The phone in Byron''s pocket suddenly vibrated.
Byron lowered his sight and nced at the caller ID. He nodded coldly at Alexis. "Will needs to undergo a physical examination. I''ll take him there now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the staircase
Alexis finally could not hold it any longer. She covered her mouth and cried. However, no matter how much she regretted it, the rift between her son and her would not be solved that easily There were all her fault.
At Retro Apartment.
In order to calm Will down, Maeve made many delicious dishes including a six-inch strawberry mousse cake.
Will did not like sweets, and he did not quite understand why Thico always had a lollipop every day. He could not stop eating-
Now he finally understood.
It was hard not to eat more when he was with his mother.
"Mommy, let''s eat." Will brought the first slice of cake to Maeve''s mouth. His eyes were round and sparkling.
Maeve opened her mouth and bit the red strawberry on the cake "Oh, it''s so sweet. Try it quickly,"
Will turned around and took a bite. Her eyes slowly curved into crescents. "Delicious."
His table manners were pr opposites from the wild kid Theo
His movement was refined and delicate. He chewed slowly. It was obvious that he had been taught proper etiquette since he was young. Maeve''s heart ached a little. How did the little guy survive his childhood?
It was not easy to be the heir of a wealthy family.
It was the same when Byron returned to the Mcdaniel family. He had fought his way to be in that position.
Will was his son. How could it be easy for him?
"You must have suffered a lot in the past, right?" Maeve caressed Will''s head and said softly
Will''s heart warmed up. He shook her head. I did not suffer at all. Theo and you had the hard lives."
He had heard from Theo that their mother had suffered a lot overseas in order to raise him. His heart ached
Will''s words. "How can it not be tough! The Modaniel family''s rules are so strict. You must be very Maeve did not believe in Will''s tired, right?"
and put
down the cake in his hand. He looked at Maeve seriously and said, "Mom, I''m a little Will thought for a moment tired, but my life was not tough. When we get something, we have to lose something to offset it. That''s fair, right?"
He was given afortable and prosperous life. In exchange, he had to sacrifice his freedom.
He was very luckypared to other kids.
He did not have much toin about.
Maeve could notfort him, so she hugged him tightly.
"I''ll make up for whatever you miss in the future!
Will''s face was flushed red. He was shy and could not resist getting close to his mother. "Okay"
Maeve stroked his hair gently. "The mastermind who kidnapped you has been arrested. I can test assured now."
Neville was hiding overseas. The arrest procedure would be a little moreplicated. However, he would be captured sooner orter.
Moreover, Maeve did not think Byron would let him off easily.
Will hesitated for a moment. "Mom, the real mastermind is someone else."
"What? Who is the real mastermind?"
Will told Maeve everything he knew, including the fact that Neville was Mr. Mcdaniel''s illegitimate child.
Maeve could not calm down from the shock after hearing the revtions by Will. She was grpping her fist so tightly that it created deep nail marks on her alm.
She could not understand why Jason wanted to get rid of his biological son and grandson just for an illegitimate chud.
She could not believe that the dangerous situation his son had encountered in the past was all because of his grandfather''s selfishness.
He could pave the way for his illegitimate son if that was what he wanted.
What right did he have to harm her precious son?
Was he even human?
Maeve''s chest heaved up and down. She could not suppress the anger in her heart. She was so angry that she could not breathe.
Suddenly, she remembered what Byron had told her some time ago.
"In the past, some parents thought that an overlyfortable environment couldn''t nurture a child''s temperament and ability. It would even turn him into an extravagant rich beir."
"So they relocate the child to a remote ce and let outsiders take his ce."
Maeve''s eyes suddenly turned teary
Thest time she was interrupted by him, she thought he was joking.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
She did not expect it was the truth.
He had long known about Jason''s selfishness, so he did not have any expectations about them since the beginning.
No wonder he said blood rtions were sometimes more fragile than sses.
"Mom, what''s wrong? Will looked at Maeve worriedly,
Maeve came back to her senses and forced a smile. "I''m fine. I just remembered that your brother is still in the Mcdaniel residence. I wonder if everything has been resolved over there. Il call your father. Will nodded and watched her walk away.
Maeve knew that Theo had gone to the Mcdaniel residence. She even knew that Byron confiscated all his lollipop. She had seen all that on the live broadcast.
No wonder he called her in the afternoon and told her there was no need to pick him up. He was waiting for her here.
Maeve called Byron. It only took two seconds for the call to connect.
"Maeve?" Byron''s deep voice could be heard from the other side.
Maeve pursed her lips ufortably. "Is This Will okay? Is there anything wrong?
"He''s fine. We just came out of a physical examination session."
"Physical examination? How''s the finding?"
Byron nced at the dejected little boy beside him and replied in a low voice, "Everything is normal. It''s just that he has cavity. The doctor instructed him to reduce his candy absorption in the future." Theo''s face immediately turned gloomy.
Byron wasining to his mother. What a bad guy!
"He has cavities? Maeve''s eyes were filled with surprise. "I watched him brush his teeth thoroughly after eating the candy"
Byron sneered. "Why don''t you ask him how many lollipops he ate today?"
"Just one!" Theo immediately defended himself.
Byron nced at him from his side eyes. His expression darkened slightly. "Tell the truth."
"Three..."
Maeve, who heard the father and son''s conversation, was speechless.
She held her forehead. Theo must have eaten the "protection fee offered by his ssmates in kindergarten again.
The candy bottle at home was in her room. He could not ess it at all
"Are you guysing back now?" Maeve asked again.
"We just reached. Please open the door."
As soon as he finished saying that, the doorbell of the apartment rang.
Maeve hung up the phone and quickly informed Will, "Please go back to your room, Will Your dad is here""
Will jumped off the chair and ran toward the children''s room.
Maeve went over to open the door. She saw that the father and son were standing very close to each other, but they seemed to be quarreling. For some reasons, she found the scene funny "Have you had dinner?"
