Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1597

"I..." Maisie initially wanted to refuse.

She felt a strange sensation the first time she saw Daniel. His words held a certain power over her, and she had an unexplainable trust in him from the depths of her heart. It was as if she believed he was a good person who wouldn't do anything inappropriate.

Daniel drove Maisie to the amusement park, which was closed for the day and shrouded in darkness.

However, when Maisie took her first step into the park, it seemed like a magical spell had been cast. Each step she took illuminated a path beneath her, and the surrounding lights gradually came to life, transforming the place into a fairytale wonderland.

Her eyes widened in amazement as she beheld the towering Ferris wheel adorned with neon lights in the distance, the merry-go-round playing a beautiful melody nearby, and even houses shaped like cotton candy. Maisie's delight was evident.

"Do you like it here?" Daniel asked gently.

"Yes!" Maisie nodded, recalling that the man beside her was the owner of this enchanting park.

"Would you like to enjoy some of the attractions here?" Daniel suggested. "You have the entire place to yourself for all the rides."

Maisie hesitated. "I don't want to trouble anyone. I'm content just exploring."

"What if I take some pictures for you?"

Maisie was surprised when she looked into Daniel's passionate eyes. Her heart raced, an unfamiliar but oddly familiar feeling washing over her. She couldn't tell if it was attraction, but she hadn't felt it with Graham.

"Ms. Squire, are you okay?" Daniel chuckled. "Would you like me to take some photos for you?"

"No, t-thank you!" Maisie stammered. "I want to wait for my boyfriend to return from abroad. When he's available, we'll come here together for photos."

With that, she moved away from Daniel, maintaining a certain distance.

Daniel's heart sank. Had she sensed something? She was perceptive, and his recent actions might have made her uncomfortable.

Clearing his throat, he forced a smile. "Ms. Squire, I brought you here today because I wanted your opinion on hosting outdoor activities for kindergarten kids. What do you think?"

"Huh?"

"Ah, it's for Sephy," Daniel said with a forced smile. "She's fond of this amusement park and wishes to invite other kids. As her elder, I want to grant her wish. Do you think it's a suitable place? Will the children like it?"

"Of course!" Maisie smiled. "It's a beautiful place, and the children will surely love it."

"Then it's settled. The next kindergarten outing will be held here!"

"Sure," Maisie replied, her guarded look fading.

Daniel smiled, but bitterness lingered in his heart. He had never imagined they would have to interact that way.
