Maeve was stunned. Her pupils shrank as she turned around to look at him. The blood on her face had drained, and she was as pale as a wallpaper. 'He actually wants to break off the engagement with me!'

She looked at Byron's cold side profile in a daze. Her thoughts were in a mess and she had no idea what to do.

If Maeve listened carefully, it was not difficult to tell that Byron was discussing with her and had not made a decision.

However, at this moment, she could not tell and did not want to recall those hurtful words.

She closed her eyes and fought back the ache in her heart. "I understand," she said, enunciating each word clearly. Byron pursed his thin lips and turned his head to look at her, only to see a slender figure rushing into the bathroom. His eyes were filled with coldness as he walked out of the master bedroom without stopping.

When Maeve went downstairs for breakfast, Byron was nowhere to be seen.

Usually, he would send her to the studio first before going to the company.

'He is probably about to break off the engagement with me, so there is no need to pretend to be nice to me anymore. But is he really pretending?' Maeve ate her breakfast listlessly. Even the cuteness of the two children holding the milk cups obediently could not cheer her up.

In the past, Will hated drinking milk the most. However, in order to prevent Theo from being taller than him in the future, he would pinch his nose and drink it every day.

After drinking it, he even stuck out his tongue secretly as if it were some bitter medicine.

He could tell that Maeve was not very happy. He was thinking if making a face could cheer her up, but he was afraid that it would add fuel to the fire, so he poked Theo's arm.

Theo turned around to look at him. He had just taken a big gulp of milk and did not have the time to swallow it. He spat it out when he was poked in the cheek.

Theo was shocked.

Maeve watched as he spat out a milk mist. His milk-stained and fleshy face was filled with shock, and she could not help but burst out laughing.

"Theo, what are you doing? Why are you spraying milk?" She stood up and wiped the little cat's face, teasing him with a smile.

Theo glared at Will angrily. "Mommy, Will plotted against me just now! He's up to no good! He's disrespecting his superiors! He's trying to challenge my dignity as the family's leader!"

I'm already four years old, yet I'm still spraying milk. If my henchman in kindergarten finds out, how can I still be the leader?'

Will revealed an innocent expression. "I just wanted to remind you that there's something on the corner of your mouth. I didn't expect you to suddenly spray milk."

Then why don't you just say it!" Theo slapped the table.

"Because I want to help you wipe it off. It's inconvenient for you to have a bun in your hand."

"Is that so? Alright, since you didn't do it on purpose, I'll forgive you.

"Thank you, Theo." Will blinked. He looked exceptionally sincere There was no trace of deliberateness.

Macve held back her laughter. There was a feeling of two different-colored kittens fighting in front of her. One scratched the other, and the other sat on the other's tail.

Her mood lightened up. When she turned around to return to her seat, she saw Damian coming in with a delivery box.

It was another gift from the kids' long-term pen pal.

In this era of the Internet, there were not many people who could persist in using letters to communicate.

Maeve looked at the two little heads touching each other as they read the letter excitedly. For the first time, she felt a little curious about their pen pal.

The other party should be quite old. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept such a traditional habit.

It was rare that the two little ones could chat with the person.

"Mommy, can Will and I meet him this weekend?" Theo raised the letter in his hand. "Our good friend is sick. Recently, the number of words he has written to us has decreased. I'll treat him and let him continue praising me!" Maeve sweated. Fortunately, the person could not hear him. Otherwise, he might have been more ill.

"Then ask him in your heart if he's willing. If he's willing, I will send you there."

"Okay!"

Will tilted his head. When he saw that Theo had successfully diverted Maeve's attention, his lips curled up slightly. After sending the two kids to the car, Maeve returned to her room to pack her things and prepared to go to work. Damian stood at the entrance and handed her a bag of things. "Ms. Reese, your pumpkin silver fungus soup has just been brewed. Remember to bring it with you. There's rain in the weather forecast today. The umbrella and jacket are also inside."

"Thank you." Maeve took the bag. "It's been hard on you to prepare these for me every day."

"It's no trouble at all. It's what I should do," Damian said humbly Furthermore, this is something that Mr. Mcdaniel has specially instructed me to do every day. How can I be negligent? Maeve stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him in surprise. "Byron? Why haven't I heard him mention it before?"

Damian smiled. "Maybe he didn't tell you because he didn't think it was important. Besides, didn't you notice that he would warm the soup you drink that day in advance every morning?" The last sentence seemed to imply something.

"Are you saying all the nourishing soup I've been drinking recently was personally made by him?" Maeve asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it is."

Maeve stood on the stairs, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.

She knew very well how busy Byron was. Moreover, he actually did not like to cook much. At the very least, she rarely saw him cook after returning to the country.

There were a total of six chefs and six kitchen helpers in the manor. As long as he gave the order, someone would naturally

prepare it for him.

However, he did not do that.

Maeve suddenly thought of the soup she had drunk a few days ago. She could never finish it and did not like the taste. There was always a lot left in the thermos flask she brought back every day. But she didn't notice when she would drink it all.

It was probably from that time onwards that Byron had personally made the soup.

It was just like how he had personally made drinks for her back in Erancía.

He was stubborn but soft-hearted.

Maeve sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside the window that kept retreating as she asked herself,

'Is he really just pretending to be nice to me? We have been together for so long. How can I be sure that he does not like me? From the beginning, I seem to have been wrong.'

Although Molly's existence was the biggest problem between them, it did not mean that Byron's kindness to her was fake.

She did not believe that he really wanted to break off the engagement.

Thinking of this, Maeve took a deep breath and said to the driver, "Please turn around and go to the Mcdaniel Group "Okay, Ms. Reese."

Ten minutes later, Maeve came out of the Mcdaniel Group and told the driver to go to another address.

Byron was not in the company. Instead, he went to the Rose Pavilion to attend a business meeting.

Rose Pavilion was private, but the owner had divided a portion of it for people to visit. People could enter after buying a ticket.

It was also a disguised way to show off the owner's wealth.
