The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 488

If Clem heard that, he would probably have to wear sunglasses to talk to her freely in the future, thought Maeve again.

Maeve complained inwardly but answered, "He's an older friend from my neighbor when I was young."

"Oh. Byron narrowed his eyes. His cold tone was ambiguous as he said, "Childhood sweethearts."

On the surface, his voice was as calm as the sea level, without any fluctuations.

In fact, his palm, which gripped the back of Maeve's neck, was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, silently venting his dissatisfaction.

"No..." Maeve's voice was muffled. The back of her waist was weak from his grip. She wanted to avoid his hand but could not escape his strong shackles. She was like a pitiful, helpless, and immobile cat.

"He's just a childhood playmate. His family moved away in less than two years, and we lost contact. We met again two years ago when we were abroad. He helped me a lot. We happened to meet here tonight, so we chatted a little more." It was Clem who helped them when they couldn't get out.

Only then would they rekindle their childhood friendship and interact more.

However, Clem was busy. He was in Chris Continent most of the time. They rarely saw each other throughout the year.

You have a crush in the past and a childhood sweetheart. Ms. Reese, your love history is so rich." Byron lowered his eyes and asked casually. "When will you teach me?"

"I've said we're not childhood sweethearts," Maeve said unhappily. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked up at him to ask, "Byron, are you... jealous?"

Thinking carefully, every word he said just now seemed to have a strong smell of jealousy. It's just that I was caught off guard and my thinking was dull for a while, so I didn't notice it, thought Maeve.

Byron's eyes suddenly darkened as soon as she said so.

It was as if he could see the signs Maeve was about to push her luck.

He let go of the hand holding the back of her neck and slowly straightened his upper body. Together with the pressure that was approaching Maeve, he gradually distanced himself.

Maeve stared at him intently, trying to get a clue from his expression.

However, when Byron realized he had lost his composure, the true emotions he revealed were quickly hidden deep in his heart. Then, he put on a casual expression.

"Interesting. Byron retorted. "You're my fiancée, but you've been in close contact with other men. Do you think I don't have the right to verify it?"
