The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 179

the second floor, in the small parlor,

Gilbert personally poured Maeve a cup of coffee and asked her gently, "Did I scare you just now?

Maeve shook her head. She hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Well, yes, a little. My parents love their son so much that they came to ask for help," she said solemnly. "They were being rude to you, and I want to apologize on their behalf," she said solemnly. Gilbert's hand paused in mid-air as he looked at Maeve, his expression shifting from warmth to something more complex.

for her. The love in his eyes gave way to a deep sense of sympathy. In the end, he felt sorry

He thought that Maeve would resent her parents and even be ashamed to let others know that such people were her parents.

However, from her words, he knew that although she was aggrieved, she was clear-minded and kind.

That was why she apologized at this time instead of complaining and crying.

Gilbert was glad that he did not choose the wrong granddaughter-in-law, but he also pitied Maeve for learning to endure even though she was still young.

Just as peope always said, the more sensible a child was, the easier it was for her to be let down.

"Maeve, you don't have to apologize, Gilbert said softly, patting the back of her hand gently. "I should be the one apologizing. I didn't consider your feelings and made the decision to test your parents without thinking about how it would affect you. I made you suffer." Maeve's eyelashes fluttered and she wanted to cry. "Gilbert, I know you're doing this for my own good."

She knew her parents.

But in the end, no matter what benefits they received, she was the only one who was blamed and dissatisfied by the Mcdaniel family.

By doing so, Gilbert had drawn a clear line between her and them.

Everyone knew that her parents could abandon their daughter for their son.

In that case, no matter what wrongs they committed in the future, they would not blame her.

Gilbert had used a well-intentioned trick.

Gilbert comforted Maeve. "You're an outstanding child. You'll have a better life in the future after getting rid of that shadow."

Maeve tried her best not to cry. She did not feel the warmth of family from her parents, but she got it from Gilbert.

Perhaps it was a form of compensation.

When Maeve emerged from the small parlor, she spotted Byron leaning against the fretwork fence with his arms crossed. his posture suggesting he was waiting for someone. His gaze was distant as if lost in thought. Byron's eyebrows moved slightly. He walked towards her and fixed his gaze on her red eyes.
