Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband ( Cora Lane ) - Season 5 Episode 59

After leaving Nora’s ward, Cora returned to the apartment where she and Byron used to live together.

The space of their apartment was small, but it held great significance for Cora.

On a late autumn night, she stood downstairs, contemplating for a long time before gathering the

courage to enter the room once again.

But as she switched on the lights and familiar sights flooded her vision, reminding her of every little

moment she spent with Byron, it felt like a boom was exploding in her mind.

Grief quickly multiplied and spread like a flood.

At that moment, everything seemed to drain Cora of all her strength, causing her to slide to the floor,

unable to speak through her tears…

It had been four years.

And she still missed him so much.

How she wished she could turn back time.

She would rather trade her life to have him back.

Cora recalled someone saying that one can escape the nights of revelry but not the empty streets.

It turned out that this moment was the most difficult to endure.

Without having to worry about Martin anymore, without considering the gaze of others, she felt as

though she was drowning in the sea of past sorrows, unable to free herself.

Cora didn’t know how long she had cried helplessly, but when she heard her phone ring, it was already

in the early hours of the morning.

It was a video call from Gabe.

Cora felt that she looked like a mess with her current tear-stained appearance and thought of waiting

until she was in a slightly better state before calling Gabe back.

But Gabe persisted, calling over and over again.

In the end, Cora had to answer the video call.

As soon as the call connected, Gabe’s anxious face appeared on the screen, saying, “Cora, are you

okay?”

He was afraid that Cora’s return to her old house would bring back unpleasant memories, so he sent

messages and made calls, hoping she would come to stay with him.

If not, staying in a hotel would also be fine.

But Cora’s phone had been unreachable, and he even worried that she might have done something

foolish, so he decided to drive over to find her.

Fortunately, Cora answered the video call.

But just by looking at her, it was clear that she had been crying all night.

Her eyes were so swollen they were barely open.

But even so, Cora made an effort and forced a smile, saying, “I’m fine. Gabe, don’t worry about me.”

“Who else should I worry about if not you? I’ll come pick you up. Come stay at my place tonight.”

“Gabe, I don’t want to be a third wheel.”

“Your sister-in-law won’t mind. She’s also really worried about you and keeps urging me to call and

check on you.”

“But I still can’t go.”

Seeing that Gabe wanted to say something else, she added, “Gabe, it’s been a long time since I’ve

returned to this home. Tonight, I don’t want to go anywhere or be disturbed by anyone.”

Gabe knew full well that she wanted to be alone in that room, cherishing the memories of someone.

So, in the end, he couldn’t bear to go against her wishes. “Then tomorrow morning, I’ll bring you

breakfast.

“Also, I’ll randomly call you to check on you, safe or not. If you don’t answer, I’ll come find you directly.”

Gabe reluctantly compromised but gave two more requests because he was afraid she might do

something foolish.

“Okay, I got it.”

Cora agreed and was about to end the video call when Gabe suddenly spoke up, “Cora, if you’re free

tomorrow night, can you accompany me to an evening event?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to ask my sister-in-law?”

“You know how she is. She stutters as soon as she appears on such occasions. If I want her help to

close a business deal, it’s simply impossible.”

Gabe’s fiancée came from an ordinary family, unlike Cora, who grew up in a wealthy and influential

household. Since childhood, Cora had accompanied her father to various banquets and was always

poised and confident when conversing with anyone.

One reason Gabe wanted Cora’s help was to negotiate a business deal.

The other reason was that he learned that at the Hansen Group’s dinner event, Osborn was going to

hand over the company to his successor formally.

Combining what he had heard accidentally in the business circle before, Gabe speculated that the

successor who would be present tomorrow night was very likely the person who had caused Cora so

much heartbreak…
