In the future, he would go to any lengths to reunite her with Wilfred, restoring the father-daughter bond and
ensuring she experienced the protective embrace of a father.
"There will be these kinds of activities in the future." He chuckled. "I'm talking about our kids. They'll be very happy.
I won't miss any school events of theirs."
Maisie was taken aback. "They?"
"Yeah." Daniel's hand circled her waist. "Let's have a few."
Maisie blushed and pushed him lightly, gesturing toward the driver upfront.
Daniel didn't mind. He coughed softly, and the driver immediately raised the partition.

"Whatever we do now won't be affected, right?"
Daniel's finger threaded through Maisie's long hair. He cupped her face, planting a gentle kiss on her lips.
"Don't..." Maisie halted his further advances. "Not here."
Daniel's breath was slightly unsteady. "Not here? So, shall we find another place?"
Maisie kept her eyes down, feeling her heart racing.
Daniel focused on her with a smile. Then, in a tone that allowed no refusal, he softly said, "We'll go to my place—
right now!"
Blushing, Maisie let him hold her hand. It had been long enough. Perhaps it was almost time to end his test...
She smiled shyly, feeling both nervous and a bit expectant as if she was back to the initial days when they were
together.
However, Lily's call came through at that moment.
Daniel was exasperated. As he was about to take the phone and hang up, Maisie pushed his hand away and
gestured for him to keep quiet.
"Lily, what's up?"
"It's fantastic news!" Lily was thrilled. "Mr. Newhouse has already sent the final investment contract, and the terms
are highly favorable! I heard you both met? You finalized all these details?"
"Yeah."
"Maisie, you're a money-making machine for the company. Hahaha!" Daniel could almost picture Lily's money-
hungry expression through the phone, rolling his eyes helplessly.

"Come to the office now. Let's have a meeting to discuss the script. We should seize this opportunity and quickly
finalize the outline and everything! You'll be busy, but don't worry. I've found some professors from the drama
school. They'll help you revise the script together..."
Daniel was anxious, almost blurting out, "She's busy tonight!"
Maisie desperately covered his mouth as she glanced at him.
"Maisie, what's wrong?" Lily sensed something off. "Is everything okay there? Are you alone?"
"Oh, yes." Maisie was embarrassed. "Lily, I'm on my way. I'll be there soon!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Lily smiled. "By the way, there's something strange I want to tell you... Delilah came to see
me today. After the last unpleasant incident, I thought she wouldn't consider our company again. But she said she
wants the final part of her serialized work to be published here... Do you think there's something fishy about it?"
Daniel heard this and furrowed his brow. He had to admit that he shared the same feeling as Lily.
