Chapter 1690


    Maisie spoke out of anger, but she noticed a hint of guilt on Cindy''s face, which quickly transformed


    into suspicion


    and surprise.


    Cindy fixed her gaze on Maisie and asked, "Maisie, have you remembered something?"


    Maisie was puzzled and had no idea what Cindy was referring to.


    Cindy grabbed her and pressed, "Did you remember that person from before?"


    "What person?" Maisie was still puzzled. "Who are you talking about?"


    Cindy was about to respond, but Maisie''s phone rang, and she hurriedly went to the living room to


    answer it.


    Daniel was on the other end, his voice deep andforting. He hadn''t gone to attend to business


    matters but had


    been waiting outside her house. He was aware of the situation Maisie was facing, having dealt with


    Cindy a few


    years ago. He also knew that Maisie''s family hated and feared him.


    After assisting Nicole with her divorce, he had warned her not to reveal his rtionship with Maisie to


    anyone. Cindy


    still had no knowledge of Maisie''s involvement with Daniel.


    Listening to Daniel''s voice, Maisie felt relieved and smiled. "You came to pick me up so early?"


    "Yes, I want to take you to meet some people."


    "Who?"


    Daniel softly replied, "You''ll find out when we get there."

    Maisie sweetly agreed, informed Cindy, and headed downstairs. She couldn''t bear to stay in that house


    for another


    second.


    Daniel''s car was waiting at the intersection.


    During the ride, he didn''t say much, but a smile adorned his face, making anyone who saw it believe he


    had the


    world in his grasp.


    With one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding Maisie''s hand, they drove past familiar


    street scenes


    that had witnessed their presence throughout the city.


    Daniel had never expected that he would one day hold her hand and drive on this street again.


    "What''s making you so happy?" Maisie found him amusing. "Why the big smile?"


    He lightly replied, "Regained what was lost."


    "What?"


    "Nothing." As they waited at a red light, he gave her hand a gentle kiss.


    A strange feeling settled in Maisie''s heart. Ever since she arrived in Cumulus City, it felt like the city


    was concealed


    beneath a mysterious veil. She had a strong desire to unveil it and discover the city''s true face, yet she


    was also


    fearful of what she might uncover.


    She didn''t understand where this feeling wasing from. Since her return, Cindy had been saying


    peculiar things


    to her, and now, Daniel was doing the same.


    "Daniel."


    "What is it?"


    Maisie pursed her lips and leaned against him. "You won''t lose me, and I won''t lose you, right?"
