The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 223

Back at Kleymond, Maeve arrived just in time for Theo to finish school.

As soon as Theo got into the car, he moved closer to Maeve andaniffed her.

Maeve was amused by his puppy-like appearance. "What's wrong? Did you find out that I secretly ate delicious food again?"

"Mommy, you cried. Theo's expression was serious. I can smell the salty and wet smell of tears on you."

Maeve was stunned. "No-No way. How could tears have a smell?

"Mommy, you should say that there wouldn't be a smell of tears because you didn't cry." Theo had an expression that said he had managed to trick Maeve. He was little angry. "Who made Mommy sad?"

Maeve smiled wryly. Theo had actually learned to trick her.

"No, my eyes were just uncomfortable in the afternoon, so I couldn't help but tear up after the wind blew," Maeve explained as she drove into the hotel parking lot.

Theo reluctantly believed her explanation, but when he got out of the car, he realized that there was a lot of mud on the

tires.

However, the roads in Kleymond were good. There was no place that could be stained with such soil.

Theo thought of the box of gas station tissues he had seen in the car just now. It was clearly printed with the words "Belldol". Theo knew that Maeve had given birth to him and his brother in Belldol. He wondered if Maeve had cried today because she went to Belldol to mourn his brother.

Theo's heart ached, but he could not think of a way to make Maeve happy and not feel sad.

When they entered the hotel, the front desk staff told Maeve that a lady called Alexis Palmer had been waiting for her for almost two hours.

'Alexis? Maeve thought for a while, but she couldn't think of anyone she knew by that name.

She took Theo to the lobby to take a look and saw Alexis sitting there, looking down at the time on her watch from time to

time.

Maeve immediately stopped in her tracks. Then, she picked up Theo and sprinted into the elevator.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Theo asked cautiously,

"I met someone whom I used to know. I don't want her to see mer Maeve explained softly. "Let's go up and disguise- ourselves before coming downstairs." She had more or less guessed Alexis's motive.

Now, Byron refused to accept Jaylen's suggestion. If they wanted to treat Gilbert, they could only do so through Alexis.

However, at the same time, Alexis could not let Byron know that she was the one who was behind it.

After a while, Maeve and Theo returned to the lobby.

The two of them were wearing classic traditional clothes. Although their faces looked ordinary and were not recognizable, their temperament was very eye-catching. 1/3

"Ms. Palmer, why are you looking for me? Maeve led Theo to sin front of Alexis and asked directly.

Alexis sized her up a few times with an elegant and polite smile on her lips. "How should I address you?"

"My name is..." Maeve could not think of any pseudonym at the moment, so she could only use Jaylen's surname. "My name is Kylie Chatterly, and this is my son, Leo Chatterly." Theo's big eyes blinked and he thought, 'Mommy, you're being to perfunctory!

However, Alexis's eyes lit up when she heard Maeve's last name. Pardon me for asking, but what's your relationship with the Chatterly family?"

"My son is Jaylen's junior. He is also the last student of jaylen's master, Maeve replied calmly.

Alexis's smile instantly became even more sincere. "That's too much of a coincidence. I have a lot of interactions with Dr. Chatterly's family and our relationship is not bad."

Maeve took a sip of coffee and did not reply.

Alexis said a few more words to get closer to them before explaining her purpose for coming. "I would like the two of you to treat my father. He has been in a coma for nearly five years. We've consulted many famous doctors over the years, but there's nothing they can do. Thad planned to g give up at first, but I didn't expect to see the two of you at the hotel that day. Thus, I wanted to give it a try!

Her words were extremely sincere, but she was afraid that Maeve would not agree, so she even took out the remuneration she had prepared in advance.

This familiar gesture of handing over a card reminded Marve of the first time she met Alexis. That was when Alexis humiliated her with money.

"Baby, what do you think?" Maeve turned around and asked for Theo's opinion.

Theo knew his mother best

Theo had long felt that Maeve did not like Alexis. In fact, she was a little repulsed. Therefore, even though he knew that this was his grandmother, he was not affected.

Only his mother mattered most to him

Theo pushed the card back with a cool expression. "Jaylen told me that his grandfather still owes Macve a favor, so he asked me to treat your father. As for the remuneration. I won't accept Alexis looked at Theo and felt surprised.

He seemed to be even more intelligent than the other day when she looked from afar.

He was not inferior to Will

"Tim being tacky. Dr. Chatterly, don't be angry: Alexis could not help but soften her voice. Then what do you like? I'll buy it for you

Marve didn't want to interact too much with Alexis, so she said, Mrs. Mcdaniel, my son usually has school during the weekdays. It's best to arrange the treatment on the weekends." Alexis naturally agreed. 'Of course, we will accommodate Dr. Clatterly's schedule;"

Maeve was surprised. The Alexis in her memory was not so easy to talk to

However, she was not interested in investigating the reason behind it. She left the lobby with Theo and returned to the penthouse suite.

Alexis suddenly missed Will very much. Coincidentally, it had been a few days since she went to see him, so she asked the driver to go to Nightfall Manor

Byron did not tell her about Will's illness. He only said that Will was asleep,

Alexis was a little disappointed. "So early? I bought a car full of toys and new clothes for Will. I guess he can only check them out tomorrow when he wakes up."

Byron said, "Will doesn't lack anything. You don't have to bring him gifts every time you come."

I'm his grandmother. How can I visit him empty-handed? Alexis disagreed. "Also, you're usually so busy. If you can't cope, just send Will over for me and your father to take care of. We both have time. Byron's expression was indifferent. "Will is obedient and doesn'tcause worry."

Alexis was once again rejected. She had mixed feelings.

"Byron, no matter how obedient Will is, you can't neglect his mental health because of this. Such a young child will lack a lot of warmth without a mother. He's usually so quiet. I'm really afraid that he'll be bored." Upon hearing this, Byron thought of the question Will asked, and his eyes darkened.

Alexis continued, "Anyway, Will's mother is no longer around. You've seen how Lynn has been treating Will wholeheartedly over the past few years. What else are you worried about?"

Every time Alexis came over, she would mostly be talking about these topics.

Byron was tired of hearing them.

Byron's heart was calm as he interrupted Alexis's long speech, "still have a meeting to attend. Let Damian entertain you."
