Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Self Respect

Cora had already told Byron before that after they broke up, they should pretend that they didn't know each other.

So when he approached her, she calmly walked past him, intending to avoid any interaction.

However, Byron seemed to be deliberately annoying her, blocking her path directly.

"New boyfriend?"

His voice was colder than the wind scraping against her face.

Only then did Cora look up at him.

Then, she saw mockery and indifference written all over his face.

After Cora came back to her senses, she realized that Byron had misunderstood her relationship with Lucas.

It didn't matter if others misunderstood her, but Byron just couldn't.

Before getting together with Byron, she had never devoted herself to any other man.

If it weren't for his impending engagement, she would have wanted to continue to be with him without asking for a commitment.

Yet, he misunderstood her intentions, which made Cora feel insulted.

"Yes, he's not bad-looking, and his figure is on par with yours, Mr. Hansen," Cora responded sarcastically.

It wasn't clear whether Byron grasped the underlying meaning, but he coldly reminded her, "A girl should have self-respect."

"I don't have self-respect, and I'm sure you knew that long ago," Cora smirked provocatively.

She was referring to their first time sleeping together, which also happened after leaving the bar.

That was what Byron cared about most, not wanting anyone to witness her vulnerable and endearing side in that situation.

Some emotions almost broke free from their restraints, and Byron was tempted to pull her back into his embrace.

Without waiting for Cora's response, he continued, "Sally mentioned that you excel in cardiac surgery and are planning to specialize in that field. My father recently had a stent implanted..."

Cora immediately understood.

When a family member underwent a cardiac procedure, his family often felt anxious and had many questions. Thus, many patients' families would consult her about related issues.

So, even before Lucas finished speaking, Cora took out her phone and added his number to her contact list.

"Feel free to ask me any questions, Mr. Quinn. I'll share what I know. However, I might be busy at work sometimes and may not reply promptly."

"Thank you, Dr. Lane."

They soon arrived at the subway station, and after bidding each other farewell, Cora got out of the car and joined the rush of people entering the station.

Little did she know that Lucas didn't leave immediately. He waited until her figure disappeared into the crowd before picking up his phone and looking at the newly added number. A slight smirk appeared on his lips.

In fact, he didn't have a father.
