The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 135

Even if Karen went to that apartment to recuperate, she would not affect Maeve even if the distance from Maeve's apartment was far.

Who would have thought that Maeve would have such a bad temper? She hung up without even listening to an explanation. Then she didn't contact Byron for two whole days.

After listening to his explanation, Maeve blushed awkwardly. Her hands were clenched tightly, and she looked guilty.

She didn't know that Byron owned the entire building-

Karen had said it so confidently at that time. Naturally. Maeve would think that Byron had given their home away

Moreover, Byron had said it so nonchalantly on the phone back then and that hurt her heart even more. Hence, she would not ask anymore.

Nobody would expect this to happen. Maeve wished she could bury her head somewhere to hide her embarrassment Byron did not give her the chance. He asked her coldly. "Do you have anything to explain to me?"

I... Maeve bit her lip. "It's my fault for leaving without saying anything

"More?" Byron pressed on.

"Thank you for taking care of me when I had a fever." Maeve continued.

Byron waited for a moment but did not hear what he wanted to hear. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Nothing else?" Maeve knew what he wanted to hear. She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "I'll go back after Karen recovers." She did not understand what Byron was thinking. Byron insisted that she moved back.

et now that Karen was living in that apartment. There

Maeve thought that it would be convenient for Byron and Karen to meet now was no point in him asking Maeve to go back

"Where are you staying now?" Byron asked again.

Maeve thought of the new place Alex had helped her find. She hesitated for a moment.

Byron could tell that something was wrong. He stared at her coldly. "Don't tell me you're living next door to Alex now."

"Not yet. I'm staying at Bonnie's for the time being." Maeve said.

Byron said, "Come and stay at my place.

Macve asked, "What?"

"I thought you didn't want to go back to your apartment," Byron said calmly. Then stay at my place so that you don't have to move here and there."

Maeve was stunned for a moment. She shook her head and wanted to refuse, but before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted. Byron said, "I don't have any plans to separate from my wife for the time being. Don't tell me you want Grandpa to find out about this? What Byron said was reasonable, and Maeve could not refute it. After struggling for a long time, she still wanted to think about it. "Let me think about iL

Chapter 135

Byron asked, "How many days?"

"Will a few days be too soon?" replied Maeve.

Tll give you two days at most," Byron said in a tone that left no room for negotiation.

Maeve was speechless.

She had never seen Byron at work, but now she had an idea of how he functioned.

Maeve thought, "He must be a tyrant who doesn't change his mind once a decision is made...

There was a knock on the door.

At this moment, Archer knocked on the door and entered. "Mr. Mcdaniel, this is Ms. Reese's gown and bag. They were found in the staff lounge. The thief has been held accountable. Byron nodded slightly and turned to Maeve. "Check if anything is missing"

"No, they're all here. Maeve took out her phone. Coincidentally, Alex called. She pressed on the answer button accidentally.

"Maeve, why were you gone for so long? Did you encounter some trouble? Do you need me to go up now? Alex's voice was filled with anxiousness.

Byron had a mocking expression.

Maeve immediately put the phone close to her ear and explained the situation to him. She told Alex that she would go down later. Only then did Alex relax

After ending the call, Maeve got up to leave, but Byron grabbed her arm.

"Change your clothes before going down. I have asked Archer to prepare a new gown for you." Bryone said.

Archer handed over a brand-new box.

Maeve carried the box into the cubicle and Byron followed.

The small cubicle became even more cramped.

Her eyes

widened. "Why did you

u come

"Shouldn't I personally help you change into the gown I prepared for you?" Byron slowly picked up the gown with a serious expression

Only Maeve understood the hidden meaning behind his words,

In an instant, her scalp went numb and she really wanted to escape, In the narrow cubicle, a strange feeling grew very quickly. Even without turning on the heater, Maeve still felt hot Maeve could have changed into the gown in a few minutes, but after half an hour, Maeve walked out of the cubicle looking

flustered.

She ran out of the changing room without looking up, as if a wild beast was chasing after her.

She had never seen such a daring person who did not bother about consequences,

Even though the misunderstanding had been cleared up, Byron still used the excuse of helping Maeve change her gown to take advantage of her.

Chapter 135

Maeve didn't really consent.

Maeve returned to the banquet hall angrily. The heat on her face had yet to dissipate. She looked around for Alex.

At that moment, someone beside her collapsed.

The person happened to fall at her feet, she was so scared that she took half a step back.

Maeve thought, 'No way! How can there be an accident here?

She quickly dismissed the idea. The person who fell to the ground was an elderly man with white hair. He looked like he was in pain.

The surrounding people did not want to get into trouble. So, they moved to the side of the room. Only the old man's assistant took out his phone in a panic to call an ambulance. "Isn't this Mr. Charles Chatterly? Oh my god, is he having a heart attack?

"There's an infirmary upstairs! Hurry up and call the doctor overl

"Mr. Chatterly doesn't seem to have a heart attack. But why is his entire body twitching? It's so scary.*

The banquet hall was filled with speculations, but no one dared to go forward, leaving a big space around Charles.

Maeve was so close that she could clearly see that Charles's face was turning purple as if he would stop breathing in the next second.

Something was wrong. This was definitely not a heart attack.

She had seen similar cases before. It should be...

Maeve hesitated for a second and hurriedly went forward to stop the person who wanted to carry Charles away.

Before she explained anything, she helped him up from the ground and patted hard on his back a few times.

The assistant's expression changed drastically, and he came up to stop her. "What are you trying to do? If anything happens to Mr. Chatterly, you'll take responsibility...

"If you stop me again, will you be responsible for his death? Maeve turned her head abruptly and a sharp glint flashed across her bright eyes.

The assistant was shocked by her and loosened his grip on her. Realizing Maeve was intimidating him, the assistant felt that it was unreasonable and wanted to push her aside.

Charles, whose eyes were tightly shut, suddenly opened his mouth and spat something out. After spitting out something, his body stopped twitching, but his hands were still trembling.

"Mr. Chatterly!" The assistant was overjoyed and hurriedly asked "How are you feeling now? I've already called for an anbulance. They'll be here soon."

Charles waved his hand and stood up with the help of Marve. "Tm fine. I just choked."

As he spoke, he looked at Maeve with a gentle gaze. "It's all thanks to this young lady. Otherwise, I would have died just now."

Before this, Charles had never believed that people would choke to death.

God knew how dangerous his situation was just now, He had also heard his assistant call for an ambulance, but he knew very well that he wouldn't be able to last until then. Fortunately, Maese was there.
