But Lucas immediately went back to his room. “Cora, are you okay?”
Seeing Cora lying on her side, wearing jeans and a puffy short-sleeved blouse, his anxious heart finally settled down.
“I’m a grown-up. Don’t worry about me so much, and don’t treat me like a child.”
It had been half a day since Cora narrowly escaped being coerced by Byron. During this time, she had thought a lot. She ultimately believed they were unsuitable for getting back together, so her mood calmed down quite a bit.
Luas ‘s concern warmed her heart, and it strengthened her determination not to go back to Byron and wait in vain.
Unable to resist his playful nature, Lucas raised his hand and messed up her hair. “It’s time for my baby to come and eat! They’ve already prepared the barbecue, so there should be food soon.”

“Don’t mess up my hair!” Cora anxiously fixed her hair and
asked, “Are we having a group dinner again tonight?”

“Yeah, team-building activities usually involve group events. If
you don’t want to eat with everyone, I can take you out of this
resort to eat.”
Lucas didn’t think much of it and a*sumed that Cora just wasn’t used to eating with so many people.
In fact, it wasn’t that Cora didn’t dislike dining with others. She
just didn’t want to run into Byron again.
But then she thought about it and realized that it was Byron
who wanted to force her, and she didn’t do anything wrong. It was Byron who should feel embarra*sed, and she didn’t need

“It’s fine, and I’m just curious. Let’s eat with everyone.”
“Whatever you say.”
And so, they grilled by a stream as the night grew darker.
People in the city rarely had this kind of experience, so most of them happily ate and played, while some sat together to play
games.

Cora and Lucas chatted while eating, occasionally taking pictures together with their phones,

Only Byron leaned back on the recliner Jason prepared for him, gazing at the sparkling night sky that was far away from
the city. Unconsciously, he was distancing himself from them.
But even so, he had an abundance of food and drinks by his
side.
Jason personally cooked barbecue for him and even arranged
for several bottles of good red wine to be brought over,
Pleasant dining hours always sl*pped away quietly, and before
they knew it, it was already 9 o’clock in the evening.
“Everyone is tired today. How about…” Jason saw that it was getting late and planned to let the employees and their
families rest.
Jason also wanted to lie down in the stilt house and take a good rest. He had been standing and grilling for Byron
for over two hours, and his fat feet were already highly.
uncomfortable. He just wanted to rest as soon as possible.
However, Jason never expected that he would be interrupted
before he could finish his sentence.
“It’s rare for us to come out like this, and you want to rest so

early?” When Byron spoke, Jason was taken aback.

Others also looked at Byron with surprise, and Lucas couldn’t
help but glance at him as well.
Byron was now dressed in a black polo leisure suit, almost blending into the night.
After saying that, he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
At the moment when the smoke dispersed around him, he suddenly looked up and glanced at Lucas.
