The whole process of the proposal was actually quite lively.
Cora, while eating the food Byron had ordered for her, secretly observed the entire proposal and unexpectedly met Jane’s gaze filled with deep affection and sorrow.
“Your old flame still can’t let go of you. She accepted someone else’s proposal, yet shamelessly gave you that look.” Cora glanced at Byron with a forced smile.
He smirked and replied, “Yeah, but she’s not as good as you. We’re already married, yet you even received caring messages from your lover last night.”
Speaking of last night, Cora instantly felt guilty and embarrassed.
Tyler went abroad for further studies after learning about Byron and Cora getting married.
Yesterday, he returned home on vacation, and somehow someone informed him about Cora fracturing her ribs at Nora’s birthday party. Concerned, he immediately called her late at night.
Unfortunately, Cora and Byron had just finished a round of ultimate pleasure and were enjoying the aftertaste.

Thus, Byron overheard Tyler’s urgent and worried tone during the phone call.
Although Byron didn’t get involved in the conversation, after the call ended, he became even more relentless in his actions, leaving Cora exhausted and limp.
Cora had thought that this matter would come to an end after their passionate encounter.
However, to her surprise, Byron brought it up again at this moment, making her feel a bit guilty..
Seeing Byron’s cold face, she approached and sat beside him, hugging his arm. “In that case, we’re even,” she said.
Byron remained icy and asked, “Even in what sense?”
Cora exaggeratedly sighed, “Ah, our charm is evenly irresistible!”
Byron was amused and pinched her cheek. “Alright, eat your food! Afterward, hurry back home and let me experience that irresistible charm of yours!”
Cora instantly understood his intentions.
And everyone still thought Byron was so aloof and restrained. Huh! It was just an illusion!
As they playfully ignored everyone else, Jane watched from a distance, her fingertips deeply embedded in her palm.

She didn’t believe that Byron truly didn’t care about her. After all, she had been by his side for so many years, something no other socialite had experienced.
There were more beautiful and sophisticated socialites in New York than her.
If it weren’t for her special place in Byron’s heart, she wouldn’t have had a chance to get close to him.
So Byron must care about her. He just didn’t dare to show it.
While Jane comforted herself, Harry, who was holding her, also noticed her gaze fixed on a certain spot.
Following Jane’s gaze, he saw the two people dining in the distance.
After a brief moment of surprise, he casually suggested to Jane, “Jane, Byron and Cora are here having dinner. Let’s go say
hello.”
In fact, he knew that Jane couldn’t let go of Byron, so he wanted to indirectly put an end to her feelings for him.
However, Jane desperately wanted a chance to observe Byron up close and find evidence of his regret.
Upon hearing his suggestion, she immediately agreed. “Sure, let’s go say hello. It would be impolite not to greet familiar faces.”

They approached Byron’s table together.
“Byron, having dinner with Mrs. Hansen?” Harry addressed Cora as “Mrs. Hansen,” surprising yet seeming reasonable.
Jane found his words piercing, and her teeth almost broke through her lip.
But still, she continued to stare at Byron, hoping to catch a glimpse of the signs she was looking for.
