The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 308

Byron let out a soft snicker as if amused by Maeve's needless worries. "Grandpa's being discharged today. He wants me to bring you to the Mcdaniel family dinner." "Me?" Maeve hesitated. "A family dinner? Won't I feel a bit out of place?"

Besides, Alexis and Jason had never really taken to her. She didn't particularly enjoy trying to win over people who were cold to her. Especially after learning that Will's numerous kidnappings were directly caused by Jason, a burning anger had been festering inside her.

It was easier to avoid them altogether. If she saw him, she might not be able to hold back her anger.

"Will's going to be there too," Byron added.

Maeve replied, "Then I guess I'll go."

Whether or not she was part of the family didn't matter much, but the Mcdaniel family's five-star chef made dishes that were worth the visit.

Unfortunately, it meant poor little Theo would have to fend for himself again tonight.

At the Mcdaniel family mansion, in the dining room.

Will, who had been sitting patiently, immediately jumped up from his seat when he saw Maeve and Byron enter. He rushed over to pull out a chair for Maeve. Byron, who was just about to do the same, paused mid-action.

Maeve smiled and patted Will's head. "Thank you, Will."

Will returned the gesture with a sweet smile. Instead of returning to his previous seat, Will took the chair right next to Maeve's.

Byron was a bit annoyed that his seat was taken. If this brown-noser knew this was his mother, he'd probably cling to Maeve all day.
