The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 199

"That's why I'm back. Byron stared at her. "Finish your meal, and we'll talk

Maeve lowered her eyes to hide her complicated thoughts. She then picked up the fork and began eating.

She was indeed hungry

She'd only had half a chocolate bar since yesterday.

The table was filled with her favorite dishes. It was clear Byron had specifically asked the chef to make them light and healthy.

Maeve felt a surge of bittersweet emotion hit her, but she quickly swallowed it down.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, she put down the fork with a heavy heart.

"I'm done."

"Finish the soup. Byron said in a deep voice.

Maeve looked at the bowl of mushroom soup before her. Although she'd lost her appetite, she obediently sipped until it was gone.

As if he had expected this, he carefully covered her with a blanket and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner before turning around to leave. When Maeve woke up, it was already the next morning-

Rubbing her messy long hair, she sat up. She quickly washed up and went out to look for Byron.

To her surprise, she bumped into him the moment she went out.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep yesterday!" Maeve looked frustrated with herself. "I was just so exhausted. I really didn't mean it...

In her haste, a fine-sheen of sweat dotted her nose.

"I had business at the office, so
