Chapter 188 A Heart Gesture

At the woodcarving competition awards ceremony on the afternoon of Christmas, as soon as Coraarrived, Arnold took her to introduce her to his old friends.

When Jane arrived, Arnold also called her over.

"This is Jane, my granddaughter,” he said.

This introduction surprised many of Arnold's old friends. "Is this your granddaughter? I thought thisyoung girl, Cora, was your granddaughter! Her gaze and enthusiasm are reminiscent of your wife'syouthful days."

Hearing this, Arnold was also taken aback.

Upon careful recollection, he realized that he felt a sense of familiarity with Cora due to her gazeand enthusiasm.

However, with Jane, his granddaughter, right beside him, he couldn't agree with their words.

"It's just a coincidence. My granddaughter is Jane. Cora is my talented apprentice, and of course,Jane is also exceptional,” he replied after a brief moment of hesitation.

After the idle chatter, the award ceremony was about to begin.

"I never expected that young man from the Hansen family would be willing to be the awardpresenter tonight.”

"Yeah, when we approached them earlier, there was no response. I thought his assistant wouldcome and didn't expect him to show up in person.”

"You old folks are out of touch. Jane is competing today, so it's only natural that Byron would comeover."

"Oh my. That's true! I forgot that these two are a couple.”

Several old men discussed openly in front of Arnold, Jane, and Cora.

Arnold was somewhat proud. After all, replaceing another young man as outstanding as Byron in NewYork was not easy.

"Let's invite Byron to our home when we go back later," he said to Jane.

Because the award ceremony was held in the afternoon, it wouldn't take too long.

Arnold planned to bring Byron to their home and cultivate a sense of belonging to the Yoris family.However, Arnold was unaware that his suggestion created considerable pressure on Jane.

If she didn't know about the relationship between Cora and Byron, she might have assumed thatByron attended the awards ceremony for her sake. But now...

But now...

She stole a glance at Cora and couldn't shake off the feeling that Byron was here for Cora, not forher.

So, she didn't have much confidence that Byron would accept the invitation to the Yoris Mansion.In contrast, Cora didn't feel much pressure. She was merely surprised to see Byron become theaward presenter.

"No wonder he asked so many questions before, and let me treat him if I win,” she thought.Putting these together, Cora was certain that he had become the award presenter because of her,which made her heart flutter with joy.

Just then, Byron and several other influential figures in New York entered the exhibition center.

He seemed to radiate natural charm. Even without deliberately dressing up, he became the center ofattention as soon as he appeared.

Cora quickly spotted him and couldn't help but smile radiantly at him.

It was like Byron could read her mind, for he suddenly turned his head and smiled at her, drivingcountless women crazy.

While Cora’s heart fluttered at his smile, Jane also felt her mind go blank as she looked at him, as ifthe world had frozen and disappeared at that moment, leaving only her and Byron.

Then, she was more certain that no one else in the world could catch her eye. She had to have thisman.

"Jane, Byron is greeting you. Why aren't you responding?" Arnold urged as he saw Jane staring atByron in a daze.

Jane glanced at Cora and realized that Byron's gaze was actually fixed on her. His greeting wasmeant for Cora.

But she still said, "Byron is busy now. Let's call him to our home after the event ends.”

She wanted to remind Cora that the connection between Byron and the Yoris family couldn't beeasily cut off. However, as she stole a glance at Cora, Cora was secretly making a heart gesture toByron.
