Cora's expression changed, and she quickly withdrew her hand.
"What's wrong?" Byron asked before shooting a cold glance at Nicholas.
Obviously, he had also noticed something.
Nicholas laughed out loud, not at all looking like someone who had just lost his mother. "It was just a joke. I didn't expect her to be so surprised!"
"Don't joke carelessly, or I assume Uncle Lionel will no longer see you as a son anymore."
Byron's warning was evident.
"There's no need to be that harsh."
Nicholas was still smiling, as if what happened just now hadn't affected their relationship as cousins at all.
Later, he even took Byron and Cora to the mourning hall with an expression as if nothing happened.
Byron's aunt would be buried in a few days.
As soon as Byron and Cora arrived at the mourning hall, they paid their respects first before looking at the deceased's face.
Cora took one look at the body and immediately frowned.
Once they were done, Byron's uncle, Lionel Morwick, approached to greet them.
"Your aunt left so suddenly. I don't even know how to tell the Hansen family about this."
Lionel's expression looked weary.
Byron said, "Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the inevitable course of life. My father is also aware of this. However, he believes it isn't appropriate for the elder ones to mourn for the younger ones, so he asked me to come here in his stead."
"That's fine." Lionel nodded, then suddenly looked at Cora, who was standing next to Byron, and said, "She is..."
"She's my wife, Cora."
Byron turned again and introduced his uncle to Cora, "Cora, this is my uncle, Lionel."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lionel Morwick. I'm Cora."
Lionel nodded at Cora, then said to Byron, "This lady is a good match for you. But when did you get married? All of us here in Burcane didn't know about it."
