The Heir's Secret Bride

Maeve also wanted to know if her cutting-edge phobia was cured so she went to Jaxson Counseling Room on the day Bonnie made an appointment for her.

Jaxson let her lie on the chair and took out his pocket watch to hypnotize her. "Relax your body and empty your mind. Don't think about anything and follow my voice..."

After about ten minutes, Jaxson looked at Maeve who was snoring, and fell into deep thought. I seemed to be hypnotizing her, not urging her to sleep. How did she manage to sleep?" Jaxson rubbed the retro patterns on his pocket watch with a depressed expression. "This is the second time the hypnosis has failed. What's wrong with this woman?'

After waking up, Maeve sat in a daze for a while before coming back to her senses and thanking Jaxson, "Dr. Jaxson, your hypnosis is really amazing. I actually didn't feel anything." Jaxson's lips twitched. "I'm not as amazing as you."

Maeve did not hear his mockery and hesitated. "What's the result? Is my psychological problem still there?"

Jaxson, who had been listening to her snoring for two hours, pursed his lips and said expressionlessly, "Yes, remember to come for a follow-up next time."

Maeve nodded. She asked to use the bathroom and went in to wash her face.

"Jaxson, what should I do?" A familiar female voice slipped in through the gap of the door.

Maeve took a tissue and gently sucked the water off her face. When she heard the sound, she looked out.

Aeolian stood in front of Jaxson with a troubled expression. "I used to really dislike her, thinking she was no different from those women who only flirt with men. But after last time, I've started feeling strangely different." Jaxson took a sip of coffee. "What's different?"

"I... whenever I think of her now, I'll blush and my heart will race!" said Aeolian.

"Huh?" Jaxson was surprised.

Aeolian said, "I want to formally apologize to her and be friends, but I can't find her anywhere. These past few days, I've been so distracted, just worrying about whether she hates me or doesn't want to deal with me anymore. Jaxson, what should I do?" Jaxson fell silent. 'Are you sure you want to be friends with Maeve and not date her? This sounds like the sentiments of a lovesick girl, completely lost in her thoughts to the point of forgetting to eat and drink.

"You're relying on her temporarily after she saved you. You'll be fine after a while." Jaxson stuffed his hands into his pockets. "You don't have to come to me for a consultation."

Aeolian felt that he was a little cold but could not understand why.

At this moment, Maeve came out of the washroom.

When Aeolian saw Maeve, her face instantly turned red. At the same time, she hid behind Jaxson.

Maeve didn't understand. 'Do I look like a monster?'

Jaxson rubbed his eyebrows and said to Aeolian in a low voice, "Don't you want to see her? Go"

"... I'm so embarrassed," Aeolian stammered. By the time she plucked up the courage to walk out, Maeve was long gone.

"Jaxson!" Acolian looked like she wanted to cry. "Maeve really doesn't want to see me!" She was so sad.

Jaxson was not very interested in this kind of girl's thoughts. He waved his hand and let her go.

Maeve was caught up by Aeolian in front of the elevator.

"Maeve..." Acolian stood two steps away from Maeve nervously and shyly. Her heart was beating so fast. "Thank you for saving me last time. I've always wanted to thank you officially, but I couldn't find you." Maeve pressed the elevator button and said calmly, "No need."

"Have you recovered from your injuries?" asked Aeolian.

Maeve replied, "Yeah."

Aeolian hesitated and said, "Adam misunderstood you that day. His tone was too harsh. I apologize to you on his behalf.

"No need. An apology is more sincere when delivered in person. Besides, given that Adam lacks even basic manners, I don't expect to hear that word from him," Maeve said bluntly.

Aeolian immediately blushed and felt extremely awkward. "Then I won't apologize on his behalf. I want to apologize to you myself. Whether it's because I targeted you previously or because I peeked at your phone and did those things... I'm very sorry. You can get it back however you want. I'll accept it."

Maeve looked at her in surprise. 'Can pigs fly? This young lady is actuall

Has she changed?'

SO polite. And it didn't look like it was for show.

"There's no need for that. This is a separate matter. You've apologized." Maeve did not lower her guard. The best solution was to stay away from Aeolian. 'We have yet to investigate the murder. Who knows if it was really Aeolian who did it?'

Aeolian still wanted to take this opportunity to go further with Maeve. Seeing Maeve's cold expression, she could only give up for the time being.

After leaving the building, Maeve waited by the roadside for the bodyguards to drive over. She saw a video playing on the LED screen of the building opposite. The face that appeared on it... was Molly!

Molly lay on the hospital bed and weakly explained to the camera how she had met Byron in the past and the fact that Maeve was a mistress.noveldrama

The main figures in the topic were a multinational corporation CEO and an up-and-coming fashion designer, both of whom had fueled significant buzz, climbing steadily up the trending topics list. Meanwhile, the topic "Maeve is a homewrecker" continues to dominate the topics list. Most netizens tended to jump to conclusions based in rumors, and with Molly lying incapacitated in a hospital bed, coming forward to expose their plight had stirred sympathy in many people.

People who passed by Maeve recognized her and pointed at her. "It's her. She really has the qualifications to be a mistress. I wonder how... she's in bed." 15:41 Wed, Jan 15 G

"She really doesn't know her place. I wonder how much it will cost to buy her for a night."

Maeve furrowed her brows and turned to face the two men with foul mouths, "What did you say? Louder."

The bodyguards who had rushed here silently stood behind her and looked at the two men with murderous eyes.

The two of them immediately cowered and ran away without saying a word.

"Miss Soar, please get in the car." One of the bodyguards opened the car door, and the other escorted Maeve into the car.

Maeve took one last look at the LED screen. The video had been taken down before it finished playing and replaced with a celebrity endorsement.

She got into the car, and her cell phone rang.

When she saw that Byron was calling, Maeve's nose twitched slightly. She did not pick up his call in a fit of pique. She admitted that she was a little angry with him.

Molly had been dwelling on this matter, accusing Maeve of being the third party interfering between Molly and Byron. Although Byron had already drawn a'clear line with Molly, Maeve still minded what Molly said and the fact that they had shared a brief, intimate moment that no one else could intrude upon.

She knew that this was an established fact that could not be changed, and she had no intention of making Byron forget that. She was just a little jealous. Perhaps it was more than a little.

The phone in her hand kept vibrating. Maeve looked out the window and an old sign flashed past her eyes.

Without thinking, she blurted out, Stop the car! Rewind to the front!"
