Chapter 414 The Family’s Favourite
The next morning, Cora didn’t display any symptoms and her complexion seemed normal, so Byron didn’t insist on taking her to the hospital.
However, he couldn’t help but notice that since that day, Cora seemed less affectionate towards him than before.
Even when they were most intimate, he could sense a subtle hesitation from her.
Time passed quickly. One day, Nora called Byron early in the
morning.
“Byron, bring Cora home for dinner. Your sister and brothers are bringing their families today, so it’s a good opportunity to introduce Cora to them.”
Byron had initially not wanted to bring Cora along.
But when he saw Cora just staring at herself in the mirror without doing anything after waking up early in the morning…
He changed his mind and said, “Okay, I’ll take her back later.”
Cora had something on her mind, but no matter how much he asked, she refused to talk about it.
Even as a married couple, they still needed their own space, and

Byron understood that.
He didn’t press further, but he couldn’t allow Cora to continue feeling down like this. So he brought her back to the Hansen
Mansion.
Today, almost all members of the Hansen family had gathered.
Even Lydia’s family were all here.
“Mom, Eason bought this tonic for you. They say it has better nutritional value than regular ones…”
Lydia smiled flatteringly with wrinkles covering her face, boasting about the supplements she had brought.
“Thank you.” Nora then smiled at Mia and said, “You must be close to delivering, right?”
“It has been 36 weeks. The doctor said I might give birth a week later,” Mia hurriedly replied.
“The last few weeks are the toughest. You can’t eat or sleep well. Eason, make sure to take good care of Mia.”
Being experienced parents themselves, Nora knew that Mia was currently feeling uncomfortable due to her pregnancy, so she couldn’t help but nag.
Eason smiled and replied, “Grandma, don’t worry. I will take care of her.”

But in his mind, he thought to himself, “She eats more than a pig, snores louder than thunder, and lives a more comfortable life than anyone else. If she still feels uncomfortable, then no one in the world can feel content.”
“After Mia gives birth, you two should get married as soon as possible. Don’t let the child become a laughingstock,” Nora said.
Mia’s eyes flickered with emotions when she heard Nora’s words and was about to say something.
But Eason quickly interjected, “Grandma, we’ll handle our own affairs. You don’t need to worry.”
He could tell that Mia wanted to reveal to Nora that he had been delaying their wedding
But he just didn’t want to marry her.
People throughout New York would laugh at him for marrying a pig.
If he really married Mia, the others would never stop laughing at him
That was why Eason had been indifferent to Mia every day, hoping she could no longer handle him and leave him after giving birth.
Of course, Mia was perfectly aware of Eason’s motives and wanted to expose him immediately.

However, Eason firmly gripped her hand, almost wanting to crush it, making it clear that he was threatening her. If she dared to say anything to Nora, he wouldn’t hesitate to be ruthless.
The more Mia watched Eason treat her like this, the more she refused to let it go.
As the two faced off, their attention was suddenly drawn to the commotion at the entrance.
Byron had returned with Cora.
Due to Byron’s high status within the Hansen family, nearly everyone went up to greet him.
Nora, who had been happily chatting with them just now, had already made her way to Cora.
“Cora, I found a rare music score. How about we practice together? We can even perform a duet at the banquet.”
Even Osborn, who had been playing chess in the game room with them just now, came out on his cane.
“Cora, ignore her. Look at what I’ve found for you.”
Osborn happily greeted Cora as well.
Amongst the Hansen family members, Cora, wearing a pink and white knitted dress, looked like a freshly bloomed water lily, exuding breathtaking beauty…

Eason’s gaze turned infatuated, dumbfounded even.
But when his eyes drifted to Byron’s hand resting on Cora’s waist, he suddenly felt extraordinarily annoyed.
If he could insist on being together with Cora instead of dumping her, she would be standing by his side by now…
