The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 180

Alexis touched her forehead, confirming that she didn't have a fever or any hallucinations. She then walked over and asked. "Byron, what are you doing?"

Byron did not even look up. He simply said, "Making noodles."

Alexis looked extremely disappointed.

Byron was willing to cook for his wife, Maeve, just someone unimportant, but he was so cold to his biological mother.

Alexis thought, "Why, exactly?
