The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 65 thoughts.

Maeve returned to her room uneasily and fell asleep while waiting for Byron's message. She only woke up at dusk. She subconsciously reached for the phone beside her pillow and opened the empty message interface. Her eyes grew dimmer until she beclost in her Byron did not reply to her message for the entire day. Not even a phone call. Perhaps he had forgotten, or perhaps he didn't want to accompany her to do such a boring thing. From his standpoint, whatever he did was reasonable. Still, Maeve didn't know why he would agree in the first place. Maeve buried her face in the pillow, her fists clenched so tightly her knuckles turned pale.

At this moment, she heard voices coming from outside the door Among them was a blurry young man's voice. Maeve raised her head at once. Her eyes lit up again with undisguised surprise. She hastily put on her fluffy slippers and trotted out of the ted out of the room. Maeve eve followed the voices to the living room. When she saw Jett sitting on a chair chatting with Scott, her smile instantly disappeared. "Why are you here?" She frowned at Jeff, the rejection in her eyes obvious. The last tinte she went to the Graves family and exposed what Jeff had done, he had never appeared in front of her again. She wondered what he wanted to do this tFor sreason, Jeff smiled gently at Maeve, "When Valda fainted at home, I was the one who sent her to the hospital. Can't I visit her?" These words ended Maeve's thoughts of chasing Jeff away. The strange feeling in her heart intensified. She did not think Jeff was so helpful.

"Is that so? Thank you very much, Maeve said indifferently and was about to return to her room.

Scott stopped Maeve. "Maeve, your mother went to buy groceries. I have a few work calls. Helpentertain our guest first.

Seeing through Scott's intentions, Maeve said calmly, I'm afraid not. I'm going back to the city center now. I still have work to finish tonight." She had planned to stay until after dinner, but now it seemed there was no need. 't you going to have dinner? Your mother went to buy groceries," Scott said disapprovingly.

"Aren't y Don't worry.

I'll cback to see you guys another day." With any hesitation, Maeve returned to her room to get her things. and left.

Scott could not stop Maeve. He said to Jeff apologetically, "Mr. Graves, sorry for making you cfor nothing. They were too anxious.

Jeff wasn't angry. After what happened last time, he seemed to have calmed down a lot. "I didn't expect Maeve to forgiveimmediately, but as long as her marriage isn't real, Ell have a chance to make her change her mind." "Of course," Scott hurriedly said, "We were only suspicious at first, but Maeve's so-called husband never showed up. He hasn't even called us. That's why we're sure that she is lying to us. The man you saw at my daughter's house earlier might be an actor she hired." The reason why Maeve said her husband was too busy and could not cout was most likely because the actor was afraid of exposing himself and went back on his word at the last minute Jeff looked satisfied. "I'll have to ask you for help with Maeve andin the future. When we marry, it won't be a problem for you to get promoted." Scott smiled broadly, "Don't worry, Mr. Graves.

1/3 Fri, Oct 18 Chapter 65 68% Downstairs, before Maeve could leave the neighborhood, Jeff caught up to her. "Maeve, I drove here. I'm returning to the city center too. Shall I give you a ride?" he asked solicitously. Maeve ignored Jeff and walked straight ahead.

Jeff was not angry. "It's not easy to get a taxi here. You may have to wait for stime. It's almost dark. I want to send you off. I promise I won't do anything else," "No need." Maeve's eyes were indifferent. "I don't need you to send me. I just want you to stay away from me.' She would never forget about the camera and the indecent photoshop, If you still bear a grudge againstfor Maeve looked at him mockingly. But what I did to you before, letapologize Jell's tone was sincere. "I was blinded by greed and did many shameful things before. I'm sorry. You can punishhowever you want. Now, I just want to be friends with you again." into I'm not interested in being friends with someone who has repeatedly broken the law and only knows how to force women into doing what he wants." With that, Maeve got i taxi and left.. a Jeff stood on the spot and breathed in a mouthful of car exhaust. His face turned ashen.

Night fell. Maeve returned to the apartment. It was pitch-black inside. It was obvious that Byron had not yet returned. She looked in the direction of the master bedroom in a daze, her emotions indescribable. Her intuition told her that Byron would not stand her up for no reason, nor would he disappear for an entire day without replying to her message. Moreover, the work he did looked ordinary, but it was very dangerous. Maeve wondered if something had happened to him. She could not sit still. She picked up her phone and called Byron. She would continue to call him until he picked up. She was really worried.

After calling repeatedly for half an hour, her phone grew so hot that it was about to run out of battery. Maeve becmore and more anxious. She stood, wanting to go out to look for Byron even though she didn't even know where his company was.

At this moment, the call that was about to automatically hang up was answered. "Hello?" Maeve's eyes lit up and she quickly brought the phone to her ear "Mr. Mcdaniel? Is that you? Are you alright? I thought..." "I'm sorry." The voice on the other end of the phone was not Byron, but Karen's gentle voice. "Byron is taking a shower and doesn't have tto answer your call. What's up?" These words made Macve feel as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head, chilling her from head to toe. She opened her mouth, but her voice seemed stuck in her throat
