The Heir's Secret Bride

Byron naturally held her lowered hand and said, "They almost ate all the chicken drumsticks. I'll give you my share."

Upon hearing that, Theo, still chewing on the drumstick, was speechless.

He thought, 'You're so high and mighty that you stole my chicken drumstick to curry favor with my mommy. You are trying to look good.

Maeve did not have much appetite but didn't want to

Wee food, so she still perked up and ate some.

After a short break after lunch, Byron led to an empty room for an afternoon nap.

Theo and Will were locked outside the door, and big question marks appeared on their heads.

"Will, are we isolated by Great Demon King?" Theo expressed his doubts. "What right does he have to take an afternoon nap with Mommy? Can he be as soft and huggable as I am?"

'Mommy says hugging me is more comfortable than hugging a doll. The Great Demon King has a hard body. Don't hurt my mommy,' thought Theo.

Will rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. "Didn't you notice Dad and Mom have been very close recently? Dad has been kicked out of the house by Mom many times, so let's forgive him for his immature little move."

Theo pursed his lips. He wanted to say something but remembered the hug on the helicopter. He turned his little body and snorted. "I'm only refraining from causing trouble because of my mommy."

"That's right. Theo, you are the most generous." Will had learned from Maeve how to coax Theo. He did not even need to think when he opened his mouth.

As expected, he coaxed Theo until he forgot about being isolated. Theo took out his toolkit to grind the herbs with Will. The external medicine had to be ground into powder before being applied to the wound. It could effectively relieve the pain. Gilbert's leg was badly injured after falling down the stairs, requiring a dressing change every three hours.

Theo did not like to leave these things to others. Other than Will and Maeve, he would hardly let anyone touch these tools of his.

The two diligent little kids sat opposite each other on the carpet. Their movements were like rabbits, and their backs were round and charmingly silly.

Maeve slept straight through to the evening. When she woke, she realized Byron was no longer by her side. The sky outside the window was dark. Fortunately, the light by the bed was on, so she did not panic.

Maeve left her room after calling her uncle and her mother to report her safety.

Maeve's face lit up with joy when she heard Gilbert had woken up. Then, she entered the ward with Byron and the others.

Gilbert was awake, but his mouth and nose were still connected to the ventilator, and he could not speak.

It was the most painful for him to lie down like that.

Maeve looked at Will and Theo. "Good boys, go and talk to your great-grandfather."

Will and Theo nodded obediently and walked to the bed, tiptoeing to look at Gilbert.

The psychological impact on Gilbert caused by the appearance of two identical little faces in front of him was obvious, and his heart rate was accelerating,

"Great-grandfather, I'm Theo, and my full name is Theodore Reese. I'm Will's twin brother," said Theo softly, holding Gilbert's hand with his small hand. "Great-grandfather, I heard from Will you are good at fishing. I want to go fishing, too. Great-grandfather, get better quickly and bring me to fish, okay?"

Gilbert instantly burst into tears.

He longed to have a great-grandson years ago. Later, he had Will, whom he loved more than anything.

Now he was told he had another great-grandson who was so cute and sweet-tongued, and how could he not be happy?

The pain in Gilbert's body at the moment was overshadowed by the surprise of Theo, his great-grandson. He moved his head and nodded slightly, which was enough to show how excited he was.

Will said, "Great-grandfather, you said you would buy me a foal. You can't go back on your word."

Gilbert could not wait to get up and bring them out to fish and ride horses. He wanted to give them all the good things in the world.

Maeve heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the gray determination on Gilbert's face fade.

She looked at Byron, who was focused on the three of them. She murmured, "Gilbert just knew Theo is his great-grandson and loves him. Why are you always at odds with him?"

"Really?" Byron turned his face and raised his eyebrows. "Don't you think it's interesting to tease Theo?"

"No wonder Theo isn't close to you."

Byron frowned slightly. "Who said so? How is he not close to me?"

'He is my son. How could he not be close to me?' thought Byron.

Maeve's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Or do you think he's close to you? Haven't you noticed he hasn't called you Dad even once?"

"Isn't it because he's shy?"

"You're overthinking. Theo hasn't acknowledged you as his father." Maeve mercilessly shattered his misconception of his son. "You were so cold to him previously and even treated him as someone else's child. Do you expect him to suddenly make a breakthrough in his relationship with you and accept you right away?"

Maeve thought, 'Speaking of which, he has yet to apologize to Theo for misunderstanding him. It is not unreasonable for Theo not to acknowledge him.

'No wonder Will is so mature at such a young age. I guessed Byron also raised Will freely like this, which is why Will had to be an independent kid.'

Her heart ached, and she could not help but glare at Byron.

Byron was speechless.

He raised his hand and pressed between his eyebrows. He felt a slight headache and said, "Let me think about it."

Maeve snorted and thought, "Take your time to think about it. In any case, I will not give you any pointers.

"The grievances Theo suffered have to be compensated by Byron himself so that Byron and Theo, the father and son, can reconcile.

'However, based on the frequency of their bickering, the probability of their reconciliation is a little slim.

Maybe the presence of his two adorable great-grandchildren lifted Gilbert's spirits and improved his health. The gloomy atmosphere of the ward gradually dissipated.

After surviving this ordeal, Gilbert might not immediately recover to be as lively as before, but his life wouldn't be in danger at least.

Theo practiced the songs for the singing contest several times during this period. Every time he started singing, Will would break down, but Gilbert was smiling. He loved his great-grandsons..

However, Theo was not well-behaved with Jason and Ryan. Every time they came, Theo had to wear a hat and glasses. He did not want them to see his true appearance. Apparently, he was still holding a grudge for the bad things they had done to Maeve before, so he did not even want to give them the right to know him.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Soon, it was the final day of the Star of Children Talent Competition, organized by the various schools

The preliminary round of the Star of Children Talent Competition ended before Maeve took Will and Theo abroad. However, Theo's votes mysteriously made it to the finals.

Hence, Theo was inflated and has been well-practiced abroad. Will's ears were tortured.

It was worth mentioning that during the preliminary round, a child from the Islaton Private International Kindergarten was sent to the hospital because of diarrhea. The teacher temporarily asked Will to take over. It turned out that Will also advanced...
