Acolian’s eyes flashed. She did not expect her brother to suddenly be concerned about this matter. She was stunned for a moment before replying, “Zephyr, I’ve already sent someone to her studio”
“Okay.”
After Zephyr left, Acolian took out her phone and called her friend. She quickly asked, “It’s been a few days. Have you unlocked it?”
“Your call came at the right time. I’ve already unlocked it. When are you free? I’ll send you the phone.”
Aeolian revealed a satisfied smile. “Today. It’s been hard on you treat you to a meal another day.”
“Sure.”
Just as Byron was flirting with Maève, the two kids squatted under the umbrella and started counting frogs out of boredom.
“A frog with one mouth, two eyes, and four legs…” Theo mumbled, “Did Great Demon King get Mommy? Why isn’t he back yet? No, I have to call and ask!”
Will stopped him. “I advise you not to.”
“Huh? Why?”
પોંખારી છે કે જે ક્ષ
“When it’s just Mom and Dad together, it’s best if we don’t disturb them.”
Theo puffed up his chubby face. “What kind of logic is this? Does Great Demon King want to bully Mommy while I’m not around?”
“I read in the book that parents will cultivate the Heart Sutra in places that their children don’t know about. If their children disturb them at this time, they will go berserk,” Will said seriously.
Theo was shocked. “Really? But why do I feel like you’re lying to me?”
“Because I was lying to you.”
Theo stood up and stepped hard into the middle of the puddle with his short legs. He was very vengeful and splashed Will’s face.
Will wiped his face in a daze. ‘I’d better throw Theo away.’
Zephyr did not know about the conversation there. He returned to his room to get a change of clothes and was about to take a shower when he suddenly thought of something and walked back to the wardrobe.
The letter from Maeve was still lying in his suit jacket.
Her beautiful handwriting took up half the page. The words “Maeve” were written at the end. The end of the word was raised, and it was as playful and lively as Maeve.
The words were just like her.
Zephyr looked at it quietly for a long time. Then, he casually put the letter into a book at the head of the bed and walked to the bathroom.
The words “Separated by a Wall” on the vertical cover of the book shined quietly under the light.

Chapter 512
The effects of Maeve’s regular access to counseling during this he were gradually showing.
00%
In the beginning, she had nightmares every night. Then, she had nightmares three times a week. Now, she almost no longer had nightmares.
It didn’t matter if she saw the sharp objects in her daily life, but she still couldn’t use the knives and scissors.
It wouldn’t be long before she completely recovered and returned to the studio.
This realization made Maeve feel quite happy even though she was awakened by Byron early in the morning and brought to the company.
Unfortunately, it didn’t last long before it was ruined by rumors spreading all over the company.
The cause was very simple. Previously, she and her two children had been kidnapped. The news that Molly had bravely barged into the meeting room to remind Byron had spread. Now everyone thought that it was all thanks to Molly that they could be saved.
Maeve happened to hear others talk about this matter. She was confused. ‘Isn’t it all thanks to Baymax that I and the two kids can be saved? How is it related to Molly?‘
Because of this, Molly had been treated very well in the company recently.
When eating at the company’s restaurant, others would take the initiative to come over and greet her.
In the afternoon, her colleagues sent her coffee and snacks. The secretary–general did not arrange any chores for her and would usually take her to handle some serious work matters.
After receiving so much kindness and convenience, Molly began to feel great. She could not help but wonder if Byron’s attitude towards her improved because he was grateful for her help.
At this moment, Maeve came out of Byron’s office and walked towards the break room.
Seeing this, Molly bit her lip and followed.
Maeve took a can of coffee beans from the cabinet. She turned around and saw Molly standing in front of him. She raised her eyebrows slightly. “Can you move aside?”
“Ms. Reese, you seem to owe me a thank you,” Molly mustered her courage and said, “If I hadn’t reminded Mr. Mcdaniel in time that day, you might not have been able to stand here properly. So, you should at least thank me, right?”
Maeve was confused.
This stunned Maeve.
“Molly, right?” Maeve looked at the work pass on her chest and finally knew what her name was. “So you think you saved me?”
“I don’t think so, but you can’t deny my help in this,” Molly said.
Maeve smiled. “But why did I hear that you didn’t tell Mr. Mcdaniel that I lost contact that day?”
Molly’s eyes flickered. “That’s because the situation was urgent and I accidentally missed it. This doesn’t seem to affect anything, right?”
“No, but don’t you think you overestimate your role in this?” Maeve’s eyes dimmed. “Besides, before Mr. Mcdaniel arrived, we had already subdued the kidnappers.”
“So what? It’s all my…
Chapter 512
Maeve interrupted her “Miss Vance, first of all, as Mr. Mcdaniel’s secretary, it’s your job to report the emergency to him. Secondly, even if you didn’t do anything at that time, Damian wouldn’t have just waited there.
“I don’t know where your sense of superiority comes from, but you’re asking me to be grateful to you. Perhaps I should thank you for at least telling him that the two children were in danger that day. But don’t forget, I’m not a fool.
She had not planned to fuss over the rumors. It was not a big deal, but Molly had to bring it up.
Maeve could not tolerate this.
Molly’s eyes were filled with tears and her face was humiliate me like this!
pale. “Ms. Rese, I know you’re hostile to me, but you don’t have to
could you
“If I didn’t remind Mr. Mcdaniel that day, how be sure that he could end the meeting in a short period of time and look for you?
“It’s fine if you don’t want to thank me. There’s no need to be rude to me. You sound like I have ulterior motives. I’m not as capable as you, but I have my self–esteem!”
Maeve didn’t understand. ‘What? According to Molly, I have to accept the humiliation with a smile, right? What does she mean that I’m hostile toward her?‘
She was jealous of Molly because they dated before, but she was just mad at him. She didn’t do anything to Molly.
“Miss Vance, as long as you’re happy,” Maeve said casually. She did not want to waste time on her. She still had to go back and draw after making coffee.
Molly turned around and left. When Molly reached the door of the break room, she turned around and said to Maeve, “You’re only treated like this today because you stole someone else’s things. Why are you so proud?”
Maeve was really confused this time. I stole from someone else? What did I steal?‘
Maeve wanted to stop Molly to clarify, but she walked very quickly and disappeared in a few moments.
Maeve was holding back her anger. All her good mood was gone
When she reached the door of the secretaries‘ office, she heard people discussing her inside.
Molly was probably crying. Her voice was choked with sobs. Just her voice sounded pitiful, like an innocent girl being bullied by a villain.
“I was too arrogant. I didn’t expect Ms. Reese to say that about me… Everyone said that she was easy–going and didn’t put on airs, so I thought… I shouldn’t have been an eyesore in front of her…”
Hearing this, Maeve was furious. ‘Is there something wrong with Molly? Not only Is She slandering me for stealing, but she i also defaming me! Do I look like a pushover?‘
Maeve took a deep breath and suddenly calmed down. She took out her phone, turned around, and left the secretaries‘ office. She made a call.
Molly was still sobbing in her seat. She had used up more than half of the box of tissues. Looking at the complicated expressions of the other secretaries, she was secretly pleased.
.
She wanted everyone to see Maeve’s true colors and not be deceived by her act of gentleness and easy–goingness. ‘Perhaps Mr. Mcdaniel is also deceived by Maeve. That was why he thinks…
At this moment, the door of the secretaries‘ office was opened and Maeve walked in with her men.
“Ms. Reese.”

“Ms. Reese, good afternoon,
The secretaries greeted her one after another.
Maeve waved her hand. “Everyone has worked hard today. I’ll treat everyone to coffee in the afternoon. On the other hand, I’ll take this opportunity to thank Molly in your office.”
Molly’s tears had not been wiped clean yet, so she was stunned when she heard this.
The other girls looked at each other. ‘What is going on?‘
The secretary–general asked carefully, “Ms. Reese, are you referring to the previous incident?”
Zephyr did not seem to have completely woken up. His eyes were drifting, and he inadvertently saw Maeve’s shocked expression as if she had seen a ghost. He slowly came back to his senses.
“You… Ms. Reese?” Zephyr’s voice was hoarse as he looked at her questioningly. “Why are you here?”
The child beside him saw that he was awake and burped in fear
Maeve was also a little afraid. “Mr. Soar, are you not dead?”
“What are you talking about?” Zephyr supported his forehead with his palm to case the discomfort. “I just accidentally fainted from low blood sugar.”
“Oh, look around you first,” Maeve reminded him tactfully.
Zephyr followed her words and looked down. There was a circle of wildflowers around him. Nolan was still kneeling beside him with his hands clasped together as if Zephyr was gone.
Zephyr’s face darkened. “Nolan.”
Nolan ran away and hid behind Maeve. He looked at Zephyr pitifully. “Zephyr, I just thought you were dead. I saw it on TV.”
“I think you want me dead. Come here.”
Zephyr, I was wrong…”
Maeve did not know whether to laugh or cry. Nolan was too funny. She really thought that someone had died here just now,
“Mr. Soar. Forget it, forget it. Nolan is still young and insensible. He’ll be fine after you go back and beat him up.” She quickly helped to persuade him.
Hearing her first sentence, Nolan nodded vigorously, but later on, he was shocked. ‘How can she say that? Shouldn’t she advise Zephyr not to argue with a child like me?‘
Zephyr was also amused by Maeve’s alternative method of persuasion. He looked at the child and said, “I’ll get your father to teach you a lesson when we get back.”
The child felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body wilted.
“By the way, aren’t you hypoglycemic?” Maeve took out a bag of handmade biscuits from her bag and handed it to Zephyr. “Eat something first. I’m afraid you’ll faint again.”
Zephyr revealed a rare trace of embarrassment. “This is a special situation. I don’t have the appetite to eat in the morning. I felt a little tired just now, so I rested here and lost consciousness.”
The wound on his elbow was too painful. In addition, he did not want others to know that he was injured and did not treat it well. As a result, he had a low fever in the morning and his appetite was not good.
Nolan was wearing an Apple Watch but did not call for help. Instead, he had the time to pick flowers and hold a send–off ceremony
for him.
Zephyr’s eyes flashed with surprise as he ate the sweet but not greasy and slightly soft biscuits. He sized up the apricot- colored transparent bag in his hand a few times, but he did not find the brand name.
“Ms. Reese, may I ask where you bought this biscuit?”
“Oh, I made this myself. It’s a little soft after a day, but it’s still edible,” Maeve explained.

Zephyr was slightly surprised. “You did it?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong with that?”
DU
“No, I’m just a little surprised” Since she was so good at cooking Zephyr thought she should be a girl who loved life. She didn’t seem like someone who would commit suicide.
It seemed that he had been wrong.
Previously, Maeve had explained that she did not jump off a building, but Zephyr thought that she denied it because she was ashamed to let others know about it. He did not fully believe it.
It was only at this moment that he confirmed that she was indeed not the kind of fragile person.
It suddenly started to rain outside the cave.
Maeve immediately panicked. Although Will had brought an umbrella, a rainy forest was very dangerous.
Seeing that she was about to rush into the rain, Zephyr quickly grabbed her arm. “It’s raining outside. The mud is slippery and dangerous. Do you want to die?”
Maeve was about to explain when the AppleWatch on her wrist vibrated. Will’s name appeared on it.
“Mom, are you alright? Did you find a place to hide from the rain?” Will asked continuously.
Maeve quickly replied, “I’m fine. Stay up there obediently and don’t run around, understand? This is the sunny rain. It won’t rain for long. Once the rain stops, I’ll go up to look for you.”
“Okay, Mom,” Will agreed softly. “Dad and Theo are already on their way here. Mom, wait a little longer. Don’t get drenched in the rain. You’ll sick.”
get
After hanging up, Maeve felt a little relieved.
Zephyr stared at her fair and exquisite side profile. After a moment, he asked, “Ms. Reese, who was the child who called just now?”
“He’s my eldest son,” Maeve replied casually, “I came here with him to look for the treasure map fragment and happened to hear your nephew’s cry for help.”
Zephyr was silent for a few seconds before he lowered his head and asked Nolan, “If you know how to shout for help, why don’t you use AppleWatch to ask the teacher for help?”
Nolan said pitifully, “Zephyr, I forgot…”
Zephyr was speechless.
Maeve saw that Zephyr frowned. Clearly, no matter how good–tempered and cultured a person was, their rationality would collapse when they met a brat.
At this moment, she realized that Zephyr was eating biscuits with his left hand. His right hand was hanging strangely by hi side as if he was injured.
“Mr. Soar, is your right hand injured?” Maeve pointed at his arm and asked, “I have medicine in my bag. If you don’tɩmind, can I help you treat your wound?”
Zephyr hesitated for a moment. He wanted to decline, but when he saw that she had already lowered her head and rummaged through her backpack, he could only say, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
“Don’t stand on ceremony. You helped me yesterday.”
Chapter 512
Maeve took out Theo’s medical bag and sat down beside Zephy to check the injury on his right hand.
The blood that seeped out of the wound stuck to his sleeve. It was a little difficult to tear it open. This looked painful.
His elbow was completely exposed, and there was a large patch of hideous blood on it that seemed to have been caused by the friction of something rough. Dark red blood flowed out of the wound, and it was a shocking sight.
Maeve was shocked. “You injured yourself when you saved me yesterday, right?”
Judging by the extent of the scab on his wound, it couldn’t have been caused today.
Zephyr pursed his lips. “I don’t remember. Maybe I accidentally injured it somewhere later.”
He said this because he didn’t want Maeve to feel guilty about anything. If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t treat this small injury properly, he wouldn’t have taken it to heart.
However, seeing such a terrifying wound, Maeve still felt guilty
She first disinfected and applied medicine, then wrapped a clean gauze around his bleeding wound to prevent it from filling with pus.
Perhaps because of her experience, she was very familiar with these things and her technique was light. The serious look on her face made Zephyr’s heart skip a beat.
Something was trying to struggle out of the sturdy and heavy door.
-Soon, it was forced back down.
“Your wound is a little infected. Try not to touch water for the time being and don’t use this hand to hold anything heavy. Otherwise, you might pull and bleed again,” Maeve handed the cintment to him and said, “This ointment should be applied twice a day on your wound. It’s very effective.”
Zephyr took it. His fingertips unintentionally brushed past her soft fingertips. His eyelashes trembled imperceptibly as he calmly retracted his hand.
“Thank you. I’ll use of it properly.”
He tightened his grip on the box of ointment in his hand. His throat tightened, but there was no change in his expression.
“It’s a small matter. You’re welcome,” Maeve said.
Maeve looked at the sun that was still raining outside. She was worried that Byron would not discover this place when he came to look for her, so she sat at the entrance of the cave.
Zephyr lowered his eyes and continued to eat the bag of handmade biscuits that suited his taste. He chewed absent- mindedly.
Maeve did not pay attention to him. She rummaged through the tissues in her backpack and accidentally pulled Will’s meditation drum out.
As she watched, she suddenly wanted to play it.
It had been so long, but she had never knocked on Will’s little meditation drum. It seemed enjoyable and Will would play every now and then…
‘No, I don’t want to play it. I just want Byron to immediately find out that I am here!‘ she thought to herself.
The irregular sound of meditation drums resounded through the cave.

Zephyr almost choked on his biscuit. He looked at the girl sitting there and knocked on the meditation drum. He asked with difficulty, “Ms. Reese, do you believe in God?”
“No.” Maeve looked serious. “Tim just exploring the mysteries offe
Zephyr was speechless. Although he didn’t understand it very well, the fact that she carried these things with her meant that she still believed it.
It was just that the sound of the drum… It was difficult to appreciate it.
Outside, the sun was still raining. The bright light shone in from the cave entrance and landed on Maeve, who was sitting there in simple and elegant sportswear.
It was indescribably gentle and beautiful, ignoring the meditation drum sound.
“Zephyr, you’ve been staring at that girl. Do you like her?” Nolan who had been eyeing the biscuit for a long time, came to Zephyr’s side and asked hesitantly, “I’ll help you woo hier. Can you give me a biscuit?”
Zephyr was stunned. ‘Why did I do such a rude thing just now?‘
“I’m waiting to see when the rain will stop,” Zephyr lowered his eyes and said coldly, “There’s nothing for you. Go away.”
The child burst into tears.
At the same time, Byron followed the sound of the meditation drum and found the location of the cave. With a black umbrella in hand, he stepped into the mud and rain and entered Maeve’s dull vision.
She fixed her gaze and a bright smile bloomed on her face. She raised her hand and waved it. “Ronny, I’m here!”
Byron quickly walked over and grabbed her soft body the moment she jumped up. The umbrella in his hand blocked Zephyr and Nolan’s line of sight.
He lowered his head behind the umbrella and pressed his thin lips against Maeve’s red lips.
“Why are you running around?”
Maeve did not expect him to kiss her so directly. Although he had the umbrella to block it, she still felt ashamed. Her hands pushed against his chest consciously, and her ears were burning
Byron knew what to do. He kissed her soft lips as interest before letting go of her.
Not long after, the rain was about to stop. Maeve waved at Zephyr. “Mr. Soar, we’ll leave first. Be careful.”
“Alright, you too,” Zephyr said gently.
Hearing this, Byron glanced at Zephyr as if he had sensed something. His dark eyes narrowed slightly.
After leaving the cave, Byron held the umbrella with one hand casually wrapped his other hand around her waist, and pull her into his arms.
Then, he asked casually, “Do you know Zephyr?”
“You know him too?” Maeve looked up at him.
“He’s the current CEO of Zephyr Corp. They worked with Mcdaniel Group a few times before.”
Maeve nodded. “Didn’t someone play a prank on me when I was training in Estan? I jumped out of the window and accidentally hit him. I met him the last time I went to the Morris family.”

Chapter 112
Byron looked at her intaningfully I can’t leave you alone in the future.
She attracted people’s attention easily
“Why?” Maeve was puzzled.
“Nothing. Byron casually changed the topic, not giving her a chance to notice. “We’ve found the rest of the treasure map Fragments. When the rain stops, we’ll go get your gift.
Maeve said. “That’s a gift the school prepared for the children, not for me.”
“You’re a child, wo.”
Macve’s cars, which had finally cooled down, began to warm up again. Her heart was beating so fast that her head was buzzing.
Was it her imagination? Why was this man so good at flirting these past two days?
Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, and the waterproofing of the camp tents was good, so it did not affect everyone.
The three treasures hidden in the forest were also found by the children one after another.
Among them, the treasure box that Maeve got was the largest.
She opened it and saw that it was a limited–edition Barbie doll!
Maeve had a Barbie doll when she was a kid. A girl in her neighborhood did not want it and gave it to her. She would fold a small dress with tissue paper for the doll to wear.
Later on, when she grew up and knew how to make clothes, she used old clothes to make new clothes for the doll.
A large part of her love for fashion design stems from this.
Even though she had grown up now, she was still tempted by the Barbie doll.
Seeing Maeve holding the doll with a loving expression, Will and Theo could not help but stomp their feet on the spot.
that Mommy liked it so much, I wouldn’t have slacked off. I would have worked harder to find all the other “If I had know treasures for Mommy!” Theo was angry.
The usually calm Will could not help but say, “Daddy is so sneaky. He clearly said that we would give the gift to Mommy together, but he left us behind.”
Byron was unmoved by the resentful gazes of the two kids. He stared at Maeve’s soft side profile and his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.
It wasn’t Barbie dolls that she seemed to like, but a certain memory that was important to her.
Until the end of the outing, Maeve was in a very good mood. On the way back, she even took out a square napkin and folded a mini dress.
The three of them were stunned. ‘Are girls born with this skill?‘
On the other side, Zephyr sent Nolan back to his house and told Nolan’s father about the stupid things he had done.
As soon as Zephyr stepped out of their house, he heard Nolan’s tragic cry coming from inside.
Zephyr returned home happily. Coincidentally, he saw Aeolian coming down the stairs. He asked, “Aeolian, did you return Ms. Reese’s phone to her?”
