Chapter 723 Her Throbbing
1/2
Georgia saw Isidra constantly gazing at the retreating figures of Cora and Byron. Thinking that Isidra was upset from being scolded by her uncle, she approached to console her.
“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 asked casually.
“Yes, but since he met my auntie, he’s improved a lot.”
Georgia quite 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 seemed distracted and by the end, took away Byron’s blazer which had been burned by sulfuric acid.
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 k*ssed her.
It was a pa*sionate k*ss 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 opened her eyes groggily and for a moment, thought she saw a man in a suit. She sat up abruptly, initially thinking it was Byron, believing the k*ss in the dream was real, momentarily disoriented.
But soon, her vision cleared, and she recognized Vaughn.
“Vaughn, it’s you…”
She felt an inexplicable 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.
ver since Vaughn began his official duties, Isidra frequently traveled with him.
When it was time to leave, she would pack and follow.
