The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 420

Chapter 420

After spitting out these words, Maeve Reese felt the frustration that had been piling up in her heart lately had eased up a bit.

She couldn't just shrug off what he'd said.

It was even less likely she could fib to her own heart.

She cared about it a lot.

Maeve Reese's words seemed hard to swallow for Byron Mcdaniel.

He looked at her serious and desolate expression and exhaled deeply. His voice was slightly suppressed. "Maeve, what on earth goes through your head usually? When did I say that I don't want to be engaged to you?"

If he didn't have any intention of marrying her, why would he go to all that trouble for a proposal ring? He rounded up all those world-famous designers and busted his butt to scrap and redo it.

Even with work keeping in swamped lately, he hadn't let the progress of the wedding ring slide. He made time to keep tabs

on it.

But what did Maeve Reese just say?

Since she'd brought it up, Maeve Reese was now throwing in the towel. "I overheard your chat with Gilbert Mcdaniel when I swung by the Mcdaniel family that day. You said you'd be splitting with me real soon, and Gilbert Mcdaniel was on board with your plan." He was the one who slapped the fiancée label on her.

In the end, he was also the one who despised her so much that he had calculated the time to end their relationship.

That made her feel like a measly little plaything that could be tossed aside whenever.

And what's worse,

it was the guy she had a thing for.

How could Maeve Reese not feel all wrong?
