Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1612

"What?"

Daniel turned to look at Persephone. He patted her head and lifted her up. "I'll take you home, Sephy."

"Are you going somewhere else?" Persephone asked.

"I want to go to the theme park," Daniel replied.

Persephone cheered. "I'm coming too!"

"I'm sorry, Sephy," he said, looking at her, "I can't take you with me today. I'd like to be alone."

Persephone felt down but didn't make a fuss. She understood that her beloved granduncle was having a tough day.

'Is it because of Ms. Maisie?' Persephone recalled how she used to be rewarded with snacks every time she shared information about Maisie with him. She figured she could brighten his mood by revealing a secret about her teacher.

She leaned in close to his ear. "Granduncle, let me tell you something about Ms. Maisie..."

She emphasized, "The prince is coming back!"

"What?" His expression changed, as she expected.

"It's true." Persephone nodded. "She told me herself when we were buying sauce. The prince is returning to discuss their wedding. Granduncle, is a wedding like the picture my mommy and daddy have at home? Will they take pictures together and live together in the future?"

Daniel released her hands, and Persephone nearly fell. Luckily, one of the bodyguards behind them caught her just in time.

The shocked little princess gazed at Daniel. He appeared even paler than before, with a deeper seriousness in his eyes.

The bodyguards exchanged glances, unsure of what was going through his mind. They only noticed his clenched fists trembling at his sides.

"Mr. Quimby, should we "

Before one of the bodyguards could finish, Daniel turned and strode back.

His footsteps were swift, powerful, and heavy. His mind was in turmoil, torn between wanting to prevent Maisie from marrying Graham and not wanting to disrupt her peaceful life. He longed to finally share the past with her but feared the pain it might bring her.

He felt conflicted and panicked. He had never been afraid of anything, but Maisie was the exception.

Upon arriving at Maisie's, he saw that someone had beaten him there. This person had gone to the apartment opposite hers, only knocking on her door after putting down his bags.

Maisie was stunned when she opened the door, her eyes filled with surprise.

"What? Don't you welcome me?" The newcomer was Graham!

Daniel stood at the corridor's side, watching from a distance as Maisie embraced Graham like a joyful bird.

"Why did you come? I didn't know that you..." Maisie was flustered.

Graham smiled, playing with her hair. "Didn't I mention that I was returning to discuss our wedding?"

"But..."

"I told you it was happening next month when we spoke on the phone. I came back early to surprise you."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged him with a smile.

Daniel's eyes gradually dimmed as if needles were pricking his heart.
