The Heir's Secret Bride

Byron immediately realized that Maeve was talking about Byron in the future. His expression became even colder.

He took out two more eggs from the fridge as he wanted to try again.

Byron remembered to crack the eggs this time before putting them into the pan. However, there are some broken eggshells in the pan. He tried the third time, and the eggs were burnt.

The fourth time...

Maeve could not help but cover her face. "Byron, forget it. I'll do it."

After his attempts, she was convinced he didn't know how to cook.

She did not know how he developed his culinary skills later.

The kitchen was a huge mess.

Byron's face darkened when he heard her say that he couldn't cook. He said stiffly, "It's just frying an egg."

Who couldn't do it?

Maeve shut her mouth and left the

messy

kitchen.

Half an hour later, Byron brought the fried eggs to the dining table.

"Eat," he said coldly.

Maeve looked at the eggs that were slightly burnt and salivated. This looks good."

Byron did not say anything, but he looked arrogant.

Maeve took a bite. Although the eggs didn't have much taste as Byron might have forgotten to put salt, they tasted quite alight.

She put the fried eggs and vegetables in between two pieces of toast and added two pieces of sausage. Then she took a big bite. Seeing that Maeve was eating happily, Byron's cold expression softened a little.

After sitting down to eat, he frowned. "I forgot to add salt?"

"Even without salt, fried eggs are still quite delicious," Maeve comforted him. "You've already worked very hard. Although your culinary skills are not as superb as in the future, it's already not bad for you to be able to fry eggs for the first time. It was hard to tell if those words were meant to comfort or ridicule Byron.

Byron silently tightened his grip on the fork in his hand and made up his mind to never cook again in his life. After breakfast, Maeve asked Byron to accompany her to the hospital for a checkup regarding her pregnancy, 14:35 Sat, Jan 18

Byron who was not married or even had a girlfriend, had quickly progressed to having a pregnant wife.noveldrama

There was nothing more ridiculous than this.

He suddenly thought of something and was stunned for a moment. "Why didn't you say anything last night?"

Byron realized that when he threw Maeve onto the bed, he was not gentle.

Fortunately, the bed was very soft. Otherwise...

Byron felt a trace of lingering fear.

Maeve found it strange. "What should I say?"

"About your pregnancy."

Maeve was stunned for a moment before she burst out laughing

Before she gave birth to Joy, she had always gone to the hospital for checkups for her pregnancy. She got so used to it that she said the same thing now.

"Oops, I said the wrong thing. I'm going for an eye checkup. There's something wrong with my eyes recently"

Byron pursed his thin lips slightly. For a moment, he could not tell if he was feeling disappointed or something else.

Maeve said, "And we already have three children. I can't manage another one."

"Three?" Byron's eyes moved slightly. Then, he frowned. "Am I be so willful in the future?"

If he really loved Maeve, he wouldn't have given her so many problems.

Maeve understood what he meant, but she did not explain.

She took out her phone and showed him the photos of the three children.

"This is Will and Theo. They're twins and are always together. Will is the older brother. He's steady and reliable. Theo is easily excitable and loves to play pranks. This is Joy, who was born not long before our wedding. My father is taking care of her now. She's very obedient. She only cries when she's hungry."

"Will and Theo like their sister very much. One night when both dreamt that Joy was going to get married, they woke up to practice boxing. They are reluctant to part with Joy. Also..."

Maeve spoke gently and delicately. The things she told him were trivial but heartwarming.

However, Byron was attracted by her serious look. His gaze was still.

"Are you listening?" Maeve turned around and inadvertently met Byron's deep eyes. He smiled and said, "Isn't it incredible?" Byron probably could not imagine what kind of life he would have in the future. Maeve could see that he rejected the idea of marriage and having children. She knew why.

Hence, Maeve did not force him to be convinced. Instead, she le him see the possibility of the future with his own eyes

She thought, 'But...'

Maeve put away her phone and deliberately said, "The children are not yours. Why am I telling you so much?"

Byron was speechless and got frustrated again.

When they arrived at the hospital, Maeve didn't have to wait as she had an exclusive pass

for checkups.

Maeve's eyes were probably a little tired and inflamed because she had been staying up late recently.

The doctor advised her to spend less time on the phone and electronic devices. She had to rest more and use eye drops

In this era, it seemed nobody could stay away from their phones and other electronic devices.

Maeve nodded after what the doctor had said. As soon as she left the hospital, she took out her phone and watched a vid Then, Byron snatched the phone away.

"Are you ignoring what the doctor said?" Byron's voice was slightly displeased. "Your eyes are already inflamed, yet you're looking at the screen?" Maeve grabbed his wrist and said, "I'm just taking a look. The doctor said to reduce screen time and not put the devices aside totally."

"I said no." Byron put Maeve's phone in his other coat pocket, in an attempt to stop her from using her phone.

Maeve moved forward to snatch it, but he dodged to the side.

Suddenly, a modified motorcycle suddenly crashed into them as it went out of control.

Maeve was facing that direction. When she saw the motorcycle approaching, she couldn't speak. She had her subconscious instinct... She pushed Byron away forcefully.

When the motorcycle came at them, Byron quickly pulled her into his arms.

They managed to dodge the motorcycle as it crashed into the wall and stopped.

Maeve was so frightened that her legs went weak. She leaned her back against Byron's chest to prevent herself from falling. She was very pale.

Byron hurriedly checked with her. "Are you injured? Did you knock into anything?"

Maeve shook her head slowly and exhaled. "I'm fine. I was just shocked.

Byron was just about to heave a sigh of relief when his face turned cold again.

"Do you usually like to be a hero? How useless is he? Does he need a woman to protect him when he's in danger?"

Maeve was stunned by his reaction and did not understand what he was angry

about.

Byron felt frustrated. He did not know if it was because of Macves rasir actions or because...

He was jealous of that Byron.

"But he wasn't the only one I wanted to protect just now. You were there." Maeve understood why he was angry. She said in amusement, "Aren't you him?" Byron remained silent.

He didn't want to agree with Maeve. At least not now.

Therefore, he did not understand the relationship between Maeve and that Byron.

He did not understand why someone would be so stupid as to sacrifice their own life for another person.

This was completely different from what he had experienced in the past twenty years.

He felt that if he took a few more steps toward a relationship, it would lead him to an endless abyss.

However, Byron had to admit that he had been bewitched by some kind of emotion and was attracted to Maeve.
