Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1667

Daniel reentered Maisie's world and often stayed in her apartment, claiming to watch over and protect her. Despite her attempts to refuse, she eventually relented.

While he had to settle for the sofa, he was content with it, believing he could sleep beside her one day. Daniel spent most of his time with Maisie, taking care of household chores and cooking her meals. Now, he truly understood how challenging it had been for her to do these tasks for him before and how much she had loved doing them every day.

Sometimes, Maisie watched him bustling around the house, puzzled by inexplicable dreams that haunted her. However, she admitted to feeling more at ease with Daniel around. He provided a different kind of comfort compared to what Graham had offered.

In the past, Graham often deferred things, saying, "wait until later", "when there's an opportunity", or "in the future".

In contrast, Daniel frequently assured her, saying, "I'm here", "leave it to me", and "don't be afraid". His words lacked overt expressions of love but were filled with care.

One day, Maisie had the day off, and Daniel was in the kitchen, carefully stewing carrot and beef brisket. It was a dish he had recently learned to cook, and he treated each ingredient and seasoning like a precise chemical experiment.

The aroma soon filled the apartment, and he smiled in satisfaction, covering the pot and lowering the heat. Just then, the doorbell rang.

Daniel was surprised to find Linda at the door. "Linda? How did you find me here?"

Linda teased, "I have some foresight. I knew I'd find you here. Your brother-in-law even suggested I go to Liz-Inn, but I told him you wouldn't be there."
