Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1711

Daniel's breath quickened, and warmth coursed through his body. In the past, he wouldn't have been so cautious around her, nor would he have kept this overwhelming feeling bottled up inside. Now... There was a wry smile on his face. The wheel of fate spun in mysterious ways!

Maisie placed a piece of braised meat in his mouth and smiled at him. "No thinking of anything else while eating!"

"But..." He playfully held her hand. "I really want to stay here."

"Not right now."

He sighed.

Even though it was the answer he had expected, her resolute response still made him feel disheartened.

"Alright." Daniel straightened up and obediently started eating. "By the way, how about I take you on a weekend getaway next week? Instead of studying all day at home, you need a change of scenery to clear your mind."

Maisie smiled. "Where are we going?"

"To my private hot spring club."

"You..." When Maisie heard this, the mischievous smile on his face told her immediately what was on his mind. Her cheeks turned red, and she nudged him with her elbow before turning away from him.

"I don't mean anything else by it." Daniel held her shoulder and said in a low voice, chuckling, "I just want to relax in the hot springs. Please don't mistake me for a pervert, okay?"

Maisie playfully thumped his chest with a laugh.

"But seriously, when are you going to pamper this old man?"

"What are you talking about?" Maisie looked into his eyes. "You're not old at all."

"But I'm much older than you." There was a hint of sorrow in Daniel's expression. "Age is an undeniable fact."

He looked pitiful, which only made Maisie's heart soften. She rested her small hand on the back of his hand as she snuggled against his shoulder.

"Don't make me wait too long, okay?"

Maisie nodded firmly.

Daniel grinned and kissed her forehead.

At that moment, Maisie's phone suddenly vibrated. She glanced at it and saw an email notification. She was about to dismiss it, but the sender's name caught her eye. "Leroy?" "Hmm?" Daniel was taken aback. "Why would he send you an email?"

Maisie opened the email and read it. Leroy's message was brief, but it contained two large files that needed to be downloaded onto a computer.

"Hello, Ms. Squire! There are two mock exam papers for the upcoming journalist qualification exam in the attachments. As long as you complete these two sets of questions before the exam, your success will be almost guaranteed! Best wishes."

"Heh, Leroy!" Daniel smiled slightly. Perhaps their "dinner" last time had left this renowned journalist somewhat fearful, which was why he had compiled his life's knowledge into two sets of practice questions to gain Maisie's favor.

"That's strange..." Maisie muttered to herself. "Mr. Kerk never contacts me on his own."

"It's alright," Daniel reassured her. "Since he's passing on his experience to you, work on these practice questions. It wouldn't hurt to be a little more prepared for the exam."

"Okay." Maisie grinned at him.

There were only a few weeks left until the exam, and she didn't have a professional background, so she had to put in more effort than others.

Winter gave way to spring, and the day of the exam arrived quickly.

Cumulus City, which was located further north than Centrolis, experienced spring a bit later. During the transition from frost to warmth, it was easy to catch a cold or spike a fever. Daniel had been extremely careful while taking care of Maisie, as he feared that any discomfort might affect her exam performance.

After the exam, Maisie stepped out of the test center and immediately spotted Daniel. He had parked the car far away and was waiting among the crowd.
