The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 525 Chapter 525

'No wonder he thought of me as Molly. Is he asking me this to confirm if he slept with the wrong person last night? At the thought of this, Maeve almost couldn't breathe. She heard her voice as if it had been pulled out of her body. It was flat and hoarse. "No." She wasn't anyone's substitute.

Even he couldn't use this to hurt her again.

Upon hearing her answer, Byron's heart sank. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the edge of the bowl, and obvious light green blood vessels even appeared on the back of his hand 'How can it not be Maeve?' Byron did not waver in the slightest until he heard her answer with his own ears.

Sight and hearing could be blinded. The familiarity when they were having sex would not lie.

However, there was no need for Maeve to lie.

"Are you sure?" Byron's eyes were fixed on her face. It was as if a dark tide was silently engulfing the bottom of the deep sea. It was even more shocking.

When his face darkened, he always gave off an unapproachable coldness, especially at this moment.

Maeve lowered her eyes. The fatigue on her face perfectly covered up her mockery. "If I didn't leave back then, you have called security. Could I have stayed there? Do you think I'm cheap?" would

Now that she thought about it, he was probably in a hurry to chase her away because he thought she was too much of a hindrance.

"That is true. Since he asked me to break off the engagement for a tie, what else can he not do? He probably doesn't make a sudden decision, but has been preparing for a long time.' Maeve thought. Maeve's throat was filled with bitterness. She did not want to look at Byron anymore and closed her eyes to sleep.

Byron sat there stiffly. His strong jawline was infinitely taut.

There was a ball of depression in his chest that did not dissipate, dyeing his long and narrow eyes even darker.

After a long time, when his arm that was holding the medicine bowl was slightly numb, he pulled himself out of his long thoughts. His gaze was glued to Maeve, as if he had made a decision. "Maeve. Open your eyes and look at me. I have something to tell you."

Maeve did not open her eyes. Her head was leaning against the pillow, and her breathing was light. He couldn't tell if she was asleep.

There was a moment of struggle in Byron's heart. Perhaps it was better to hide it from her.

However, his pride and rationality did not allow him to do so.

Byron was about to speak again when Maeve suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him steadily. "I've already thought it through. Let's cancel the engagement," she said. Byron's expression suddenly changed.
