Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Bumped Into His Arms

But that was just her imagination. All Cora could do was try to explain.

"Carter, are you going here to have dinner?"

Cora greeted Carter with an awkward smile.

As for Byron...

It was not that she didn't want to say hello to him. She was unsure whether he would admit he knew her in front of so many business partners.

"Well, we'll have dinner with some business partners at Maple Restaurant. How about you?"

Carter glanced at Byron and saw the changes in his gaze. So he asked again, "Would you like to go and have dinner with us together?"

"No, thanks. We'll eat at the next restaurant."

Cora wanted to pull Sally to leave, but Sally bumped her mischievously, wanting to push her into Carter's arms.

No one knew if it was a coincidence. At this moment, Byron stepped forward, trying to cross the gap between Cora and Carter.

So Cora bumped into Byron's arms accidentally. Byron was probably out of politeness or something else, and he stretched out his hand to support her waist.

At that moment, the people around were stunned, and even a breath sound be heard.

Cora was nervous, feeling like her heart was about to jump into her mouth.

It might be because of the memory of Byron's touch on her body. She was greedy for the temperature on his palm. So she didn't break free from his arms but just looked up at him blankly.

Byron was also looking down at her. His deep eyes were only her reflection.

The smell of his frequently-used aftershave and a faint smell of tobacco lingered in her nose. It was something Cora missed the most during this week in Clamville.

For a moment, Cora couldn't help but want to put her arms around his neck and kiss him to express her deep thoughts on him in the most direct ways.

But at this moment, Sally's apology suddenly sounded in her ears.

But her attention was quickly attracted by the various delicacies on the dining table. She only cared about eating and stopped thinking about the brief interlude.

Cora picked a slice of pancake. While eating it, she felt someone stroking her lap under the dining table.

"Mr. Hansen, this project would have been ruined if I hadn't received your support."

"I'm flattered. It's just for mutual benefit."

The soft lighting fell on Byron's face. His appearance was charming, and there was an inherently noble aura on his body. He looked like the young king, reserved, polite, and intelligent.

He talked to others with a gentle smile and calm tone, but under the table, he stroked her lap and teased her.

They had not met each other for a week, let alone had any intimate contact. Under Byron's hot palm, Cora almost couldn't help trembling.

But Byron didn't stop. He kept teasing her. Cora's hands shook and spilled the juice.

The sudden sound made everyone look at her, including Byron.
