Chapter 74 She Is a Shield!
As the elevator doors were about to close, Byron, who had just been smoking by the flowerbed some
distance away,
stubbed out his cigarette and rushed in.
Cora ignored him and retreated to a corner.
She couldn’t help but secretly glance at him.
Byron adjusted his tie and tilted his head slightly to gaze at the ceiling lights of the elevator. The mole
at the corner of his
eye tightened along with the tense line of his jaw, making him more captivating.
Just now, their intimate activities only went halfway, and there was still the scent of each other on their
bodies.
Beneath their calm expressions, certain thoughts couldn’t help but stir restlessly.
Cora struggled to control her thoughts, not wanting them to be influenced by him.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, she quickly walked out.
However, Byron followed closely behind, unexpectedly lifting her up from the waist and skillfully
grabbing her hand. He
unlocked the password lock and forcefully took her into the room, where he began to do as he pleased
with her.
“Mr. Hansen, I don’t want this anymore.” Seeing Byron tearing at her clothes, trying to get straight to
the point, Cora
struggled.
But Byron ignored her resistance and continued forcefully pushing her down. “You don’t want it? You
took the initiative at
the beginning.”
“I took the initiative, but didn’t you take advantage of me? Can’t you let me go?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Byron showed her through his actions that letting her go was impossible.
Enter title…
He asked her, “Do you still think I’m useless now?”
He was so fierce in their intimate moments, making Cora feel great discomfort and even causing her to
cry.
“Why are you so annoying? I just don’t want to be with a married man. Why do you want to humiliate
me like this? It’s not
my fault that my family has fallen, and I didn’t provoke you on purpose. Why don’t you let me go?”
The tearing pain in her body caused Cora to collapse, causing her to cry uncontrollably and vent out all
the accumulated
helplessness and resentment she had been harboring in her heart during that period.
Seeing the teary-eyed woman in his arms, Byron couldn’t help but soften his actions.
“I’m not a married man.” Although he felt there was no need to explain, seeing how much Cora cared
about the issue,
Byron explained casually.
“You already have a fiancée. Aren’t you just a married man? Aren’t you being hypocritical?” Cora was
angry and spoke
without thinking.
Byron didn’t take her words seriously in this state. “My father thought she was suitable for me and
wanted me to consider
her as a girlfriend. We don’t have any determined relationship, let alone any engagement ceremony.
What kind of fiancée
is that?”
Cora clearly didn’t believe it. “If she’s not your fiancée, then why do you let others call her that?”
“Their mouths aren’t sewn shut. Can I stop them one by one?”
Seeing that Cora still didn’t believe him, Byron asked, “Weren’t you close with Eason and his family
before? Did you hear
about my engagement from them?”
Cora was stunned. She hadn’t heard about it.
So, it meant that Jane and Harry believed that the supposedly confirmed marriage between Byron and
Jane was actually
just Jane’s wishful thinking.
From beginning to end, their relationship never received recognition from Byron, the Hansen family, or
even the Patton
family.
This discovery made Cora suddenly feel that Jane was also quite pitiful.
Somehow, Byron seemed to see through her thoughts and suddenly sneered, “Do you think she is
pitiful? Have you ever
thought about how much benefits she gained by claiming her relationship with me to the outside
world?”
Cora frowned. “Mr. Hansen, you don’t seem like someone who would make a loss. Why would you let
her gain benefits for
no reason?”
“It wasn’t for no reason that she gained those benefits. My father wanted me to settle down quickly, but
I didn’t want to
enter the grave of marriage so soon. Besides, someone doesn’t accept a married man. Taking her as a
shield isn’t a bad
thing either.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmByron explained it quite clearly. Jane and her family benefited from her status as his fiancée, while
Byron used Jane as a
shield to ward off various arranged blind dates set up by Osborn.
Byron only treated their relationship as a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, but Jane couldn’t
see through it.
However, after listening to all this, Cora didn’t know whether to sympathize with Jane or herself.
Although Jane had not been recognized by Byron or the Hansen family, it was only temporary.
If one day, when Byron decided to settle down, she would smoothly become Byron’s wife.
As for her, Byron might seem exceptionally kind to her, but he probably never had any intention of
marrying her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t refuse to bring her home just because she didn’t accept a married man and
would rather use Jane
as a shield.
But Cora felt it might not be a bad thing for her. She was well aware of the predicament she faced if she
wanted to marry
into the Hansen family.
As long as Byron wasn’t a married man and could temporarily provide her with a spiritual haven, she
felt it would maintain
this kind of relationship was not bad.
Although Cora had such thoughts, she still felt a pang in her heart.
Was her already scarred heart handed over by her again in such conflict and hesitation?
Feeling restless, she needed some solace. So when Byron kissed her again, she didn’t refuse, and she
even actively
clung to his neck, enjoying the moment with him
