The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 386

At this moment, when he heard her cry loudly for another man, Byron felt even more depressed.

He pulled her closer into his embrace and exhaled deeply. In the end, he said softly, "To him, dying in front of you is not a bad thing

Maeve sobbed from time to time and did not answer him.

In the end, she was so tired that she fell asleep in Byron's arms.

Byron tapped the invisible button on the sunglasses. After the sensor was connected to his brain nerves, it would feed back the images collected by the camera on the outside of the sunglasses to his mind. It wasn't a clear picture, just a rough road map.

If someone passed by, the sensor would be able to detect them.

Other than not being able to see the specific scene clearly, he could walk like a normal person and avoid the roadblocks.

This was the latest product developed by the Greenhaven Science and Technology Headquarters under the Mcdaniel Group. It was only delivered to Byron's hands this noon.

Therefore, without needing anyone to show the way, Byron picked up the already sleeping Maeve horizontally and walked smoothly into the elevator, taking her back to his private villa here first.

At midnight, Byron sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom and telephoned someone in a low voice.

Maeve was lying on the bed in the back. She was sleeping very soundly and was probably very tired.

"Mr. Mcdaniel, in that restaurant, the poison of the blue-ringed octopus was accidentally mixed into the dishes of only two tables. The poisoning of the guests at the other tables was due to an employee who harbored a grudge against the boss and wanted to bring down the restaurant by maliciously poisoning the food. After being caught, that person confessed to what he had done without hesitation and even boasted that if he had had enough poison, he would have killed more people. Anyway, he only had one life to lose." The subordinate who was reporting couldn't help frowning at this point, feeling sick in his heart.

"Where did his poison come from?" Byron asked coldly.

(

"We haven't found a way to buy it yet, but that neurotoxin is strictly prohibited in the country. Only places like the black market can buy it."

"Then follow this line of investigation." Byron's expression was cold. "Report to me if there's any progress."

""Yes, I understand."

Suddenly, there was a slight movement on the bed. Byron keenly caught it. He hung up the phone, got up, and walked to the bed.

Maeve was awakened by a nightmare. She curled up her body and looked at the darkness in the void. The corners of her eyes were dry and painful, probably because she had cried too much. She felt uncomfortable rubbing against the soft pillow. "You're awake?" Byron sat down on the edge of the bed and raised his hand to touch Maeve's cheek. He touched a patch of moisture.

Byron frowned. 'Were you that sad for Jaylen's death? You were someone who didn't usually cry much. How many times had 16.45 Fri Nov 24 GBContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

you cried because of Jaylent

In fact, Maeve only shed a few tears because of the pain in the corner of her eyes and the discomfort in her heart.

Byron did not know. His face was covered by the sunglasses, and it was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry. His thin lips were pursed tightly, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.

Suddenly, Maeve turned around and rested her head on his lap, and then she reached out and hugged his strong waist.

It was the only way she could suppress the terror of the nightmare she'd just experienced.

Byron's cold face instantly softened a little. He thought to himself that if she wanted to cry, so be it. Jaylen was already gone.

"Byron, what were you talking about with others just now?" After a long silence, Maeve suddenly asked.

Byron did not hide it from her and told her the results of his subordinate's investigation.

This may or may not be a coincidence. It was still unknown who they were targeting.

Maeve hugged his waist tightly and said in a muffled voice, "Sorry to trouble you."

As soon as she finished speaking, her face was turned around by Byron. "You're still talking to me about trouble?"

"Then I won't say anymore." Maeve pursed her lips. After a moment of silence, she said, "I just thought about what you said to me in the hospital. I think you might be right." "Yes?"

"Compared to living in restraint, he wants to die elegantly. We can't bear to part with him and have always wanted him to live."

that you can't bear to part with other men?"

She had never heard of anyone being so straightforward about being stingy. Maeve choked.

Byron said coldly, "Maeve, do I look tolerant? You're saying in front of me

She grabbed his collar and looked up. "It's not what you think. I've always treated Jaylen as a family."

"Engaged family?"

"Didn't you have such a fiancée before?" Maeve asked.

Byron felt speechless.

"Oh, there's another one that even if you can't see it with your eyes, you have to place her sketches in the Byron fell into silence again.

room."

He pressed between his eyebrows and suddenly regretted deliberately using that painting to force her to stay away.

Now, he was getting even with her.

Maeve snorted and turned around to get off his lap.

Unexpectedly, Byron grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get out of his grasp.

"What are you doing?" Maeve glared at him.

"It's nothing. Byron rested-4ys chin on the top of her head. His deep voice was slightly trembling. "You've cried enough for Jaylen today. Today is the only day. There won't be a next time. Maeve pursed her lips. "Do you still have to care if I cry in the future?"

"Yes, I can't even bear to let you cry. What right does he have?"

Maeve was stunned. She raised her head and looked at Byron's exceptionally serious and handsome face. The shadow in her heart did not seem so heavy anymore. Three days later.

Jaylen's funeral was held in a low-key manner by the Chatterly family, with only relatives present.

Even when Jaylen knew that he had very little time left, he would find a place where no one knew him and wait for death. This was probably the best thing to do. The entire sky above Chatterly family was shrouded in thick dark clouds.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chatterly would be sad to see Maeve. She waited for them to leave before bringing Will and Theo up.

Byron was waiting for them in the car.

In front of Jaylen's tombstone, there was a photo of him wearing traditional clothes. There was no smile on his face, and it Hooked like he was in his prime.

"Jaylen, we're here to see you." Maeve put down the bouquet in her hand and looked at Jaylen in the photo. Her eyes could not help but turn red. "I have good news for you. All the guests who suffered from food poisoning survived because you treated them in time. They're very grateful to you and even made you a silk banner."

Maeve suppressed her emotions. "And the newsies wanted to cover it, but your family hushed them up because you wouldn't like to be so high-profile. I donated all the inheritance you asked Daryl to give me in your name to the charity fund. You've saved so many people in your life and you're so lucky. You deserve to be repaid in your next life. Otherwise, I won't be able to bear it."

"I hope you'll be fine in your next life. You'll be healthy and can go wherever you want. Also... find someone who loves you and who you love." As Maeve spoke, her smile blurred into tears.

A light breeze blew past. Jaylen on the tombstone was still the same, but he seemed to be smiling.

When Maeve looked over again, it was still the same.
