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."

"Are you not full from lunch? Alexis asked with concern. Just let the chef make it. Why do you have to do it yourself..."

""Maeve wants it."

This answer made Alexis frown. "Do you cook for her often?"

She had seen it more than once.

Byron placed the prepared fish into the casserole and replied casually, "Yes."

Alexis had reluctantly accepted Maeve for Byron's sake, but her dissatisfaction with Maeve only grew stronger.

"You've already been exhausted from work. Why is she still being so willful and expecting you to take care of her? Doesn't she realize she should be more considerate of you?"

Byron narrowed his long and narrow eyes. His voice turned cold. "Why should she be considerate of me?"

"You're the eldest son of the Mcdaniel family, and she's just from an ordinary family..."

"Mother, you're wrong," Byron said, giving Alexis a faint smile. "I lived an ordinary life just like Maeve did for over twenty years. If you look down on her, you're essentially looking down on the old me." Alexis's heart trembled at these words.

She was surprised that Byron actually defended Maeve so much.

He clearly knew that the 20-odd years of dislocation between him and Neville had left an indelible scar in her heart.

"Byron, I definitely don't look down on you. I just..."

Byron retracted his gaze indifferently. "I still have work to do. Please leave."

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?
