The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 265

Maeve denied it too soon. Lynn knew she did not mean it. After hesitating, Lynn said, "I have something to tell

you. Actually, Byron and | are not really..." Knock knock

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Lynn. The nurse stood at the door and said, "Ms. Reese, it's tfor you

to take your medicine. You still have a physical examination to do later

"Alright, | got it," said Maeve, looking at Lynn in confusion. "What were you going to say just now?"

Lynn shook her head. "It's nothing. Go ahead."

Maeve always thought Lynn had mixed feelings in her eyes, but she couldn't tell what they were.

Maeve guessed it might be related to Byron, but there was no need to dig any deeper.

"Anyway, they are going to get married. They already have a cute child. | wouldn't want my future husband to be

involved with another woman if | were Lynn. Everything should cto an end here, thought Maeve. The corners

of Maeve's lips curved with bitterness, and her eyes gloomed.

In the afternoon, Theo swaggered over to check Gilbert's pulse.

Unfortunately, Byron was also there.

Theo checked Gilbert's pulse, who had fallen asleep not long ago. Theo kept feeling Byron was sizing him up.

"Sir, why do you keep staring at me?" Theo looked up warily. "I know I'm adorable, but you're bothering me.

Can't you control yourself?"

Byron felt like laughing for no reason every tTheo opened his mouth.

Where does this smelly brat cfrom?' thought Byron,

"Kid, what do your parents do?" asked Byron.

"Why are you asking this? Do you want to check on me?"

Byron narrowed his eyes. "I'm just a little curious. It's fine if Jaylen exploits child labor, but why are your parents

so generous? Are you their biological child?" "Alright, he keeps digging a hole forin a few sentences!"

thought Theo

Theo's little face puffed up. "You have to thank Macve for this. If she hadn't begged my mommy repeatedly, my

mommy would have been worried aboutcoming here." Byron chuckled and pretended to ask casually, "Does

your mother know you're also called Maeve Mommy in private?" Whoa, he is trickingagain, thought Theo

again. Theo's big eyes rolled, and his expression was innocent. "Not only does my mommy know, but she also

agrees withcalling her that."

‘Children don't usually lie. However, this strange little thing beforeis eloquent. Few of his words are

believable, thought Byron Chapter 265

Byron smiled slowly at Then's tiny frame, which he could only each by standing on a low stool to check Gilbert's

pulse.

He walked behind Theo, picked up the handkerchief on the table Theo couldn't reach with effort, and handed it to

him. Theo glanced at him. "Don't fawn on me."

"What?"

"Most of the guys who fawn onhave the intention of pursuing Maeve

The smile on Byron's lips faded slightly. "Were there many men who pursued Maeve in the past?"

Theo puffed out her chest with a matter-of-fact expression and said, "Isn't Maeve beautiful enough for you to

realize it?"

"Jaylen is one of them?"

96%

"Of course, Jaylen is different," Theo said deliberately. "He's so talented, young, and handsome. Isn't he a perfect

match for Maeve? | may even be their ring bearer one day." Byron suddenly felt a wave of depression, and his

eyes beceven colder.

Theo knew when to stop. He happily put the needle bag back into the small medicine box, hiding his

achievements and reputation.

"Well, | accidentally pissed off my cheap dad again, thought Theo.

On the other side, in Maeve's ward.

Will cwith a thermos containing the love soup he had personally prepared for Maeve all afternoon.

Not to mention how frightened the butler and chef in the manor were, but Maeve was extremely touched to see

his love

soup

"You are so sweet!" Maeve hugged Will and rubbed against his soft face. "How was your day in Kindergarten

today? Are you tired?"

Will couldn't help but blush even though he had gradually gotten used to being intimate with Maeve.

He wanted to answer Maeve in Theo's tone but thought about it and asked, "Why must | go to kindergarten?

Can't | not go?"

"Why not?" Maeve gently stroked his soft short hair. "I know you're clever. Other kids take many years to get

from one to ten, but you only need a short tto reach the finish line. But the scenery you experience along

the way is equally important. Skip those grids and you won't be able to see the precious scenery.

It was also why she insisted Theo start from kindergarten.

'No child, no matter how clever, can have no childhood, thought Maeve.

Will seemed to understand, and a trace of confusion appeared in his clear round eyes. "Isn't it to learn to become

a qualified heir and bring glory to the family?"

Will's grandfather often reminded him he was the future successor of the Mcdaniel family. He had to be

outstanding, strong, and ruthless to the extent that he could sacrifice his family to replace his father as the pillar

of the Mcdaniel family in the future

However, he didn't want to replace his father. He didn't want to beca cruel man like his father.

Maeve found it funny and thought, 'No wonder the Islaton Private International Kindergarten is an aristocratic

school. Its educational guidelines are tailor-made for the wealthy

She shook her head. "You're still young. Your priority is to have a happy childhood, not to be trapped in the

shackles imposed by adults and decide what kind of person you want to be according to their wishes. You have

to be yourself."

So what if my child doesn't know anything? That is enough as long as he is healthy, happy, and grew up safely.

In any case, there is no throne to inherit in my family. Why do | have to put so much pressure on my child for

nothing?’ thought Marve Will's nose tip was slightly red. He took a step forward and plunged into Maeve's arms.

His small hands grabbed her clothes and rubbed against her affectionately.

It was like a tired bird throwing itself into the forest,

In the past, no one had ever told him he could be himself. He also had the right to choose.

"So it was true the mothers are the best in the world as it is written in the books. Well, Dad's fine, too, thought

will

Will added the last sentence in his heart.

Maeve hugged his little body and accidentally saw a crescent-shaped birthmark on the back of his neck. Maeve

was stunned for a few seconds.

Is there a birthmark on my child? Why didn't | notice it when | washed him? Is it because the birthmark used to

be too small forto see, but now it's bigger and more obvious? thought Maeve.

Maeve looked at Will's little face filled with longing. She suppressed the doubts in her heart and gently hugged

him tightly.

She was probably overthinking.

"Mommy..."

Then, a familiar explosive voice cfrom the ward door,

Maeve turned around in shock, but no one was at the door.

She couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Did 1 hear wrongly just now? Will is in my arms. Why is the voice coming from the door? thought Maeve.

Outside the door, Theo leaned against the wall and patted his chest in relief.

'Oh, my god, Will is my good brother. He didn't even tellwhen he cto see Mommy. | have almost been

discovered! SEND GIFT
