The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 416 Thinking like this, Will was quite interested in the weapons made by Loren.

*B He liked taking things apart. Whenever he saw something, his hands itched to know its exact structure so that he could then try to put it back together.

However, Will knew his limits and wouldn't make such an unreasonable request to Loren.

In the end, Loren had already heard about his hobbies from Theo. After dinner, he took them to his private collection.

room.

"You can play with whatever you want in here. If it's not enough, there are more next door. Don't be polite with me." Loren waved his hand as if he was just getting a few toys to amuse them Looking around the huge collection room, the glass cabinets were neatly arranged, and various small weapons that looked unassuming but were actually highly lethal were placed inside, like sleeping black beasts of prey.

The small toys made by tören were prepared for members of specific departments in the country and were of a more suitable size for handling.

Of course, it was impossible to move those large weapons out of the factory.

Will and Theo stared intently, showing a rare childish delight.

Uncle Loren! Your collection has grown again!" Theo picked up a small infrared short cannon in a very familiar way, his childish voice bubbling with joy.

"You like it?" Loren rubbed his chin. "It's just that it's too big for you to hold easily. Wait forto improve it, and I'll give you one." Theo immediately put it down. "Then I'd better not. Mommy said that children shouldn't play with such dangerous things." Loren was amused. He pointed at Will, who had already taken apart the laser pistol. "What are you afraid of? Look, your brother isn't even afraid." 'This kid's practical ability was almost on a par with his.

Maeve's children were really one smarter than the other.

"Won't Mommy spank his butt?" Theo's little face puffed up. "I have a lot of meat on my butt. Mommy likes to spank me." Sometimes she would even pretend to be angry and spank his little butt.

His little butt had endured too much! Will looked up and gave Loren a shy smile. "Uncle Loren, I'll put it back together properly. Don't worry." "I'm not worried." Loren looked at this little face that was exactly the sas Theo's. There was no sense of unfamiliarity like the first tthey met. He couldn't help but pat his head. "I told you to play as you like. It doesn't matter even if you break it. I have plenty more in my factory." Theo sat down with the short cannon in his arms and said in a childish voice, "If you're a bit sweeter with your words, Uncle Loren will be so happy that he'll give you a box of these things. He likes giving people gifts." ...Did you give Mommy any?" Loren rubbed the tip of his nose uncomfortably. "On your mother's birthday the year before last, I gave her a miniature 1/3 17:31 Wed, Dec 4 GG.

Chapter 416 high-energy cannon. It's the kind that can set off fireworks. I accidentally alerted the palace guards and almost got the two of us caught. She almost broke off with me." Will immediately fell silent. He was not surprised at all.

Maeve was indeed not very interested in these weapons, so she didn't go with them.

She tidied up the things she needed for tomorrow's study in her room and then leaned on the table to start drawing design sketches.

She kept drawing until about 8:30 pm. The two little ones were probably having so much fun that they still hadn't shown up.

Taking advantage of their absence, Maeve secretly ordered takeout for herself.

Drawing took too much out of her brain cells. She needed sdrinks to boost her energy.

It definitely wasn't because she was greedy.

Half an hour later, Maeve crept downstairs to get the takeout.

She never gave these things to the two little ones to eat, so she couldn't let them find out, or else Theo would start drooling. Maeve got the takeout. After thanking the delivery rider, she was about to go back when she suddenly felt a deep, intense gaze on her.

She felt a shiver run down her spine and abruptly turned her head.

She saw a tall and slender figure standing under a street lamp not far away. The orange light shone down, casting layers of light and shadow that crisscrossed around him.

Half of his face was hidden in the dim light, and his expression couldn't be clearly seen.

Even from a few meters away, Maeve could sense the intimidating aura of danger emanating from him.

She hadn't expected him to show up here.

It was as if... he was chasing after her.

An alarm suddenly went off in Maeve's mind. For sreason, she subconsciously wanted to flee.

Just as she ran to the iron gate, a hand suddenly swept past Maeve's ear, passing through sof her hair, and pressed firmly on the gate that she had just opened a few inches. With a clang, the iron gate closed.

Maeve's heart was pounding with this movement. Her uneasy premonition had reached its peak.

The cold fragrance of cedar that was unique to Byron wafted from behind her, invading her breath inch by inch, making her emotions instantly chaotic.

His low, cold voice sounded above her head, tinged with a hint of mockery. "Why are you running? What have you done to wrong me?" The back of Maeve's head felt numb. She clenched her fists tightly to drive away the sudden, unfounded panic in her heart. She turned around, feigning calm as she met his dark, fierce eyes. "You cto see me? What do you want?" "Are you sure you wantto say it here?" Byron's eyes were cold and there was also a hint of weariness and irritability from the long flight, 17:31 Wed, Dec 4 Chapter 416 Maeve bit her lip. "What else can I do? If you have something to say, just say it. If there's nothing. I'll leave first." Byron grasped her wrist. There seemed to be a dark storm brewing in his eyes, mixed with an alarming anger. Maeve was shocked by his imposing manner, and her throat tightened slightly.

'Could it be that he cspecifically to settle scores withbecause I brought Will along? But I am Will's mother. Do I need to ask for his permission to take Will anywhere?" During the standoff, Loren's voice suddenly cfrom the inteat the door. "Maeve, are you in trouble? Do you need my help?"

He had taken a look at the surveillance camera at the door when he went to the kitchen to poundrinks and saw that Maeve was with a strange man, so he was a bit worried. Maeve cback to her senses. "No, I'm fine. This is my... my friend. We have something to talk about." Byron looked at her coldly. "The trusted friend she was talking about was a man?'

"I see. It's cold here at night. Bring your friend inside and have a chat You can use the room downstairs. I still have to bring them upstairs to play for a while," Loren said again. Maeve nodded hastily. "Alright, thank you." ""You're welcome." The intebeeped and then fell silent.

Maeve took a light breath and said to Byron, "Follow me." Byron put his hands in the outer pockets of his windbreaker and followed her expressionlessly inside.

Maeve led him to the guest room on he the first floor. She turned around and looked at him with a blank face.m "What on earth do you want with me? Surely you didn't call this way because you missed me?" "Do you think that's possible?" Byron asked coldly in return. 'Of course, Maeve knew it wasn't. She was deliberately trying to get on his nerves.

How could he miss her? He had even said she was an eyesore last time.
