Chapter 188 A Heart Gesture
At the woodcarving competition awards ceremony on the afternoon of Christmas, as soon as Cora
arrived, 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 this
young girl, Cora, was your granddaughter! Her gaze and enthusiasm are reminiscent of your wife’s
youthful 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 gaze and
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.

“I never expected that young man from the Hansen family would be willing to be the award presenter
tonight.”
“Yeah, when we approached them earlier, there was no response. I thought his assistant would come
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 come over.”
“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, finding another young
man as outstanding as Byron in New York 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 that Byron
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 for her.
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 the award 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.

deliberately dressing up, he became the center of attention 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, driving
countless women crazy.
While Cora’s heart fluttered at his smile, Jane also felt her mind go blank as she looked at him, as if the
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 this man.
“Jane, Byron is greeting you. Why aren’t you responding?” Arnold urged as he saw Jane staring at
Byron in a daze.
Jane glanced at Cora and realized that Byron’s gaze was actually fixed on her. His greeting was meant
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 be easily cut off. However, as she stole a glance at Cora, Cora was
