Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1612

"What?"

Daniel turned to look at Persephone. He patted her head and lifted her up. "I'll take you home, Sephy."

"Are you going somewhere else?" Persephone asked.

"I want to go to the theme park," Daniel replied.

Persephone cheered. "I'm coming too!"

"I'm sorry, Sephy," he said, looking at her, "I can't take you with me today. I'd like to be alone."

Persephone felt down but didn't make a fuss. She understood that her beloved granduncle was having a tough day.

'Is it because of Ms. Maisie?' Persephone recalled how she used to be rewarded with snacks every time she shared information about Maisie with him. She figured she could brighten his mood by revealing a secret about her teacher.

She leaned in close to his ear. "Granduncle, let me tell you something about Ms. Maisie..."

She emphasized, "The prince is coming back!"

"What?" His expression changed, as she expected.

"It's true." Persephone nodded. "She told me herself when we were buying sauce. The prince is returning to discuss their wedding. Granduncle, is a wedding like the picture my mommy and daddy have at home? Will they take pictures together and live together in the future?"

Daniel released her hands, and Persephone nearly fell. Luckily, one of the bodyguards behind them caught her just in time.

The shocked little princess gazed at Daniel. He appeared even paler than before, with a deeper seriousness in his eyes.

Daniel stood at the corridor's side, watching from a distance as Maisie embraced Graham like a joyful bird.

"Why did you come? I didn't know that you..." Maisie was flustered.

Graham smiled, playing with her hair. "Didn't I mention that I was returning to discuss our wedding?"

"But..."

"I told you it was happening next month when we spoke on the phone. I came back early to surprise you."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged him with a smile.

Daniel's eyes gradually dimmed as if needles were pricking his heart.
