Chapter 828 His Proposal!
Meanwhile, Cora was currently backstage, helping Byron fix his
tie.
Cora said helplessly, “How old are you? Can’t you fix your tie yourself that you have to make me come over?”
Today, both the Hansen family and the Yoris family were present.
Even her elder brother, Gabe, and his wife’s family were also invited.
Cora hadn’t seen Gabe for a while, and she hadn’t even had a good chat with him when Byron said he would give a speech on the stage later and insisted on asking her to come over to help with dressing.
Byron pouted. “You always help Martin to wear his clothes before
he goes to kindergarten, so why can’t you do it for me, too?
Do you dislike me now just because someone gave you a scar
cream?”
Cora immediately understood that this person was still angry because of that scar cream.
“The scar cream didn’t even offend you! Besides, the situation.
would be very awkward if I didn’t accept that scar scream!”
Then Cora couldn’t help pinching Byron’s waist. “Don’t act like a three-year-old, will you? Even Martin is more sensible than you!”
Byron quickly pressed down her hand. “Why do I have to be sensible? Anyway, you are not allowed to use that scar cream.”
As the two were bickering, Georgia ran over in a panic.
“Uncle Byron, Aunt Cora…”
Cora and Byron simultaneously turned their heads, and upon
seeing Georgia’s pale face, they stopped their banter and walked
toward her.
Byron asked, “What’s wrong?”
Cora stepped forward to feel the temperature of her forehead.
“What happened? Why are you looking like this?”
But Georgia hurriedly pushed her hand away. “Aunt Cora, I have
something to tell you.”
Cora immediately looked at Byron, motioning for him to leave first.
But Byron didn’t leave and just scowled at them. “Do you two still have something I can’t listen to?”
Cora hurriedly pushed Byron away. “Aren’t you going to give a speech on the stage? Just go first.”
Byron had no choice but to shoot Georgia a look. “Remember, don’t be too long.”
Georgia nodded hurriedly. She knew about her uncle’s plan for
today.
And thus, Byron quickly left the backstage.
Only after Georgia made sure again and again that Byron had left did she clutch Cora’s hand.
“Aunt Cora, I’m so stupid. I have done something so terrible to
you.”
“What is it?” Cora subconsciously asked, but seeing Georgia’s
flustered and guilty look, she didn’t have the heart to reprimand
her.
“It’s okay. No matter what you did, I will always forgive you.”
“Aunt Cora, you have to be careful of Isidra!”
Georgia’s words left Cora at a loss.
“Be careful of Isidra? What’s wrong with her?”
Georgia said bluntly, “She likes Uncle Byron!”
Cora was bewildered. “She likes your uncle? I think that’s
impossible.”
After all, Byron told her earlier that both Isidra and her brother were eyeing her!
So much so that Byron looked as if he was about to overturn the
table and tear those siblings apart when Vaughn gave her the scar
cream.
But Georgia just told her that Isidra liked Byron instead.
She was completely disoriented now.
“Why is it impossible? She stayed in the Hansen Mansion because she was going for my uncle.”
Georgia had explained everything, yet Cora still looked at her in disbelief, and she felt as if she was dying out of exasperation.
“Anyway, you have to trust me. Isidra is here for my uncle. I won’t associate with her in the future, and you must remember, don’t let
her get close to my uncle.”
Seeing Georgia’s distressed look, Cora had no choice but to
promise her.
“Okay, I got it. Look how frightened you are. She’s not even about
a man-eating beast.”
At the same time, whatever Byron was saying on the stage
caused the audience to give out very enthusiastic applause.
Driven by curiosity, Cora couldn’t help looking at Byron through the passage leading to the stage.
But that man was walking in her direction before suddenly kneeling on one knee in front of her, a diamond ring in his hand.
