Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1652

Maisie took a sip but choked on it. The alcohol seemed to burst across her cheeks, leaving her normally rosy face with a seductive crimson hue.

Daniel chuckled and walked over, gently patting her back while wiping away the wine stain from the corner of her mouth.

"Mr. Quimby..." Maisie maintained a cautious distance from him.

Daniel didn't say much. Instead, he reached for her hand and led her to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Maisie looked at him in puzzlement, only to see him clapping his hands.

Suddenly, a myriad of fireworks burst to life in the navy night sky, their colors and shapes changing like a dream and showering the world below like falling stars.

Maisie was left in awe, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.

"Do you like it?" Daniel's charismatic voice asked. "Close your eyes."

"Huh?"

He said with a smile, "I'm going to pick the stars for you."

After the last burst of fireworks disappeared into the night sky with a bright trail, everything returned to tranquility.

Maisie complied with a soft smile and closed her eyes as she felt his warm hand over hers. There was a cool hint like something had been placed in her palm. To her amazement, she discovered a star when she opened her eyes!

"This is..."

It was a necklace with a diamond pendant crafted into the shape of a star, its every facet flawless and reflecting a rainbow of colors.

"Let me put it on you," Daniel said gently.

"No, this is too much. I"

"Just accept it." Daniel's gaze was gentle. "Apart from this, I have some things I'd like to talk to you about."

Maisie lowered her head, her ears burning, and her cheeks flushed.

Daniel swept away her stray strands of hair. "You already knew this, but... I like you. I want to see you smile and take care of you for the rest of our lives." "Mr. Quimby..."

"You don't have to rush to give me an answer. Take your time to think about it. No matter how long it takes, I'm willing to wait."

Maisie's heart was suddenly filled with mixed emotions. She felt a slight headache, and her hazy mind seemed to present fragments of incoherent images, bringing both pain and joy. It was as though she had been waiting for him to say these words.

"Maisie..." Daniel took the opportunity to draw her into his arms. When he touched her, he felt her tense and tremble. He held her, almost wanting to whisper, "Let's start over."

However, he refrained as he could not rush things.

Nonetheless, tonight marked a significant step forward. When he embraced her, she didn't resist, indicating her acceptance of him.

Daniel grinned. He was about to continue their dinner together when his phone rang. His instinct was to hang up, but the caller displayed "Linda" on the screen. He could only take a deep breath and answer it. "Daniel!" Linda's voice sounded panicked. "Where are you now?"

"What's wrong?"

"Something terrible happened... Arya is missing! I mean, Graham's sister!" Linda's words were disjointed.

Daniel frowned. "What does that have to do with me?"
