Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 1053

The banquet was held to celebrate the Hansen Group's success in securing a multinational mega-project, so those attending were not just people from New York but also influential figures from all over the country.

As a result, newcomers like Hayden from a newly established company seemed rather inconspicuous amidst the crowd.

Nonetheless, Hayden tried his best to maintain a smile, greeted many people, and attempted to network, hoping it would benefit his company's development.

What he didn't expect was to see Maura at the party.

Maura looked stunning in her fishtail dress, with her long curly hair swaying elegantly as she walked.

She was engaged in a conversation with someone when she suddenly looked up and locked eyes with Hayden.

Seeing her, Hayden nodded in acknowledgment.

After all, they were once engaged.

As long as Maura didn't become too stubborn, Hayden believed they could still be friends.

However, he didn't anticipate that Maura would approach him and clink glasses with him.

"Long time no see, Hayden."

"Yeah, it's been a while," Hayden replied with minimal expression.

Maura smiled enchantingly, "We couldn't get married, so we can't even be friends?"

Her radiant smile seemed to indicate that she had moved on from their previous failed relationship.

Seeing her like this, Hayden felt relieved.

So, naturally, they ended up chatting on the terrace of the banquet hall.

"How have you been lately?"

"Not bad. My parents wanted me to take over part of the family business, probably hoping I'd become a successful woman."

With just one casual question, Maura started talking non-stop as if she wanted to share all the recent details of her life with Hayden, like confiding in an old friend.
