Chapter 196 She Likes Him
1/5
Seeing Cora leaving, Tyler quickly chased after her, calling her
name, “Cora!”
Although he was aware of her relationship with Byron, he couldn’t bear to let her go.
He had been secretly in love with her for so many years, so he
saw no reason to give up on her.
He had his agenda when inviting her to his house for
Christmas Eve dinner. He had wanted to entice her with the
warmth of a family, which she craved.
However, his plan was disrupted by his mother.
When Cora and Tyler walked out of the Cooper Villa one after
the other, they saw Byron stepping out of his car, which was
worth three million dollars.
At that moment, Tyler suddenly understood why Cora was so
anxious to leave.
“Cora, you shouldn’t be with him,” he said.
He quickly grabbed Cora, anger seeping into his voice as he

spoke to her.

Up until that day, he had purposely avoided seeing Cora in an
attempt to forget everything about her and Byron.
He was driving himself into a corner, convincing himself that
those feelings wouldn’t exist if he didn’t remember.
However, Cora forcefully brought him back to reality.
“There will be no future between you and him. The Hansen family will not accept you, especially
considering your previous engagement to Eason,” he said.
No wealthy family would want a woman’s presence to sow discord between their family members,
which would, in turn, provide fodder for gossip.
Moreover, Byron was adored by the Hansen family, and they
wouldn’t accept their son being with someone who had a
previous relationship.
“I know there may not be a future between Byron and me, but
I… really like him,” Cora admitted.
Her gaze was fixed on the man who had just gotten out of the
car.
While standing in the cold wind on Christmas Eve, Byron, with

his stoic and aloof demeanor, still made her heart flutter.
“I don’t know when I fell in love with him, but I truly want
to be by his side, even if only for a while. I want to love him genuinely,” she confessed.

She couldn’t resist his fatal temptation. It was as if they were standing on a cliff, and she would gladly
take a leap of faith
off of it.
That was the first time she had opened up to someone about her feelings for Byron, both as a way to
pour her heart out and also to indirectly reject Tyler’s affection so that he would stop chasing after her.
There was still some distance between Byron and her, so she
was certain he wouldn’t have heard her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be staring at her with such an
exasperated look on his face, still furious that she had gone to Tyler instead of him.
“But why him? I have everything he has, and I can even offer you better things,” Tyler asked.
In the end, he voiced his doubts in desperation. He had been by her side for so many years and had
dedicated all his love to her, so he didn’t understand how he could not compare to another man who
Cora had only met a few months ago and
Chapter 196 She Likes Him
would bring her nothing but trouble.

“I’ve asked myself the same question too, but I don’t have an answer. Maybe this is just my fate…”
Cora replied.
Although there were plenty of fish in the sea, she couldn’t
resist Byron’s allure and had fallen into the abyss of love, doomed for eternity.
Hearing that, Tyler sighed helplessly, “Cora, you will regret it
one day.”
“Yeah, I know I will regret it, but I can’t help myself.”
Cora looked back at Tyler and said, “Tyler, I’m leaving.”
It was as if she was bidding farewell to him and letting him
know that she would be walking out of his life.
Tyler didn’t respond, for he still couldn’t let go of her.
Nevertheless, Cora departed, greeting Byron with a smile as
she got into his car and left with him.
Tyler stood there, fixated on the car, until it disappeared at the end of the road, staring into the distance
unblinkingly even after that.
He didn’t know how long he stood there that day. When
