Chapter 1006
Chapter 1006 Finale
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Cora and Byron's daughter's birthday party.
Byron went all out to host a grand event, inviting not only the partners of Hansen Group and Sunda Group but also the employees of both conglomerates.
At the banquet, the little princess was dressed in a charming red dress with a big red butterfly bow on her head.
Cora had fully recovered her pre-pregnancy state, her figure as alluring as ever, and her complexion radiant with a healthy rosy glow.
The guests couldn't help but praise Cora's remarkable condition, and Georgia even exclaimed, "You look amazing, Cora! Byron is such a lucky guy!"
But then, both Cora and Byron hit her head.
Fortunately, Efren arrived in time and held her in his arms, teasing, "Alright, alright! She's already a bit dumb. If you two make her a fool, I'll never let you go!"
Hearing his words, Cora and Byron stopped hitting Georgia. However, Georgia was annoyed. "Dumb? When did I become dumb?"
"If you're not dumb, how could you not know why I called you dumb?"
Efren's complicated words made Georgia annoyed, and she chased after him in rage.
Amidst the lively atmosphere of the banquet, Martin presented a beautifully adorned little box to Cora, saying,
"Mom, a man sent this to you and little sister.”
Cora immediately became alerted.
"What man? Why did you accept a stranger's gift? What if he intended to hurt you?"
Martin frowned, just about to say something.
Byron quickly intervened, taking the box from him, reassuringly stating, "Leave it to me to handle. Everything will be fine."
Byron didn't forget to remind Martin, "This will be the last time. From now on, you must not accept gifts for others, even if you know them. You're still young and may not discern others’ intentions.” Understanding the gravity of the situation, Martin nodded and then went to play elsewhere.
As Byron left with the box, Cora couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with that box? Shouldn't we just throw it away?"
Byron comforted her, "I'll check it and handle it properly.”
He opened the box after returning to their hotel room.
He needed to make sure this box was safe because he recalled that during their wedding, a similar box was found under a big tree.
There was also a label on the outside of the box, which reads: [To Dr. Lane.]
Back then, the box contained a crystal comb.
In ancient times, the comb was a symbol of deep affection.
Byron had discarded it because he knew his wife needed no affectionate tokens from anyone else. To his surprise, the same person was now trying to meddle with their daughter's celebration.
So, Byron wanted to see what the gift he had sent this time.
As soon as the box was opened, Byron saw a beautiful pendant lying inside.
In addition, there was a note inside, which read: [I wish the baby all the best.]
Byron knew who sent this pendant.
It turned out that he wasn't dead.
Byron couldn't help but wonder whether this person wanted to prove he was still alive or had some ulterior motive.
Either way, Byron didn't want Cora to know about it.
Then, Byron directly threw the pendant into the lake next to the hotel.
After the lively and bustling celebration ended, the baby was taken by the nanny to rest in another room.
Cora finished freshening up and prepared to go to bed. Seeing that Byron had also finished, she couldn't resist asking about the box again.
In response, Byron gently held her in his arms, saying, "My love, we still have a wonderful night to spend. Let's not dwell on trivial matters.”
Cora looked into his desirous eyes, feeling her cheeks blush and her heart race.
She knew that since she got pregnant, Byron had never slept with her until today.
At times, she even worried that he might not love her anymore or found other ways to relieve his desires.
But a recent conversation revealed that Byron had learned from a doctor that he should wait longer to ensure that he wouldn't hurt Cora.
Additionally, Byron had secretly undergone sterilization, believing that their life as a family of four was perfect as it was.
Learning about all that Byron had done touched Cora deeply, and tonight, there was no way she could refuse him
As Byron leaned in for a kiss, Cora willingly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Soon, he carried Cora in his arms...
