Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1771

"Lily..."

Lily flashed Maisie a gentle smile that conveyed everything without needing to be said.

"If you require assistance, just let me know. I'll do everything I can!"

"Thank you," Maisie replied, meeting Lily's sincere gaze.

"Why thank me? We get along well, and I'm happy to help!"

The two shared smiles.

Maisie poured a cup of coffee for Lily, and they settled by the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly admiring the distant scenery.

Spring had arrived in the city. The mountains in the distance had regained their lush greenery. Cherry blossoms along the streets resembled clusters of pale pink mist and swallows flitted through the willow branches joyfully.

Despite the arrival of spring, the frost in Maisie's heart proved resistant to thawing.

Lily turned to her, softly asking, "Maisie, are you truly never going to forgive him?"

Maisie fell silent, unsure how to respond to such a complex question.

Rather than recalling past times with Daniel or the love and hate they shared, what flashed through her mind were the days after losing her memory and reconnecting with him.

Scenes played in her mind-him appearing with a teddy bear at the kindergarten, a secret amusement park built just for her, covering her with his coat and whispering "I'm here" when danger loomed...

It was his attempts at household chores, the longing and nervousness in his kisses, the sense of peace when he stayed by her side day and night...

Maisie's heart stung, and she involuntarily closed her eyes.

"I'm not advising you to forgive him." Lily's voice was gentle. "I'm hoping you can forgive yourself."

"Lily..."

"No one can undo the past harm to you. What other way is there but to heal yourself? I know it hurts, but don't let that pain entrap you forever...

"Maisie, as women, we should treat ourselves better. Only by letting go can you move forward, right?

"As for Daniel or any other man..." Lily chuckled. "They're all fleeting! Let them do whatever they want!"

Maisie looked at her and giggled.

Perhaps she would never reach Lily's level of mindset, no matter how many years passed, but she admired this attitude.

"I understand." She held Lily's hand tightly. "I'll take care of myself, plan my next book, and strive for another success on the bestseller list!"

"That's the spirit!" Lily patted Maisie's shoulder, relieved to see her returning to her former spirited self.

The next day, Maisie's book publicity event took place at the largest bookstore in Cumulus City. Even before the start, the bookstore was packed inside and out with fans seeking her autograph. Renowned media outlets were present, securing their spots for breaking news.

The event progressed smoothly.

After numerous experiences, Maisie had mastered the art of interacting with her fans.

The atmosphere was warm and lively, with organizers considerately providing coffee and snacks for everyone.

The final segment was the Q&A session with journalists.

Seated on the stage, Maisie took a deep breath. This was her most dreaded part. She always had to prepare with the PR team in advance, listing potential questions and rehearsing the best answers. She was not adept at rote memorization, so she would get nervous and sweat profusely during previous events. Today, she silently prayed that the journalists' questions wouldn't be too off-the-wall.

At that moment, someone asked. "Ms. Squire, several remarkable scenes from your book, which have stirred quite a discussion online, are believed to be your personal experiences. What's your take on this?"
