Chapter 1677


    Wesley shivered when he saw Graham''s grin. Unsure whether to raise his ss, he reluctantly went


    along, forcing a


    smile. "Yes, yes! You''ll wipe the floor with those guys, Mr. Bayer!"


    "Will you assist me?" Graham asked.


    "I..." He couldn''t bring himself to respond.


    "If you''re willing to help, I can find ways to not only revive your struggling business but also elevate


    your sess


    beyond imagination!"


    Wesley scanned his surroundings, then reluctantly nodded while gnashing his teeth. -


    It was evening when Maisie awoke.


    The sunset streamed through the wall-to-ceiling window, casting a warm glow on the living room


    carpet. She rose


    quietly and found Daniel busy in the kitchen.


    She smiled and yfully embraced him from behind.


    At first, he was taken aback, but he soon turned around with a smile.


    "The soup will be ready soon," he said.


    Today, he was preparing truffle and mushroom soup.


    He had been improving his culinary skills. The soup''s temperature was just right, and its aroma was


    mouthwatering.


    Maisie giggled as she looked at him. "With you here, I guess all I need to do is wait for food?"


    He replied, "You don''t have to work so hard anymore. I''ll handle everything at home."


    "What about my job?" she asked.


    "I''ll take care of that, too," he replied.


    "Won''t I be useless if you do everything for me?"


    "I owe you this," he muttered softly, almost inaudibly.


    Daniel said that to himself. He felt indebted to her for everything, even the truffle and mushroom soup


    he was


    preparing. She used to make it for him frequently in the past.


    Maisie was puzzled. She gazed at him, asking, "What did you say?"


    Daniel smiled and toyed with her hair. "I''m happy to do it!"


    The soup was ready, and he served her a bowl. She couldn''t stop praising his cooking after taking a


    taste.


    They chatted as they enjoyed their meal.


    Maisie had big ns for the future. She didn''t want to be a kindergarten teacher forever. She aimed to


    be a


    certified journalist and, if possible, a foreign correspondent to experience other cultures.


    She also aspired to learn to drive, even though she didn''t own a car yet. She nned to buy a small


    one once she


    saved enough money and got her license, making it convenient to go ces.


    Additionally, she wanted to learn two more foreignnguages, preferably lessmon ones, in case


    they came in


    handy.


    Her eyes sparkled as she spoke about her aspirations, and Daniel couldn''t help but smile while looking


    at her.


    These ambitions were new for her.


    While in his luxurious cage, she had been like a content canary, focused on making him happy every


    day.


    But her longing for the future made her even more enchanting.


    "Am I talking too much?" She set down her spoon, gazing at him with embarrassment. "I''m sorry. I tend


    to get

    carried away when I talk about this."


    "No." Daniel smiled. "I love listening to you."


    "But I''ve been talking for a while. It''s your turn now."


    "My turn?"


    "Mm-hmm."


    Daniel was taken aback, and aplex expression crossed Maisie''s face.
