The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 264

"Boss, what should we do?" Neville's subordinate was shocked.

"It's more fun that way, Neville sneered. "If my opponent is too useless, how boring would that be? What's more, I have a surprise for Byron, my good big brother. I have lived long enough for the surprise to corne, haven't I?" After saying that sinisterly, Neville pulled his windbreaker, stepped onto the pier, and walked into the distance.

Maeve received a call from Theo after dinner.

Theo had aroused Byron's suspicion of him, so he refrained from coming today. Theo had been unhappy in kindergarten for almost a day. He called Maeve after he returned home.

Maeve didn't know about Byron, Will, and Theo competing for favor. When she heard Theo muttering about Byron, she thought Byron was bullying him.

Soon, it was time for Theo to sleep. Maeve placed her phone by her pillow and sang a lullaby to coax Theo to sleep.

When Byron came in, he heard her gentle and delicate singing. It was as if every syllable hit his heart accurately, leaving an echo.

The ceiling light in the ward was not turned on. There was only a wall light beside the bed.

Maeve was lying on her side with her head on her arm. She closed her eyes and hummed a song. The warm orange light shone on her body. It was unbelievably warm.

Byron's heart skipped a beat, and his fingertips started to heat up

It was as if something sealed underground was about to break out of the ground.

Her singing became softer and softer not long after.

Maeve gradually fell asleep, but the phone beside her pillow was on the line.

Byron walked to the bed and tucked Maeve in. He inadvertently saw the caller ID on Maeve's phone screen, and his expression darkened.

'Sweet Theo. It is that boy again, thought Byron.

Byron picked up the phone and looked at the nearly two-and-a-half-hour talk time. A trace of coldness appeared in his eyes. "Macve talked with the boy on the phone for so long and sang him a lullaby. She is good to him. Huh, thought Byron "Mommy" A sleepy voice suddenly came from the phone. He seemed to have given a kiss from afar. "Good night, Mommy. I'm going to sleep."
