The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter

It could be seen that Alexis did not look down on her because of her background. Maeve's eyes felt a little sour for no reason.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't sad at all when she heard those people gossiping about her at the banquet and when she was the first one to be suspected of stealing the lost item.

She could not show it. Otherwise, those people would seize her weakness and attack her even more.

However, Maeve never expected that Alexis, who used to have the greatest opinion of her, would actually stand on her side.

"Thank you," Maeve said softly.

"Don't worry too much. Gilbert is sensible and loves you so much. He won't have any opinions about you just because of your background," Alexis comforted her. "However, Jason might bring up Laurel's last wish. This is something that can't be changed, so you might have to suffer for a while."

Alexis meant that engagement was fine, but marriage might be a little difficult.

Maeve understood what she meant. "We're not in a hurry to get married. It's too early to talk about this

"That's true. I can't interfere too much with your discussion," Alexis sighed.

She only hoped that her son and Maeve would be fine. This way, she could make up for the damage and debt she had caused him in the past. Maeve chatted with Alexis for a while. When he saw that Byron did not come downstairs for a long time, she could not help but go up to look for him. 'Don't get beaten up...

When she went over, the servant happened to come out after delivering water. Thinking that she was going in, the servant did not close the door tightly. Maeve walked to the door and was hesitating whether to knock and enter when she heard Byron's low and indifferent voice coming from inside.

"This is all temporary. It won't be long before I break off this relationship with her, so you don't have to worry."

"Have you thought about it? Have you discussed it with Maeve?"

"I've made up my mind."

Gilbert nodded. "Maeve's situation is different from before. She's at a disadvantage. I'm relieved that you think that way."

All the color drained from Maeve's face, which suddenly turned deathly pale. Her heart seemed to clench tightly, making it almost impossible for her to catch her breath.

She held on to the wall as she made her way downstairs. Her pace quickened, as if she were trying to escape some reality.

In the study, Gilbert let out a long sigh. "You've never seen your grandmother. It doesn't matter if you don't abide by her last -wish. I believe she will understand you."

A ripple appeared on Byron's calm and composed face. "Grandpa, I'm sorry."

easy for you to be together again. How can I be heartless enough to break you up? On the other hand, you're not the only one who has the final say
