Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1613

Daniel observed as Maisie welcomed Graham with a smile. However, as the door closed behind them, his heart sank.

He restlessly paced back and forth, eventually reaching for his phone to call his subordinate. He couldn't contain his frustration and yelled as soon as the call was answered, "Why is Graham here?!"

His subordinate was taken aback, clueless about the situation.

In need of a moment to calm down, Daniel closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

"I asked, why is Graham staying in the apartment in Mange Square, right across from my house?" he asked with more composure.

The subordinate hesitated before speaking. "I... I'm not sure."

Daniel was frustrated. He hung up and awaited an update from his subordinate.

After a short while, he received a report. "Mr. Quimby, the Bayers don't own the apartment Mr. Bayer is staying at. He bought it after making his first million from venture capital. It's his personal property."

"Why did he choose this place, then?" Daniel questioned.

His subordinate found himself in a difficult position. "Mr. Quimby, it's a great location. We can't stop him from purchasing it."

Uncertain how to vent his anger, Daniel strolled over to Maisie's door and paced back and forth. The apartment had been meticulously renovated, with even the door soundproofed, preventing him from listening to what was transpiring inside.

Would Graham stay there tonight?

'Absence makes the heart grow fonder…' he thought.

They had been apart for so long, but that didn't mean they would...

No!

Daniel quickly dismissed that thought. Maisie was a traditional girl who wouldn't give herself away before marriage. But... what about their past experiences?

Inappropriate images flashed through his mind, and he clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms. He fixated on the door, feeling he might lose control at any moment.

Unexpectedly, at that very moment, Graham emerged from the apartment. They locked eyes, both expressing shock.

"You're... Mr. Quimby?" Graham recognized him.

Daniel nodded, his expression frosty.

Graham looked uneasy. "Have you been looking out for Maisie?"

Daniel remained silent.

"Thank you for your help," Graham added. "The rent here is quite high. I can cover it if she can't pay you on time."

"Mr. Bayer," Daniel called out to him. "Do you live next door?"

"Yes."

"I purchased this house a few years ago on a whim. I had no idea we'd become neighbors," Daniel said with a flat smile.

"Don't misunderstand. Ms. Maisie takes good care of my Sephy, so I wanted to find a way to thank her. Since she happened to be moving, I offered her the house. But if you're staying here, it might be better for her to move in with you so she won't have to pay me rent."

"Sure." Graham said cryptically, "Why don't you talk to her? I think your words mean more to her than mine."

Without looking back, he entered his house and closed the door loudly, leaving Daniel annoyed. He rang Maisie's doorbell, and Nicole answered. He spotted Maisie sitting in the living room.
