Only then did Theo remember that Stinky Daddy was still here. He quickly hid behind Maeve and whispered, “Mommy, I think he heard what I said just now. We have to think of a way to trick him.”
Will looked at Byron’s expression and thought, ‘but why did I feel that it was too late?‘
“How else do you want to trick me?” Byron’s hearing was outstanding, so he did not miss Theo’s nagging.
Theo immediately hid wholly behind Maeve.
Maeve pulled him out calmly. “It’s fine. He already knows.”
“…What?” Theo was dumbfounded. ‘When?‘
Maeve continued, “Not only does he know that you’re Jaylen’s biological son, but he also said that he will treat you as his biological son in the future.”
As soon as she said this, the two little ones were petrified. ‘When did I/my brother become someone else’s child?‘
Perhaps it was a good thing that he could not see sometimes. For example, at this moment, if Byron could see, he would realize that Theo was looking at him with a dissatisfied and aggrieved expression. ‘It was one thing for Stinky Daddy not to like me, but he actually recognized me as someone else’s child!‘
“I don’t want him to be my daddy!” Theo’s cheeks were puffed up like a balloon. His childish voice was filled with dissatisfaction. “I only have Mommy! I don’t want him!”
Even Will could not say anything to persuade him. He silently expressed his support.
“It’s up to you. If you don’t want to admit it, then don’t.” Byron did not care about this. He was only doing this for Maeve’s sake. Since Theo was so unwilling, it was fine. ‘I didn’t lack a son.
Theo turned around angrily.
Maeve looked at Byron, who knew nothing about this, and chuckled in her heart. ‘I wait to see how you coax your son in the future.’
After dinner, Maeve returned to her room and changed out of her long dress. She was ready to put on the cotton nightdress.
She had just taken it off when the bedroom door opened.
Seeing Byron walk in, Maeve panicked and used the clothes to cover herself. Then, when she saw the glasses on his face, she remembered that he could not see now. It did not matter if she blocked it or not.
“Why didn’t you knock when you came in?” Maeve mumbled.
“You knock on the door to your
room?”
Byron walked straight to the small sofa and reached out to touch the armrest before sitting down. He crossed his long legs elegantly.
Maeve was mumbling in her heart, ‘How did this become your room?”
When she saw Byron’s overly smooth movements, she was instantly surprised. “Why do you seem to be able to see? Have your eyes recovered?”

“Not yet.”
“Then how do you know there’s a sofa there?”
She had only bought that small sofa recently. It had never been there before. It was impossible for him to know and remember the location in advance.

Byron tilted his head and tapped the glasses on his nose with his knuckles. “It’s a new product of my company. If you wear it, you can see the general outline of the surrounding scenery.”
“Can you see the details?” Maeve quickly put on the nightdress. It would be awkward if he said Yes!
Byron sneered. “Do you think you’ve opened your Heavenly Eye?”
Maeve walked to his side and waved his hand in front of his eyes. “Then can you see what I’m doing?”
“Yes, you are making a V sign.”
‘Oh my God!‘ Maeve’s face immediately flushed. “Didn’t you know that I was changing just now and still walked in?”
Byron instantly laughed. “Which part of your body haven’t I seen before? What’s there to avoid when you change your clothes?”
Maeve immediately wanted to take off his glasses, but he held her wrist and rubbed it twice. He slowly slid up and pinched her slender fingers to play with them.
Maeve struggled but could not break free.
“Why are you in a bad mood tonight?” Byron asked in a low voice.
Maeve was stunned. “How did you
know?”
‘I had clearly hidden it very well and neither of the two children had discovered it. Maeve felt very puzzled.
“Your voice is too weak. It’s two keys lower than usual. You only perform like this when you’re sick and unhappy.”
Maeve was impressed by his observational skills. It did not matter to him whether he could see or not.
She had no intention of hiding the truth about her biological father from him and told him everything.
The more Byron listened, the more he frowned. “Did he find you just for the jewelry that he stole in the past?”
“And also for money.” Maeve sat on the armrest and complained “When he heard that the jewelry might be with me, he wanted to strangle me to death. He didn’t even want to pretend
Byron’s expression turned cold. “He wanted to strangle you to death?”
At this moment, Henry was no different from a dead man in Byron’s heart.
Maeve’s mood sank. “Byron, actually, I don’t have much expectations for them. I just want to know what kind of people they are to fill the gap in my mind for the image of my parents.”
“I just don’t understand. Why is it that some fathers, when their daughters go missing, will wait and search for them day after day for decades and love their daughters deeply? While there are fathers like Henry.” She really couldn’t figure it out. Why was the gap between fathers so huge? Perhaps it was because I was simply not worthy of having such kind of family affection by birth.
Byron pursed his thin lips slightly and stretched out his long arm to carry her from the armrest to his lap. His other hand wrapped around her soft and slender waist and stroked her long hair casually.

Maeve rested her chin on his shoulder and continued, “I even called the police. Although he ran away in the end, I don’t regret it at all. A mistake is a mistake.”
“You did well,” Byron said calmly. “But the next time you encounter such a thing, it’s best to discuss it with me first. I don’t know what this lunatic will do if he’s forced into a dead end.”
Maeve answered gloomily.
“Where’s your bodyguard from before?”
“Did you say Tom? He went home.”
Byron said firmly, “From tomorrow onwards, I’ll send bodyguards to follow you.”
Maeve didn’t refuse. Henry was like a time bomb. He didn’t know that the jewelry was with the police, and it was very likely that they would find her again. ‘Just in case, it would be best if there were bodyguards following me.’
“However,” Byron asked again, “are you really sure that Henry is your biological father?”

Maeve nodded and said, “The result of the paternity test was indeed like that. He also showed me the photo of my biological mother. It was the kind that you could tell at a glance that she looked a lot like me.”
“Is that so?” Byron frowned slightly. A trace of doubt flashed across his heart.
Maeve felt much more relaxed after telling him these things. She no longer felt like she was stuck in a dead end in the afternoon.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” She reached out and touched his glasses. “Can you take them off? I want to see how your eye injury is.”
Byron quietly held her small hand. “It’s still the same as before. You can look at it when it’s done.”
“Didn’t the doctor say that it would be well soon? How long has it been?”
“I’m not sure. It might take a while.”
Maeve felt that something was wrong, but she could not put her finger on it. ‘But since he said so, there shouldn’t be any problems… right?‘
