They all turned around simultaneously and spotted Cora elegantly walking toward them in an evening gown, holding a wine glass.
She was naturally beautiful, and she had put in extra effort to look stunning that day, so she was the center of everyone's attention.
In an instant, Eason found himself stunned by her beauty once again, momentarily forgetting the lively atmosphere around him and his past with Cora.
He felt like he was transported back to the time when he and Cora were deeply in love, and she was coming on a date with him. He was filled with joy as he saw a promising future ahead of them.
It wasn't until she walked up to Byron and gracefully linked arms with him...
At that moment, Eason snapped back to reality from his beautiful reverie, and he also felt Mia's chubby hand squeezing his waist in dissatisfaction.
Right away, he was reminded of the harsh reality he was in.
"Mrs. Hansen, you look mesmerizing today."
Unaware of his nephew's internal strife, Byron offered Cora a sincere compliment.
Cora replied courteously. "Mr. Hansen, you look great too."
Their mutual compliment and affectionate demeanor toward each other only fueled Eason and Flora's frustration.
But they didn't expect that after displaying their affection, Byron suddenly turned back and reminded Eason.
"Your aunt is here. You should say hello to her."
Cora smiled demurely, seemingly anticipating Eason to address her as his aunt.
Eason's eyes were red at the rim, either because of jealousy toward Cora and Byron or feeling hurt that Cora would humiliate him despite their shared past.
Lydia quickly tried to ease the tension upon noticing it.
"Byron, Eason will need some time to get used to the change in your relationship. Please pardon his tardy response."
As always, she was defending her son.
To her surprise, Byron wasn't letting Eason off so easily, even though she had stood up for Eason.
"A child? He is almost thirty and about to become a father, and you still see him as a child?"
Byron's tone was flat, but his words were laced with mockery aimed at both Lydia and Eason.
That was the most ruthless anyone had talked back at Eason, the mama's boy, and Lydia, his mother. Mia felt satisfied hearing it.
If it weren't for her strained relationship with Byron and Cora, she might have applauded.
