Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1869

Maisie walked out of her room with a heavy heart. Seeing Daniel, who had just returned to the island, she hurried over and hugged him. Only in his arms could she finally let go of her lingering worries.

Daniel smiled. The sweet scent on her swept away all the weariness of the entire day.

"Sephy just fell asleep," Maisie said softly. "Today, she even asked me if she could stay on the island for a few more days. It seems she doesn't want to return to her parents just yet."

"Well, let her stay here," Daniel said, looking at her. "Aunt Whitney loves children, and Sephy won't feel lonely with Tigger around."

"Is it..." Maisie hesitated. "No news about Toph yet?"

Daniel furrowed his brow, nodding in concern.

"No word about Harvey either," he said. "Wilfred is afraid of offending the Hamertons, mobilizing all his people these past days, but still no results... I suspect there's a mole in the Newhouses."

Maisie's gaze was also filled with worry. It had only been two days since Toph went missing, but these long two days felt excruciatingly difficult.

"Has the police been informed?"

"Yes, they're conducting a full search as well. But from what I surmise, if it's really the work of kidnappers, they're likely after money. I believe a ransom call will come soon."

"But if..." Maisie bit her lip. "If, as you said, there's a mole in the Newhouses, and that mole isn't after money but something else... What should we do?"

Daniel took a deep breath, looking into her eyes. He wasn't sure how to explain it.
