The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 193

Worried that Maeve had waited too long, Alex quickly tidied up and came to the living room. He even brought her a cup of

hot cocoa.

"Thank you." Maeve accepted the cup of hot cocoa with some restraint.

Alex could tell that she was uncomfortable. He sat down on the sofa at the side and smiled to ease the atmosphere. "Thank you for coming to deliver the information to me. I'm bored at home and just happen to need these, he said. "You're welcome. I happen to have nothing to do today," Maeve replied.

After a moment of silence.

Alex asked her gently. "Did that man last night make things difficult for you later?"

"No." Maeve pursed his lips and guilt flashed across his eyes. "He's very good to me," she added.

As soon as she finished speaking, Alex's face turned paler than before.

Maeve felt even more guilty, but she continued, "I'm sorry for lying to you before. He's not my uncle, but my husband. I'm also sorry about last night."

How could someone as smart as Alex not understand the two meanings in her last apology?

It was both an apology and a polite rejection.

"Is he good to you?" Alex asked.

Maeve hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "He's very good to me. I like him very much."

Upon hearing this answer, Alex's fingers on the armrest tightened slightly, and the smile on his face was as gentle as ever.

"Since he treats you well, I'm relieved. You don't have to be sorry for me. I couldn't help but like you. You didn't do anything. wrong," he uttered.

Maeve gripped the cup in his hand tightly, not knowing what to say.

It was as if no matter what he said at this moment, it would be wrong.

"I'm serious," Alex looked at her seriously. "Maeve, I'm very happy that you can be honest with me."

He continued, "To tell you the truth, my preferences are the same as my inspiration. They come and go as quickly as they come. They're even more volatile than a June day."

At this point, he chuckled. "So, don't feel burdened. I can't marry such a cute girl like you, but I think it's not bad to have another sister, Alex finally finished his words.
