Chapter 146 She Likes Him

Seeing Cora leave, Tyler quickly chased after her, calling her name “Cora!” Although he was aware of her relationship with Byron, he couldn’t bear to let her go. He had been secretly in love with her for so many years, so he saw no reason to give up on her. He had his agenda when inviting her to his house for Christmas Eve dinner. He had wanted to entice her with the warmth of a family, which she craved. However, his plan was disrupted by his mother. When Cora and Tyler walked out of the Cooper Villa one after the other, they saw Byron stepping out of his car, which was worth three million dollars. At that moment, Tyler suddenly understood why Cora was so anxious to leave. “Cora, you shouldn’t be with him,” he said. He quickly grabbed Cora, anger seeping into his voice as he spoke to her. Up until that day, he had purposely avoided seeing Cora in an attempt to forget everything about her and Byron. He was driving himself into a corner, convincing himself that those feelings wouldn’t exist if he didn’t remember. However, Cora forcefully brought him back to reality. “There will be no future between you and him. The Hansen family will not accept you, especially considering your previous engagement to Eason,” he said. No wealthy family would want a woman’s presence to sow discord between their family members, which would, in turn, provide fodder for gossip. Moreover, Byron was adored by the Hansen family, and they wouldn’t accept their son being with someone who had a previous relationship. “I know there may not be a future between Byron and me, but I really like him,” Cora admitted. Her gaze was fixed on the man, who had just gotten out of the car. While standing in the cold wind on Christmas Eve, Byron, with his stoic and aloof demeanor, still made her heart flutter. “I don’t know when I fell in love with him, but I truly want to be by his side, even if only for a while. I want to love him genuinely,” she confessed. She couldn’t resist his fatal temptation. It was as if they were standing on a cliff, and she would gladly take a leap of faith off of it.
