Chapter 157 Will You Give The Wedding Money?

• After Cora and Lucas pretended to be in a relationship, their lives went much smoother. But Cora received Luc’s message one day: [Dr. Lane, my dad seemed suspicious and asked me why I haven’t gone out on a date recently.] [Oh, yeah? [Do you need my help?] Cora had adapted to the way the two got along. [Yeah. [Let's have dinner and watch a movie in the evening, then post photos on Instagram.] [Okay. [Send me the time and place later.] Cora was still working at the hospital. She replied to Lucas while waiting for the elevator. Unexpectedly, she saw that familiar figure making her heart throb as soon as the elevator door opened and as soon as she put the phone in her pocket. It was Byron. She hadn’t seen him for nearly two months. He was still tall and charming, as always. Cora didn’t know if it was her illusion, but he seemed to be obviously thinner. His already chiseled facial features seemed to become sharper. Cora was about to fall for his charming eyes when she heard Byron greet her indifferently, “Hello. It’s been a while.”
• The simple words once again pulled at her heartstrings, which had been silent for a long time. Cora had been trying to overcome her sleep disturbances and forget about the nights they had spent together. After persisting for some time, she felt she seldom took the initiative to think of Byron. However, those efforts seemed to have become a joke when he said it had been a while. Those memories seemed to revive instantly, and the bitterness in Cora’s heart began to grow crazily. But as his calm greeting turned over in her mind, she was somewhat worthless to herself. She still couldn’t forget those sweet pasts, while he seemed to have buried all of them without a trace. When Cora was spaced out, Byron suddenly spoke, “What’s wrong?” Only then did Cora regain consciousness and realize she had almost missed the elevator. Byron pressed the button to keep the elevator door from closing.
• “Nothing.” Cora pretended to be calm and got on the elevator, keeping her eyes focused on the elevator display screen. She didn’t want to look at him for fear of falling for him again. Unexpectedly, Byron took the initiative to talk to her. “How are you doing recently?” He asked. The question sounded ironic to Cora. “Very good. The blind date worked out, and I probably will get married by the end of the year,” she said in a flaunting tone, not wanting to lose his calm attitude. Even though the success of the blind date and her getting married were not true, she showed a confident aura to make everything look real. She didn’t know if it was because of her overly passionate tone, but Byron was finally no longer as calm as before. “You’re going to marry him without even getting to know him?” Byron frowned at her. Cora said, “Mr. Hansen, How do you know I didn’t get to know him thoroughly?” She was voluptuous and had a foxy smile. So the word “thoroughly” seemed a little s**ually suggestive.
