Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 563

Maisie was drowning in guilt, keeping her head bowed, unable to meet Mason's gaze.

They had just returned from the main estate.

Their mother had given her another batch of fertility supplements, demanding she find an opportunity to secure a Miller family heir as soon as possible.

How could she possibly say that out loud?

Seeing his sister remain silent, Mason didn't push her.

But remembering the situation with Gideon, he offered a gentle warning.

"Since you and Gideon broke up, it's best if you keep your distance. Cut off contact completely. With enough time, he'll naturally move on."

Maisie nodded stiffly. "I know."

"As for the two of us, have you thought it over? Do you want to go get our marriage license?"

Mason knew that his sister had initiated things that night.

But he also knew she had been coerced by their mother.

He didn't blame her in the slightest.

If she was willing, he was prepared to take full responsibility.

Whether she wanted marriage or anything else.

He would give her whatever she needed without hesitation.

But Maisie shook her head in refusal.

"No. You don't need to marry me. I just need you to... to..."

She struggled to get the words out, finding it impossibly hard to make such a request of the man who raised her.

Mason looked at her, his expression growing serious. "Need me to do what?"

Maisie kept her head down. Her heart was hammering against her ribs, her breathing turning shallow and fast.

Seeing that the little girl beside them was happily eating her breakfast, completely oblivious to their conversation...

She took a deep breath, gathered all her courage, and blurted out her plea.

"I want to give birth to a Miller family heir. Will you help me?"

Mason's eyes turned frighteningly dark, his complexion draining of all color.

Just as he suspected, it was their mother's order.

Because their mother couldn't control him directly, she had pinned her twisted hopes on her adopted daughter, entirely willing to shatter the bond they shared as siblings.

His mother's ruthlessness knew no bounds.
