The Heir's Secret Bride

Byron sat at the head of the bed and flipped through a document that would be used tomorrow. Hearing Maeve, he did not even look up as he said, "If my mom wants a divorce, the Mcdaniel Group's legal team has a 90% chance of helping her get Jason to leave with

nothing."

"Does Alexis know?" asked Maeve.

"Yes. We've talked about it before."

Maeve was even more puzzled. "Then, why hasn't Alexis divorce Mr. Mcdaniel yet? Does she have any concerns?"

'Byron does not object to it as her son. Alexis still does not mention divorce. It could only be for personal reasons. However, Alexis doesn't look like she still has feelings for Jason when she retorts him, thought Maeve.

Byron closed the document and faintly explained, "Probably because my mom is more sentimental."

Then he glanced at Maeve, who had misunderstood what he meant. "It's not what you think. My mom was engaged to someone else when she was young, but the man disappeared shortly before they were to get their marriage license, leaving my pregnant mom to face the rumors alone. Later on, my mom married Jason."

His brief words carried a lot of information.

Maeve was stunned. She did not expect Alexis, domineering and elegant, to have such a sad past.

Women who got pregnant before marriage were severely criticized in those days. Just talking alone could kill them.

Jason had married Alexis to protect her at that time. No wonder Alexis hated him so much now and had never mentioned divorce him.

Maeve wanted to ask where the child had gone, but a shadow suddenly covered his eyes.

Byron put down the document and leaned over. He put his arm through the back of her neck and half carried her up. "That's the end of the bedtime story. It's my turn to collect interest."

The skin under her clothes suddenly felt cold. Maeve grabbed his downward arm in panic. "Wait... You didn't say you wanted to collect interest on this."

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Similarly, there's no such thing as a free story."

""But...but I don't want to..."
