Chapter 829 Worry Too Much
Cora was slightly stumped, and she could only stand there unmovingly.
Was Byron about to formally propose at his birthday banquet?
That explained why he kept demanding her to style herself today and insisted on taking her backstage.
When those jumbled thoughts came to her, Byron’s intoxicating and charming voice resounded from the stage again.
“Cora, do you think it’s a bit sudden that I proposed to you at the birthday banquet today?”
Cora was still in a daze, which proved Byron had guessed it right.
“To be honest, I planned this proposal long ago. Four years ago,
to be exact. I like you to the extent that I hope the whole world
knows about it, and I wish to give you more than what other
women in the world have.
“However, that sudden turn of events has made us miss out on
each other for four years. And ever since we met again, there was
not a day that I didn’t regret being absent from your life in the last four years.”
While Byron was pouring out his feelings passionately, Georgia turned around and saw that Cora’s face was already drenched
with tears.
Georgia suddenly felt that her previous worries seemed
unnecessary.
Byron and Cora loved each other so much, so how could it be possible for someone like Isidra to get in the way so casually?
Georgia finally felt immensely relieved.
As for the man on the stage, his confession was still going.
“There are not many such four years in life, so I hope we can keep
holding each other’s hands tightly for every four years that come for the rest of our lives… Cora, will you marry me?”
As soon as he said that, the audience burst into applause again.
Many people also chanted, “Marry him! Marry him!”
Suddenly, the backstage staff also came up to urge Cora. “Mrs. Hansen, go up now. Mr. Hansen can’t wait any longer.”
Not only the staff, but even Georgia next to her was also urging
her.
“Aunt Cora, go up now. My uncle almost turns into a stone over
there.”
With everyone teasing her, Cora felt her face was unbearably hot.
But she still couldn’t help meeting the man’s gaze before finally stepping onto the stage.
Under everyone’s attention, she nodded to the man with tears in her eyes.
And thus, the man put the diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand at the fastest speed, then hugged her tightly in his arms and whispered, “Thank you, Cora. This is the best gift I have ever
received.”
Cora hugged him back and said in a very shaky voice, “I also want to thank you. Thank you for not giving up on me.”
Perhaps because the excitement in her heart had reached its
maximum, Cora did the most daring act in her life.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed Byron in the eyes of everyone.
Yes, she was indeed very grateful to him.
In the face of her feelings, there were times when she was a
coward, withdrawing herself, and performing unsatisfactorily.
It was this man who remained true to his heart, always holding her hand tightly and never letting go so that they could have their happiness today.
Byron had wanted to kiss Cora, but he didn’t do so as he was worried that she would be embarrassed to kiss in front of
everyone.
Now that she had taken the initiative to kiss him, how could Byron let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Soon, he gained the upper hand and turned it into a full kiss.
And because of their vigorous kisses, the audience once again burst into thunderous applause.
It was the first time Georgia witnessed what love looked like up close, and she was also deeply touched when she saw Byron and Cora exchanging lingering kisses affectionately.
She even wondered if her and Efren’s love would be as vibrant as
Byron and Cora’s.
Just as Georgia was immersed in her fantasy, a familiar male voice
came behind her.
“Honey…”
