Chapter 1636


    “I’m sorry, Maisie. I… I didn’t want to hurt you,” Graham said.


    “You can’t hurt me,” Maisie stated, gazing into his eyes. “Because I’ve realized today that my feelings


    for you aren’t that deep.”


    Graham was taken aback, his head snapping up.


    “I just can’t understand one thing.” Maisie spoke softly. “Since you were already in love with someone


    else, why did you date me?”


    Graham’s throat tightened. He licked his lips and hoarsely replied, “Because Aunt Linda introduced


    you, and my parents were quite satisfied with you…


    “Plus, you’re beautiful, without a strong background, and easy to control. Even if I had other women


    after we got married, you wouldn’t do anything to me, nor would your family would be able to do


    anything to me.”


    Maisie’s eyes widened. So, he wanted to marry her because she was easy to bully and had no family


    to back her up?


    It made sense. In a family with matching backgrounds, someone like Lina or Arya would never put up


    with that. Not to mention that they wouldn’t just ept the insult—their powerful families would have


    already taken action against him.


    After the initial shock, Maisie suddenlyughed.


    Graham’s expression changed. This was not as he had expected. He thought Maisie would be


    emotionally overwhelmed and might even p him a few times. However, that didn’t happen.


    Maisie didn’t cry or create a scene. Instead, she remained remarkably calm, making Graham feel


    uneasy.


    “Maisie, if you’re really angry, you can hit me… Come on, you can hit me! It’s my fault. I’m the viin


    here. I was the one who wronged you!” He reached out to take Maisie’s hand, but she suddenly pulled


    away and looked at him once before silently turning to leave.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

    At that moment, it felt as if her heart had fallen into ce as if she had been waiting for this result all


    along. With the oue now, her heart felt at peace. –


    Maisie went to work as usual the next day, but her colleagues looked at her differently.


    She endured through the morning’s sses. During the lunch break, she went to the pantry,


    overhearing a few of her coworkers talking.


    “Is it true that Ms. Squire got dumped by her fiance?”

    “It sure is! James is the child of that woman Mr. Bayer is seeing outside! That woman deliberately put


    her son in her ss to unt her authority!”


    “And she’s this arrogant as the kept mistress?”


    “Ah, Mr. Bayer would rather marry a woman who has been married before and has a child than marry


    Ms. Squire… Do you think there’s something wrong with Ms. Squire?”


    Maisie bit her lip, then boldly entered the pantry. The conversations stopped abruptly.


    When the crowd saw her, they didn’t know what to say, and the atmosphere turned awkward. They all


    stared at each other and quietly left the room.


    Maisie filled her cup with water and found herself face-to-face with Ruth. Thetter treated her well on


    ordinary days, and as Daniel’s senior, he had asked her to take care of Maisie.


    That was why Ruth was also furious in this case.


    Ruth patted her shoulder and said in a low voice, “Ms. Squire, don’t force yourself for the time being. If


    you need to take leave, take as much time off as you need.”


    “Ms. Corbin, I…” She had intended to say she didn’t need it, but a sudden wave of dizziness almost


    made her lose her bnce.


    “Oh dear, you don’t look good. Are you feeling unwell?” Ruth reached out to touch her forehead. It did


    feel warm, so she immediately called Daniel.


    “Daniel, Ms. Squire isn’t feeling well. Can youe and take care of her?”
