Chapter 1701


    "Got it, got it." Amanda nodded quickly.


    Leroy felt terrified. After forcing down the wine, he sprinted out of the club as if his life depended on it.


    Amanda dared not say more and left awkwardly.


    When Daniel returned to the hotelter, he saw a petite figure gazing at the sunset outside the window


    as he


    entered the room.


    Maisie didn''t react when he approached. She was still in a daze.


    Daniel smiled and hugged her from behind.


    She was shocked but yfully punched him when she turned her head and saw him.


    "What''s wrong?" He tucked her hair behind her ears. "You look like you have a lot on your mind. Are


    you worried


    about your family?"


    She nodded. "I''m still concerned about my mom."


    He frowned. "What did she say to you?"


    "She didn''t say anything. She hasn''t contacted me since we talked about the house. She stutters and


    avoids talking


    when I call. When I asked my sister, she couldn''t say anything either.


    She sighed. "It seems like they''re upset about the demolitionpensation."


    Daniel felt pained for her. Sometimes he found it strange too. Since being with her, he had be


    much more


    soft-hearted. He would not be as cruel as he used to be toward people and things he despised.


    Daniel had had his secretary send money to the Squires beforeing here. He wanted Maisie to be


    at ease. It


    would also help shut Cindy''s mouth.


    "Don''t worry." He rested her chin on her shoulder. His voice was deep and electric. "It''s been solved."


    "Hmm?"


    "It''s been dealt with," he repeated, smiling. "I guarantee your family will get something they''re happy


    with."


    "Really?"


    "Of course."


    "Daniel..." she looked at him for a while before asking carefully, "Is there anything in this world that


    you... can''t


    solve?"


    He answered seriously, "Yes. I don''t know how to win your heart forever."


    She didn''t know what he was implying. She smiled.


    Daniel suddenly hugged her tight as if she would fly away in the next second.


    Some people knew about his past with her. Perhaps they wouldn''t dare to spread it because they


    feared him. But if


    someone were to leak it one day, causing her to recall the past, their rtionship might end.


    He was scared as soon as he thought of that.


    Maisie was losing her breath from his hug, but she sensed that his strong arms seemed to be shaking.


    "Daniel..." She patted his back. "What''s wrong, Daniel?"


    He loosened the hug.


    He huskily said, "Would you still like me if I were not a good person?"


    "Why are you so weird today?" She held him and looked at him with her starry eyes. "Who told you that


    you''re not a


    good person?"


    He smiled and said nothing more.


    He tilted his head and looked at the article she was writing on theputer. He inched closer curiously,


    but she


    blocked him because she was shy.


    "Don''t look!"

    "What conspiracy are you writing?"


    She blushed and moved away slowly. "You can look but must tell me what you think of it."
