Nora’s lips parted slightly, but she quickly pressed them into a firm line. She gently pulled her hand away, her expression composed.

“Next time,” she said coolly.

Alex’s face fell. He stared at her for a long moment, his grip on his father’s sleeve tightening instead.

But he didn’t argue.

“…Okay.” His voice was small, but he forced a smile.

Arnold watched the exchange in silence before finally speaking. “Alex, say goodbye to your mother

properly.”

Alex turned back to Nora, hesitation flickering in his eyes. Then, with a soft sigh, he said, “Bye, Mommy.”

Nora gave him a brief nod, then got into her car. Without another word, she drove off, leaving Alex standing by Arnold’s side, watching until the car disappeared from sight.

The International Jewelry Design Exchange had been in full swing for two days, drawing together the world’s finest minds in the jewelry industry. With nearly two hundred professional forums, exhibitions, and discussions, the event had become a magnet for top designers, skilled artisans, and luxury brand

executives.

Among the prestigious attendees was STARLINE Studio, one of the invited brands. As a rising force in the industry, STARLINE had garnered increasing attention, and its participation in the event was highly anticipated. The forum scheduled for the afternoon… was named *Innovative Materials and the Future of Jewelry Craftsmanship*

It was particularly relevant to both Nora and Leo, given their shared passion for cutting edge design techniques and sustainable materials.

After leaving the hospital, Nora arrived at the conference venue with Leo and several STARLINE Studio staff members. The grand hall was filled with industry professionals engaged in discussions, admiring rare gemstone displays, and exchanging business cards. The atmosphere buzzed with creative energy.

Nora and Leo took their seats in the front row as STARLINE’s representatives, their expressions composed yet focused. For Nora, this event was not just another conference… it was an opportunity to solidify her position in the field, to prove herself among experts who had long dominated the industry.

Just as the forum was about to begin, a subtle shift in the air made Nora glance toward the entrance.
