The Heir's Secret Bride

Zephyr handed the lawyer's letter to Maeve..

She opened it and glanced through, unable to determine exactly what Aeolian had disclosed to Byron about her privacy. That must have been why he arranged for someone to deliver that lawyer's letter.

"You've spent two years learning from us, and this is all you've managed to grasp?" Gale remarked from his wheelchair. His tone remained steady, almost indifferent, as though he were merely observing. "It seerns there's nothing more we can teach you." "You have been here for so long, it's time to leave." Acolian froze staring at Gale in disbelief. "Uncle, are you kicking me out?"

"Aeolian, you seem to have forgotten," Zephyr corrected her gently. "Your home is not here."

It was never her home to begin with. Gale had merely agreed to let her study under his guidance and had granted her temporary permission to stay. However, Aeolian had lived with them for two years and had long treated that place as her home. She was the true eldest daughter of the Soar family.

Leaving that place meant that she had to return to her previous life. It was incomparable to the glamorous life she had now.

Aeolian found it more difficult to accept that than any punishment.

Aeolian's tears immediately fell. She squatted by Gale's feet and explained desperately, "Uncle, Brother, I didn't do it on purpose. I just thought it was fun to do this and wanted to play a prank. I didn't mean any harm." Suddenly thinking of something, Aeolian turned his head to look at Maeve. "Ms. Reese, I apologize. I shouldn't have opened your phone and looked around, but no matter what, I didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive me!" Maeve hesitated briefly, not out of sympathy for Aeolian. Zephyr and Ryan had helped her before.

"Mommy, Will said that his stomach hurts and it's very uncomfortable!" Theo pulled Maeve's palm and said anxiously.

Maeve's attention was immediately diverted. She squatted down to take a look at Will's situation. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his small mouth was so pale that there was no color of blood.

She was anxious and could not care about anything else. She picked up Will and said, "Mr. Soar, Will is not feeling well. I'm taking him to the hospital. I'll take my leave first today."

Gale glanced at Will and nodded slightly. "I'm sorry for being rule today. I'll invite you to my house another day."

"You're too kind, thank you," Maeve replied.

Zephyr watched the three depart, a hint of concern flickering in his eyes. "Father, why not have Anthony come here? I am sure he can cure the child immediately."

Gale glanced at him thoughtfully. "You sure care about them. Don't worry, that child is fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gale gestured for Damian to push him back. He only said calmly, "Tell your uncle and pick him up tomorrow."

to come

"Got it," Zephyr agreed helplessly. Seeing that Aeolian was still crying, he took a handkerchief and handed it to her. "Wipe it. Don't cry."

"Brother, I don't want to leave you guys. I've long treated this place as my own home." Aeolian's eyes were red and swollen. Chapter 538

She grabbed Zephyr pleadingly. "Please help me plead with Uncle. I won't leave, okay?"

Zephyr gently wiped away the tears on her face. His expression remained gentle. "This is Father's home. Only he can decide who can live here. The people who live here might not be Father's real family." "So, you're the same," he added.

Aeolian heard those words as cruelty. She was stunned and froze for a long time. 'If it wasn't for Maeve, how could he have done this far?' The hatred in Acolian's eyes was almost overflowing. In the car.

Maeve was on her way to the hospital when she noticed Will, clutching his stomach and sweating heavily, suddenly sitting up straight and promptly admitting his mistake. "Mom, I'm sorry I was pretending" "You faked it? Then, what about the cold sweat on your forehead Maeve asked for an explanation.

Will explained obediently, "I just have to hold my breath for too long and I'll be like this. I'm not sick. It's just a strange physiological reaction."

"We're just afraid that if mommy continues to stay there, she'll be made up by that auntie. In the end, we'll forgive her insincerely. That way, mommy will feel uncomfortable and we won't feel good either." Theo faced his small hands. Maeve did not know whether to laugh or cry. She heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's good that Will is fine. Mommy was scared just now." She stroked the little heads of the two chubby children and leaned over to press their faces against each other. "Mommy doesn't want to forgive that person. It's good to leave like this. It'll be easier." Will and Theo hugged her neck and rubbed against it. For a moment, the car was filled with joy.

Returning to Nightfall Manor, Maeve could not wait to see Byron with her lost phone.

She wanted to know what screenshots Aeolian had sent him.

When Maeve entered the study room, she saw Byron standing by the window talking to someone on the phone. Byron spoke something different from what she usually heard about his work.

"Tell him he has to abide by my rules after crossing the line. Otherwise, even if he's the son of an arms dealer, I'll still kill him."

Byron's cold voice was inadvertently bloodthirsty. It was like a sharp wind blowing in her face, heading straight for her fragile neck, taking her life.

Maeve suddenly remembered what her uncle had told her before she left.

"Byron is not an ordinary businessman. He has a deep background. I can't tell you the details, but you must be careful of him. It would be best if he could be honest with you, but if he doesn't tell you anything, you'd better think carefully as soon as possible about whether you want to continue staying by such a dangerous man's side."

'Dangerous people.' Maeve had never heard her uncle use such a word to describe anyone. 'Even Richard and his son had never given such a word. Byron Mcdaniel. What other background did I not know?"

"What are you thinking about?" The man's refreshing cedar breath suddenly approached. Then, Maeve's chin was turned from behind. She lost control of her tongue and lips. Under Byron's deliberate teasing, they exchanged a wet and passionate kiss.

Maeve wrestled with a hint of resistance in her heart. The thought of Molly left her with a heavy feeling, making her

However, she was not under her control. Byron had had her from the inside out.

Maeve reached out and pushed his shoulder, taking the opportunity to catch her breath. "You're done with your call? If you're busy, I'll look for you later." "Yes, it's not a big deal." Byron casually brushed it off. Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, he sat beside her and carried her to his lap.

"Stop fooling around." Maeve instinctively wanted to get up but was pressed back into his arms. Byron held her chin and looked at her expression inquisitively.
