The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 498

Ms. Reese Zephyr thought of the slender figure he had seen from the corner of his eye just now. He hesitated for a moment and took the phone with an apricot-colored case from the receptionist. There was a small blue Doraemon pendant hanging on it.

Aeolian gritted her teeth. Maeve must have done it on purpose! She just wants to take the opportunity to attract Zephyr's attention so that she can get close to him!

Zephyr, let me give it to her. It's not appropriate for you to be too close to her. Anyway, I know where her studio is."

Aeolian's words made sense, so Zephyr gave her the phone...

"Give it to her properly. Don't keep saying things that don't fit your image," Zephyr reminded her.

"She's always the one who provokes me first! Zephyr, you don't know that she's..."

In order to completely eliminate the possibility of Maeve hooking up with Zephyr, Aeolian spared no effort in defaming

ber.

Zephyr thought that Aeolian was acting and did not take it to heart.

After the plane landed, Maeve, who realized that her phone was missing, stood at the airport and was dumbfounded.

It was definitely unrealistic to go back and look for it now. Besides, she couldn't even remember when she had dropped it.

Fortunately, Bonnie arrived at Kleymond's airport around the same time as her. She immediately brought Maeve to buy a new phone and get a new SIM card.

After logging into the account, the original data slowly recovered.

Maeve held the new phone and was a little sad. "Will gave me the small pendant on the old phone. I treasure it very much. I hope the person who picked up my phone can treat it well and not let it suffer."

"Oh my. You should be worried that the person who picked up the phone will spy on our high-speed racing record. Otherwise, both of us will be ashamed."

Maeve was silent. She began to recall if there was anything in her photo album that was humiliating.

Coincidentally, just as she put the card in, Clem called.

"Clem?" she asked.

"Maeve, I'm going back to Chris Continent in an hour. Are you free to meet me now?" Clem's slightly anxious voice sounded.

Maeve scratched her cheek. "Well... I ran into something at work yesterday. I went to the Mo family's private island and went straight back to Kleymond this morning. I'm sorry, Clem."

Clem was silent for two seconds before sighing. "We always seem to miss each other."

Every time they met, they would meet in such a hurry and leave without any warning.

They couldn't even bid farewell.

Chapter 498

It was a little inappropriate.

"It's alright, Clem. Last time, I treated you to a meal. The next time you return to Kleymond, it'll be your turn to treat me After Maeve comforted him, she joked as usual. "You've earned so much money in the past two years. You can't be so petty. right?* Clem immediately laughed. "Why would I? You can have as many meals as you want. You can swipe my card as well."

As he spoke, his subordinates came to remind him that the helicopter had arrived.

"Maeve, I'm leaving." Clem's clear voice suddenly became serious. I'll be back early

Tem, you must be safe," Maeve said seriously.

This was what she would say every time Clem left. For someone like him, safety was the most difficult thing

Clem also replied to her seriously, "Even if I'm only a head and have to swim with my mouth, I'll swim back from Chris Continent to see you."

Maeve almost burst out laughing. "Clem, you're clearly very humorous. Why do you get so easily triggered when you talk to me in person? Didn't I just snatch a lollipop from you when we were young? You don't have to hold a grudge until now, right?" Clem was silent for a while before he said sincerely, "I don't know why, but I'm easily speechless when I see you."

He was actually quite eloquent. Before he came back, he even scolded his uncle until he had a heart attack.

Maeve thought, 'How scary am I?'

Fortunately, Clem did not know that she had a crush on him in the past and even gave him a handkerchief and a love letter. Otherwise, his one-way social phobia would definitely be worse.

After hanging up the phone, she remembered that she had not opened the gift Clem had given her before. She took it out of her bag and looked at it.

It was a Doraemon's phone pendant embedded with pink diamonds.

She hadn't seen this style on the market. It looked like it was specially custom-made.

Coincidentally, she had lost her old phone and pendant, so Maeve hung it up on her new phone.

When Bonnie saw this, she rubbed her chin and smiled. "This gift is really appropriate."

It wasn't too expensive, and it just so happened that Maeve would use it because she liked it. It wouldn't be wasted.

The person who gave the gift was really considerate.

Maeve did not understand what she meant. Maeve waved the new phone in her hand. "The gift from you is quite to my liking."

"I like what you're saying. Let's go. I'll treat you to a feast!"

Mapledeca.

Chapter 498

In the sunflower room on the top floor, Gale was reading a newspaper in a wheelchair. One of his hands was casually placed on the armrest, and his eyelids were half-closed. He was as lazy as a tiger basking in the sun. He didn't have any aggression, but people naturally didn't dare to approach him.

Zephyr stood two steps away and said humbly, "Gale, I'm back."

"I know everything. What do you think about this matter?" Gale looked at the newspaper and asked casually

"Gale, I don't think this matter has much to do with the Morris family. Instead, it seems like someone deliberately sowed discord between the two families and deliberately chose that time to make a move, causing us to hate the Morris family, Zephyr speculated.

Yes, it makes sense. You can handle this matter yourself. You don't have to ask me."

Zephyr lowered his head in shame. "Fortunately, a kind person reminded me this time, but it's also my fault for not being careful enough and almost causing a huge disaster. Please punish me, Gale."

Gale shook the newspaper in his hand and looked up at Zephyr.

Zephyr always had a straight face at all times. His serious appearance seemed to have been drawn in a square frame. Even the edges seemed to have been polished.

He would not hurt anyone, and it would be difficult for others to hurt him.

However, no one could truly enter his heart.

Gale suddenly wondered if he was right to bring Zephyr back to the Soar family and give him a heavy responsibility.

Hiding his thoughts, Gale touched his forehead. "Then I'll punish you to cook for a week."

"Gale, I..." Zephyr looked embarrassed. "I'm not good at cooking."

"That's why I asked you to do it. Otherwise, what kind of punishment would it be?"

Zephyr was silent for a moment. "Gale, did you do it on purpose?"

Gale shook open the newspaper and admitted generously, "I did it on purpose. Don't tell me you want to go back on your

word."

Zephyr stopped talking. From his eyes, it could be seen that he was condemning Gale's evil humour.

Perhaps it was because Zephyr was usually too serious, and Gale would often ask him to do something that was not in line with his personality. Seeing how embarrassed Zephyr was, Gale would judge him from the side. This was already the "custom" of the Soar family.

Gale patted Zephyr's arm. "You're so young. Don't always look like an old man. You won't even be able to find a girlfriend in the future if you continue to be like this."
