The Heir's Secret Bride

Byron's words were like a spell that echoed repeatedly in Maeve mind.

He wasn't joking. He was actually warning her.

Maeve held her stomach tightly with both hands with panic suddenly engulfing her entire body.

What should I do? Keep it, or abort it?' She had no clue. She had been suffering in her heart for a few days and could not make a decision.

She still received the medicinal cuisine from Nightfall Manor on time every day, but she didn't have much appetite so she just took a little every time. Fortunately, Byron had been busy until late at night recently and had already gone out before she woke up in the moming, so he did not notice this.

For the past few days. Maeve could not help but recall Byron's expression.

When he mentioned the child, his eyes were unprecedentedly cold, accompanied by a trace of disgust. Compared to hating children for being troublesome, it was more like there was something else going on in his mind.

However, she knew almost nothing about his past and could not figure it out at all.

In the afternoon, after handing the new spring design to Leah, Maeve got off work early and went to the Hancock family.

"How can there be a man who doesn't want a child after getting married?" Bonnie gave a blow. "Your friend's husband is so rich and handsome. It's impossible that he doesn't want a child. Then, it can only be that their relationship is not good enough.

"Not good enough?" Maeve's heart sank. "But... my friend's husband usually treats her well. Maybe he's just stubborn when it comes to children, right?"

Bonnie was eating chips. Then you have to tell your friend to be careful. Is her husband having another woman outside?"

""Huh?" Maeve widened her eyes.

"Or that man's heart had been occupied but he was forced to marry your friend. So he hoped her true love would give birth to his child." Bonnie talked like an experienced expert. "I've seen this kind of situation many times in the game. There's even a plot where the true love is infertile. Then that asshole man waits for his wife to give birth to a child and divorces her before giving the child to that woman!"

Maeve's throat froze as she thought about that scene. Even if she died, she would never tolerate her child calling someone else mom.

"Maeve, you can't take things too hard. Don't have a child so early. Bonnie said earnestly. "Your friend is a good example. Not to mention that you've only known him for just a short period of time. You haven't even understood his character.

"Now that you don't have a child, you can still leave yourself a way out. If you find he's not a good man one day, that can stop your losses in time. Even if he's not bad, you're not in a hurry to have one baby at such a young age. Wouldn't it be good to enjoy yourself for a few more years? Being a mother is exhausting and unrewarding. Why trap yourself in your family?"

"Bonnie, thank you." Maeve was warmed by the genuine worry in Bonnie's eyes, but the worry in her own heart grew - stronger.

She had never planned to have a child so soon. However, she did not expect that the two contraceptive pills would not stop the arrival of this child.

God must have played a huge joke on her.

"What if, I mean what if I'm pregnant?" Maeve asked hesitantly. Do you think I should keep this child?"

Bonnie hit the nail on the head. "Unless your relationship has developed to that point, you'd better not keep it. There are too many examples of wives in rich. families trying to use children to retain a man's heart, but in the end, they didn't end up well. You don't have this thought, but I'm afraid others will think that you do."

No one could say for sure when it came to relationships.

Maeve lowered her eyes to hide the worries. "Never mind, I know very well that a man's heart can't be kept. I've never thought of doing that."

She liked Byron and she liked him so much. But she would not lose herself.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Maeve subconsciously touched her lower abdomen and quietly made a decision in her heart.

The next day, in the hospital.

"Are you sure you want to undergo an abortion? The doctor put the report on the table with a regretful expression. "It's rare to get pregnant with twins, less than one percent. It's quite a pity to abort them. Upon hearing this, Maeve's eyes suddenly shrank. "I... I'm pregnant with twins?"

"Yes. The doctor nodded. "And your uterus wall is quite thin. If you do this surgery, it might be very difficult to conceive again in the future. I suggest you think about it carefully."

Maere's face turned pale. 'I will have a difficult pregnancy in the future if I abort this child now. Really? Is it worth it?

Her head was in a mess. She thought of Byron's cold and heartless face, then Bonnie's sincere look.

At last, her gaze landed on the ultrasound report. It had only been a month, and it could barely show that it was the size of a bean.

However, Maeve's heart instantly softened. Her reluctance had reached its peak.

Before she knew that she was pregnant, she had gotten into trouble twice. The first time, she bled. The second was a long period of discomfort caused by a glass of red wine. Even so, her kids stayed strong in her stomach. And she had made such a rash decision. If they knew that she didn't want them, would they... feel sad?

"I'm sorry, Doctor. I've changed my mind. I want to keep it. Maeve left the office with the report. Before she could compose herself, she saw a familiar figure walking over. "Maeve?" Alex approached with a surprised expression. "Why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?"

Maeve was also stunned. "No, I'm not feeling unwell. What are you doing in the gynecology department?"

Alex heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that she was fine. "I came with my mother for a checkup and happened to see you, so I came to take a look."

"Is your mother not well?" Maeve asked.

"It's an old problem. Not serious. Alex waved his hand slightly.

Maeve pursed her lips and smiled. "That's good."

It's on

Alex looked at her smile and his heart skipped a beat. "Maeve, are you free tonight? I want to have dinner with you. It's on me. Also... I have something to tell you." 5

It was probably something-inappropriate to say in the hospital.

Maeve did not think too much about it. She smiled and nodded. "Sure. Where are we going to eat?"

Alex was about to give the address when she suddenly felt something behind his back and turned around.

"What's wrong?" Maeve's eyes were filled with confusion.

"Hmm... I think I heard the sound of taking photos just now." Alex did not notice anything and retracted his gaze. "Maybe I'm wrong.

At the same time, Karen was hiding in the corner, looking at the photo on her phone and sneering.

She was here just to check on her body, but she did not expect to have such a big surprise that Maeve came to the gynecology and obstetrics department with another man. Perhaps she was fooling around outside and was pregnant with a bastard child.
