Chapter 164
Levi definitely knew something.
“Let’s head upstairs, Mavy,” Lyra suggested.
“Are you going to sleep already? There are plenty of recreational you around…” Sheldon began, but Levi Interrupted him.
areas in my house. How about I show
“Sheldon, we shouldn’t disturb our guests‘ rest. Let’s go back.”
Although Sheldon wanted to say something more, he couldn’t argue with Levi’s decision and fell silent. Lyra then led Maeve into the guest room.
The Hackett family had prepared two rooms for them. But since they had become friends, they always slept together on one bed.
The room’s decor felt familiar to Maeve. It felt as if she had lived there before..
Lyra asked, “Mavy, what’s your plan for Sheldon’s birthday tomorrow?”
“I will attend the birthday party, but I need to convince Sheldon to accompany me to the masquerade ball.”
Sergio had been suspecting her connection with the Mirage Group recently, and Sheldon’s birthday party could just help her.
Maeve woke up early the next day. As she descended from the third floor, she saw the ground floor filled
with business people in suits, holding stacks of folders.
She had heard that being in charge of the Hackett family wasn’t easy, but she didn’t realize it was this busy every day. Was Levi always this busy?
“Maeve!” Sheldon, who was in sportswear, ran
over to har
His red hair caught Maeve’s attention from afar.
“You’re up so early. Have you had breakfast?” Sheldon asked.
“Not yet,” Maeve replied, pointing to the people coming in and out of the second–floor study. “Is your place always like this in the mornings?”
“Not really. Things have been a bit busier lately.” Sheldon then took Maeve’s hand and said, “Come on,
let’s go eat.”
“Lyra hasn’t woken up yet. I’ll go wake her.”
“No need, Lyra likes to sleep in. I’ll have someone make her breakfast when she wakes up.”
Maeve was initially inclined to accept his offer, but then Sheldon added, “Besides, it’s probably time for Levi to eat too. The food from his secondary kitchen is delicious.”
“… I’ll pass,” Maeve hesitated.

However, Sheldon insisted, “What’s there to worry about? We’re all family! Who said they were a family?
Maeve reluctantly followed Sheldon to the dining hall. The household staff brought out the food in no
time.
Although the Brooks family was also wealthy, it was dwarfed by the wealth of the Hackett family.
The Brooks family didn’t have many members, so their newlywed house wasn’t large. The main branch of the Brooks family only consisted of Hailey, who rarely went back home, and a few household staff who
took care of her.
Similarly, Maeve and Sergio’s new home only had Allie to look after it. In contrast, the Hackett family seemed to live in a palace.
“Go on and see if it suits your taste,” Sheldon said.
Maeve looked at the table full of both local and foreign breakfast dishes. “Shouldn’t we wait for Mr. Hackett before eating?” she asked
“We don’t have that many rules. You can eat first.” Sheldon replied before serving some delicious dishes to Maeve. “Try some of these. If it doesn’t suit your taste, I’ll have them make something else.”
Maeve couldn’t help but be amazed by the amount of food in front of her. Even the ancient kings did not have such lavish breakfasts.
“Sheldon, you might overwhelm Ms. Scott like this.” Levi’s voice pierced the air.
Maeve stiffened when she felt Levi’s gaze on her.
