The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 283

Maeve instinctively grabbed the door frame. "Wait! No! Don't go into my house!"

She was worried that Byron would see Theo without a disguise.

"What?" Her reaction aroused a trace of suspicion in Byron. "Is there something in there that can't be seen?"

living room is in a mess right now, | left a bunch of my undergarments untied. Of course, | have to avoid arousing

suspicion!" Maeve blurted out in a hurry. Hearing this, Byron lowered his long and narrow eyes and looked at her

with a probing gaze. "What did you do with Tom inside just now?

Only then did Maeve realize that her words could easily cause misunderstandings, especially since Tom Hum had

just left her house

"It's Leo's personal clothes, not mine!" Maeve broke out in a cold sweat. "What are you thinking about?"

The kid's here too?"

"Of course! His mommy returned to Erancia a while ago and entrusted him toto take care of," Maeve said

calmly.

Byron's

s expression softened. "Go to my place."

Maeve did not have a choice. To prevent him from entering her apartment, she could only follow him to the other

side. After entering, she looked around. "Is Will not here?"

He's taking a shower, Byron answered casually. He walked to the sofa and sat down. "Chere."

Maeve pursed her lips and walked over reluctantly.

She wanted to sit f

sit further away from

him, but as soon as she approached, he held her wrist and forced her to sit in front of him.

He didn't give her any chance to say no.

Maeve squirmed uncomfortably a a few times, but he grabbed her waist and warned, "Don't move."

Her cheeks puffed up slightly as she thought. This domineering tyrant!

In order to make the wound on her knee feel better, Maeve specially changed into a loose knitted dress.

At this moment, the hem of her skirt was rolled up above her knees, revealing two straight and slender calves.

Her skin was soft and delicate.

It made the bruise on her knee look especially terrifying.

Byron's eyes were dark. "Is this what you meant by healed?"

Maeve scratched her cheek in embarrassment. She had said it to brush him off. She didn't expect that he would

inspect it He was even more concerned than her father. "Givethe medicine, Byron said in a deep voice.

"The doctor asked you to rub the clotted blood away with the ointment. Who asked you to apply it?"

Recalling the pain when the doctor massaged her knee in the afternoon, Maeve silently took out the ointment

from her pocket and handed it to Byron.

If she did it herself, she would definitely cut corners since she was afraid of the pain

Byron closed his eyes. He rubbed the hot ointment on his palm and covered her knees. His movements were just

right.

His technique was a little rusty, but the steps were no different from what the doctor had done.

However, that meant t the pain Ma

Maeve felt was no different from when the doctor did it.

In the beginning. Maeve could still tolerate it, but towards the end, she could not help but gasp softly.

Byron asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Maeve was in so much pain that she could not speak. The corners of her eyes were red as she nodded.

Byron slowed down and looked up at her. "Then should we do something else to divert your attention?"

"Do what?" Maeve was confused.

Byron chuckled softly. He used his free hand to wrap around the back of her neck and pressed the back of her

head close to him. His voice gradually bechoarse. This." He lowered his head and pressed his warm lips on

hers. Maeve's

e's eyes widened slightly, and her heart thumped like a drum. Fine electric currents attacked her entire body.

She reacted and tried to push him away, but he gently pinched the soft flesh at the back of her neck and twisted

it with his fingertips.

That was Maeve's sensitive spot. It instantly removed the strength she had to struggle.

Probably because of the ointment, her knee started to heat up, and even her body temperature started to rise.

She didn't know if it was out of anger or embarrassment

"Has he ever been like this with you?" Byron asked Maeve in a hourse voice as he moved half an inch away.

Maeve's eyes

Byron's thin lips curled up. He lowered his head and kissed her lips again. His voice was a little muffled. "Very

good." Maeve thought, 'Are you done yet?"

She gripped Byron's sleeve tightly and secretly wanted to bite his tongue to teach him a lesson.

However, she had done this too many times. Byron did not give her a chance to succeed this time.

Instead, he bit the tip of her tongue threateningly and sucked it

Maeve's ears suddenly turned red. She whimpered and buried her face in his neck, refusing to raise her head

again

Maeve did not want to talk to him. She did not want him to find out that she was shy. She closed her eyes to

calm the panic and helplessness in her heart. She thought, | shouldn't be like this with him. What the hell am |

doing?" Thinking of this, Maeve slowly calmed down.

"Dad, Mom... Maeve, what are you doing?" A puzzled little voice cfrom behind the sofa.

Maeve and Byron turned their heads at the stand saw Will resting his two small hands on the back of

the sofa and blinking his round eyes at them./ Maeve was shocked at first, then she subconsciously covered her

knees with a pillow. "Will, when did you cout?"

"Just now" Will would not tell her that he had seen everything because he knew that Maeve would be shy.

She thought, | must be crazy to cover with Byron!

"You should go to bed. You still have to report to the kindergarten tomorrow morning," Byron said in tto avoid

Maeve's

embarrassment.

During this period of time, Will's body had been recuperating well. It was tfor him to return to school.

Will could tell that Byron was trying to send him away, but he still obediently said, "Okay. Good night, Daddy,

Good night, Maeve."

Will glanced at Maeve reluctantly before walking back to his roam

If you're busy. I'll send Will to kindergarten on my way to send Theo off."

Are you busy to thought. "You like Will very much?"

Maeve thought, "Of course | do!" |

She said conservatively, "It's alright. He is quite cute."

Byron raised his eyebrows noncommittally and put on the ointment. He stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my

hands. You stay here for a while." Maeve was about to nod when she suddenly realized that there was something

wrong with his words.

She thought, | am not a child. Why can't | stay by myself?

She pouted indignantly. When she tidied her skirt, she realized that there was sointment on it. She turned

around to look for a tissue box. where is the tissue box?" Maeve looked around but did not see it, so she went to

the drawer under the table to see if there was any. "Strange,

A warm apricot-colored diamond-studded brocade box that was placed in the drawer appeared before her eyes.
