Secret Bride 451

Chapter 451

"Mommy!"

"Mom!"

Before anyone else could react, two little boys raced over, throwing their arms around Maeve's legs like they never wanted to let go.

"Mommy, you're okay now. She can't hurt you anymore!" Theo said, his tiny voice brimming with determination. "Don't worry, we will protect you."

Will nodded firmly. "Daddy's not here, but we are. We won't let anyone treat you badly."

And they had. If not for them, Maeve would've been dragged off by the royal guards, accused of a crime she didn't commit. Fiora would've been in a hospital bed, faking injuries and spinning lies to ruin Maeve's life.

Even if the truth came out later, the damage to Maeve's reputation would've been done.

Being the daughter of a wanted criminal already made life tough. Add accusations of attempted murder, and her future would've been in shambles.

That was why the boys hadn't come to her right away. Instead, they found the surveillance footage to prove Fiora was lying.

Maeve felt her throat tighten, her eyes stinging with unshed tears. She dropped to her knees and pulled them close, wrapping them in a fierce hug.

"I'm sorry," she murmured, her voice barely audible.

She was their mom. She should be the one protecting them, not the other way around. Yet here they were, defending her.

And tonight, they had even endured Fiora's venomous words because of her.

Hearing her apology, both boys looked alarmed. Theo's small face scrunched up as he protested, his voice cracking with urgency. "Mommy, you didn't do anything wrong! Don't say sorry! It's our fault for not keeping you safe. That crooked witch just caught us off guard!"
