Semua Bab Married a Secret Billionaire: Bab 1601 - Bab 1610

Daniel ushered Maisie into the car and drove out of the narrow alley. Maisie's hands remained cold despite the warm car interior, and she shivered.To ease her tension, Daniel tried to strike up a conversation. "By the way, do you live nearby?""It's a bit far from here," Maisie answered softly. "I usually don't take this route, but I left work late today, and it's more convenient, so I decided to use it. I didn't expect someone to follow me.""It's important to be cautious when walking through dark, quiet alleys," Daniel advised.Maisie nodded, and a thought suddenly crossed her mind. She gazed at him. "Mr. Quimby, why are you here too?"Daniel couldn't admit to following her all this time. He had been secretly keeping an eye on her, concerned for her safety on her way home. He had convinced himself that her apartment was in a moderately safe downtown area surrounded by busy roads. But his concern became a reality today.Daniel moistened his dry lips and had to craft a lie. "I h

Daniel waited outside the kindergarten every day. He was there to pick up Persephone, or so it seemed. In reality, his true motive was to catch a glimpse of Maisie. He adored her smile when she was with the children—it was as beautiful and pure as when they were together.Sometimes, he wondered if their child would be attending this kindergarten if it weren't for that one mistake he had made. Perhaps their story would have had a different ending.But in the present, he couldn't muster the courage to approach her. As such, all he could do was watch her from a distance.-One day, the childish calls of "Granduncle! Granduncle!" snapped Daniel back to reality. He suddenly realized he was holding Persephone's hand, and she was giving him a disapproving look with a pouting mouth."Granduncle, we've been waiting here for a long time!" she complained."Oh..." Daniel cleared his throat and led her toward the parking lot on the other side."Granduncle, aren't you tired of doing this ever

Upon receiving Maisie's call, Daniel rushed to the international kindergarten.However, doubts filled his mind on the way. Persephone's primary guardians were Zuko and Lina. Even if they were busy with work and couldn't be reached, there were still her grandparents. Thus, there was no reason for him, her granduncle, to be called.Despite these thoughts, he arrived in no time. Maybe it was because he had grown quite attached to Persephone, treating her as if she were his own child after spending all this time with her.-At the kindergarten's infirmary. He found Persephone lying on the bed. "Sephy, you..."She looked at him, blinking her big eyes twice. Daniel frowned, noticing her rosy cheeks and calm demeanor. There was no sign of discomfort."Where does it hurt?" Daniel walked over and held her small hand. Seizing the opportunity, Persephone secretly pinched him and put on a weak face. "Granduncle... My tummy hurts.""Oh..." Daniel understood what was happening. While he

The vegetable noodles smelled delicious, and she had prepared them. However, when Daniel raised his hand, his wound reopened, and blood seeped through the bandage.Quickly, Maisie rebandaged his arm. Since his arm was immobile, she picked up the noodles and fed him gently."You..."Daniel felt a bit flustered. He found it amusing that even at his age, he still felt like a lovesick teenager when he was with her."You're injured, so don't move too much," Maisie said with a clear gaze. "Let me feed you."Daniel didn't refuse, nor could he. He took a bite, and the familiar taste overwhelmed his taste buds, almost bringing tears to his eyes.He asked softly, "By the way, do you know who those two were?"Maisie avoided eye contact, unaware that Daniel already had all the information about the incident."This isn't a safe place. You should think about moving," he suggested."Moving isn't that simple," Maisie said with a forced smile. "Plus, I can only afford to live here on my salary

Maisie's heart skipped a beat as she softly agreed and ended the call.Later, Graham called. As usual, he sounded rushed. Checking the time, Maisie realized a whole day had passed since she had last spoken to him.In a hushed tone, Maisie asked, "Graham, don't you think there's something—" She stopped herself before the words "not quite normal between us" escaped.Graham paused as if something had just clicked. "Maisie, are you facing difficulties over there?""No," she replied, forcing a smile. "I've moved to a new place.""Oh.""Next time you visit, don't go to the old place," she said."Did you get a promotion?" Graham chuckled. "Or a raise? Congratulations!"Maisie exhaled deeply. It felt like she and Graham inhabited separate worlds."Alright, I won't keep you any longer. I'm a bit busy here," he said."Busy?" Maisie was puzzled. It was late at night on his end, so what could he be busy with?"Graham, I—""Maisie, let's talk later," Graham interrupted, his voice soundi
