The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 244

"Will, when your mommy and daddy have their wedding, would you be their ring bearer?" Alexis gently encouraged him. "You look so handsome and make a wonderful ring bearer.

Hearing this, Maeve suddenly jolted awake, realizing that the boy was the child of Byron and Lynn. A pang of bitterness welled up inside her. The child looked about the same age as Theo, meaning Lynn had become pregnant soon after her divorce from Byron. She thought, "Wow, that's quite a seamless transition! Maeve quietly stepped back, suppressing the indescribable emotions within her, and continued searching in the other rooms.

As she walked away, Will's serious voice came from the sofa. "I have my mommy. I don't need anyone else to be my mom."

To this day, she can vividly recall the scenes of celebrations in that room. However, New Year's Eve wasn't over yet, and everything felt like a dream, shattered utterly. Returning here once more, saying her heart remained unaffected would be a lie.

"What are you standing there for?" Byron casually shrugged off his suit jacket and sat on the sofa, elegantly crossing his long. Jegs. "Get started."

"Alright Maeve resignedly began cleaning.

The room was large, making the cleaning quite labor-intensive But Maeve had no choice but to endure it. She was already on the third floor, and with the fourth and fifth floors still left to check, she couldn't afford to give up.

As Maeve cleaned with her back to the sofa, she didn't notice that Byron's gaze was fixed on her, carrying a hint of curiosity.
