Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1678

"I..." Maisie said, "I've never heard you talking about your past."

"What would you like to know?" Daniel asked.

"Hmm..." Maisie hesitated. She naturally wanted to know about his love life.

Daniel was no longer young, but he was good-looking and wealthy. It would be unreal if he had never been in a relationship before. As his current girlfriend, it was only natural that she was eager to find out what his exes were like.

Were they drop-dead gorgeous? Did they come from prestigious families that matched his?

They must be outstanding...

She bit her lip, unsure if he would be upset if she asked him.

Suddenly, Daniel spoke just when she was troubled. "You want to know whether I had girlfriends in the past?"

Her cheeks blushed, and she quickly lowered her head to drink the soup.

He smiled, his deep eyes fixed on her beautiful face.

"I've... loved one person."

"Oh..." she responded, feeling a bit down.

Daniel could see sadness on her face, and he couldn't help but have complicated feelings rising within him.

"Is she beautiful?" she asked.

He answered honestly, "She was flawless to me."

Maisie felt even more jealous now. "So... What did you like about her?"

Daniel couldn't help but laugh. "Must we talk about this?"

"I want to know!" she insisted.

"She was just like you." He looked into her eyes quietly. "She was beautiful, gentle, and empathetic. She was smart, too. Sometimes, she'd be so quiet that one could ignore her existence." "Then why didn't you guys get together?"

Daniel held her hands gently, then exerted more strength as if he wanted her hands for himself.

Maisie felt a little pain but said nothing. She saw a tinge of sadness deep in his eyes, and it touched her heart, making it ache a little.

"It's my fault no matter what," Daniel said. "I was too arrogant, and I hurt her. My selfishness drove her away. I only know that true love is hard to come by now, so I won't let it go again."

She looked at him blankly. He was talking about his past lover, so why did he... look into her eyes and say it so seriously as if he was telling her that?

"Maisie, will you marry me?" Daniel blurted.

She panicked a little bit. There was a blurry image playing in her head at that moment. She seemed to have seen a girl holding a ring, and a man walked over and slapped the ring to the ground... She felt a sudden headache and withdrew her hands.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing," Maisie held back how uncomfortable she was feeling. "I'm quite tired. I'd like to rest."

Daniel helped her to the couch and brought over the fruits that he had cut. He then put a shawl on her carefully.

He went to clean the table after doing that.

At that moment, Maisie's phone rang.

It was a rather unfamiliar voice. The other party instantly introduced herself, saying that she was a nurse at the hospital, Nina's student.

Maisie seemed to remember her and asked courteously, "How can I help you?"

"M-Ms. Squire, Dr. Perkins said you'd need a couple more check-ups for your stomachache. A-Are you free tomorrow morning?"

Not sure if it was the bad signal or something else, Maisie kept thinking that the nurse's voice was strange. Her voice was shaking, and she was stuttering.

"M-Ms. Squire..." The nurse asked again, "Can you come in the morning? I-I'll make the appointment for you if you're okay with that. The procedures are simple. Dr. Perkins isn't needed. I'll do it for you! W- What do you think?"
