Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband ( Cora Lane ) - Season 3 Episode 9

“He’s Eason’s uncle, and we’ve met a few times.”

Cora replied, looking up and seemingly composed.

But only she knew that her calm look masked the surging feelings in her heart.

Even if she tried her best to forget the happy moments she

had shared with Byron, just a casual mention of his name

made all those memories resurface and let her suffer even

more.

“Is that so?” Gabe frowned slightly, his inquiring gaze searching for clues on Cora’s face.

However, Cora gritted her teeth, concealing her bitterness and helplessness. She spoke calmly, “Well,

yes, it’s like that. Why do you ask?”

“Nothing, I heard from my lawyer that he provided the bail for me, which allowed me to get out

smoothly. I thought there might be some kind of connection between you and him.”

Gabe also knew the relationship between Byron and Eason, so he was so worried when he learned

that it was Byron who had

bailed him out and even gave him a lot of money.

But Gabe was obviously relieved to hear that Cora calmly.

denied everything between her and Byron.

“Maybe he helped you because he once collaborated with Dad.” Cora could only use their late father as

an excuse.

In this way, Gabe wouldn’t go to find out whether what she

had said was true.

As for Byron, Cora knew he probably didn’t want anyone to know about their relationship, so he

wouldn’t meet with Gabe.

“Maybe.”

When they reached the subway entrance, Gabe said, Cora, I’ll temporarily stay at Lorenzo’s place. But

my phone will be on 24/7, so feel free to call me if you need anything.”

Lorenzo Yates was their late father’s right-hand man and

former chief lawyer of the Lane Group.

Cora and Gabe used to visit Lorenzo’s house frequently, so he

basically watched them grow up.

When Gabe was implicated, Lorenzo had been working hard to get him out.

So, Gabe staying at Lorenzo’s wasn’t surprising.

However, Cora still wanted to persuade him to come back with her. “Gabe, I bought an air mattress. If

you don’t want to sleep on my bed, you can sleep on the air mattress.”

She knew Gabe wouldn’t let her sleep on the sofa, so she had prepared everything before he was

released.

But Gabe still refused, saying, “That place is too small. Besides, Cora, you’re a grown woman now, and

it would be inconvenient for both of us to live together.”

Seeing Cora’s dejected expression, he comforted her, “But I promise you, once I’ve settled down, I’ll

find a bigger place as soon as possible and bring you over.”

Gabe’s reasoning made sense. Although they were siblings, they were still a man and a woman.

Cora’s apartment was indeed quite small, and it would be inconvenient for them to live together.

So, in the end, Cora compromised.

After seeing Gabe off at the subway station, Cora returned to

Flora’s ward.

Flora was knitting that scarf again, already halfway done.

“Why are you back?” Flora asked, glancing at Cora and then

focusing on the scarf, her brows furrowing.

Cora wasn’t sure if Flora was worried that she would ask for

that scarf or if she was curious why Cora hadn’t gone home

with Gabe.

Cora believed it was the latter since she saw the scarf as a gift

from Flora to repair their mother-daughter relationship.

“Gabe wanted to stay at Lorenzo’s house and had already

informed him,” Cora said, sitting beside Flora. She planned to buy some things for Gabe and send

them to him this weekend.

“Then what else are you up to?” Flora’s question felt off to Cora, making her feel like Flora didn’t want

her to be there.

But Cora assumed it was due to Flora caring about the reason for the sudden visit to her ward

because, after all, Flora was

her mother.

She sniffed and tried to calm down as she replied, “Mom, I

broke up…”
