The Heir's Secret Bride novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171
Byron caught Maeve’s bow ribbon with his teeth, giving it a gentle tug to loosen it.
Byron gazed intently at Maeve’s enchanting figure, with shapely contours that exuded sensuality and allure. With a magnetic tone, Byron asked, “Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
A hint of bewilderment appeared in Maeve’s gaze. 1-I’m not sure.”
‘Some foolish individuals can’t even pinpoint their discomfort but dare to seduce me, Byron thought.
He chuckled. “Then what do you want me to do?”
“Kiss me,” Maeve said..
“Didn’t you just tell me not to kiss you?” Byron said.
“No, Maeve said, her cheeks flushed as she boldly took his hand and pressed it against the ribbon. “I meant here…
An electric current shot from Byron’s palm to his spine, and his gaze intensified as the pink ribbon suddenly snapped beneath his fingertips..
It was as if a veil had been lifted, revealing the full allure of Marve’s curves.
Ultimately, Maeve paid the price for her youthful recklessness.
Throughout the night, the only light in the living room came from the dim glow of two scented candles on the table.
As the night wore on, both candles had burned halfway down.
Byron and Maeve did it on the sofa and on the carpet.
The light shone through the glass bathroom door, and a voice filled with grievance and disbelief said, “Didn’t you just say
you lic to me?” were going to give me a bath? How could
“I don’t recall saying when I would give you one,” Byron said.
Maeve sobbed, “Do you have an ounce of humanity left in you?”
“I have no intention of being humane tonight,” Byron said.
Once they entered the master bedroom, Byron placed Maeve on the bed and adjusted her nightgown.
Suddenly, Maeve reacted instinctively, waking up and gripping Byron’s hand. She stared at Byron with tear-filled, red eyes as she pleaded, “No, no more… I’ll die if you continue…”
The effects of the drug had clearly worn off, but Byron, using the excuse of being thorough, was nearly wearing Maeve out completely.
Not a drop of the drug was left in Maeve’s system now.
If Maeve had known this would happen, she would rather go to the hospital than seduce him,
Byron looked at Maeve’s terrified expression and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Didn’t you say that I’m not up to it? What are you afraid of?
“What I said yesterday doesn’t count. I was too young back then, Maeve said, scrunching her flushed face, struggling to keep her eyes open from exhaustion. “I have now matured-I’m a completely different person now,”

Byron chuckled at her words, gently tugging her dress back into place. He climbed into bed and wrapped Maeve in his arms. “I won’t touch you. Sleep.
“Why do I feel like you’re lying to me?” Maeve remembered how Byron had said the exact same thing carlier, only to make her lower her defenses.
Grabbing the collar of his robe, Maeve insisted, “I want you to swear that you are not lying.”
“If you don’t want to sleep, then we can continue,” Byron said.
Maeve was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes. She did not dare to say another word.
Byron’s lips curled into a faint smile as he adjusted her into a comfortable position and simply held her until they both drifted to sleep.
At noon the next day.
Maeve stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at the even more vivid red marks decorating her body after the night, especially the area beneath her collarbone, which looked like a disaster zone.
Her e
Her expression was blank, and her legs wobbled like jelly.
Byron had been so aggressive last night..
Fortunately, I don’t have to go to work today. Otherwise, how am I going to go out like this? Maeve thought.
Maeve washed up and walked out of the bathroom. Coincidentally, Byron came back with a bag of things and was changing his shoes at the entrance.
Byron walked over and said to her, “There’s food on the table. Go wash up and eat.”
As soon as she saw Byron, Maeve could not help but recall the scenes from last night. Her cheeks burned, and she did not dare to look him in the eye.
Maeve hurriedly lowered her eyes and looked at the bag Byron was holding. She changed the topic and asked, “What are
Medicine,” Byron said concisely and placed the bag on the dining table.
Maeve sat down. She felt a little confused and opened the bag to take a look.
It turned out to be a 24-hour emergency contraceptive pill.
The heat on Maeve’s cheeks quickly drained, and her face turned pale. This is for me?”
“Yeah. Byron’s gaze was fixed on her, his tone calm, “There was no preparation last night. This pill is just in case” He added flatly, “I don’t need children.”
“You don’t like children?” Maeve asked.
“I don’t need children.” Byron’s dark eyes remained composed and rational, but there was a faint chill in his words. “We don’t need children between us either”
A sudden ache gripped Maeve’s heart as she saw the growing coldness in Byron’s expression. Her clenched hand was becoming colder by the second.
Maeve thought that their relationship would be different after last night, but it turned out that there was no difference.
Byron had no intention of taking their relationship to the next level. It was just wishful thinking on her part

Sensing that Maeve was in a daze, Byron pursed his thin lips slightly. He cupped the back of her head with one hand and gently turned it toward him. He said in a low voice, “I will never have a child in my life. If you can’t accept it, it’s not too late to regret it now.”
Maeve looked up in a daze and saw his exceptionally solemn face
‘Do I regret it?’ she thought.
Last night, Maeve was undeniably bold, and she could not deny that the effects of the drug played a part.
But deep down, Maeve knew she was just using the drug’s influence as an excuse to do what she had always wanted to do but
never dared.
Therefore. Maeve did not regret it at all.
Moreover, the thought of having kids seemed far too distant for her. No matter how much she liked kids, Maeve was not ready to have one of her own.
It seemed a little silly to worry about a problem that had yet to appear.
After figuring this out, Maeve felt much more relaxed. She deliberately asked Byron, “If I say that I regret it, will you divorce
me now?”
Seeing through her playful intent, Byron raised an eyebrow, “That statement was only valid until yesterday. You missed your chance
Then why are you still asking me that?” Maeve pouted. When she saw that there was something else under the bag, she took it out to take a look.
It was a box of ointment and a small pile of colorful square boxes
When Maeve saw the words on the small square box, Maeve’s face turned red. Her fingers felt as if they had been electrocuted.
she threw those small square boxes at Byron. She was embarrassed and angry. “Byron, are you crazy? Why did you buy so
any of these? Can you even use them all?”
“Why not?” Byron picked up a small box with his fingertips and said casually, “If I don’t buy more, I’m afraid I won’t be able to satisfy you.”
Maeve was so taken aback by his shamelessness that she struggled to find her words. After a while, she said, “Did you forget that the effects of the drug have faded? Is there any need for all these?”
