The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 274

Her daughter retorted, "Are you going to ruin my happiness for the sake of the company? Have you ever considered how I feel

Maeve placed the coffee in front of them and remained silent.

After being questioned by her daughter, this mother grew more infuriated. "Are you going to watch our company be annexed by the opponent? That's your father's life's work. How could be so selfish?" The daughter fell silent.

The mother looked pained. "We cherished you like a princess. We raised you and educated you. We'll give you anything you want. Is this how you repay us?

Your boyfriend doesn't even have a proper job. What can he give you? Don't talk to me about love. Love can't feed you." Maeve blinked. As a mother, she could understand this mothers worries about her child's future. However, this young girl might not be able to accept it in this way.

Unexpectedly, the daughter compromised at last.

"I know." She laughed self-deprecatingly. "You've spent efforts on bringing me up. Now, it's my turn, right? Isn't it just marrying an old man? Alright, I'll do it

Her mother's expression softened. "That's my good daughter."

Seeing that they were done talking, Maeve naturally asked, "What styles do you want?

As the mother wanted to answer, her daughter suddenly said, "I listen to you in all the other things. But at least I should choose my own wedding dress, right?" The mother hesitated for a moment and let her be

"I like simple ones. It's more convenient to move around. The wedding will be a tough day for me. I want to relax," her daughter requested.

Maeve's eyes narrowed slightly. She could vaguely hear another meaning in her words.

She quickly came back to her senses and opened one of the pages with a smile. "Take a look. What about this?"

"Yes, but the hemline can be shorter. This girlsmiled.

Maeve completely understood what she meant and sighed in her mind. But this girl's mother was drinking coffee. completely unaware of what her daughter was thinking about. "Alright, I'll send the design to you tomorrow night at the latest Maeve nodded.

After they left, Maeve received a call from Gwynn.

Gwynn would call her from time to time probably because Maeve was the only one who knew how her relationship had failed and there was something that could only be shared with her.

Maeve heard that Gwynn's ex-boyfriend had always wanted to get back with her, but she was sick of his pestering

"He wants to help me buy a wedding dress now, but unfortunately, I don't need it anymore," Gwynn said. "It's not like / can't afford a wedding dress, but only people who don't love me at all will think that I care so much about a gown." 08:09

Maeve could hear the relief in her tone and smiled. "I wish you

the best

"You too," Gwynn said softly. "Thank you."

After work, Maeve drove to pick up Theo and went home.

The door of the apartment opposite was open. Maeve looked inside. The living room which was empty in the morning had been filled with household hems.

She was a little surprised by Byron's efficiency. He just said that he would think about it in the morning. But now everything seemed to have been arranged. The interior decoration was ready-made and just lacked some furniture, which, however, would take a lot of time.

Maeve's bright eyes met Byron's gaze when he came out of the bedroom.

"Come in and have a seat?" Byron raised his eyebrows slightly, just finished it."

Maeve quietly hid Theo behind the door and looked around inside. "Will isn't here?"

Byron said, "He took his medicine at noon. He's still half asleep

Maeve felt anxious, but she had to pretend to be calm. "What's wrong with him?"

"It's an old problem" Byron looked at her. "Since he was born."

Maeve thought of the critical situation when Will was born. Her heart felt freezing cold and trembled as if it had been soaked in ice.

In front of Byron, she could not continue asking further. So she changed the topic. "Did you buy groceries?"

Byron's gaze inadvertently swept across the refrigerator. His dark eyes flickered. "No, I forgot"

"Then bring Will over for dinner later. What does he like to cat?" Maeve invited them.

Byron reported a few of Will's favorite dishes.

The moment Maeve heard the dishes, she knew that Will was different from Theo who was never picky about food.

Theo felt his mommy's gaze on him and blinked innocently. Do you hear my stomach growling just now? Night fell.

After dinner, the two little ones swapped identities without anyone knowing.

Theo swaggered into the apartment opposite. He had his chubby hands behind his back, looking like a leader to supervise

the work.

Byron sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed elegantly. His eyes were half-closed as he was dealing with the business on his laptop. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Theo walking over, but he didn't care. Unexpectedly, in the next second. Theo patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Young man, I heard that you've been very arrogant recently

Byron rolled his eyes in confusion. "Speak properly" He looked at the little guy warningly.

If Theo was afraid, he wouldn't be Theo. He humphed and leaned closer to Byron. His small eyes glanced at Byron's laptop. "What are you doing?" 08:09 Sat, Nov 2

Chapter 274-

"Business." Byron didn'teven look at this boy

"So you're making money?" Theo asked.

"Yeah. Byron still focused on the screen.

"How much money do you have? The little boy was kind of curious

Byron stopped typing and rubbed his head. "What are you trying to say?"

Theo's big eyes darted around, then he gave him a big smile and stretched out his round hand. "I want pocket money."

Byron raised his eyebrows. This was the first time his son had asked him for pocket money. He moved the laptop away and took out his wallet from the drawer. He asked casually, "How many do you want?" Theo thought he was referring to cash. However, when he saw Byron open the wallet and the countless bank cards inside, his big eyes were almost blinded by the dazzling lights.

Wow! You're so rich! Then why don't pay Mommy's rent?'

Byron looked at Theo's chubby face getting closer and closer, almost going into his wallet. He chuckled and placed his hand on Theo's forehead. "What? Do you want all of them? He had never realized that his son was such a money-grubber before.

Im not that greedy." Theo looked at his wallet enviously and licked his lips. Then I'll just take a random one?"

Byron handed over his wallet. "Yes, whichever card you draw will be yours."

Theo immediately rolled up his sleeves and stared at the card in his wallet. It was time to use his lucky hand.
