It was not unreasonable for Byron to say that Maeve was a cat. Even if she was avery and attacked others, it was as if de tapping over with soft paws, unaggresive,
His heart softened
However, no matter how Byron approached her, she would push him away.
It was like a white–haired British Shorthair that had reached out its short hands to hit someone. The fur on its tail was all Standing on end.
Maeve turned around and left angrily. When she was not paying attention, Byron held her shoulder and brought her back. The refreshing fragrance of cedar enveloped her tightly from behind.
He wrapped his arms around her from the front, not giving her a chance to struggle. He turned his head and pressed downs on her hair. He said in a low voice, I’m sorry, I was too anxious
During the three hours that Maeve and the two children disappeared, no one knew how Byron got there.
It was like the feeling of having his heart cut out of his chest and roasted over boiling lava.
Even when he saw her standing in front of him unscathed, the burning feeling in his heart did not get better.
It still couldn’t suppress the violence boiling in his body.
He restrained his true emotions for fear of scaring her, but he didn’t want to make her cry.
Maeve’s eyes stung again. She was still stubborn. “What’s the hurry? You’re not the one who was kidnapped”
“I’d rather it was me.”
His hoarse voice pressed against the skin on the back of her neck. It was warm and numb, and as it resonated with her heartbeat, it entered her ears and extinguished the fire in her heart.
But if she just stopped being angry, she’d seem so easy to coax.
At was too embarrassing.
Maeve sniffed and grabbed his arm. “If you care about me, just say it properly. Why are you so fierce? Am I one of those subordinates in your company who made mistakes?”
“Even if you don’t want to hear it, I’ll still say it.” Byron did not give in because of this. “If you go out without bodyguards, how can you survive the danger like today?”
Those people had even found smuggled ships and buyers of foreign illegal businesses. If the situation had not changed at the last minute, Maeve and the others might not have been as lucky as they were today.
“The last time I had bodyguards following me, I was still thrown to the sea to play drift,” Maeve refused to admit defeat and retorted, “And that time in Erancia, wasn’t I also kidnapped? That’s why I subconsciously felt that bodyguards were useless and didn’t want to bring them along.”
Byron was slightly speechless.

Just as Maeve thought that he had nothing to say, he slowly said, “Since you don’t trust the other bodyguards, I’ll do it from now on.”
“What?” Maeve asked in disbelief, “Be my bodyguard?”
“Yeah.”
“Are you sure you’re not kidding me?”
“Is there a need for me to do such a thing?” Byron turned her around and held her. He stared at her red eyes and raised his hand to wipe the tears on her cheeks. “I can be considered to have returned to my old profession.
eve was slightly stunned.
There was no connection between the words, but they strangely connected to some thoughts in her head.
When they first met four years ago, she had mistakenly thought that Byron was the bodyguard of a wealthy boss. It was only later that she realized how badly she had been deceived by him.
How could a privileged person like him be someone’s bodyguard?
But now, he said…
Maeve’s heart suddenly thumped, like raindrops falling without any pattern. Her ears were filled with these voices.
Byron added unhurriedly, “However, what do you plan to use to pay my salary?”
Maeve was stunned for a moment. Her thoughts were involuntarily led by him.
Without waiting for her answer, Byron said, “I’ll ask you for it when I think of it.”
She still owed him seven conditions and had yet to repay him. She nodded silently. It did not matter if she had too much debt. She already didn’t care about it.
Moreover, she was really curious about how Byron was going to be her bodyguard.
Not to mention anything else, just based on the intensity of the Mcdaniel Group’s work, did he have the time?
In the VIP ward on the same floor.
Alexis had been listless ever since he woke up from the surgery. After cooperating with the police to finish his statement, he fell silent for a moment when he heard them ask who had beaten the kidnappers until they could not take care of themselves for the rest of their lives.
Although it was a robot who did it, the person commanding the robot was a child.
If the police didn’t know, it meant that the twins and their mother had hidden this matter and didn’t want anyone to know. Alexis coughed. “It was me. I was beaten up by them. Can’t I defend myself?”
Among the victims at that time, only Alexis had the strength and skills to counterattack the kidnappers, so the police did not suspect anything.
Moreover, Alexis‘ injuries were so serious that those kidnappers had committed more than one crime. Therefore, even if he had defended himself excessively and crippled them, no one could pursue the matter.

The way the agent looked at Alexis changed. As soon as the police left, Alexis‘ agent asked impatiently. “When did you become so good that you can fight five people alone? And you’re a group of outlaws.”
“Don’t ask.” Alexis put his hand on his abdomen and looked up moodily. “How are the woman and the twins who were brought to the hospital with me?
“I’ve just asked around. They’re all fine. However, your injury… Do you really not need to inform your family? If you weren’t lucky this time, you would lose your life. If the Soar family was protecting you, you wouldn’t…”
“I didn’t rely on the Soar family to get to where I am today. If I turn around and ask for help now, it’s humiliating myself,” Alexis said lightly.
s father had always been dissatisfied with his decision to enter the entertainment industry. Back then, they had quarreled. He was young and impetuous, so he drew a clear line with his family. For so many years, he had never sought help from his family.
He had his pride. He wouldn’t do anything he hadn’t done before.
The manager knew his temperament, but looking at Alexis‘ injured appearance, he couldn’t help but persuade Alexis. “At least tell Zephyr. Haven’t you two always been very close?”
Alexis was silent for a moment. “Let’s talk about it when I’m better. If Zephyr sees me like this, he will reprimand me.”
Zephyr was really nagging.
Alexis felt distressed just hearing Zephyr nagging.
The manager had no choice. “By the way, do you want those people you saved to sign a confidentiality agreement? It won’t be good for you if this kind of thing spreads.”
“To be precise, they saved me.” Alexis‘ eyes were complicated. “Have you ever seen a robot that can fight?”
The agent was confused.
“Have you ever seen a robot whose arm turned from 50 centimeters to 6.5 feet in a flash? Have you ever seen a robot whose arm reaches out to tie someone up and strangle them to death and can still understand the commands of a human voice?”
The agent was shocked.
Alexis took a deep breath slowly. “I have.”
The agent was aghast. “Are you still under the anesthetic? Why are you talking nonsense? Look at me. How many heads do I have on my neck now?”
‘Idiot,’ Alexis thought.
