Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 1678
"I…” Maisie said, "I've never heard you talking about your past.""What would you like to know?" Daniel asked."Hmm…" Maisie hesitated. She naturally wanted to know about his love life.Daniel was no longer young, but he was good-looking and wealthy. It would be unreal if he had never been in a relationship before. As his current girlfriend, it was only natural that she was eager to find out what his exes were like.Were they drop-dead gorgeous? Did they come from prestigious families that matched his?They must be outstanding…She bit her lip, unsure if he would be upset if she asked him.Suddenly, Daniel spoke just when she was troubled. "You want to know whether I had girlfriends in the past?"Her cheeks blushed, and she quickly lowered her head to drink the soup.He smiled, his deep eyes fixed on her beautiful face."I've... loved one person.""Oh…" she responded, feeling a bit down.Daniel could see sadness on her face, and he couldn't help but have complicated feeling

Maisie didn't have her guard up. She thought it was just a routine check-up, so she immediately agreed.When Daniel approached her to ask what happened, she gave him a brief explanation, and he frowned.Nina had promised to handle Maisie's consultation herself, so why was she delegating it to the nurse?Furthermore, it wasn't time for the surgery yet, which made him uneasy. But Maisie couldn't help but smile when she saw his nervousness."What's wrong?" She gently caressed his cheeks. "You seem upset.""No, I...""Are you worried about me?" She smiled. "Don't worry. The nurse said it was just a simple check-up. Dr. Perkins is busy, so she'll be doing it.""Okay." He nodded.She used her thumbs to smooth out his furrowed brow, making him laugh. He hugged her gently."I might have overthought it," he admitted. "I don't know why, but I tend to overthink everything when it comes to you.""Then think on the positive side," she encouraged, looking into his eyes. "For instance, my s

"Oh…"Maisie felt completely lost, unable to grasp the situation's severity. Could a nurse's name mix-up be this serious? Nina's words appeared to carry a deeper significance.Daniel, offering comfort, wrapped his arm around Maisie's shoulders and softly suggested, "Let's go home."Maisie nodded.They left, shared lunch, and later relaxed on the couch to watch a movie.It was only in the afternoon, when Maisie expressed her desire to visit the library, that Daniel mentioned some business to attend to at his company.After dropping her off at the library, he quickly returned to the hospital.The examination room's door remained tightly shut, with guards posted outside, and Hazel stood frozen in the same spot he had left her.Upon seeing him, Nina politely smiled and said, "Mr. Quimby, it might be best if you ask her directly... While she's my student, her conduct hardly aligns with what's expected of a competent healthcare worker."Daniel elegantly fiddled with a lighter while

Daniel's expression was imposing.Nina noticed it and spoke cautiously. "Mr. Quimby, please don't be angry. It's my fault for not supervising properly, which allowed someone like her into my office. Rest assured that she won't appear in the hospital anymore."Hazel burst into tears upon hearing those words, practically begging, "Dr. Perkins, please don't dismiss me. If I lose this job, I can't go back home."I had no choice! My mom said my little brother needed a new computer for college, and they kept asking me for money. But my internship pay is so low. Even if I don't eat or drink, I can't afford to buy him a computer all at once!"Nina frowned and looked at Daniel.Hazel crawled closer to Daniel. "Mr. Quimby, please give me one more chance! It was a momentary lapse of judgment. I promise I won't dare to do anything against Ms. Squire anymore. Mr. Quimby, please have mercy on me. I know I was wrong."Daniel's stern face was difficult to read. He looked down at Hazel and sudden

Arya sat across from Maisie, her demeanor somewhat reserved, and Maisie's mood carried its own complexity.Still, Maisie offered a smile and initiated the conversation. "Did you ask me out today for a specific reason?"Arya, who appeared hesitant on the phone—a contrast to her usually candid self—replied awkwardly, "Well, it's not anything major. It's just that my parents and I have been feeling guilty about my brother's behavior. I'm wondering, do you still hold any grudges against us?"Maisie's heart warmed, and she gently held Arya's hand. "You don't need to feel this way. How could I hold any grudges against you? Your brother and I weren't a good match, and not being together might have been fated.""Now that Sophia has faced the consequences and my brother..." Arya sighed. "Graham isn't doing well, either. It's like divine retribution."I'm sorry. I shouldn't be talking about this." Arya smiled. "I'm here today to give you this!"She then presented a newly published set of c

"I..." Maisie didn't quite know how to respond.Arya quickly waved her hand and said, "Please, don't misunderstand. I'm not prying into your privacy. I just find this situation a bit odd.""Yeah, it does seem strange," Maisie said, lowering her head in thought. She added, "I didn't know Daniel before. I first met him while working at the kindergarten. So, I'm not sure why Graham's suspicions exist. If needed, I can explain things to him in person.""Do you really want to see him again?"Maisie chuckled. "We ended our engagement—we're not enemies. Plus, as you mentioned, he has already faced consequences, hasn't he?"Arya nodded, admiring Maisie's magnanimity. She couldn't help but think she might not have the same composure if Toph treated her the same way.After a light meal, Maisie went straight to the hospital. She knew Graham would be at the hospital today for a dressing change and the ward he'd be in. While she no longer had lingering feelings for him, she felt the need to c

Daniel's smile couldn't entirely mask his imposing presence, which still managed to unsettle Maisie. He gently held her hand, understanding her unspoken reason for being there."Don't worry. I was just curious," he assured her, meeting her gaze. "Maisie, are you... still afraid of me?""Still?" Maisie questioned, puzzled. "Was I afraid of you before?"Daniel fell silent, his thoughts taking him back in time.The old Maisie had indeed been fearful of him. She had been worried he might become tired of her, stop supporting her family, or cast her out on a whim. As such, she had been meticulous, going to great lengths to please him. Even in bed, she had yielded to his every desire, striving to accommodate his every whim.Back then, he had been enamored with her, seeing her as the most submissive and obedient woman he had ever met. Looking back, he now realized his affection had been more like a master's fondness for a submissive pet.Daniel gazed at her once more, the clarity in her

After what felt like a long time, Maisie finally calmed down. She glanced at the man before her and took a deep breath, her heart suddenly aching as if something had been ripped away."Maisie!" Daniel was still worried and nervously held her hand, continuously apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I acted too hastily. I shouldn't have behaved that way!"Don't worry! I promise I won't do anything you're uncomfortable with in the future!"Maisie gazed at him for a moment, then softly shook her head."No, it's my fault," she murmured. "I should be the one apologizing. I don't know what came over me just now. At that moment, my mind seemed to—"Before she could finish, her phone rang.Daniel helped her straighten her attire, adjusted her seat, and used his coat to cover her legs.Maisie answered the call, and Nicole's hesitant voice came through. "Maisie... Can you come home soon? Mom... She...""Alright, I'll speak with her directly!"The phone was taken by someone else."Maisie

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
