Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband ( Cora Lane ) - Season 5 Episode 2

Cora’s expression changed, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

“What’s wrong?” Byron asked before shooting a cold glance at Nicholas.

Obviously, he had also noticed something.

Nicholas laughed out loud, not at all looking like someone who had just lost his mother. “It was just a

joke. I didn’t expect her to be so surprised!”

“Don’t joke carelessly, or I assume Uncle Lionel will no longer see you as a son anymore.”

Byron’s warning was evident.

“There’s no need to be that harsh.”

Nicholas was still smiling, as if what happened just now hadn’t affected their relationship as cousins at

all.

Later, he even took Byron and Cora to the mourning hall with an expression as if nothing happened.

Byron’s aunt would be buried in a few days.

As soon as Byron and Cora arrived at the mourning hall, they paid their respects first before looking at

the deceased’s face.

Cora took one look at the body and immediately frowned.

Once they were done, Byron’s uncle, Lionel Morwick, approached to greet them.

“Your aunt left so suddenly. I don’t even know how to tell the Hansen family about this.”

Lionel’s expression looked weary.

Byron said, “Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the inevitable course of life. My father is also aware

of this. However, he believes it isn’t appropriate for the elder ones to mourn for the younger ones, so he

asked me to come here in his stead.”

“That’s fine.” Lionel nodded, then suddenly looked at Cora, who was standing next to Byron, and said,

“She is…”

“She’s my wife, Cora.”

Byron turned again and introduced his uncle to Cora, “Cora, this is my uncle, Lionel.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Lionel Morwick. I’m Cora.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Lionel nodded at Cora, then said to Byron, “This lady is a good match for you. But when did you get

married? All of us here in Burcane didn’t know about it.”

Cora was unsure whether it was only her imagination, but she seemingly sensed Lionel’s displeasure

from his words.

“We have just obtained the marriage certificate, and there is no wedding yet,” Byron still answered

politely before adding, “Of course, I will invite you to our wedding in New York when the time comes.”

“All right. Then I can’t wait to attend your wedding ceremony.”

After exchanging some pleasantries, Lionel asked Nicholas to show them to the Morwick Mansion’s

guest room.

“You must be tired after traveling all day. I’ll have the food delivered to your room later.”

Aside from his frivolous attitude at the beginning, Nicholas looked quite well-mannered.

Nicholas then left after Cora said her thanks.

But the moment Nicholas left, Byron immediately called Carter.

“What have you found?”

Cora didn’t know what Carter was saying on the phone, only that she thought Byron’s expression was

slightly cold.

After Byron ended the call, Cora asked, “Did your uncle tell you the cause of your aunt’s death?”

“Heart attack.”

“Was it merely a heart attack?”

Byron looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I keep thinking that her face looks gruesome. It was as if she was angered to death.”

Byron frowned. He didn’t answer and only instructed Cora, “I may have to go out tonight, so you have

to lock the doors and windows later. If something happens, call me right away.”

“All right.”

Cora had an inkling that Byron also suspected something was wrong with his aunt’s death. He probably

wanted to look into it when he went out later, but he didn’t tell her straight away, as to not scare her too

much.

As night fell, Byron left.

When Cora had done showering and was about to sleep, she thought of something and put a glass of

water on the doorknob.

She was very sleepy, but due to the unfamiliar environment and Byron’s absence, she kept tossing and

turning, unable to fall asleep.

A few hours later, when she finally felt drowsy and was about to fall asleep, she heard the breaking

sound of a glass falling to the floor.
