"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 success
beyond imagination!"
Wesley scanned his surroundings, then reluctantly nodded while gnashing his teeth. -

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 become useless if you do everything for me?"
"I owe you this," he muttered softly, almost inaudibly.

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.

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

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 a complex expression crossed Maisie's face.
