Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1675

Daniel cradled Maisie gently and quickly slipped on slippers for her when they entered the house. He was adamant that she shouldn't lift a finger.

She retorted, "I've only got a stomachache, not as weak as you think. Plus, the doctor said it's minor."

Daniel said gloomily, "It's better to be cautious."

Maisie lowered her head, smiling with a heart full of joy. "I want to take a nap," she said.

Daniel nodded, bent down, and carefully carried her to the room, gently tucking her into bed.

"Why are you treating me like a kid?" Maisie asked.

"You're a kid to me." He patted her head and smiled. "Remember when you first called me 'Mister'?"

Maisie blushed. "You remember that? But I don't think you're old at all now!"

He was taken aback, then grinned.

She had said the same thing in the past. However, she might have been trying to please him back then. To him, she had just been... a toy.

His heart ached as he looked at her with guilt, regret, and self-blame.

Daniel continued to caress her face until she fell asleep. He reminisced about the year they first met when she was still in university, innocent and as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

At the restaurant.

Fueled by alcohol, Wesley spoke candidly.

"She's poor! Her dad died when she was young. Her mom raised the three of them alone. Not only does her mom favor her son over her daughters, but she's also money-hungry. "Back in the day, I was the king of their family with my small business. No matter how badly I treated my ex-wife, her mom wouldn't let her divorce me just because I had a bit of money."

He took a sip of his drink, his resentment boiling. "Back then, everyone had to obey me in that family, unlike now..."

Graham furrowed his brow. "Isn't it strange? I mean, Daniel has surely met various women. Why would he be interested in Maisie?"

Wesley grinned. "Didn't you also like that girl? You even made her your fiancee."

Graham's expression changed. He didn't love Maisie, but he could accept her as his fiancee because she was beautiful and would make him look good.

"So, Daniel wanted her because she was young, beautiful, and innocent. Not to mention, he could easily control her. She was far more capable than the women around him!

"Did you know this? She had never even held a man's hand before she met him! Honestly, I wanted to take advantage of her, too, but her family guarded her as if I were a thief! Daniel got to her before I could." Graham looked at him disdainfully and said coldly, "Go on."

Wesley continued. "Well, she was with Daniel for three years. He spoiled her, paid for her brother's medical bills, and even got my ex-mother-in-law a new house. It was then that the witch started ignoring me and started kissing Daniel's ass instead."

Graham discreetly made mental notes of these revelations: sugar baby, lover, university student.
