Maisie paused, then smiled and nodded. Having him beside her made her feel more comfortable.
"My work will be done soon. If you can't wait until the weekend, we can leave a couple of days earlier."
"No need," Maisie replied softly. "In fact, I also want to talk to Ms. Corbin."
"What's going on?"
"I..." Maisie hesitated for a moment and then decided to confide in him. "I want to quit my job at the kindergarten and focus on getting my journalist certification."
Daniel listened and expressed his support.
In truth, he had wanted Maisie to leave the kindergarten for some time. Linda had arranged that job for her, and it was the reason the Bayers were more approving of her. He didn't want her to have any more ties to the Bayers, not even the slightest connection.
"Do you really support me?" Maisie asked, somewhat surprised. It seemed that no matter what she said, he would always agree, even support her unconditionally.
"Absolutely," Daniel assured her with a smile. "I believe that when you have dreams, you should work hard to achieve them. Quitting this job is nothing to regret. To experience a more fulfilling life, you have to pursue your dreams."
"But aren't you afraid I won't pass and won't find a job in the future?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" He looked into her eyes. "I'll take care of you."
Maisie's heart clenched.
Daniel caressed her head, touched their foreheads together, and softly said, "I know that girls don't like it when others say 'I'll take care of you' nowadays. And it's true that women should maintain their independence.
"But here with me, you can be independent or not. I'm willing to let you soar, and when you're tired, you can come and lie in my arms.
