    Immediately after, Byron pounced on Maeve. He grabbed her slender wrists with one hand and pressed them above her head. His gazended on her face, dark and deep


    "What are you doing? Let go of me. Maeve panicked when she was stared at She twisted and struggled ufortably, wanting to escape from his shackles.


    "Don''t you think I only use you as a bedmate? I''ll show you what it means to be a bedrnate." Byron''s handsome face was cold. His long fingers directly lifted the sweater jacket on her body and reached in. The temperature of his skin was slightly cold, and Maeve could not help but tremble slightly. The fear and panic in her eyes became stronger and stronger.


    Hearing her cry. Byron''s movements froze. He frowned in frustration. "Why are you crying?"


    Maeve cried very hard. Her shoulders twitched. "The Byron I like wouldn''t do this to me


    The short sentence instantly pulled Byron back from the brink of losing his rationality. He slowly took his hand out of her clothes.


    "I thought you didn''t like me anymore?" He stared at her face, which was flushed from crying, and his voice sounded a little ufortable.


    Maeve sniffed. "How did you know?"


    The anger that gathered in Byron''s chest seemed to have been scratched by something and dissipated like mist.


    Then, an unfamiliar heat surged out of his heart, and it even swelled a little.


    Although he had made her cry, his mood had surprisingly improved.


    "Don''t cry." Byron frowned as he tidied her clothes. His calloused fingers gently rubbed the corner of her eyes. "I won''t touch you''


    Maeve covered her eyes with her hand and retorted, "You''re already treating me as your bedmate. Do you believe your own words?"


    Byron clicked his tongue and hugged her slender waist. His voice was low and deep. Tm your bed partner. I''ll be on call in the future. Is that enough?" Maeve stopped crying and looked at him in a daze with her mouth open..


    She thought, ''Did Byron actually say that? Did I hear wrongly?"


    "Really?" she asked, unable to stop herself.


    "Yes, this is a gentleman''s promise," Byron said calmly, "I will be at your service at any time


    As long as she didn''t cry, he was willing to do that.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Maeve was amused by his tone. The nervousness and fear in her heart also subsided


    She was suddenly convinced that he did not really see her as a toy or a bed partner. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have sacrificed so much to make her happy.


    Even though he was very unfamiliar with doing it, she could fee it.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that she was forced to have a miscarriage four years ago, Maeve would probably have gone soft


    Byron lowered his head and saw her staring at him in a daze. She looked like she thought she was hiding it very well, but her thoughts were all exposed on her face. He raised his eyebrows slightly. "You don''t believe me? Do you need me to prove it to you?"


    Maeve looked at the cold chest in front of her and shook her head hurriedly. "No need, no need!"


    "Do you still think I''m just using you as a bed partner?"


    Maeve bit her lower lip, wondering if she should ask him why he forced her to have an abortion four years ago. Then, the phone in her jacket suddenly rang.


    She could only suppress this thought for the time being and take out her phone to answer the call.


    "What happened. Leo? I''m at someone else''s house. I''ll be back soon." Afraid that Leo would slip up, Maeve spoke first. Theo paused for two seconds. Realizing that there was someone beside her, he swallowed his words. Instead, he asked, "Maeve, do you know what... Did Will''s fathere to the kindergarten to pick him up today? Maeve answered, "I don''t think so. You guys haven''t finished school yet, right?"


    "But the teacher just told me that Will was taken away by his family thirty minutes ago." Theo frowned. "It''s so strange


    Maeve immediately turned around and asked Byron, "Leo said that Will was picked up by his family just now. Was it someone you sent?" Byron frowned slightly. "No. What did the teacher say?"


    Maeve ryed Theo''s words. "The teacher said that Gilbert misses Will and asked someone to take him to the sanatorium."


    If Will was picked up by Gilbert Mcdaniel, Maeve felt that there shouldn''t be any problem.


    Unexpectedly, when he heard this, Byron''s expression darkened. He got up to get his phone and made a call.


    It was unknown what the other party said, but his expression was even colder than before.


    Secing this, the uneasiness in Maeve''s heart intensified. "What happened? Isn''t Will with Gilbert?"


    "Yes, Grandpa didn''t send anyone to pick up Will, Byron''s voice was cold. "There''s a high chance that someone took him


    away


    Maeve''s pupils constricted and she suddenly sat up from the bed. Then let''s go find him quickly. If anything happens..." If Will was drugged and sent to another ce likest time, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    "He will be fine." Byron''s expression was calm. There was no panic at all. Tll send you back first"


    "I want to go with you


    u to find Will. I''m afraid..."


    TII handle this matter. You can go back first. Byron''s tone was unquestionable.


    Maeve''s anxious heart suddenly turned cold.


    She thought, ''He doesn''t seem worried at all that something would happen to Will. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be so calm and still be in the mood to send me away first. Something like this happened once already. Does be.. really care about Will?''


    No matter how unwilling and resistant Maeve was, she was still forcibly sent back to the apartment by Byron. There was nothing to do but wait anxiously.


    The phone on the table kept vibrating. Bonnie Hancock had sent her many messages. The screen was filled with exmation marks.


    Maeve was not in the mood to read these. Just as she was about to turn it off, one of the news links Bonnie sent caught his attention. [Revealing the shocking secret of Kleymond''s wealthiest family, the Mcdaniel family! The current leader, Byron Mcdaniel, was maliciously abandoned by his parents. Now, he has abandoned his own son. Is it the destruction of human nature or the loss of morals?


    The malice that seeped out of each word of this news title was enough to send chills down Maeve''s spine.


    Maeve quickly read on. The more she read, the more shocked she became.


    She thought. ''Is this informant crazy? How dare he make up this rumor?


    When she took a closer look, she realized that the informant was actually Karen Booth.


    Everyone knew that the Booth and Mcdaniel families had a deep rtionship. Moreover, Karen had once served as Byron''s secretary.


    The words that came out of her mouth would make others think that they had some credibility.
