Daniel's breath quickened, and warmth coursed through his body. In the past, he wouldn't have been so cautious around her, nor would he have kept this overwhelming feeling bottled up inside. Now...
There was a wry smile on his face. The wheel of fate spun in mysterious ways!
Maisie placed a piece of braised meat in his mouth and smiled at him. "No thinking of anything else while eating!"
"But..." He playfully held her hand. "I really want to stay here."
"Not right now."
He sighed.
Even though it was the answer he had expected, her resolute response still made him feel disheartened.
"Alright." Daniel straightened up and obediently started eating. "By the way, how about I take you on a weekend getaway next week? Instead of studying all day at home, you need a change of scenery to clear your mind."
Maisie smiled. "Where are we going?"
"To my private hot spring club."
"You..." When Maisie heard this, the mischievous smile on his face told her immediately what was on his mind. Her cheeks turned red, and she nudged him with her elbow before turning away from him.
"I don't mean anything else by it." Daniel held her shoulder and said in a low voice, chuckling, "I just want to relax in the hot springs. Please don't mistake me for a pervert, okay?"
Maisie playfully thumped his chest with a laugh.
"But seriously, when are you going to pamper this old man?"
"What are you talking about?" Maisie looked into his eyes. "You're not old at all."
"But I'm much older than you." There was a hint of sorrow in Daniel's expression. "Age is an undeniable fact."
