Apart from the incident where Byron taught Charlie a lesson on behalf of Evie earlier, he didn't pay much attention to her at all.
Byron didn't even take a sip of the drink that Evie poured for him.
Harry initially wanted to find an opportunity to ask if this woman really had any connection with Byron.
But after patiently observing Byron's reaction, Harry felt no need to ask anymore.
That woman's touch repelled Byron. He didn't even drink the wine she poured. It's unlikely that there would be any physical involvement between them.
As for why Byron helped her, there was probably a reason behind it.
Harry was not curious about this reason.
"Byron, can you ask my future sister-in-law what sports car she likes? When you two get married, I'll buy her one as a wedding gift."
Under Harry's lead, others also discussed what gift to give Byron's future wife.
"If Harry gives a sports car, I'll give them a motorhome. That way, Byron and his future wife can travel with their child."
"If you all are giving cars, I'll give a house. The sea-view houses in the southern part of the city are good. I'll reserve the best two sea-view properties for Byron's future wife and wish them a lifetime of happiness."
"Since you all give houses and cars, I'll give jewelry. After all, our family is in the jewelry business. I'll take care of all the jewelry for Byron and his future wife's wedding."
Listening to the discussion, Evie felt so envious that it twisted her heart.
They had just started planning a wedding and received many houses, cars, and jewelry as gifts.
If it was the wedding day, they would be overwhelmed just by receiving the gift!
If she could become Byron's bride, that would be wonderful.
All those houses, cars and jewelry would be hers.
The more she thought about it, the more she realized that her perspective was too narrow.
If she could become Byron's bride, how could she settle for being his lover?
So she looked at Byron's profile and started planning something in her mind...
While everyone was expressing their gifts, Byron raised his glass and clinked with each one of them, saying, "I'll thank you all on behalf of my wife."
He didn't politely refuse because wedding gifts were part of social reciprocity-giving and receiving in such occasions was customary.
When they got married, he would reciprocate with gifts of the same level as they had given.
