Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband
Chapter 459

Chapter 459 Rumor

After leaving Nora's ward, Cora returned to the apartment where she and Byron used to livetogether.

The space of their apartment was small, but it held great significance for Cora.

On a late autumn night, she stood downstairs, contemplating for a long time before gathering thecourage to enter the room once again.

But as she switched on the lights and familiar sights flooded her vision, reminding her of every littlemoment she spent with Byron, it felt like a boom was exploding in her mind

Grief quickly multiplied and spread like a flood.

At that moment, everything seemed to drain Cora of all her strength, causing her to slide to thefloor, unable to speak through her tears...

It had been four years.

And she still missed him so much

How she wished she could turn back time.

She would rather trade her life to have him back.

Cora recalled someone saying that one can escape the nights of revelry but not the empty streets.It turned out that this moment was the most difficult to endure.

Without having to worry about Martin anymore, without considering the gaze of others, she felt asthough she was drowning in the sea of past sorrows, unable to free herself.

Cora didn't know how long she had cried helplessly, but when she heard her phone ring, it wasalready in the early hours of the morning.

It was a video call from Gabe.

Cora felt that she looked like a mess with her current tear-stained appearance and thought ofwaiting until she was in a slightly better state before calling Gabe back.

But Gabe persisted, calling over and over again.

In the end, Cora had to answer the video call.

As soon as the call connected, Gabe's anxious face appeared on the screen, saying, "Cora, are youokay?"

He was afraid that Cora's return to her old house would bring back unpleasant memories, so he sentmessages and made calls, hoping she would come to stay with him.

If not, staying in a hotel would also be fine.

But Cora's phone had been unreachable, and he even worried that she might have done somethingfoolish, so he decided to drive over to replace her.

Fortunately, Cora answered the video call.

But just by looking at her, it was clear that she had been crying all night.

Her eyes were so swollen they were barely open.

But even so, Cora made an effort and forced a smile, saying, "I'm fine. Gabe, don't worry about me.""Who else should I worry about if not you? I'll come pick you up. Come stay at my place tonight.”"Gabe, I don't want to be a third wheel."

"Your sister-in-law won't mind. She's also really worried about you and keeps urging me to call andcheck on you.”

"But I still can't go.”

Seeing that Gabe wanted to say something else, she added, "Gabe, it's been a long time since I'vereturned to this home. Tonight, I don't want to go anywhere or be disturbed by anyone.”

Gabe knew full well that she wanted to be alone in that room, cherishing the memories of someone.So, in the end, he couldn't bear to go against her wishes. "Then tomorrow morning, I'll bring youbreakfast.

"Also, I'll randomly call you to check on you, safe or not. If you don't answer, I'll come replace youdirectly.”

Gabe reluctantly compromised but gave two more requests because he was afraid she might dosomething foolish.

"Okay, I got it."

Cora agreed and was about to end the video call when Gabe suddenly spoke up, "Cora, if you'refree tomorrow night, can you accompany me to an evening event?”

"Wouldn't it be better to ask my sister-in-law?"

"You know how she is. She stutters as soon as she appears on such occasions. If I want her help toclose a business deal, it's simply impossible.”

Gabe's fiancée came from an ordinary family, unlike Cora, who grew up in a wealthy and influentialhousehold. Since childhood, Cora had accompanied her father to various banquets and was alwayspoised and confident when conversing with anyone.

One reason Gabe wanted Cora's help was to negotiate a business deal.

The other reason was that he learned that at the Hansen Group's dinner event, Osborn was going tohand over the company to his successor formally.

Combining what he had heard accidentally in the business circle before, Gabe speculated that thesuccessor who would be present tomorrow night was very likely the person who had caused Cora somuch heartbreak...
