The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 289

Maeve unconsciously choked up at the end of her sentence. When she realized this, she immediately shut her mouth to hide her emotions

Byron's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. His deep black eyes stared at her without blinking. "I was lacking in consideration for this matter. However, do you care about my engagement with Lynn?"

"If I had a fiancé and kept pestering you to do intimate things with you, would you feel comfortable?" Maeve asked.

Byron frowned. Just thinking about the possibility of another man being engaged to Maeve made him feel unhappy. Suddenly, his brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his thin lips. "Maeve, do you think I like Lynn?" "Don't you?"

"She was only eleven when she passed. Do you take me for a beast?"

Maeve was stunned for a few seconds. She thought, 'Eleven years old? The sketch that he has placed in the study is obviously for a girl who is around 10 years old because she still wears a high school uniform. The age doesn't match his words. Could it be that the girl in the painting is not Lynn? But that face clearly looks like Leon after he cross-dressed as Lynn...

Maeve frowned and pondered. She was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice Byron leaning over.

When she noticed that, her vision was completely occupied by his handsome face, her breath was filled with the refreshing pinewood fragrance on his body.

It was faint and pleasant.

Maeve could not help but shrink back. Her back was tightly pressed against the seat, and she was a little nervous when she met his deep gaze.

She asked, "What are you doing?"

Answer my question." Byron placed his arms beside her and said in a deep voice, "Have you been avoiding me because of

this?"

Only then did Maeve remember that she was in a bad mood last time and confessed her feelings to him in a hinting way.

She wasn't avoiding him. She just wanted to give herself more time to figure it out. However, before she could figure it out. this incident happened. It made her look like a fool.

Maeve was ashamed and resentful, but she pretended to be calm as she replied. "I was not avoiding you on purpose. I was just too busy."

"Liar. Byron exposed her coldly. "Dreamscape is only busy today. Do you think I don't know?"

"You're spying on me?"
