The Heir's Secret Bride novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 

Maeve came out of the changing room and took the card to the single–person jacuzzi that she had reserved. 

It was surrounded by greenery, and the lighting was just right. The misty pool was sprinkled with rose petals, and the fragrance was pleasant 

Marve 

squatted down and scooped up some water. The perfect temperature made her eyes crinkle. 

Suddenly, there was the sound of water in front of the pool. 

Immediately after, a low and cold voice sounded. “Who’s there?” 

The voice was extremely textured, exuding an invisible coldness that bound one’s throat. It broke through the mist and hit Maeve’s eardrums. 

Her entire body stiffened. It was as if she was rooted to the spot, unable to move. 

This voice was too familiar. Even after four years, she could still recognize it accurately when she heard the voice again. 

It was Byron. 

On the other side of the pool, Byron turned around and glared at Maeve. 

His brown hair was wet. Water droplets dripped down his handsome brows, streaked across his brown and cold eyes, and down his high nose bridge, creating a soul–stirring beauty. 

Compared to the capable and aggressive upstart businessman four years ago, he was more calm and reserved now. 

He had completely become the leader of the Mcdaniel Group. 

The last time they met by the roadside, Maeve still had room to hide. 

However, now that she was being stared at by those sharp eyes, she could not move at all. 

“Sir, you’re in the wrong place.” After a long time, Maeve said calmly. “This is the jacuzzi pool I reserved.” 

A hint of ridicule flashed past Byron’s eyes. “Is it interesting?” 

Maeve frowned. “What?” 

Byron sneered and immediately got up from the misty water. His strong upper body muscles were well–defined, and his well–proportioned muscles added a touch of explosive beauty. 

It could be seen that he had a habit of keeping fit. 

This was probably the scene of a handsome man coming out of the bath. 

However, this scenery was quickly hidden under the bathrobe and could not be seen. 

With a cold expression, Byron fastened the belt of his bathrobe and approached Maeve step by step. He stood in front of her, his eyes filled with disdain. “You’re still the same as before. You’ll do anything to get my attention.” 

The corner of Maeve’s mouth twitched. She was almost amused by those words. “You went to the wrong place and used my jacuzzi pool. Yet, you turned the tables on me. Fine, since you’ve used this pool, I don’t want to use it anymore. I’ll leave, okay? 

Maeve thought, ‘He made it sound as if I’ve deliberately bumped into him. 

Chapter 225 

Maeve was furious. She stood up and was about to leave. 

In the end, either because the floor was too slippery or because she accidentally stepped on a spot with water, her feet suddenly slipped and she crashed straight into Byron 

She subconsciously wanted to grabs something to stabilize herself, so she did not notice Byron’s angry expression. 

“Ouch!” Maeve only saw a flash of white before she fell into the pool behind her. 

“Splash” 

“Splash!” 

The sound of two people falling into the water could be heard one after another. The splash caused the tiles and cobblestones on the shore to be wet. 

Marve choked on a few mouthfuls of water. At the thought that this was Byron’s bath water, she was so angry that she wanted to curse. 

However, the next moment, the pain in her ankle made her face turn pale. Her body sank as if it was filled with lead. 

The main feature of the resort was naturally the jacuzzi. The jacuzzi here was deeper than the usual jacuzzi. It was only available for special guests and service staff was always around. 

However. Byron did not like people around him, and no one would be tactless enough to disturb him. 

Byron came out of the water. The displeasure of being pulled down by Maeve made his dripping face look as if it was covered in a layer of ice. His expression was dark and gloomy. 

He turned around and leaned against the shore, suddenly realizing that something was wrong. 

He looked back, but there was no sign of Maeve in the pool. 

Byron’s expression did not change. He cursed softly, “This idiot! 

Then, without hesitation, he sank into the water 

A splash was heard. 

There was a ripple on the surface of the water. Byron put his arm around Maeve’s shoulder and brought her to the shore. After laying her flat on the ground, he patted her cheek. 

Her eyes were tightly closed, and her face was frighteningly pale. Fortunately, she was still breathing. 

Byron held her chin with one hand and the back of her head with the other to give her mouth–to–mouth resuscitation. 

After a few moments, Maeve coughed out the water in her lungs and woke up in a daze. She looked at Byron’s handsome face that was inches away from her and her eyes widened.. 

“You…” Marve coughed. “What are you doing?” 

When Byron saw that she had woken up, his Adam’s apple bobbed. He pushed her shoulders away coldly and stood up to -look down at her. 

There was no warmth in his eyes, only disgust. 

“Such pretense and seduction tactics are outdated, Maeve.” After saying that coldly, he strode away from her without looking 

back.

Chapter 225 

Maeve held her aching ankle and gritted her teeth as she glared at his back. 

Maeve thought. “Who seduced him What is there about him that is worth seducing? Is it his arrogant face, or his bad. temper 

However, very quickly, her brain, which had yet to recover, slowly realized a problem. 

She wondered why Byron was only wearing a towel around his lower body. Where was his bathrobe? 

Maeve suddenly remembered that she had grabbed something before she fell into the water. The texture was very similar to… a bathrobe. 

She looked back at the pool woodenly and saw the bathrobe Byron was wearing 

Maeve found the situation crazy, 

She covered her eyes. Her head was throbbing.
