Daniel gently held her. He didn't know how to comfort her, but he did what he could to stop her from trembling so much.

Maisie felt chills run down her spine and overwhelming sadness. "Did my mom really want to harm me? Why would she do this..." "Perhaps she never truly regarded you as her daughter," Daniel murmured. "You should never have any fantasies about her."

"Owen, Nicole, and I are all her children. Why would she "

"What if that's not the case?" Daniel blurted out.

Maisie was stunned, her mind going blank. "What do you mean by that?"

Daniel took a deep breath and said after a while, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just hoping you won't get too caught up in this rotten person and situation. Since the moment she sent you to my bed for money many years ago, you should have known she wasn't fit to be your mother!"

Maisie lowered her gaze, feeling a chilling void in her heart.

"I think she'll come looking for you again." Daniel looked at her. "Leaving aside whether those dirty things in the food were deliberate or not, this sudden change in attitude from her is highly suspicious.

"Maisie, how about... you move in with me?"

Maisie was taken aback, looking up at him.

Daniel chuckled, his gaze filled with indulgence. "I admit I'm a bit selfish. I always want to be with you, but this suggestion is also for your safety. Until Cindy achieves her goal, she will continue to harass you. If you live with me, I can protect you, and that's the best solution."

Maisie arrived at the Quimby residence with Daniel.

Everyone in the Quimbys knew she was the one Daniel cherished, so they all treated her with utmost respect. Although it was her second time there, compared to the rushed first visit, she could leisurely and thoroughly explore where he lived this time.

Daniel arranged her room in the best location on the estate and not far from his room Everything in the room was arranged according to her preferences. Next door was a spacious and bright study. He had brought all the books she needed, including many rare editions that were hard to find elsewhere.

Even a pen holder and a pair of slippers-he had carefully chosen everything to give her the best.

Maisie chuckled, grateful as she looked at him.

Her presence made Daniel more excited than anyone else. Even the housekeepers and service staff were discussing it. Daniel, who was usually aloof and unapproachable, seemed like a different person these days, smiling and amiable.

When he wasn't busy, he would hold Maisie's hand and stroll around the garden, showing her various rooms and corners. When she couldn't walk anymore, he'd carry her back.

"If you're with me like this every day, won't you skip going to the office?"

Maisie sat on the swing in the yard, Tigger was playing with a ball nearby, while Daniel was busy with carpentry work.

Yesterday, Maisie had casually mentioned wishing for a wooden bookstand on the table. So, today, Daniel had been busy all morning-sketching, selecting wood, and finally, personally using all his skills on these few small pieces of wood.

He watched Maisie smile and thought the company's work would never be finished. Being with his wife was more important.

"Oh, by the way, I saw a small building nearby that looked exquisite, with a unique architectural style, but it seemed like no one lived there. What's that for?" Maisie asked.

Daniel paused, then smiled. "You're talking about Serene Park, right?"

"Serene Park?"
