The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 387

Will and Jaylen did not spend much time together. Even if Will were sad, he would not be sad for long.

But for Theo, Jaylen was not only his senior fellow apprentice but also his godfather who had watched him grow up. Jaylen would teach him medical skills when his master was not available and would also buy him all kinds of strange little gifts. The more Theo liked him, the sadder he felt now.

He almost burst into tears and his face turned red as he sobbed

Will also felt bad seeing him like this, but it was useless to say anything now. Hence, he held Theo's hand and silently comforted him.

After leaving this place, Maeve carried the crying Theo and walked towards the parking lot. He was afraid that Theo would cry and give him a pat on the back.

"Mommy, why did people die?" Theo hugged Maeve's neck tightly and sobbed.

Maeve thought about it and did not use fairy tales to brush him off just because he was young. She said seriously, "Because everyone dies eventually."

Would my family leave me in the future? At the thought of this, Theo bit his lips and wiped Maeve's tears with his chubby hand. "Mommy, don't be sad. I won't cry anymore. I'll definitely study medicine well in the future and let you all live a long life."

His mommy was already feeling terrible, and he did not want to make her feel worse.

Hearing these words, Maeve suddenly remembered the day of Theo's one-year-old catching ceremony.

She had placed many things in front of him, but he had chosen the small medicine chest that Jaylen had accidentally left at her home at that time.

Later, because of his remarkable photographic memory, he won the favor of Rudolf, and Jaylen competed with him to take Theo as his last disciple.

Perhaps because his talent was so high and things came too easily to him, Theo wasn't that enthusiastic about studying medicine. He only kept at it because learning medicine could protect Maeve.

Maeve thought that perhaps things would be different in the future.

She gently pressed her cheek against Theo's chubby little face and softened her voice, saying, "Alright, then Mommy will be waiting."

"Mom, there's still me." Will held the corner of Maeve's shirt and said seriously, "I'll work hard to study. When I position in the future, I'll give all the money I earn to Mom."

That's right. Even now, Will still hadn't forgotten about usurping his father's position.

Maeve didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If your father hears this, your little butt will be in danger."

"I won't. Dad said that as long as I have the ability, I can try at any time."

It was just that he was still too young and could not defeat his father for the time being.

Theo immediately forgot to cry. He kicked up his short legs and said unhappily, "You can't even earn 2 dollars from Stinky Daddy now, and you actually want to snatch the burden of raising Mommy from me! Will, are you getting arrogant?!" 1/3

He had already carned card from Stinky Daddy!

Will snorted sofily. "It's just 2 dollars. Of course I can do it.".

"Then let's take a gamble. If you can earn 4 dollars from Stinky Daddy, I'll believe you."

"Alright, let's bet then.

The two little ones made a bet without a word, leaving Maeve no time to be sad.

After getting into the car, Byron heard Theo burp. His usual soft voice was hoarse from crying. Byron had mixed feelings.

He thought, "The little guy suddenly lost his biological father at such a young age. It was quite pitiful. I should not bully him so much in the future. No matter what, he was still Maeve's son. Macve probably did not intend to hand him over to Chatterly family. It was not a big deal. I could afford to raise him

"Dad, can I discuss something with you?" Will moved to Byron's side and whispered guiltily.

Byron grunted. "What's wrong?"

"Can you give me 4 dollars?" Will, who had never taken the initiative to ask her father for pocket money, blushed and felt very embarrassed. Byron was slightly surprised. '4 dollars?'

He took the money clip out of his pocket and gave it to Will. "Daddy doesn't have change. Only a hundred. You can take as much as you want." Will looked at Theo and wanted to say that he had earned it.

Theo stuck out his tongue at Will and mouthed, "It's all hundred. It has nothing to do with 4 dollars!"This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Will did not understand, but was extremely shocked. 'How could he actually calculate it like this?'

Maeve understood at a glance. Theo was deliberately digging a hole for Will.

There was an extremely small amount of cash in Byron's wallet. It was all cards.

It was simply impossible to get 4 dollars from him.

This was setting a verbal trap.

"What's the matter?" Byron asked in a low voice as Will didn't take the wallet for a long time.

Maeve couldn't help reminding him, "Byron, your son is sad because you can't even come up with 4 dollars."

Byron was quite puzzled.

Theo patted Will's shoulder like a good brother. "Forget it. Your father is the richest man in Kleymond. He doesn't even have 4 dollars." Byron was puzzled again.

Will sighed and turned to Byron. "Forget it, Dad. I didn't know you didn't have 4 dollars. I shouldn't have asked you for it." With a tone that seemed to say "I didn't even know you were this poor."

Byron was left speechless, choked with emotions.

Maeve, who had been depressed since she came out of the cemetery, suddenly felt much better and burst out laughing.

Hearing her laughter, the two little ones could not help but feel relieved.

That's great. Mom's finally happier, they thought.

Byron sensed something. He raised his hand and rubbed Will's Head and snorted. "I'll let it go this time. If you're still so incompetent next time, I'll find you a few more family teachers Will was extremely helpless. "Don't... Dad."

After sending the two little ones home, Byron instructed the driver to send Maeve to the studio first.

The black Spyker drove forward steadily. Maeve leaned against the seat and was a little sleepy. Her head was nodding bit by

bit.

She had not slept well for the past few days and was mentally exhausted..

"Theo is your son with Jaylen?" Byron's sudden words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, blowing away Maeve's sleepiness. She opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion. "... What?"

Maeve felt very puzzled. 'What did he say??'

Byron's face under the sunglasses was expressionless, and his tone was indifferent. "I knew about this long ago."

"What?" Maeve were dumbfounded. "How did you know? No, what do

you know?"

Theo was her son, sure, but she couldn't for the life of her figure out what that had to do with Jaylen.

"That's not important," he replied.

"That's not important?!" Maeve's head was almost knotted. "Why do you think Theo is Jaylen's son?"

She couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Byron thought that she did not want him to know about this, so she denied it with a complicated expression.

He said, "On the day of the Arts and Theatrical festival at the Islaton Private International Kindergarten, Jaylen himself said that he hoped to hear Theo call him daddy again, didn't he?"

The word "again" was very spiritual.

This meant that Theo had once called Jaylen daddy, but later on, for some reason, Theo refused to call him daddy. Furthermore, with Theo's personality, he was not someone who would call anyone "daddy" casually.
