Chapter 1710


    Daniel took a deep breath,posed himself, and returned to his desk to continue working. After work,


    he went to


    the hotel.


    Lately, his visits to the hotel suite had been frequent, and the hotel manager was overjoyed, as he


    thought that he


    had a chance of being promoted to the Quimby Group''s headquarters. Every day, he treated Maisie like


    royalty.


    When Daniel entered, Maisie had already prepared dinner.


    "You came so early?" She smiled sweetly. "I thought you''d be a littlete. I was just about to have the


    food taken to


    the kitchen to keep it warm."


    "No need." Daniel''s exhaustion vanished instantly when he saw her.


    Maisie naturally took his coat and hung it on the rack, handed him his slippers, and gave him his


    personalized


    insted cup, which contained perfectly warm ck tea.


    Daniel''s heart warmed, and his smile became gentle. He held her hand and sat down at the table.


    The table was set with home-cooked dishes, delicious both in taste and appearance. It was evident that


    they had


    been prepared by Maisie.


    "These..."


    "I made them all," Maisie said softly. "I was worried you''d get tired of the hotel''s food, so I borrowed


    their kitchen to


    make you something different."


    "You don''t have to go to such lengths for me." Daniel held her hand. "I''m afraid you''ll get too tired."


    Maisie shook her head, still smiling. Her sweet and gentle demeanor was just like before.


    Daniel''s heart clenched. She had been willing to give him everything back then, and she still did now.


    The more she

    did, the more he feared losing her again.


    Daniel tightened his grip on Maisie''s hand, causing her to wince.


    "I''m sorry!" He snapped back to reality. "Did I hurt you?"


    "No," Maisie said, looking at him. "You seem preupied today."


    "I..." Daniel didn''t know where to start, so he forced a smile and changed the topic. "How''s your exam


    preparation


    going?" "I just registered today," Maisie said with a chuckle. "The exam is quite challenging, and there''s


    a lot of


    material to cover in a short time. I''m afraid..."


    "It''s okay, take your time. These exams happen every year, so there''s no rush. Consider this gaining


    experience


    and don''t worry too much about passing. You might find that, with a rxed mindset, your results will


    be better


    than you imagine."


    Maisie smiled and touched his face. "You''re always so good atforting me."


    "Maisie." Daniel lowered his voice, gazing tenderly at her. "How about... we get married first?"


    "Huh?" Maisie was taken aback. "But I don''t have anything."


    "You don''t need to have anything."


    "But I want to give you the best too." Maisie''s eyes sparkled like stars. "I can''t rely on you alone. I want


    to have my


    own career. I want toe to you with something substantial and grow old with you."


    Daniel smiled. Hearing her say "grow old with you" was already very satisfying to him.


    "Can you wait for me a little longer?" She nestled against him, nuzzling on his sturdy chest. "At least


    wait for me to


    finish my exams or find a new direction in life. I''ll make an effort. And when it happens, I''ll have the


    confidence to


    marry you." "Alright." He gently swiped her nose, his gaze bing increasingly suggestive and his


    voice turning


    husky. "Then... let me stay over tonight, okay?"
