Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 His Arrival

Cora lay on the bed for a long time, conjuring up images of her father's funeral, her mother lying in the intensive care unit with burns, and her brother's arrest.

That scene suffocated her feel almost out of breath. Finally, her mind was completely exhausted from thinking about things. She was drifting off when she felt someone lift her quilt and touch her waist from behind.

She woke up immediately and quickly turned over to avoid the person behind her.

"Who is it?" As Cora stepped back, she grabbed her phone, intending to call the police.

But at this moment, the black figure grabbed her ankle and pulled her into his arms.

Cora tried to fight back, but the man seemed to know her tricks. He was unharmed and even held her ankle firmly.

Unable to break free, Cora bit the man's shoulder.

At this time, a familiar male voice reached her ear.

"It's me."

Cora froze.

She naturally recognized the male voice as cold and stern as a rock. It was Byron.

She hurriedly let go and turned on the bedside lamp.

Byron's chiseled and charming facial features became clear as the warm yellow light illuminated the room.

He wore black shirt and trousers, looking at her with a half-smile.

Cora didn't know if it was because of the light, but there was a little more tenderness in those deep and unpredictable eyes than usual.

"Are you that timid?" He asked.

"Things like women living alone are murdered happen from time to time, so it's always right to take precautions."

She used to live either at home or in a school dormitory and never lived alone.

She still remembered she almost stayed up all night the first day she moved into the LO apartment.

Even now, if she heard something, she would wake up immediately.

Only during the few nights that Byron was here could she sleep peacefully until dawn.

This might also be the main reason why she compromised several times to let Byron stay overnight and wanted to try to develop a romantic relationship with Byron, as Sally suggested.

Cora truly hoped that she could have someone to accompany her, even without the purpose of uniting in matrimony.
