Maisie collected herself, remaining silent for a while. The kindness Daniel had shown her, her acquaintance with Lily, and what kind of person Lily really was-she had a clear picture of it all. She smiled, looking at Camila with a glint of pureness and determination in her eyes. "You're overthinking. I'm not reading too much into it."

"Oh, that's good!" Camila smiled. "I was worried... that you might mind Daniel's past with Ms. Reyes, so..."

"What's there to mind?" Maisie enunciated each word. "They didn't really have a past!"

"What?" Camila, who was taken aback, forced a smile. "Well... you really don't know? They..."

"They were married before, but they separated right afterward. They just got married for the sake of family interests." Maisie spoke nonchalantly. "They were married in name only. It was not like you said." "Hah, Daniel told you this?" Camila composed herself and took another sip of water. "Do you believe him?"

"Why wouldn't I?" Maisie chuckled. "He's told me everything about his past, and Racheal has confirmed it. I believe they wouldn't lie to me."

Camila hesitated, then shook her head. "Maisie, you're... quite simple!"

"There's nothing wrong with being simple." Maisie continued to smile. "By the way, I remember Daniel introducing you to me, saying you're the daughter of his fourth uncle and his younger cousin. So, you've never lived with Daniel before, right?"

"Well... no."

"How do you know so much about him then?"

Camila was appalled.

"Camila." Maisie continued. "You must have heard it from someone else, right? I think... you might be the one overthinking. Gossip is better left alone, and it's best not to take it too seriously, don't you think?" Camila, who was speechless, stared blankly at her.

Maisie glanced at her phone and shook it in front of Camila. "Sorry, Racheal has something for me. I'll go see her now. Can we discuss the manuscript later?"

"Oh, sure!" Camila's expression was extremely unnatural, but she still forced a smile. She watched Maisie walk away with a dark gleam in her eyes.

Admittedly, this was a gentle, intelligent girl. It seemed like amnesia had only made her forget the past and hadn't changed her true nature. Maisie used to be like this, and she still was-soft on the surface, yet decisive on the inside, especially when it concerned Daniel...

Camila bit her lip and smirked. She took her glass and turned back to her workstation.

She turned on her computer, the final manuscript Maisie had submitted appearing on the screen. If there were no issues with it, it would be time to prepare it for typesetting and printing. Camila smiled, moved the mouse, and made a few changes to the manuscript.

That day, Daniel found Maisie asleep when he got home. She had stayed up late to revise her manuscript again.

He had come to bring her breakfast, and once again, she was sprawled over the table in the same position as before, not covered with a blanket or even wearing a sweater.

Daniel was both angry and worried. After carrying her back to bed and waiting for her to wake up, he put on a serious expression and scolded her.

"This is the second time! Is this manuscript so important? Do you have to stay up late to revise it?"

Maisie rubbed her sleepy eyes. His low growl had startled her, and she got out of bed to wrap her arms around him from behind.

"Uh... I..."
