Chapter 497

Maeve guiltily asked, "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet."

"I went out today and forgot to tell you. Are you angry?"

There was a pause. Then Byron asked, "Aren't you in Greenhaven?"

Maeve was silent. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed I've been gone for a day."

"I was busy today, so I didn't notice," Byron said calmly. "Besides, it's your business where you go."

"Mr. McDaniel, your coffee." Molly's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Maeve was stunned. She tightened her grip on the blanket. "Did you go back to Kleymond?"

"Yes." Byron had no intention of explaining further. He simply said, "I have something to do. I'm hanging up."

After he hung up, Maeve's disappointed expression was reflected on the dark phone screen. She felt weak. She lay on the pillow, her mind blank. Then, she texted Bonnie, asking if Byron had looked for her today.

Bonnie: [No, I thought after you ran away, Mr. McDaniel would come looking for you. He didn't even come for a day! Men are so heartless.]

Maeve: [It's not that men are heartless, but their hearts are broken into 108 pieces. Each piece falls in love with a different woman.]

Bonnie: [Mr. McDaniel didn't even notice you ran away, right?]

Maeve: [Not only did he not notice, but he also left and returned to Kleymond. I checked my phone and saw no missed calls or messages from him.]

In other words, Byron seemed to have forgotten about her and left without knowing she had gone to the Morris family. Last night in the car, he seemed to want to be with her, but he completely changed today. More importantly, he hung up on her the moment Molly appeared.

Maeve's heart ached. She tossed and turned, trying to get rid of the voice she'd heard on the phone. However, no matter how much she pretended not to care, she still did.

While feeling depressed, she received another message from Bonnie.

Bonnie: [I just got a call. My mother arranged another blind date. I'm so annoyed.]

Bonnie: [I understand. All men need stimulation. Why don't you just break up with him? We can be together happily. In the future, my assets will be left to Will and Theo.]

Chapter 497

The two chased each other for a while, and they were both out of breath.

At the same time, in Byron's office…

Molly came in to deliver coffee. As soon as she did, Byron had the impression of repose, the box, and to talk to her readily, the family muddle…

After hanging up, Byron tapped on his work and the calls and text messages didn’t stop sending.

Maeve's tone just now...

"Of course I'm experienced, dude? Kay, youth we chased..." "See? We all live this. The more you try to keep your control, the less she takes you seriously. If you suddenly become cold, she definitely won't be able to tell if you don't believe me, you'll know when the time comes to you..." Byron frowned slightly. "Where did you get that experience from? Didn't your previous relationship end with you being dumped?"

Kay felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife. Byron used to take her on dates and spoiled her so much that she thought she couldn't do without him.

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up like this. Bro, I'm reminding you as someone who's been through this before."

"You can't dote on girls. Once you do, they'll do anything but…"

With just one sentence, the bitter tears in his eyes were about to fall.

Byron looked at him in disdain. "In that case, your experience is useless."

"Your words are so hurtful. I used my first love to try the wrong path for you, and you actually despise me." Ray pretended to be sad. "You make me so sad that you forget about me when you have a new flame…"

"Get out," Byron said coldly.

The next morning, when Maeve checked out, she met Aeolian and Zephyr downstairs.

It was a small world.

"Why are you following us everywhere?"

Aeolian glared at Maeve, as if afraid she would cling to Zephyr.

Maeve ignored her and walked past them. Zephyr happened to have his back to her, his line of sight blocked by Aeolian. He didn't deliberately look at her.

He lowered his voice and asked the person on the other end of the phone, "How's the surveillance footage? Have you found the person who attacked my car?"

"Mr. Soar, the surveillance cameras in the parking lot malfunctioned last night. The roadside camera captured someone passing by at the time. We will investigate and find this person as soon as possible."

Michael promised.

Zephyr paused. "Also, please look for the kind person who sent us a note. I think it's a woman."

Maeve hadn't gone far when she heard that. She stopped and turned to look at Zephyr. The car that was suspected to have been tampered with last night was his? Moreover, it sounded like she had guessed correctly. There was something wrong with the man in the cap.

Maeve looked away thoughtfully. This was good. They were even now.

Aeolian saw that Maeve had some self-awareness and wasn't bothering him. She muttered something and turned to see Zephyr staring at the slightly crumpled note again. She asked, "Zephyr, how did you know it was a woman who wrote this note?"

"The handwriting," Zephyr raised the note. "It's elegant, not very strong. Only a girl could write it."

Aeolian frowned. She had just gotten rid of Maeve; she hoped there wouldn't be another troublesome woman.

Aeolian rolled her eyes. "She didn't write her name, so she definitely doesn't want anyone to know. We're looking for her so openly. What if the murderer finds out and takes revenge?"

"I've already reminded Michael to look discreetly and not let anyone find out."

Speaking of this, Zephyr glanced at Aeolian and said earnestly, "She risked retaliation to warn us. She saved our lives; we have to remember this favor and repay it in the future."

"Got it." Aeolian nodded perfunctorily and didn't take it to heart.

Zephyr could tell she wasn't mature. He sighed slightly. It was probably because the Soar family only had Aeolian over the years. She was pampered because she was supported by her older brother. Zephyr hoped she could grow up while she was still by her father's side. Otherwise, if the Soar family were to be handed over to her in the future…

"Hello, the person who was with you just now, Ms. Reese, left her phone. Can I trouble you to pass it to her?" The receptionist suddenly asked.
