Snatched A Billionaire To Be My Husband by Shabi's pen

Chapter 204 Unwilling

1/4

Cora and Byron locked eyes, and for a moment, the tears that had been welling up uncontrollably

threatened to fall.

But in the end, she closed her eyes. And when she looked back at him, it seemed as though she had

cleaned up all her tears and mixed feelings inside.

Once again, she smiled charmingly at Byron.

Her smile gradually filled her dimples, which fascinated Byron

with their sweetness.

“There’s no need to apologize. We both knew what we were getting into, remember?”

In fact, he had made it clear from the beginning that he only wanted to sleep with her without any

commitment.

However, Cora couldn’t help but fall for him, which led them to

this dilemma.

Seeing her expressions changing constantly, Byron felt panicked and didn’t know what to say.

But before he could respond, she continued, “However,

breaking up comes at a high cost. Have you really thought it through?”

Cora had to face the truth even if she didn’t want to, and she

understood that despite the despair, life had to go on.

Instead of being stubborn and giving up everything, she thought it would be better to ask for something

when they parted ways. At least it would make her future days a little easier, free from being bullied,

and could serve as a memory of their time together.

Byron hadn’t expected Cora to bring up the break-up fee so quickly. While he did intend to give it to her,

her direct request made him feel that her previous display of heartbreak and despair over his

engagement may have been an act.

To put it bluntly, her fondness and even admiration for him were based solely on his financial

capabilities.

This made him feel quite unfair, just like back then…

But he didn’t refuse her request outright. He suppressed his sorrowful feelings and, with an

expressionless look, asked, “How much do you want?”

“I want my brother to be released as soon as possible,” Cora answered promptly. It seemed that she

had already made up her mind beforehand.

“That can be arranged. He would be released within this

month. I’ll have someone check on him and expedite the process,” Byron assured her.

“Good.” Cora tightened and then loosened her grip on her skirt, finally saying, “You may leave now.”

With those words, she turned and walked toward her room.

But soon, Byron suddenly grabbed her hand.

His unexpected move made Cora feel a surge of anticipation.

But she couldn’t help but tease him with a sly smile, “Mr. Hansen, are you finding it hard to let me go?”

Byron didn’t respond to her playful remark. Instead, he took. out a tube of ointment from his pocket and

squeezed some

onto the back of her hand.

As the cold ointment landed on her hand, Cora suddenly realized that there were a few blisters on the

back of her hand, probably from the burn in his office.

Perhaps she hadn’t felt the pain much before because she had been overwhelmed with sadness.

Now, whether it was due to the soothing effect of the ointment

or the fact that Byron personally applied it, making her feel cared for and cherished, she suddenly felt

the pain intensify

as if it multiplied countless times in an instant. It was so

intense that it threatened to bring forth the tears she had struggled to hold back.

In haste, she pulled her hand back and forced a smile. “Take your clothes when you leave. Let’s

pretend we never know each other when we meet again. Otherwise, with my horrible temper, I might do

something insane.”

After leaving these harsh words, she went to the bedroom without looking back.

She appeared composed, but as she turned around, tears streamed down her face…
