“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.
Hayden felt the urge to distance himself from Maura, yet he couldn’t bear to do So.
“My parents have been arranging blind dates for me lately, and I’m constantly juggling different suitors. It’s really exhausting…”
Maura spoke, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears.
Hayden was about to offer her a tissue, but Maura suddenly threw herself into his arms before he could.
Hayden hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to react.
Maura clung tightly to his waist.
“Hayden, just let me lean on your shoulder for a bit. I’m really tired. Can’t you pity me a little?”
Hayden’s outstretched hand paused.
Because he knew that a significant portion of Maura’s current predicament was a result of him…
He couldn’t shirk his responsibility…
On the other side, Freya arrived at the banquet venue.
As she entered, she coincidentally ran into Georgia.
“Freya!”
While other wealthy socialites might act aloof and wait v piers to fawn cpr peqos as completely different.
Upon spotting Freya from afar, she enthusiastically waved and approached her.
At that moment, Freya had a smile.
“Mrs. Serrano, long time no see.”
“Why call me Mrs. Serrano? Just call me Georgia. We’re about the same age. There’s no need for formalities,”
Georgia said warmly.
Freya couldn’t resist Georgia’s overwhelming char and, atlessed her as Bedryia.
Georgia held Freya’s hand and asked,
“Where’s Mr. Gollust?”
Freya then shared the details of Hayden seeking SGdnny om cpppyiieshEe nd added,
“He doesn’t know I’m here yet.”
“Let’s find him later. But for now, let me introduce you to someone…”
Georgia said as she pulled Freya towards Cora.
“This is my sister-in-law, Cora,”
Georgia introduced.Freya looked at Cora, who was just within arm’s reach and was momentarily dazzled.She was so beautiful…
Rumors had it that she was a woman who had already given birth to two children, yet her figure was so attractive.Her face was even more dazzling.Unlike the other wealthy and arrogant socialites, she exuded a gentle and kind aura.Her face wore a graceful smile, making people admire her at first sight…
Georgia then introduced Freya to Cora, and Cora politely greeted Freya.But Freya seemed dumbfounded, looking at Cora like a fool.It was only when Georgia reminded her,
“Freya, what’s wrong with you?”Freya finally snapped out of it.
“I know. This is the famous Dr. Lane. I’ve seen many news articles about her before, but I never thought Dr. Lane would be even more beautiful in person than in the photos.”Many celebrities’ photos were heavily edited, so they often look stunning in pictures, but in reality, they might not match the image portrayed.Freya assumed that Cora might be the same.How could Cora be so beautiful and yet have such outstanding medical skills?
But seeing Cora’s beauty with her own eyes, Freya realized that sometimes the Creator indeed showed favor to certain individuals.Cora was undoubtedly one of those favored ones.Not only did she possess extraordinary looks, but her intelligence and talent were also top-notch.Freya couldn’t help but stare at Cora’s breathtaking face, momentarily at a loss for words.Georgia chuckled,
“Freya, you’re really amusing. You blush as if you’ve just seen your idol when looking at Cora.”Freya said,
“I used to idolize Dr. Lane and admired her a lot.I really wanted to become a great doctor like her, healing countless people. But, unfortunately, I was born in poverty and never had the opportunity to pursue medical studies…
“Cora comforted Freya, saying that one’s background didn’t matter as long as they worked hard and pursued their dreams. She then offered,
“If you truly want to study medicine, you can come to my medical clinic in the future. I happen to need an assistant, and you can learn medicine while helpingme.”Cora called for a waiter, who brought paper and a pen, and she wrote her private number for Freya.”If you decide to come, you can contact me anytime by calling this number.”
Freya felt flattered and took the number, thanking Cora repeatedly.
“Dr. Lane, you’re truly a perfect person, beautiful, skilled in medicine, and with a happy family.”However, Georgia quickly informed her,
“Well, God is fair, after all. He still closed a window for Cora.”
“How is that possible? I think Dr. Lane is absolutely perfect.”
Freya curiously scrutinized Cora.Cora blushed and said nothing.But Georgia still told Freya,
“Cora’s cooking is terrible. BesidesByron, no one else in the world can bear to eat what shecooks.”Freya was utterly shocked on the spot.So, the perfect goddess Cora alsohad this side that oe gidn want’pe te{know Gt was trulysurprising. Cora got annoyed and chased after Georgia, but Sh ng Gipied Nh
“What’s going on here?”
He was dressed in a handmade black suit, exuding elegan eCte an SSS the lastcentury, every gesture full of grace…
As he approached, he immediately embraced Cora’s slender waist and pulled her close to him.”Did Georgia upset you again? Just tell me, don’t confront her yourself. Be careful not to twist your foot. You’re wearing high heels!”Byron and Cora stood together, and Freya thought of them as a perfect match.
They were eye-catching and enviable…
Watching the scene, Freya recalled the story she had readabout Byron and Cora on the internet before.It was said that Byron had saved Cora in the past and had been secretly providing scholarships to support her medicalstudies.Byron had waited for Cora to grow up in his own way, and then they got married and had children, planning to live together forever.This was the most beautiful love story Freya had ever heard, and now she witnessed the two people in the story with herown eyes.They were just like the story described, a perfect match.Moreover, Freya could feel the deep affection between the:two.Especially Byron, who had been in the business world formany years, didn’t care about the attention from others or neglected care and concern for Cora.This was the most beautiful aspect of love…
While Freya was thinking, Georgia was already grumbling and complaining about Byron’s favoritism.”Byron, I’m your niece, so you should favor me more, right?”But Byron tapped her head.
“You are indeed my niece, but she is my wife. Of course, I should favor her more.”Just then, not far away, Efren, who was chatting with some political figures, noticed the situation here and quickly walkedover.As expected, Efren showered love on his wife Georgia as soon as he arrived.
He covered the spot where Georgia was poked on the headand glared at Byron.”Why did you poke my wife’s head while talking?”
“She provoked my wife and made her unhappy. Can’t I say a few words in return?”Byron’s tone left Efren no choice but to concede.”Alright. But don’t touch Georgia. I’ll feel bad for her.”However, Georgia was annoyed.
“Efren, you’re not backing me up properly.”
Efren was amused and tried to comfort Georgia.
“I’ll scold Byron a few more times for you.”Efren didn’t intentionally lower his voice, so everyone else heard it and couldn’t help but laugh.Including Freya.She couldn’t believe that these powerful and mighty individuals could be so playful.Hearing the laughter, Georgia quickly introduced Freya toByron.Byron greeted her politely, and when he learned that Coraintended to have Freya work as an assistant at the clinic, hewarmly invited Freya to visit their home when she had time.Lately, the clinic where Cora worked had been overwhelmed with patients.
During this time, Cora was almost working from dawn till dusk and would fall asleep as soon as her head touched the pillowat home.Even Byron, as her husband, had very few chances to talk withher.So, Byron paid special attention tothe people chosen by Cora fo3i0the clinic hoping thal fhbs?dN Could genuinely assistwith some of Cora’s work and makeit easier for her.Freya was truly surprised to find that the rumored Byron was so approachable.
She felt a bit flattered.Thankfully, a few business magnates approached Byron to greet him at that moment, so he took Cora to chat with them.A few acquaintances alsoapproached ela) Geangia’
dens like dealing with those people, she took Freya with her and left. Georgia said,
“Let me take you to find Mr. Gollust. I saw himaround here just now.”After saying that, Georgia led Freya to the terrace.However, she never expected thatwhen she pushed open the dpor(ethe terrage,sheavouid ste Maurachyihy in Hayden’s arms, looking very distressed.
“Hayden, I’m really sad…”
Maura was still crying, burying half of her face in Hayden’s chest. Though Hayden didn’t embrace Maura, he didn’t push her away either. The front of his light gray suit was marked with a large damp patch. Maura had probably cried in his arms for quite a while. This scene not only left Freya stunned in place but also bewildered Georgia. She had only wanted to bring Freya to see Hayden and witness the sweet moment of lovers reuniting. But instead of witnessing a surprise, they witnessed a shock. Watching Hayden and Maura being so close made the tiredness in Freya’s heart worse. This was probably why Hayden had been ignoring her these past few days. ? 214 He had Moura by his side, tenderly caring for him. She might have even provided him with physical comfort. Indeed, it should be much better than what Freya, this poor girl, could offer him. At least their love wouldn’t be opposed by family or burdened by the hardships of starting a business…
Freya knew she had lost again.
“Let’s go.”
Freya whispered to Georgia. They stood in a dimly lin comer, so neither Hayden nor Maura noticed meir presence. Georgia was angry and wanted to rush over to support Freya and vent her frustration. But Frevo fightly held Georgia’s hand.
“Georgia, if you consider me a friend, could you please leave me a little dignity?”
Georgia thought of her own feelings when she completely broke things off with Efren, so she didn’t force Freya to do Finally, Georgio took Freyo upstairs to a hotel room and considerately ordered some drinks for her.
“Have a little. You’ll feel better after drinking.”
Georgia remembered that during the time she and Efren were apart, she would also drink a bit every day. Facing everything sober was just too painful.
“Thanks, but won’t Mr. Serrano get angry with you for leaving like this?”
Freya noticed that everyone at the party had brought companions. Hayden had brought Maura along…
So, if Efren found out that his wife suddenly left and came out to drink with another woman, he would probably be furious.
“He won’t. He wouldn’t dare to be mad at me,”
Georgia said with confidence. But seeing the envy on Freya’s face, she added,
“At most, I’ll apologize and make it up to him when I go back.”
This made Freya burst into laughter. However, after laughing, she started to cry.
“To be honest, it’s better to be apart. Otherwise, I’d always worry that he would leave. Being separated makes me feel more at ease.”
As she spoke, Freya opened a bottle of alcohol for herself. In her heart, she also thought that she might have been pregnant. But she felt that even if Hayden had stayed by her side, she wouldn’t be able to keep the child. After she took a sip, her stomach churned, and she had to rush to the bathroom, hugging the toilet and throwing up non-stop. Georgia was quite scared by Freya’s reaction and hurriedly followed her into the bathroom.
“Freyo, what’s wrong?”
She added,
“Is your stomach upset?”
But suddenly, Georgia thought of something and stuttered as she asked,
“Are you pregnant?”
Freya’s face turned pale, and she shook her head.
“I didn’t know yet. It wasn’t confirmed. Maybe?”
Her stomach felt hurt, as if it were on fire, making her extremely uncomfortable. Seeing Freya’s appearance, Georgia had a pretty good idea that Freya might have been pregnant. The symptoms were just like when she was pregnant.
“Does that scumbag know?”
