When Daniel returned to the hotel later, 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.

about your family?"

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 demolition compensation."

"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 the computer. 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."
