Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 His Video Call

In the following days, Cora spent most of her time bustling around the emergency room.

But Sally insisted on taking her to high-end shops in search of the perfect dress to outshine Mia at her engagement party.

Despite Cora's attempts to persuade Sally otherwise, she found herself being dragged along.

Meanwhile, Byron, who was on a business trip, had only managed to make one video call to Cora on the first night.

"Mr. Hansen!"

At that moment, just like every other night before falling asleep, Cora was immersed in despair over her family's misfortunes and unease about living alone.

Byron, wearing a black shirt, appeared elegant and meticulous on the screen. His presence immediately distracted Cora from her sadness and anxiety.

"Are you home?" Byron asked, adjusting his tie and glancing around.

Cora wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Byron's expression had softened. ‘Maybe he’s just tired?’

"Yes, I'm home," Cora replied.

‘Where else would I be so late at night?’

But she didn't dare to say that out loud in front of Byron.

She wondered why he was still dressed so formally at this hour. Could he still be working at his office?

In fact, Byron was in a conference room. He had taken a few minutes during a break in the meeting to make the video call.

Several gossipy executives around him tried to listen in on the conversation.

After confirming that Cora was in her apartment, Byron visibly relaxed. "That's good."

Cora didn't know how to respond. She could only look down, hoping to end the unsettling video call as soon as possible.
