The Heir's Secret Bride

With puppy eyes, Maeve stared at Byron. She asked, "Don't tell me your t

to make me cry?"

"I can do so if you want." Byron looked at her from head to toe as if he was considering where to attack her. He asked. "If I hit you, will you immediately cry?"

Maeve's eyes widened in disbelief. She gasped and asked, "Are you a pervert? You actually want to hit me?"

It had only been less than half a day since they last met. Maeve wondered what had happened to Byron in such a short time.

Byron snorted coldly. He grabbed both of Maeve's arms and pined her on the bed as though he was catching a thief.

Byron gently spanked her on the buttocks.

Maeve's pinkish-white hospital gown rustled because of Byron's spanking

Maeve's face was flushed red. Her lower body went numb from embarrassment, and she was frozen to her spot. "Byron, where are you hitting me?" She shouted angrily, "You pervert!"

"That's right." Byron casually straightened her body again. He looked straight into her eyes. "The next time you do something stupid like sacrificing yourself for others, you can expect even more perverted punishment from me." Maeve was at a loss for words. In

terms of shamelessness, she was indeed inferior to him

She defended herself begrudgingly. She said, "I was not sacrificing myself for others. If Aeolian died in front of me, it would bring me a lot of trouble. The Soar family has connections in the political world and military. It's best not to offend them if possible."

If something actually happened to Aeolian while she was with Maeve, the Soar family might not believe Maeve was innocent, even if Maeve was the one who was dragged into the mess.

In order to avoid trouble, Maeve saved Aeolian. She did so based on practical interests, and it had nothing to do with personal feelings.

You don't have to be afraid even if you offend them," Byron said calmly. "I will protect you no matter what. A piece of trash raised by the Soar family is not worth you sacrificing your own safety to protect

Maeve was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat and turned to mush. She reached out her bandaged hands to hug him. Maeve teased, "Byron, you're so awkward. Can't you just admit you were worried about me?" Byron refused to admit it. "I'm not worried about you. Don't flatter yourself."

Maeve continued, "I see. Then you should push me away now and stop concerning yourself with me

Triggered by her provocation. Byron grabbed her chin and wanted to show her that he was not that good-tempered a man to be teased in such a fashion.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

When Maeve saw Byron being turned off by this interruption, she almost laughed out loud. She barely managed to hold it

She figured she shouldn't provoke him further.

She said, "Come in."novelbin

Zephyr pushed the door open and entered the room. He saw Byron caressing Maeve's chin affectionately. He was momentarily stunned by the scene.

For no apparent reason, uneasiness welled up inside him.

Maeve pushed Byron's hand away and sat up straight. She asked Mr. Soar, what's the matter?"

Zephyr suppressed the uneasiness he felt. He put on a gentle smile and said, "I came here to thank you. I heard from Aeolian that it's all thanks to you saving her this time that she was spared from harm."

As he spoke, he saw Maeve's hands that were wrapped in bandages. He looked worried and asked, "Are you seriously injured? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"It's alright. It's just fractures. Maeve had no intention of acting pitiful, but she did not want to brush it off too casually either. She stated, "I believe the gratitude would be more sincere if it came from Aeolian herself

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you are worthy of Aeglian thanking you? I saw how you bullied her," Adam interrupted them rudely.

He walked in wearing his black hiking outfit. When he wasn't smiling, his eyebrows were lowered, giving off an imposing

aur

Byron raised his eyebrows and looked at this uninvited guest indifferently.

Byron emanated a cold aura that overwhelmed Adam, who was deliberately trying to intimidate Marve.

At the same time, Zephyr chastised, "Adam, do you know what you're saying? This is not the place for you to throw a tantrum. Apologize to Ms. Reese."

"Zephyr. I saw her bullying Aeolian with my own eyes. Adam was dissatisfied that Zephyr was siding with Maeve. Under the pressuring gaze of Byron, Adam slowly said, "If I hadn't discovered them in time, Aeolian would have been tortured to death by her." Adam had clearly heard Acolian's scream in the forest, and Aeolian was indeed injured all over her body,

Although Aeolian explained that she had grazed herself when she was hiding from the kidnappers and hanging off the cliff, Adam interpreted it as Maeve not only having bullied his sister, but also hung her, who was afraid of heights, off the cliff. This was tantamount to murder.

Maeve knew Adam looked familiar. She thought, Isn't he the man in black I met in the wooden house last time?

She didn't have a good impression of him to begin with, and now she was even more disgusted by him.:

Maeve retorted, "Sir, I think you're being ridiculous. You haven't even figured out what happened and you're slandering me with your imagination. No one who has graduated from high school would say such retarded words."

Maeve's retort instantly infuriated Adam.

Adam shouted, "Who are you calling retarded?"

"You, of course." Macve sneered "You said that 1 tortured your sister, so why don't you bring her here and let her confront me face to face? Let's see if what you said is true and that you are not just slandering me. Is there any difference between you and the keyboard warriors on the Internet?"

The members of the Soar family were all born with silver spoons Countless people curried favor with them.

Moreover, Adam was used to being the commander since he was young. No one dared to point fingers at him.

Other than Gale, Maeve was the only person who chided Adam

After being mocked by Maeve, Adam was so angry that his face visted in anger. "Aeolian was threatened by you. Of course, she doesn't dare to say anything

"Enough!" Zephyr frowned, and his tone became serious. "When lid you become so morally bankrupt? Or do you think that Ms. Reese and I worked together to threaten Acolian and force er to acknowledge Ms. Reese as her savior?"

"Zephyr, that's not what I meant." Facing Zephyr, who was quite well-regarded in the Soar family, Adam immediately toned down his attitude. "I didn't doubt you,"

"You can't simply suspect others. We're here to thank Ms. Reese, not to make an enemy of her." Zephyr's smile disappeared. and the pressure he emanated became even stronger.

Zephyr did not want to scold Adam too harshly in front of outsiders, but he did not want to leave the impression that the Soar family members were uneducated.

Adam was very stubborn. He had been like this since he was young. Once he set his mind on something, he would not budge.

Asking Adam to apologize to someone he hated was worse than asking him to die

Adam turned around and left.

Zephyr said to Maeve apologetically, "Ms. Reese, I'm sorry for upsetting you. After Aeolian's fever subsides, we'll come over to thank you officially. Please forgive our discourtesy." Maeve replied, "Alright."

Soon after Zephyr left, Byron left the ward.

About ten minutes later, he returned.
