Another point was that... Maeve had been hiding Theo''s identity Clearly, she did not want Byron to know about this.


    If Theo was not Jaylen''s son, why would she hide it?


    Remembering the words that Jaylen had casually said as a joke on the day of the Arts and Theatrical festival, Maeve''s head suddenly started buzzing.


    No wonder Byron''s expression looked strange after he came back from the call that day.


    Maeve thought twice, "Those words were indeed easily misunderstood...''


    Just as Maeve was thinking about how to exin to him, Byron said emotionlessly, "I''m not interested in what happened between the two of you in the past, and I won''t ask you. Theo is your child, which means he''s mine. From now on, I''ll treat him as my own. Whatever Will has, he will have too."


    Thest sentence carried a lot of weight, especially when it came from Byron


    Maeve''s emotions were soplicated that she was speechless.


    That''s your son, but you said you will treat him as if he were your own. What on earth is all this about?''


    Maeve took a deep breath and asked him, "So when did you realize that Theo was also


    my


    child?"


    The day Theo woke up with a fever." Byron turned his face to her and exined slowly, "I heard him call you Mommy, so I asked the doctor to take a sample of your hair follicles for a paternity test." Maeve immediately remembered.


    At that time, he almost didn''t go back to the apartment to sleep. He lied to her that he was working overtime, but actually at


    bar!


    a


    She identally told him that she had hidden a child when she was drunk.


    As


    a result, he left with a cold face!


    He even said that she had a guilty conscience and that they should calm down


    Huring this period!


    Later on, she thought about it and nned to tell him Theo''s identity. She called him and sent him messages, but she could not contact him no matter what!


    The reason why she was neglected by him for no reason during that period of time was actually here.


    He actually thought that Theo was her and Jaylen''s child!


    Maeve''s memory was too good, so that the helplessness and grievance she felt at that time was still clearly imprinted in her heart until today.


    Back then, he only needed to pick up her call to clear up the misunderstanding, but she only figured out the reason now.


    She was so angry!


    "You''re quite tolerant," Maeve said sarcastically. "If nothing had happened to Jaylen, would you have pretended not to know about this?"


    Byron hummed faintly. "I don''t have the hobby of rushing to be a father."


    Maeve was so angry that her forehead twitched. "I''ll take care of my Theo. I don''t need you to treat him as your biological son. You''d better not treat him as your child for the rest of your life!" 1/4


    10.45 FTI, NOV 2L


    The car had been parked downstairs for a long time, but the driver saw that the atmosphere was not good and did not remind them.


    After saying that, Maeve opened the door and got out of the car She left without looking back.


    Byron frowned slightly, not understanding what she was angry about.


    Did she think that I was not qualified to be Theo''s father? Jaylen, who didn''t even want to take care of the child, was qualified?''


    Byron''s face was covered in ayer of gloom. It was only when the driver reminded him that he ordered in a low voice, "Go to thepany." "Yes."


    At the Dreamscape Studio.


    Maeve bumped into Daryl at the door. He came to bid her farewell.


    "You''re leaving?"


    Daryl nodded. After a few days of torment, he had lost a lot of weight. His smile was no longer as simple and honest as before Instead, it had be more-tenacious.


    Ms. Reese, I''ve been orphaned since I was young. I''ve been earning a living at the edge of the ck market. Who knows when my fate will be gone? It was Mr. Chatterly who kindly took me in as an assistant and gave me the ie so that I could have a chance to be a dignified person. I don''t have anything to repay him. Although Mr. Chatterly doesn''t need me to repay him, I still want to go somewhere else and travel around like he did in the past to treat illnesses and save people. Before I leave, I''ll say goodbye to you. Also, if you need my help in the future, I''ll definitely do my best."


    A sour feeling rose in Maeve''s heart. The people and things rted to Jaylen seemed to have gradually disappeared overnight.


    The Chatterly family, Daryl, and Rudolf, who had lost his beloved disciple and chose to go into seclusion....


    She did not know when they would meet again.


    "I wish you a safe journey," Maeve sighed.


    "Also, Mr. Chatterly instructed me to give this to you before he died." Daryl took out a sandalwood box from his cloth pocket and handed it to Maeve. "There''s a letter he left for you inside." Maeve took the heavy sandalwood box and thanked him.


    Daryl still wanted to say something. His lips moved a few times, but in the end, he did not say anything, and just waved his hand and ran away.


    Maeve might know what he wanted to say.


    It was probably the question of whether she had ever liked Jaylen.


    However, there was no point in asking.


    Maeve carried the sandalwood box into the office and saw several packages on the table.


    She ignored the packages and opened the sandalwood box left behind by Jaylen.


    There was not much content in the letter. It only said that this was a nt seed he had collected from all over the world The did not know what it was.


    He knew that she liked to nt things, so he wanted her to nt the seeds on his birthday every year.


    As if he was still in this world.


    Let these seeds inherit his life and continue to live by her side.


    "I will." Maeve looked at the letterhead and promised softly.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    This was thest thing she could do for him. She would do it well


    After cing the sandalwood box properly, Maeve finally focused her attention on the pile of packages.


    Before she could open it, someone knocked on the office door.


    "Ms. Reese!" Paige looked nervous. "The man who was loitering at the entrance of the workshop is here again!" ''If Tom were still here, they wouldn''t be so worried and scared. But he''s already gone, hasn''t he?'' Maeve stood up. "I''ll go out and take a look. Go to work."


    "Don''t you need me to apany you?"


    "No need. This is an office building. There are a lot of people here. The man probably won''t dare to do anything." Maeve put down the knife, picked up her phone, and walked out


    When that suspicious man saw here out, surprisingly, he didn''t run away. Instead, he stood there, looking her up down as if she were a piece of merchandise.


    His gaze made Maeve very ufortable.


    and


    "I heard that you''ve been loitering in front of my workshop for a long time. What''s the matter? Or do you know me?" Maeve pretended not to know that the delivery was ced by this man.


    The man was wearing a cap and his hands were in his sleeves. His stubble looked like it had not been shaved for a long time. He looked very weathered, but he was not ugly.


    "Are you sure you want me to say this here? Big designer?" The man''s tone sounded ambiguous.


    Maeve frowned. "If you don''t want to talk about it, please leave. You''ve already affected our work." The man pped his hands. "Very good. You''re quite unyielding. As expected of my daughter." ''What?!''


    Even though she was mentally prepared, Maeve was still shocked by his words.


    She quickly calmed down. "Since you insist that I''m your daughter, you have to show me the evidence. Do you have it?"
