Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1616

Maisie hadn't seen Daniel outside the kindergarten for a few days. Instead, it was the Hamertons' nanny and bodyguards who came to pick up Persephone.

She didn't know why, but she would instinctively look for him as soon as school was over. She told herself it was wrong. However, she couldn't shake Daniel from her mind as if she was bewitched.

As she opened the door to the apartment, the door across from her opened, revealing Graham with a smile on his face. He walked toward her.

"I... I don't have a kettle here. Can I have a cup of tea at your place?" he asked.

She nodded and let him in. She made a pot of Ceylon tea but noticed his frown when she brought it out.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I..." He hesitated. "I never drink this tea."

She was stunned. Indeed, she had never found out what he liked. Meanwhile, Daniel had drunk this tea when he came the other day. She flushed, feeling guilty.

Maisie was about to make him a new one, but Graham grabbed her.

"Maisie, can we talk?" he asked.

She looked at him and sat across from him.

"It was... my fault," he admitted. "I shouldn't have misunderstood you and Mr. Quimby. I shouldn't have said something so horrible. You're my fiancee, and I should trust you."

She held her head down and said nothing.

"About the 4,000,000 dollars debt your brother-in-law owes..." He paused, and Maisie looked up, hopeful and nervous, like a student waiting for exam results.

"I stand by what I said," he stated, his voice soft but clear. "It's his debt. He should bear it. Also, the promissory note with you as the collateral is illegal to begin with. We can sue them if they cause trouble for you again.

"Maisie, I still think we should use the law to solve this instead of giving in."

"You..." She looked at him blankly, unsure of what to say.
