The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 418

Just when Theo had made up his mind, Byron suddenly said to him, "I want to give you a hug."

The little guy stared at him blankly, Before he could even react, he had already been scooped into Byron's arms.

A father's embrace was very different from a mother's.

One was gentle, the other was firm.

One was soft, the other was tough.

They carried similar yet different kinds of strength.

It wasn't the first time Theo had been hugged by Byron, but he had always been hugged while pretending to be Will, so he hadn't really felt much about it before. But this time...

Two patches of red blush rose on Theo's face, and he rarely felt a bit embarrassed.

Maeve's nose tingled with a touch of sourness. She had envisioned this scene many times before, but never dared to expect it would actually come true. Unexpectedly, it had actually come to pass at this very moment.

It seemed that... she had always underestimated Byron.

"Call me daddy?" Byron stroked Theo's round little head. His tone unconsciously softened a little with a distant gentleness.

Theo's ears were hot, but his tone was very arrogant. "I haven't even admitted that you're my daddy. Mommy didn't agree either."

'Is that so?'

Byron glanced at Maeve with his dark eyes. He did not say anything, but she instantly understood what he meant.

He would settle her scores later.

Maeve's heart trembled. She heard him ask, "What's your opinion?"

Maeve laughed dryly under the pressure of his gaze. "I'll listen to Theo. His thoughts are the most important."

The little guy was still angry at him. She would not help Byron.
