The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter

Life was fair to her. All she had lost now all returned.

Maeve gently hugged the two little ones and planted a gentle goodnight kiss on their foreheads. "Sweet dreams."

Theo was indeed in sweet dreams, but it was hard to say for Will

Maeve didn't have any good dreams either. She had been dreaming of being chased by a lion all night. When she was caught up, she was still wrapped in the lion's arms. Every time she moved, the lion bared its fangs. After waking up. Maeve looked around reflexively and let out a nervous sigh of relief. What's wrong with me? How could there be a lion at home? Especially a lion that liked to hug people and rub against them. Maeve rubbed her messy long hair, lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and went out to wash up.

In the bathroom, Byron had already woken up. At this moment, he was washing his face in front of the sink. When he heard the sound, he raised his head and looked at the mirror. Coincidentally, he met Maeve's gaze. There were faint shadows under her eyes. It seemed that she hadn't slept well.

"Ms. Reese, were you a thief last night?" Byron wiped the water on his face with a towel. His voice was hoarse and low in the morning, somehow sexy and seductive.

Maeve pressed the comers of her eyes. "Thanks for your concern. Mr. Modaniel. I just had a nightmare of being hugged by a Tion

Byron paused almost imperceptibly. Then, he put the towel back on the shelf and inadvertently saw the baby face cream- and the baby toothpaste and toothbrush. He paused for a long time.

Maeve noticed this and looked in his direction. Her heart almost stopped beating. 'I forgot to put back Theo's things!"

"Mr. Mcdaniel, would you not even let go of kids things?" Maeve decided to take the initiative. "Why are you staring things like that?

Byron picked up the baby toothbrush and asked her with a faint smile, "You have such a hobby?"

"That's Leo's thing. He comes to stay with me sometimes,"

"Who's Leo?" Byron was confused.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

She raised her head, "Mr. Mcdaniel, don't tell me you still don't know the name of the little miracle doctor who treated your grandfather?"

'So that child's name is Leo. Byron raised his eyebrows slightly, "Doesn't he have a mommy? Why is he staying with you?" Maeve deliberately frowned. "Why do you have so many questions? He stays with me, so what? Is it illegal" "You seem to care a lot about other people's children," Byron's tone was so deep that no emotions could be detected.

"If that's the case, aren't I also very concerned about your child? Maeve's eyes shifted. I didn't ask you before. Is Will your and Miss Andreson's child

Byron's thin lips curled up slightly. "Speaking of this, I also have a question to ask you."

"What

you never knew that Will is my son, why were you not surprised at all when I came here to look for him yesterday?"

"Since you

GD

Byron suspected that she had already known about his relationship with Will.

Maeve's bright eyes shrunk, and her mind went blank. Yesterday, she was so to see that Will was still alive that she actually forgot to hide this.

She couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "Don't you think this question is a little unnecessary? Since I've already brought Will home, how could I not ask about his parents"

"Then why didn't you inform me immediately and bring him back to your house? Byron still doubted it.

"Will was drugged with sleeping pills at that time and was not very conscious. He only told me who he was after I brought him home, and then you came, okay?" Maeve said half-truthfully, "How can you blame me for this?" wwwill

The information sent by his subordinates did not mention that Will had been drugged. But it could also explain why Will looked so weak yesterday. However, Byron's doubts did not dissipate.

He did not ask that question for an answer. Instead, he just wanted to test her first reaction. Language from mouth could lie, but not body language wouldn't.

She was obviously nervous and afraid just now. No matter how well she explained it, it could not erase his doubt. She must be hiding something from him, something she definitely did not dare to let him know.

Maeve was terrified by his dark gaze. She felt that those sharp eyes could see through her heart. No secret could be hidden from him. She even felt too powerless to surrender.

She hit the tip of her tongue hard and suppressed this urge. Before she could figure out why he had changed his mind about raising Will, she had to be patient

"Well, you haven't answered my question. Is Will your and Miss Anderson's child?" Maeve changed the topic abruptly, afraid that he would discover something if he asked further. Byron put the baby toothbrush back in its place and said calmly. "No. Will's mother is...

"A heartless woman. Byron glanced at her coldly and walked out of the bathroom.

Maeve was speechless. Am 1 heartless? I'm far inferior compared to you.

Maeve was infuriated. But she could not refute him in person. She could only stab him in her heart secretly

After washing up and going out, Maeve saw Byron and Theo standing in the living room, staring at each other.

Her heart, which had finally recovered, almost stopped beating again.

"Will, why do you seem to have gained weight?" Byron looked down at the little guy and frowned slightly. Also, don't you dislike such childish pajamas?"

Theo was in a daze when he woke up in the morning. So he forgot that the Great Demon King had stayed over last night. That was why they even bumped into each other now.

Fortunately, Will didn't come out. But it would be hard to say so later.

Theo glanced at his pajamas and said unhappily, "How is it childish? It's so special. You really don't have a good taste."

The man who had refused numerous invitations to fashion magazines was speechless. He also felt that his son's voice was so similar to and even the same as the little guy called Leo. Maybe that boy had an bad influence. "Children should wear cute pajamas to match their age." Maeve walked over to smooth things over. "Don't listen to

your your dad. Go change your clothes, wash up, and eat breakfast."

Theo made a face at Byron-and ran back to his room on his short legs.

Maeve carefully looked at Byron, her heart pounding. He didn't find anything, did he?

Byron had basically gotten used to Will being rebellious from time to time. Despite his doubts, his concern for his son's condition prevailed.

Will had a tendency to have autism in the past. Even the psychiatrist said that it was not strange for him to show signs of split personality under such circumstances.

Maeve saw that there was no change in his expression and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. But in the next second, she suddenly thought of a question that she had neglected. When she gave birth, Byron took
