“Cora isn’t even here. What nonsense are you talking about?”
1/2
Eason’s patience for Mia was wearing thin, especially because she kept babbling about him having no
chances with Cora. He no longer had it in himself to be civil with her.
However, Mia wouldn’t back down and kept poking at his sore spot.
“I didn’t even mention Cora. How do you know I was talking about her? If you couldn’t bear to be away
from her, you shouldn’t have left her in the first place, and you definitely shouldn’t have associated
yourself with me.”
In fact, Mia was also upset.
The Patton family held a grudge against her for making a scene at the engagement party and refused
to go through with the wedding, which she went along with for the time being.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLater on, she conceived a child with Eason, and there was a little over a month left until she would give
birth. Besides, everyone had mostly forgotten about the embarrassing incident at the party.
Yet, the Patton family was still using her pregnancy as an excuse to postpone the wedding, claiming
that they didn’t want to overexert
her.
It finally dawned on Mia that Eason never intended to marry her.
Thus, she was determined to confront him with reality and make him understand that he couldn’t go
back to being with Cora.
But before she could finish her words, Lydia came along.
“Enough! Mind the occasion! Can’t you show some decorum?”
Mia couldn’t even be bothered to retort.
As long as Lydia was around, Eason would agree to every word she said. He was a total mama’s boy,
and it was really getting on Mia’s
nerves
She was even starting to envy Cora for managing to escape the awful mother–son duo and achieve a
status far exceeding theirs.
But it was apparent that Lydia was disgruntled at that.
“That woman actually married into our family! I just don’t understand what my parents were thinking!”
Lydia didn’t hold back on speaking ill of Cora in front of Nora to prevent her from becoming a part of the
family. But in the end, Cora still married into the family.
The fact that the woman who almost became her daughter–in–law now became her sister–in–law was
infuriating.
Moreover, she knew she would have to show Cora respect for the sake of the Patton family, and that
just didn’t sit well with her.
For some reason, it seemed like Byron heard her badmouthing Cora.

Byron had been chatting with some important figures from New York while holding a wine glass, but his
gaze landed exactly on Lydia without warning
At that moment, it wasn’t just Lydia. Eason and Mia were also dumbfounded.
“It’s like he heard us” Mia was feeling a bit intimidated by Byron.
“That’s impossible. My uncle is so far away.” Eason had similar concerns, though he also felt it equally
unlikely.
Lydia was also harboring feelings of uneasiness, but before she could say anything, she saw Byron
walking toward the three of them with a wine glass in hand.
Quickly, she forced out an awkward smile that was more like a grimace. “Byron, I heard you and Cora
got married. Congratulations.”

“Uncle, congratulations to you and Cora.” Eason raised his glass.
