Chapter 236 He Won’t Come
Byron stared coldly at Cora as if she had committed some
unforgivable act.
Cora was puzzled, as all she did was lean on her current
boyfriend’s shoulder and take a nap. She didn’t do anything inappropriate.
Even if she had done something with her current boyfriend,
it had nothing to do with Byron, who wasn’t even her ex-boyfriend. Why did he look at her with a sullen face?
Ignoring Byron’s attitude, Cora sweetly smiled at Lucas and said, “Let’s get off the bus. Call me when you’re done with
work, and we can have dinner together tonight.”
“Okay, I’ll call you when I’m done.”
Lucas felt a little excited, as it was the first time since they started dating that Cora had actively asked him out.
Although he suspected it might be an intentional display of affection, he couldn’t resist the temptation and felt secretly
pleased.
Later, they got off the bus with hands held and smiles.

During the process, Carter decisively looked out the window, not daring to look at Byron’s face.
After returning from the company team-building event with
Lucas, Cora went back to work as usual.
Byron didn’t bother her anymore, but he sent her a new friend
request every day.
Cora ignored him, and so did she today. Earlier this morning,
she had run into him and the other members of the Hansen
family at the hospital, where they were bringing Osborn for a
routine checkup. After a brief exchange of glances, they both
avoided each other.
Mark was surprised to see them acting like strangers, his gaze flickering between them.
As Cora finished instructing the family members of the patients and left the lobby, Mark couldn’t help but tease, “Is it really over?”
“She’s with someone else now,” Byron replied indifferently, yet he recalled Cora wearing the freshwater pearl anklet just
now.
She was undoubtedly the most suitable woman he had seen to wear an anklet. Her slender ankles looked even more
Chapter 236 He Won’t Come
delicate with the anklet’s adornment.
“Tsk, what a pity! I thought you two would last,” Mark sighed
and then went to help push Osborn’s wheelchair.
Despite having denied any connection, Byron sent Cora a
friend request with a saucy message: [The freshwater pearl anklet suits you too.]
Cora returned to her office to get some water and saw the
teasing on the friend request. Thinking for a moment, she
rejected the request with a message attached: [Thank you for the compliment, but this is a gift from my boyfriend.]
Indeed, the anklet was a small gift from Lucas on their
one-month anniversary. Since they had planned to have
dinner together tonight, Cora decided to wear it.
She didn’t expect the man who had acted like a stranger just now to notice the anklet. To be honest, her reply was with the intention of discomforting him.
Soon she received another friend request: [I’ll find a more beautiful one for you.]
Cora rolled her eyes.
It seemed that her attempt to provoke him had failed!

At this moment, news came from the emergency room that there was a sudden mass poisoning.
Cora put aside her phone and hurriedly rushed to the
emergency room.
After dealing with the emergency, it was almost time for her dinner appointment with Lucas. She quickly tidied up things and headed to the agreed-upon location.
When Cora arrived at the restaurant, she was already more than ten minutes late.
She had planned to explain that she was delayed due to a batch of patients coming in with mass poisoning at the hospital. However, the restaurant waiter informed her that Lucas hadn’t arrived yet.
“It’s okay. I’ll wait for him at the table,” Cora said.
In fact, she was usually the one who arrived late for their dates, but Lucas would always wait for her patiently.
It was understandable for him to be late once in a while.
However, Cora didn’t expect to wait more than an hour and still not see Lucas.
She called him several times and sent messages, but he didn’t
Chapter 236 He Won’t Come
respond.
Just as Cora was worried that something might have happened to Lucas and was about to go find him, Byron suddenly walked into the restaurant.
He was wearing a royal blue shirt with black trousers, the diamond on his cuffs reflecting the bright light, so luxurious that the waiters in the restaurant rushed up to greet him.
But he brushed them aside and walked straight toward Cora.
“What are you doing here?” Cora was a bit stunned. This restaurant was not the kind of place Byron would frequent.
In response to her cautious expression, Byron just said coldly, “He won’t come.”

“How do you know he won’t come?” Cora felt her heart s ip a
beat.
However, Byron’s face remained calm, and his inscrutable.
black eyes didn’t offer the answers she sought. She could only
question him, “Did you do something to him?”
This man did have the power to manipulate situations in New
York, and Cora was genuinely afraid that he might have done
something unforgivable to Lucas.
As she asked, his face turned sullen instantly. “I didn’t. I just
wanted to tell you that Lucas isn’t as good as you think. He’s
with another woman now, leaving you behind.”
But his frank explanation only fueled Cora’s conviction, and
she shouted, “Impossible! You must have done something to
him!”
“In your eyes, am I such a person?” Byron’s voice was chilling,
sending shivers down her spine.
“Yes, you are! You keep harassing me, not because you like
