Chapter 276

Theo was shocked and his heart almost stopped beating. He had already painted his skin dark like coal and disguised his facial features. So how did Gilbert tell that he looked like his Momy?

"Do I look like her?" Theo cleared his throat, not feeling guilty at all. "People often say that I look like her. It would be great if it was true. My mommy always thinks that I'm not good-looking enough and is afraid that I can't find a girl to marry when I grow up." Upon hearing this, Gilbert immediately comforted him. "You're will young now. You'll definitely be very handsome in the future. You don't have to worry about that."

"Thanks for your best wishes. I'll work hard to become a handsome man." Theo said in all seriousness.

Gilbert could not stop laughing. Then he found something and was shocked again. "Why do I feel that you also look a little like Byron?" Somehow he even felt that this was because he was too old.

Theo was speechless, What? Can you just stop looking at me? How can you see that?"

Fortunately. Gilbert was tired and fell asleep after a while.

Theo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He took out the tools and began to perform acupuncture on him.

In the lounge outside, Maeve realized that Will's complexion was much better than before. Probably the medicinal soup had taken effect recently.

She wanted to hug her son, but she was afraid of arousing Byron's suspicion, so she endured it very hard.

"Maeve." Byron, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly said, "Why are you staring at my son?"

Hearing the word 'my son, Maeve's eyelashes fluttered.

It was still deeply imprinted in her mind how much he had rejected her children back then and how ruthless he had to get rid of them at all costs. Even after they reunited, he had no intention of telling her that Will was her son. If she h accidentally discovered it, she would probably be kept in the dark forever.

Are you taking revenge on me for secretly giving birth to the child? So you are using this to make me suffer, right?' Maeve forced herself to calm down. She looked at Will's little face and her gaze softened. "Nothing. I just looked at him and thought of the past. Byron looked up and said coldly, "Like you used to be a mother too?"

The sarcasm in his words made Maeve's heart stuffy. She even had an intuition that he was mocking her for being an incompetent mother.

With his love for Will, Maeve guessed that he might be blaming her for abandoning him four years ago. But Byron should be the one to reflect on his mistakes back then.

"It's been so many years. Mr. Mcdaniel, you still remember it. My pleasure," Maeve retorted casually. "Unlike me, I've long forgotten such a trivial matter."

Byron sneered. "Trivial matter? You heartless woman!"

The atmosphere in the living room became a little stagnant. Some things were like thorns in the flesh.

The reason why Maeve and Byron were able to coexist peacefully was that no one took the initiative to mention these things. But it didn't mean that the problems' were gone. Chapter 276

Will looked at his father, then turned to look at his mother. "Dad, if you want to live a long life, you have to keep a good temper first."

Byron's eyebrows moved slightly. "What are you trying to say?"

"You're so fierce. You scared Maeve." Will was reminding him to be polite.

Maeve was amused and laughed. "Will, you're a real gentleman really couldn't tell that you're only four years old

Are you mocking me? Byron looked at her sideways, "It doesn't matter. She has a strong heart. She even dared to jump out of the window in the middle of the night to elope with someone. She's not so easily frightened."

When Maeve heard that, she recalled that she had been placed under house arrest at Nightfall Manor and Jaylen drove a helicopter to bring her away.

"Will, don't learn from your father. Men who badmouth girls are usually not very likable. They might be single forever and

die alone."

After saying that, Maeve met Byron's cold gaze and raised her chin fearlessly.

The air was filled with the air of hostility.

"Pif." Will could not help but laugh out loud.

Maeve and Byron looked at him almost at the same time.

What are you laughing at?" Byron asked.

"Dad, you seem to be jealous," Will answered honestly.

Byron's jawline tightened slightly. He rubbed his head and scolded in a low voice. "Nonsense."

Maeve was also stunned for a moment. She recalled Byron's words just now. The more she thought about it, the more certain she was. That was indeed what a jealous man would say. After all, that was four years ago. If he hadn't mention it she might not have remembered it

L

He even used the word "elope. However, in her opinion, she was running for her life.

Sensing Maeve's gaze, Byron frowned and looked at her. His handsome face revealed an invisible coldness. "Don't flatter yourself."

If Maeve had not accidentally seen the tips of his ears that were slightly blushed under his black hair, she would have thought that she was really flattering herself.

Will even mouthed at her. It's true"

Byron noticed it and gave him a warning look.

Maeve could not tell what she was feeling.

Now that Byron was jealous that she had left with Jaylen, it meant that he still cared about her to an extent. He was even willing to keep Will and take good care of him, so he must have changed his mind at that time.

Did you change your mind because of me? Maeve's heart skipped a beat. She deliberately retorted, "I know I'm just overthinking. You and Miss Anderson are about to hold a wedding. How can you be jealous of me and another man?"

"So what? Am I the only one who's about to hold the wedding?" Byron narrowed his eyes. "Aren't you and that guy fellow getting married soon?"

Even Maeve could smell the jealousy in his reply. Iler heart suddenly started racing. She stared at the man's slightly tense and cold face and felt amused somehow, Tm getting married? Really? I don't even know it."

Have you forgotten that you accepted the title of Mrs. Chatterly Byron's expression was indifferent. "How would I know something that even you don't know?"

Four years ago, she was already willing to leave with Jaylen, so it was not strange for her to be willing to marry him now.

Maeve was about to say something when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.

"It is done. Later, feed the medicine to him. After a week of treatment, the poisonous magic in his body will be cleaned up." Theo walked over with his hands in his pockets, SEND GIFT
