Laie.

Four years ago, they were almost at a breaking point. Byron probably thought she had abandoned Will, so he had

been cold towards her after reuniting. She thought, "How could he...

"Really, why would I lie to you?" Ray said, noticing her skepticism. He pulled out his phone, found the recording,

and held it to her. "I have a backup in the cloud. He deleted it, but | recovered it." He laughed as he continued,

"If you don't believe me, just listen for yourself!" Maeve hesitantly pressed the play button. A crackling sound

filled the air, accompanied by the clinking of bottles. Then, a voice, hoarse and tinged with the haze of alcohol,

cthrough, struggling to contain sindescribable emotion, reaching Maeve's ears. "Maeve... the heartless

woman who abandoned her husband and child. The voice continued, "Maeve.. Maeve..."

The last repetition of "Maeve" sounded tender and affectionate, like a lover's whisper. It struck Maeve's heart like

a heavy blow, breaking through a wave of tingling sensations that spread to her fingertips.

It turned out that she hadn't been in unrequited love after all these four years. While she was unaware, her

feelings had once received a response. Maeve felt her eyes warm, and a sweetness seeped into her heart, filling

every cell in her body. She event felt a bit overwhelmed.

She thought Byron's feelings for her stemmed entirely from her resemblance to his first love. But in that

notion began to waver.

"How about that? | wasn't lying to you, was 1" Ray asked with a cheerful smile.

Maeve shook her head. "And could you sendthat recording?"

*97%

"Of course, | can send it to you, Ray said. Noticing her slightly red eyes, he thought momentarily and added

thoughtfully. "Maeve, I've known Byron for over ten years, and I've never seen him so infatuated with any

woman. He's never been in a relationship before, so he doesn't have much experience. If there are any issues

between you two, | hope you can take the tto communicate properly"

He concluded. Just don't do anything you both might regret. Not like him and Ronnie, once a chance was missed,

it often becimpossible to reclaim.

Maeve nodded with mixed feelings. Thank you, I'll remember that."

However, the issues between her and Byron couldn't simply be resolved through communication. As Maeve

stepped out of the private room, she saw Byron leaning against the railing at the end of the corridor, his long

fingers holding a half-burned cigarette. The thin smoke blurred his profile, making it difficult to discern his

thoughts.

Maeve hesitated for a few seconds before walking up to him. "Didn't you quit smoking a long tago

Byron lifted his eyelids and casually glanced at her. I'm not smoking: I'm just holding it."

"Why light it if you're not going to smoke?" Maeve asked, confused. She thought, What's the point of lighting it

then?"

guessed you would cout, Byron replied softly, then tossed the cigarette butt into a nearby trash bin and

slowly walked toward her.

His tall, slender figure exuded intense pressure, causing Maeve to take a step back instinctively. Byron gently

lifted her chin, compelling her to meet his gaze. "During the gearlier, why did you keep fixating on my first

love?"

"Can't | just be curious?" Maeve replied, her bright eyes sparkling

"Being someone else's fiancée and still being curious about my matters-do you, Ms. Reese, find that amusing?"

Hearing this, Maeve shot back defiantly, "Mr. Mcdaniel, you seemed to askquite a few personal questions

earlier, too. Do you find that interesting?"

Byron chuckled. "I advise you, Ms. Reese, that | have no sense of morality and could easily steal someone else's

fiancée. If you're not afraid of waking up one day to find yourself trapped by me, then feel free to keep trying to

entice me."

She thought, Who is trying to entice him?" Maeve glared at him annoyed. "You were the one who brought me

here and. agreed to letplay that game. So isn't it you who's trying to entice me?"

Byron chuckled, leaning closer to her face, his deep-set eyes locking onto hers. "If | were trying to entice you,

what would you do about it?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Maeve, one hand gripping her neck firmly. When she tried to pull

away, he pressed her back with strength-His strong arms locked around her slender waist, leaving no room for

retreat. The shadows reflected on the wall showed their upper bodies closely intertwined, resembling lovers

nestled against each other.

Maeve knew that this was a one-sided takeover. His kiss left her bips tingling and her lungs slowly running out of

air. After struggling for a long while, she decided to go for it. Since they were already kissing, claiming it was

wrong would only make her seem pretentious. When Byron finally loosened his grip on her, she stood on her

tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and planted a kiss on his beautifully shaped Adam's apple: With a

teasing and bold smile, she said, "Mr. Mcdaniel, this is what you call enticing. Thu, Nov Chapter 328
