Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1621

"Wait a moment!" Daniel called out. "Don't speak recklessly!"

Mario quickly grasped the situation and nodded with a chuckle.

When Maisie emerged from the dressing room, she radiated an otherworldly glow. Her wedding dress sparkled, and she appeared like a celestial being under a starry sky. Each smile and frown showcased her breathtaking beauty.

The long-sleeved wedding dress followed a traditional, simple, and elegant design with a touch of lace on the chest for that perfect finishing touch. It preserved the bride's purity while exuding charm.

"What do you think?" Mario asked with satisfaction. "I designed this dress a few days ago, and several royal families from Eropah came to negotiate for it. But I believe in fate. I won't even ask for payment if the dress finds the right bride!"

He added softly, "This dress is a bit more conservative, but it suits Ms. Squire's temperament perfectly. It has a subtle and alluring charm."

Daniel was entirely captivated by Maisie and barely heard Mario's words.

Blushing, Maisie approached the mirror and shyly smiled.

Mario waved his hand in front of Daniel's eyes. "Hey, Daniel, say something?"

"Hmm?" Daniel snapped back to reality and mumbled, "Oh, it looks great... Excellent."

Mario smiled, then hurriedly attended to Maisie's dress and makeup.

Daniel observed silently, and tears welled up in his eyes. It was as if he saw a girl who once walked past a bridal shop window, holding his hand and gazing longingly at wedding dresses. Yet, she had remained silent because she understood he wouldn't marry her.

There were numerous chances to be together forever and express their love.

With a bitter smile, Daniel turned to leave but was halted by a small hand.

"Granduncle, where are you going?" Persephone asked.

"I..." Daniel forced a smile. "I'm just stepping outside for some fresh air."

"Stay!" Persephone tugged him back. "Ms. Maisie looks so beautiful, like a princess! Did you see it?

"Granduncle, you look very much like a prince today! Princes also wear ties like this."

Daniel's expression shifted, and he sternly replied, "Don't talk nonsense!"

However, it was too late—Maisie had overheard everything.

Their eyes met, conveying a subtle emotion in that moment.

Maisie's heart raced, and she quickly averted her gaze.

The stylists and photographers asked Maisie for a few photos while Persephone changed into her flower girl attire and joyfully pranced around.

Daniel silently retreated.

Alone in the courtyard, he took out a photo and fell into deep thought.

In the evening, Graham arrived at Maisie's doorstep.

"I'm sorry," he immediately apologized when they met. "I had an urgent work matter today, so I couldn't accompany you. Have you chosen a dress?"

Maisie remained expressionless, standing there quietly, but her silence felt like a dormant volcano.

Graham sensed his mistake and didn't press on. Instead, he presented a small gift and placed it in her hand.
