The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 82

I'm an adult. How could I be lost?" Maeve clenched her fists. "Besides, if you can't find me, you can call me. Why did you tell them to make that announcement?" She was sure Byron had done it on purpose because she went shopping without looking for him. How petty of him, she thought. The staff around her were now looking at her as if saying she was too old to be lost in a supermarket.

Yet, the culprit did not seem to have any intention of apologizing He even asked, "Where's your phone?*

"It's in my pocket-Maeve reached into her pocket and froze. Her face went blank for a moment. "Where's my phone?" She wondered if she had left it in the car. Her purse wasn't with her either.

Byron looked at her as i

f she was an idiot. He clucked his tongue and said, "Let's pay first."

pay you back when we get back, Maeve said, following him listlessly to one of the cash registers and removed the items from the cart.

The cashier looked at them teasingly and remarked to Byron, "Did you finally find your kid? Remember to hold her tightly next time so she isn't lost again.

Byron nodded lazily and took out his wallet to pay.

Maeve silently hid behind Byron. Her cheeks were burning as though she had a fever. She would never have the courage to come to this supermarket again. She was embarrassed every time she came here. After paying. Byron

easily picked up the large bags. When he saw Maeve standing in front of the shelf beside the cashier, he raised his eyebrows and said, "No matter how long you look at it. I won't buy it for you. Let's go." Maeve blinked. She looked at the shelves in confusion and that those were fences for keeping kids away from an area. Her mind exploded. Her face flushed red. She had never said she wanted him to buy that for her. She didn't need them.

Back at the apartment, Maeve was still thinking about what happened just now. Her ears were red. She ignored Byron and carried the groceries into the kitchen. She decided that he could go hungry tonight. However, Byron seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He rolled up his sleeves and walked over to wash the vegetables, When he saw Maeve cutting carrots, he frowned. "I don't eat carrots." Maeve's voice was calm. "I'm making baked carrots with chicken, carrot soup, and carrot salad tonight."

Byron asked, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Why would I? I just feel like eating carrots tonight."

Byron was speechless.

After dinner, Maeve heard the doorbell ring. She walked over and looked through the peephole. There were several men in work uniforms.
