The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 348

Maeve's heart melted at his sudden domineering actions. Her cheeks blushed under the dim light. It took her a long time to calm down. 'What do I have to say to him?'

Maeve's face looked conflicted. However, her heart softened when she thought about how he had just returned from a business trip yesterday but accompanied her to watch their son's performance. He also accompanied her until that night because of Theo's illness. After some thought, Maeve raised her slender arms and hugged Byron's neck. She raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips. "Mr. McDaniel, I know it's been hard on you to support your family."

Byron was slightly stunned. It was probably because Maeve rarely took the initiative to kiss him. With such a sudden kiss, his rationality began to blur.

Seeing Byron did not speak, Maeve thought a kiss was not enough. So, she endured the embarrassment in her heart and whispered something into his ear.

As soon as she finished speaking, Byron's eyes widened in surprise as he gulped. Maeve could feel his arm tightening around her waist, just like every intimate night in the past. Then, he lost control.

They had done this many times, yet Maeve would always be afraid of him. Not because she feared Byron would hurt her, but because of her feelings for him. But that night, she only wanted to make him happy.

Just as Maeve was ready, she suddenly felt something loosen around her waist. The tall figure before her was walking past to her left and sat beside her. Maeve looked at Byron puzzledly. His handsome face was against the light, and it was hard to guess what he was thinking. He seemed to be deep in his thought.

"It's getting late. Go to bed early," As Byron spoke, he tucked Maeve in and left the bedroom without looking back.

Maeve leaned against the pillow and looked at Byron's back. A huge question mark appeared in her mind. 'What's his deal? I'm already taking the initiative and he leaves? That's unusual.

Regardless, Byron wasn't feeling it that night. So, in a way, it was Maeve's victory. She flipped over and closed her eyes to sleep.

However, after half an hour, she sat up and sent a message to Bonnie: [Bonnie, are you asleep? I can't sleep.]

Bonnie, the night owl, was indeed awake. She replied to her almost instantly: [I'm here, Baby. Why can't you sleep? Isn't your child's play quite successful? I've already seen it on the trending searches!]

[Maeve: It's not about them, it's about Byron!]

[Bonnie: What did Mr. McDaniel do to make you unable to sleep? Oh, let me guess. Do you require some 'bed' advice?]
