Chapter 448

Theo looked up obediently. After Will was done, he said, "We'll investigate this later. I want to see Mommy."

They had agreed to split up, but since they could catch Sandy and Fiora in one go, Mommy might not have listened to them and put herself in danger.

In the hospital, facing the two little guys' aggrieved gazes, Maeve panicked.

"Baby, listen to Mommy's explanation."

Theo looked at her sadly. "Mommy, you don't love us anymore."

Maeve quickly stopped. "How can that be? How can Mommy not love you guys?"

"Mommy, why are you risking your life if you love us? Didn't we agree to pretend to faint to lure out the mastermind? Why are you taking poison on purpose?" Theo's little heart was cold as he complained, "If anything happens to you, Mommy, Will and I will be orphans. No one will love or donate to us in the future. We will be even more miserable than the weeds by the roadside!"

Will said nothing. His eyes were red as he pursed his lips and looked at Maeve. His expression made Maeve feel even guiltier than if he had spoken.

Maeve immediately cowered and explained weakly, "No, Mommy didn't take the risk on purpose. It's just that if I don't take some poison, the police won't investigate this matter properly. Then wouldn't I have acted for nothing?"

"Moreover, when Mommy drank it, she calculated it was exactly the amount that could be found to be poisoned but not life-threatening."

Maeve had to take this risk, not only to find out who had poisoned her, but also to expose the person behind it. That way, if that person wanted to do something to her in the future, they would have to weigh the pros and cons.

"I don't want to hear it! Unless you promise you won't do it again, I will cry!" Theo said shamelessly. Will was even more ruthless. "If Mom does this again, I'll punish myself by not eating for three days."

Maeve screamed for help in her heart. What kind of scoundrels were these? They had her under their control! Did their biological mother still have any dignity?

Maeve surrendered. "Alright, alright, alright. I promise I won't do such a thing again. No crying, and no hunger strikes! Let's talk things out. Everything can be discussed!" The two children immediately relaxed. Their identical faces appeared in the same scene, doubling their cuteness.

But who would have thought that these two fair, fat, soft, and cute little things were filled with black sesame seeds? Maeve sighed. "I don't have any dignity as a mommy at all."

"Mommy, open your mouth and eat the apple." Theo pricked a piece of apple and brought it to Maeve's mouth. "Or do you want to eat strawberries?"

"Mommy, do you want honeydew? Crystal honeydew is abundant here. It doesn't taste much yet." Will turned around and began to cut the honeydew.

Forget it. If it was gone, so be it! While eating fruit, Maeve suddenly thought of something and quickly reminded them, "Don't tell your father about this. He's been very busy recently. Don't distract him." Whether Byron was distracted or not was secondary; the main thing was that she was afraid of being scolded.

However, the possibility was very low. Byron had been quite gentle with her recently. He might not scold her for such a small matter.

Then, Maeve was scolded.

For a full ten minutes, Byron mocked her coldly without repeating a word. "If you don't want to live anymore, I can fulfill your wish. If you want to die, you can only die in my bed."

Maeve's legs went weak, and her body trembled as she leaned away from the camera. He wanted to hear her explanation. Maeve had already said she knew she wouldn't let anything happen to her. All they could receive was the sentence "taking the initiative to drink poison." Why were her other words blurred?

Maeve did not dare to refute these words in front of Byron. She could only complain in her heart. When he came back, there would probably be another bloodbath.

Maeve's ears burned when Byron recalled what he said to her before he went on a business trip. Her hand trembled and she accidentally hung up the video. "Oh no."

Fortunately, Byron did not call again. He was probably busy. Maeve had just heard his assistant tell him the meeting was about to begin.

Maeve heaved a sigh of relief. As for waiting for him to come back, Maeve could still survive.

Maeve rested for the entire afternoon and was discharged when she felt there was nothing else to do. She was preparing for tonight's banquet.

Night fell.

The golden palace in the center of the capital was solemn. The banquet hall in front of the east garden was brightly lit. Guests came and went, toasting each other.

After the day's inauguration ceremony ended, Crown Prince Tom and Loren appeared together. They were dressed in platinum palace uniforms, and the medals on their shoulders shone brightly, unable to hide their noble and elegant aura.

More importantly, these two outstanding princes were both single.

Many single noble ladies present covered their faces with fans, revealing only a pair of loving eyes. Then they saw the two princes walking in the same direction. "Maeve Reese."

"Hi!"

Looking at the voices, the young ladies saw a woman in a light golden tube dress. Her black hair was tied up, revealing a beautiful face. With one look, more than half of them left.

Maeve was looking for Tom and Loren. When she saw them coming over, Maeve raised her hand and shook it. "Tom, Loren."

The two little ones, wearing black and white tuxedos and bow ties, also greeted them.

"Will, Theo, you guys are dressed so cutely today." Loren was extremely charmed by the two little ones. He squatted down and looked at their appearance. "Cool and handsome!"

Theo, who was in a white suit, raised his head and puffed out his chest. "Of course! Mommy said that we're the prettiest children present today!"

Maeve said slightly embarrassed, "Kid, you'd better be more humble."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Loren." A Duke brought his wife to greet Tom and Loren. When he saw Maeve and the others, he asked curiously, "I wonder if these are Your Highness's?" "They are my friends." Tom looked at Maeve and the two little ones. "This is the Duke of Deman."

Will nodded slightly. He placed his small hand in front of his chest and bowed elegantly. "Hello, I'm Will."

Theo, having grown up in the palace, showed no fault in his etiquette. "Hello, I'm Theo."

"Hello." When Maeve thought of the two little ones' self-introduction, her brain suddenly twitched. The words "I am Maeve Reese" that were about to come out of her mouth suddenly became, "I am seasoning." "Pardon me?"

"Pfft," Tom and Loren responded.

The two little ones thought to themselves, Mommy is so cute!
