Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1619

Linda said with a smile as she pulled Lina closer, "He's not much older than you, anyway.

"Daniel, it's perfect that you're here. Let's have dinner together. Zuko and Lina have some good news."

"Oh?"

"I'm going to be a grandmother again!"

Stunned, Daniel looked at them.

Lina blushed, leaning her head coquettishly on Zuko's shoulder.

"Lina's pregnant again." Zuko's face beamed with joy. "She's just entered her third month. The baby's healthy, and Lina is feeling well. Everything's good!"

"Congratulations."

Daniel offered his congratulations, but in his mind, he couldn't help but think, 'Ugh! Your parents were just killing me with their PDA, and now it's your turn. Is this family going to make me, the single man, die of loneliness?'

"Ah, my granduncle's here!" Persephone, drenched in sweat from playing, ran in from the courtyard. She held a toy gun and playfully aimed it at Daniel.

Daniel fell onto the couch, pretending to be shot, and they all had fun.

"Let's play in the courtyard!" The young princess dragged Daniel outside before he could say anything.

Daniel was more than happy to seize the opportunity to escape the living room filled with public displays of affection.

Persephone ran and jumped around the courtyard, but Daniel didn't seem thrilled while following her.

She took his hand and looked up at him. "Granduncle, why aren't you playing with me?"

"Can we sit down for a bit, Sephy?" he asked.

"Mm-hmm." She obediently sat on his lap, even fanning his face with her little hand.

That brought a smile to Daniel's face. "Did you know there's a baby in your mom's womb?"

"I do!"

"Do you want it to be a brother or a sister?"

"Hmm... A brother!"

"Why?"

"I can play with him!" She giggled and played with her toy gun. "I wouldn't want to do that if it's a sister!"

"You little rascal!" He playfully scratched her nose. "Where do you get all these funny ideas?"

"Granduncle, will you be happier if I tell you a secret?"

His expression dimmed.

She leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Ms. Maisie asked why you stopped picking me up."

"Oh." He looked composed on the outside, but turmoil brewed within.

"Granduncle, are you hiding from her?"

"What?" He was taken aback. "Who told you that?"

"Ms. Maisie did," she said with utmost seriousness. "After asking me, she whispered, 'Is he hiding from me?' Hehe! Even though her voice was soft, I have sharp ears! Granduncle, aren't I the best?"

Daniel suddenly felt a pang of guilt. What Nicole had said was true. He always intruded into Maisie's life without notice in the past and now and left just as unexpectedly.

"Granduncle, can you stop hiding from her?" She gazed into his eyes. "She's going to try on wedding dresses this Sunday. You can see how beautiful she's going to look!" "What did you say?" he exclaimed.

"She asked me to be her flower girl!" Persephone beamed with pride. "I'll be trying on dresses on Sunday too! Granduncle, come with us, okay?"
