The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter

402

As soon as Maeve finished speaking, the atmosphere in the ward visibly froze.

Byron keenly noticed the abnormality in her emotions. His handsome face gradually darkened, and his frown deepened. "It's my problem to make you have such an illusion, but I need to correct something. Even though we're divorced, I've always treated you as my wife. I won't equate such insulting words like bed partner with you."

Maeve's eyelashes trembled slightly. She was almost convinced by his words, but she still hardened her heart. "I don't think this has anything to do with what I'm saying. Maybe you're just used to me being by your side, and that's not what I want." "So, you plan to break up with me?" Byron's voice turned cold.

Maeve did not answer. She only took half a step back. "I need some time to think about how I should view our relationship."

With that, she suppressed the sorrow in her heart and turned to leave.

Byron followed the footsteps in the direction she left. It was as if there was a layer of black clouds around him, and even the light in the room seemed to have become gloomy.

He knew exactly what Maeve wanted. It was just that he couldn't give it to her now.

After leaving the hospital, Maeve had yet to calm down from the cold wind when she suddenly received a call from the Mcdaniel family's.

The servant told her that Gilbert had been talking about her recently. He wanted to call her over for a meal, but he was afraid of disturbing her work. Recently, he had been in low spirits and had eaten very little dinner. Maeve felt a little guilty. She had been too busy recently to visit Grandpa Gilbert.

She had originally planned to stay behind to accompany Byron tonight, but she did not expect things to turn out like this.

It couldn't really be considered a quarrel. From beginning to end, they were both very rational, even when they were having an argument.

However, whenever she thought that Byron was willing to be completely honest with Serena, an outsider, but refused to face the problems together with her.

She just couldn't be rational. She had even almost blurted out the word 'breakup' just now.

Retracting her thoughts, Maeve asked the servant if Gilbert was resting now. If not, she would go over now.

After getting a negative answer, Maeve went to the shop to buy some gifts and drove to the Mcdaniel family's old residence.

The car suddenly stopped halfway up the mountain.
