Chapter 431 Her Throbbing

• Georgia saw Isidra constantly gazing at Cora and Byron's retreating figures. Perceiving that Isidra was distressed due to her uncle's reprimand, Georgia stepped forward to offer comfort. “Isidra, don’t mind it. My uncle has always been like that, not fond of physical touch from others.” “Has your uncle always been so rigid in his character?” Isidra casually inquired. “Yes, but since he met my auntie, he’s improved a lot.” Georgia really liked Cora and felt that Isidra also admired her, especially since Cora once saved Isidra's life. She shared more about how Byron changed after being with Cora.
• However, Isidra appeared preoccupied and, in the end, removed Byron's sulfuric acid-burned blazer. That night, Isidra had a dream. Eliza came at her with a sharp knife, but Byron shielded her in his embrace. She caught the scent of his cologne and felt her heart race. As she looked up in shock, Byron suddenly kissed her. It was a passionate kiss, unlike anything she had ever experienced. She closed her eyes to respond, but then heard her brother Vaughn’s voice. “Isidra, it’s time to get ready to leave.” Isidra groggily opened her eyes and, for a moment, thought she saw a man in a suit.
• She sat up abruptly, initially thinking it was Byron, believing the kiss in the dream was real and momentarily disorienting. But soon, her vision cleared, and she recognized Vaughn. “Vaughn, it’s you.” She felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness. Why did you wake me up so early?” Did you forget? We’re leaving New York today,” Vaughn reminded. Only then did Isidra recall they were in New York for Cora’s birthday party, and her brother had some business to attend. After finishing, it was time to leave. Since Vaughn began his official duties, Isidra has frequently traveled with him.
