Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Best Gift

"I didn't buy these. Can you return them for me?" Cora was not comfortable with receiving free gifts, not to mention how expensive these shoes were.

The shopping assistant appeared embarrassed as she replied, "Miss Lane, some of these limited editions were sourced from nearby stores, and it took us considerable effort to gather them. If you don't wish to keep them, could you please consult with Mr. Pope first?"

Cora could sympathize with the shopping assistant and didn't want to make things difficult for her. Reluctantly, she signed for the shoes and sent Byron a photo of them.

[Mr. Hansen, are these part of my service fee for that night?]

To Cora's surprise, Byron immediately started a video call after the message was sent.

Cora hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to pick it up.

Byron's face showed up clearly on the screen, a sight she never tired of. The lighting was dim, and he held a glass of wine, likely at a social gathering.

Byron's expression seemed more relaxed than usual, maybe under the effect of the wine.

His cold and sharp features softened slightly, giving him a somewhat lazy allure.

Cora avoided her gaze as memories of their intimate moments flooded her mind.

"I don't care what you think about the shoes, but I've already gifted them, they're yours," Byron said, his tone carrying an underlying authority that compelled obedience.

Cora attempted to interject, but Byron swiftly added, "I'm not yet free tonight. I'll see you tomorrow."

Cora felt perplexed as she raised her gaze, only to be met with a smile in Byron's eyes.

She wanted to ask him why he had been seeking her out and gifting her those shoes.
