to arrange things.”
The man sneered.
Cora gritted her teeth tightly, not to let her cowardice and helplessness be seen.
But the man began to bully her even more at this time.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m afraid you’ll cheat on me during the Christmas.”
He showed no mercy.
“Isn’t there still half a month?”
Cora gritted her teeth.
“Precaution!”
Cora was speechless.
At the Patton family.
Lydia was counting the gold bars she had collected when Eason came back from the outside, reeking of alcohol.
“Why did you drink so much again?”
Although Lydia complained, she still called the maid.
“Make some tea.”
Then she personally took Eason upstairs to rest.
“How many times have I told you that drinking will only hurt your body and not solve the problem? Why don’t you listen to me?”
“I don’t want to marry Mia at all, but the whole world is forcing me to marry her. What can I do?”
Eason was thrown onto the bed by Lydia and hiccupped.
“How did we force you? We didn’t make Mia have your child! If you didn’t want to marry her back then, you shouldn’t have gotten her pregnant twice.”
Lydia also felt sorry for her son getting drunk every day, but it was also true that Mia was pregnant with the kid of the Patton family. Now the entire Hansen family was waiting for Eason to give an explanation.
“I didn’t want to…”
Eason was extremely wronged. The second time was really unexpected because he mistook Mia for Cora.
“Mom, do you know what my friends say about me behind my back? They said that when they undressed girls, it was like foreplay. When I undressed Mia, it was like untying a pig.
“Also, they said that I dumped Cora for Mia because I loved Mia’s fat body, her headstrongness, and her double chin.”
Maybe he was really drunk. Eason cried, told the rumors he had heard recently, and begged his mother,
“Mom, just let me get back with Cora. I really don’t want to be with Mia anymore.”
Lydia disliked Cora the most in the past two days, but Eason kept mentioning Cora, which completely made her angry.
“So, you don’t want to marry Mia, and it’s because of Cora, right? Then do you know who she is with now?”
“Who?”
Eason was puzzled for a moment, and then he remembered what happened earlier and said,
“Isn’t it Carter?”
“Mom, she was hurt by me. That’s why she made such an impulsive decision. So I don’t mind any of this at all. As long as we can reconcile, I will take it as if nothing happened.”
Listening to Eason’s spineless words, Lydia couldn’t contain her anger. And she simply went to find another photo that had been developed before and threw it in front of Eason.
“Take a good look for yourself. Is it just about her being with Carter?”
Eason picked up the photos, initially indifferent, but his expression grew more serious as he continued to look.
“This person is…
Uncle Byron?”
Looking at the photos of the two of them passionately kissing in swimsuits, Eason felt a throbbing headache.
Cora was tossed all night by Byron, and when she woke up the next day, she felt her legs trembling when she walked.
Byron saw her embarrassed appearance when she came down from upstairs and told her coldly,
