The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 93

After lunch, Maeve took advantage of the moment when Bonnie went to make a phone call and got up to pay the bill at the front desk. Although Bonnie said she would treat this time, this restaurant looked too high-end, so Maeve felt uncomfortable about letting her pay. "Let me do it," Byron said. His deep and clear voice came from behind her. Maeve turned around and

and saw Byron taking out his phone. She immediately said, "It's okay. I can't let you spend so much money. I'll do it." her and and immediately paid the bill. The waiter smiled and handed over the receipt, saying, "We look forward to seeing you next time."

Maeve had no choice but to move closer to Byron and said quietly, "Mr. Mcdaniel, how much was it in total? I'll transfer half of the amount to you. Letting you treat us is somewhat..."

She thought, I initially invited him to join us for the meal, yet he ended up paying the bill. What's going on?'

"It's okay." Byron had one hand in his pocket. Upon catching a glimpse of Maeve's conflicted expression, he said indifferently, "Have you ever seen a couple who goes out to eat and splits the bill? Or do you want others to know there's an issue with our relationship?" Maeve thought about it seriously for a moment. "I have. I used to have a colleague who split everything with her husband every time they went out for a meal or shopping. They split the bill to the point where every single cent was accounted for, and they didn't owe each other anything." Before she left her previous company, that colleague had divorced her husband.

The reason was

that the wedding anniversary gift her husband bought for her was not as expensive as the one she gave him. She felt she was at a disadvantage, so she brought up divorce. Byron's thin lips curled slightly. "My family didn't have such rules in the past, and we won't have them in the future either."

'Splitting bills with my wife?' he thought. 'Am I unable to support her or what?"

Since Byron insisted, Maeve thought about transferring the money to the card she had given him.

She then pointed at the handmade ice cream shop opposite the restaurant. "Let me treat you to some handmade ice cream then. Bonnie hasn't finished her call. Let's go buy it and come back to look for her." Byron frowned slightly. "Eating ice cream in the middle of winter? Weird eating habits. You think you haven't had enough medicine, huh?"

And she's already hungry again right after having lunch?' he thought.

Maeve took a deep breath and suddenly had a terrifying premonition.

I can forget about eating ice cream at home in the future,' she thought. 'He'll definitely nag me like hell.'

She then decided to settle for the next best thing. "Cotton candy is fine, right?"

"Your saying that you want to treat me is cr****p," Byron sneered. "I think it's just that you're craving it yourself."
