Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1826

Maisie glanced at her phone upon leaving the office. A message from Wilfred awaited her. Despite his friendly tone, she sensed his respect. He proposed a meeting in the message, leaving the time and place to her discretion.

Contemplating for a prolonged moment, Maisie eventually decided to share this with Daniel.

"Can I meet with him?" she asked.

Daniel was taken aback. He had been assisting her in organizing book and comic drafts, and the request caught him off guard.

He raised his gaze, meeting her clear eyes that revealed a certain dependence on him.

Initially surprised and pained by this shift, Daniel recalled a time when Maisie relied on him entirely. She used to seek his guidance on every decision, from what to wear to what to eat, and even if she could go out. Careful not to offend, she was meticulous in her dealings with him.

Daniel was puzzled by her current demeanor as she approached. "What's wrong, Maisie?"

Only then did he snap back to reality.

"Can I meet with him?" she repeated, concern etched on her face. "Our conversation didn't end well at the banquet, so I'm worried that if I meet with him, you will..."

"It's different," he reassured her with a gentle smile. "I suppose he wants to discuss the script. That's business. Treat it as work. It's a good opportunity to delve into investment details. Just be cautious not to let him exploit you financially."

"Okay!" Maisie was relieved.

"Also..." Daniel hesitated, considering whether Wilfred would find Maisie familiar this time.

Recalling Wilfred's reaction at the banquet, Daniel noted, "The moment he saw you, he didn't look mesmerized, but shocked."

The expression on his face suggested that he had glimpsed someone familiar after a long time...

Was the bond between a father and daughter stronger than that between a mother and daughter?

"What?" Maisie teased, "What's wrong with you today? You're stammering, and you keep zoning out!"

Daniel looked at her and laughed at himself. "I'm old."

"You're not old at all!"

"Okay, I'm not old." He held her hands. "I'll grow old with you, so how would I dare to age first? Oh yes, do you want my attorney to go with you to work out the contract together?"

She paused for a moment before asking, "Can you... come with me?"

Her dependence on him made it feel like they had traveled back in time.

He chuckled and caressed her head, hugging her. "You'll need to learn to grow up, little girl."

"Daniel..."

"Okay. Since you'll be deciding the location, let's meet him at the Quimby Hotel."

Maisie looked at him coquettishly. She had full confidence when she was in his territory.
