The Heir's Secret Bride

After walking along the food street, Byron sent Maeve to the hotel's entrance.

Holding the soft toy in her arms, she waved goodbye to him.

"Wait." Byron stopped her and handed her a paper bag. "You forgot this."

"What's this?" Maeve could not tell what it was, so she did not reach out to take it.

"My apology gift."

Maeve was a little embarrassed. "Isn't this a bit much?"

It sounded like he was using an apology to get closer to her.

It didn't seem that Maeve was over-thinking.

Byron placed the paper bag in her hand and patted the soft toy in her arms. Then he said, "Good night."

It was as if Byron was talking to the soft toy but his deep black eyes were fixed on Maeve.

Maeve panicked and ran upstairs.

Until her figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, Byron stood there momentarily, then turned and left.

Maeve's roommate saw her retur. Maeve was still blushing and hugging the soft toy and present. Her eyebrows twitched.

"Maeve, where did you go?"

"I just went to the food street."

"Oh, you went with a boy right?" Her roommate gave her a cheeky look. "I saw you leave with a boy when I was by the window. He is the most popular boy in the school. Everyone knows who he is." Maeve placed the soft toy on the bed and asked curiously, "Do you know him?"

Her roommate replied, "Yes, I heard someone talking about him today. They said that he has a girlfriend already."

Maeve felt as though someone poured cold water over her, cooling her heart down.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. It's normal for such a handsome boy to have a girlfriend, right?" Maeve's roommate walked past her with a smile. "Don't fight with her girlfriend over him." Then her roommate took her clothes to the bathroom.

Maeve sat by the bed and looked at the soft toy mockingly. Then depression surged from her heart.

She punched the soft toy and muttered, "If you have a girlfriend why are you coming after me? You are a scoundrel"

Therefore, these gifts were really just apology gifts.noveldrama

Maeve sighed. Illusions were really scary.

She smacked her lips and opened the paper bag on the table. There was a shoe box in it.

Maeve stuffed the shoe box back into the paper bag, as though she had thought about something. Then she placed it at the foot of the bed. Out of sight, out of mind. Maeve wanted to return it to Byron tomorrow.

Other than an indescribable bitterness in Maeve's heart, she did not pay too much

to this matter.

The next day, Maeve woke up early in the morning and went to the canteen to wait for Byron.

She did not know Byron's name and contact number, so she could only wait here for him. Fortunately, Byron had the habit of eating breakfast, so he came to the canteen.

Almost immediately, he noticed Maeve waiting for him at the door.

He quickly walked toward her after telling his roommate to leave first.

Byron realized that there was something wrong with Maeve.

"I am here to return this to you." Maeve did not want to waste time. She quickly slipped the handle of the paper bag on Byron's wrist. "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept it. You should save it for someone who needs it more." With that, she left without any hesitation.

Byron was stunned for a moment. He wondered why Maeve's tone suddenly became so distant.

Without thinking, Byron ran after Maeve.

Fortunately, Maeve wasn't running very fast. Byron quickly caught up to her and grabbed her arm.

"Rosie, what happened?" Byron patiently explained to her. "I didn't mean anything by giving you this. I just want to apologize to you for my mistake. I dirtied your shoes, didn't I?"

Afraid of being seen, Maeve shook off Byron's hand anxiously. "Stop it. I don't want others to see us like this. My shoes will be clean after washing. It's no big deal."

"Are you angry with me?" Byron noticed Maeve's expression and immediately asked, "Did I d unhappy?"

Byron believed that Maeve shouldn't dislike him.

A small matter could escalate into something very big and serious. Nobody could tell.

nething to make you

Maeve was a little anxious from being pestered by Byron. She blurted out, "It's really not good for you to come after me. Your girlfriend will misunderstand if she sees you." Byron thought, 'Girlfriend?'

He was slightly stunned. "Who told you that I have a girlfriend?"

"My roommate heard it from the students here."

Byron took a deep breath and explained to her clearly, "Your classmate heard wrongly. I have no girlfriend. If you don't believe, I can get my roommate to testify for me." Fortunately, Maeve came to look for him today.

If she believed those untrue rumors, she might return to Greenhaven quietly.

In that case, even if Byron took the initiative to look for her, she would probably not see him.

Byron held Maeve's wrist and was about to bring her to verify this fact.

Maeve quickly stopped him. "I... I believe that you're telling the truth. There's no need to ask your roommate."

"No, this matter is very important." Byron pursed his thin lips slightly and his irresistible aura appeared.

While Maeve was in a daze, Byron brought her to meet his roommate.

After Byron's roommate explained on his behalf, Maeve felt very embarrassed.

Especially when Byron's roommate looked at her teasingly. Maeve felt very guilty.

After the roommates finished eating, they left to go to the studio outside the school to continue developing new computer software.

Byron owned that studio. He had something to do at school so he went back to the dormitory to stay for a while.

"If someone tells you something about me next time, don't listen to them. Ask me directly," Byron said slowly. "I will explain to you honestly." The little flame in Maeve that had died yesterday ignited again.

But she was puzzled. "Why?"

Byron asked, "What do you mean, why?"

"Why do you care so much about what I think?" Maeve asked, puzzled. "We've only known each other for a short time, haven't we?"

However, Byron's behavior made her feel as if they had known each other for a long, long time. It had been so long that they were already very familiar with each other. Byron's eyes softened slightly. "Yes, we haven't known each other for long. But just looking at you makes me feel like we've known each other for a long time." Maeve's eyes widened in surprise. "You also have that feeling?"

Byron asked even though he already knew the answer, "Could it be that you have it too?"

"Yes, yes! I thought it was my imagination," Maeve answered.

"Perhaps," Byron paused. The smile on his face was unbelievably gentle. "In a certain time and space, we might have been lovers."

Maeve wondered, 'Lovers?'

Her ears turned red. "I'm sorry, but I don't believe in time or spatial travel stories.",

Byron's smile deepened. "Then why don't you treat this as the basis for me wanting you as my girlfriend? I admit that I have an ulterior motive."

Maeve looked at Byron in a daze. For a moment, she thought she had heard wrongly.
