The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 99

Maeve thought, 'I don't want to know why I'm always the one getting the short end of the stick and giving in. It's not like I just found out how domineering he can be. I can only go along with it! "Nothing much," Byron said casually. "I want a continental breakfast tomorrow." Maeve was at a loss for words.

said, "Byron, let me explain... There's a reason why I did that. Besides, you were the one who said that Maeve was your maid, so I misunderstood that she was seducing you..." "What Maeve is to me has nothing to do with you," Byron said, his sharp gaze landing on her face. "Ms. Booth, you've crossed the line."
