Andres was still fuming, so his tone was less than pleasant.
"I couldn't sleep without them."
His pregnant wife had been framed and thrown into a detention center. It would have been a miracle if he could sleep peacefully.
Not to mention, the other reason he took them was to use his dreams to reach her as quickly as possible.
Maeve gave his arm a punishing pinch.
"You got to sleep like the dead, while I had to stay awake all night."
She knew he would do something extreme to see her, and she had been completely right.
"Whitty, we're setting ground rules today."
"If anything like this ever happens again, whether you go out partying, chatting with friends, drinking, or playing cards, you leave the sleeping to me."
After pulling an all-nighter, she was practically dead on her feet.
Andres instantly blew up.
"You think this is going to happen a second time?"
Maeve rolled her eyes at him.
"Life is unpredictable. Who knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident?"
Before she could finish, Andres slapped a hand over her mouth.
"From this moment on, I forbid any more accidents."
Maeve was utterly speechless.
He really thought he was the master of the universe.
Pushing his hand away, she asked, "Did my Master show up?"
The other reason she had willingly walked into the trap was to draw Griffin out of hiding.
He said he'd be back in two days.
In the blink of an eye, almost half a month had passed.
The question caught Andres off guard.
"I have no idea where the Master is. The Grover family only caved because Hugh stepped in and pressured them."
Normally, bailing someone out was something he could handle with a single phone call.
The only reason it had been such a headache this time was because Faye's family had intervened.
She had always found Hugh incredibly mysterious.
Having dealt with him over the phone once before, she could easily read between the lines—his relationship with Griffin was anything but simple.
Choosing to meet them right now suggested a rather intriguing motive.
Surprisingly, the meeting location Hugh provided was a place Maeve had been before.
It was a luxury mansion on the outskirts of Aethelburg belonging to Quinn Hayes.
Guided by the GPS, the car drew closer and closer to the estate.
Finally, they rolled to a stop right in front of Quinn's front doors.
Being as sharp as she was, Maeve instantly figured out what was going on.
Before getting out of the car, she dialed Quinn's number.
Likely guessing she was coming to chew him out, Quinn rejected the call.
Pulling up his chat, Maeve typed out a single line: 'If you have any guts, make sure I don't catch you in this lifetime.'
A few seconds later, Quinn's reply came through: 'Mercy, Your Majesty.'
