Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1722

"What's the matter?"

"I... I want to take you to meet my mom."

Daniel was taken aback.

"Aren't you planning to marry me? Shouldn't we meet each other’s parents before the wedding? My family background isn't great, and my mom can be a handful. I just want you to be prepared..."

"I want to marry you, not your family," Daniel said, holding Maisie's hand. "But it's only right that I meet them. It's a matter of respect."

Daniel had mixed feelings about it. When the weekend came, he prepared a gift and went with Maisie to her family's home. Even though Maisie had given them a heads-up, the atmosphere became tense as soon as they walked in.

Cindy and Nicole were initially surprised to see Daniel, and then they stood by the wall, all still and nervous. Their words and actions appeared quite restrained as they cast wary looks at him.

Maisie was a little surprised. She had been worried the whole way about her mom's materialistic nature causing trouble, as she was prone to saying things she shouldn't. She hadn't expected Cindy, who was usually domineering and arrogant, to be so apprehensive in front of him. Even though Daniel usually exuded a powerful aura, he was quite amiable today.

"Mom, Nicole, what's going on with you?" Maisie shot them a look, then forced a smile to try to defuse the tension. "Daniel is usually a bit serious, but he's a good person. You'll get to know him better as you spend more time with him."

"Yes, yes." Cindy managed to force a smile. "We know Mr. Quimby is a good person... Without his help, we wouldn't have been able to live here."

After going through the fuss of the demolition and relocation, Daniel had ultimately provided Cindy's family with a compensation package and arranged a place for them to live. They had secured a residence in this mid-range housing complex, which was a rare find for the Squires.

Daniel gently held Maisie's hand. He loved her no matter what. Even if the Squires were out of line, he didn't want to make things difficult for them.

"You're too kind," he said with a calm expression. "The reason we didn't compensate you earlier was due to a mistake made by the branch office of Quimby Group. Since the issue has now been resolved, there's no need for you to dwell on it."
