Married a Secret Billionaire

Maisie’s gaze was crystal-clear, while her smile was just as pure as it was five years ago when he first laid eyes on her. However, her eyes now held no sign of longing, admiration, love, or hatred for him.

Daniel felt a sudden pang in his heart.

“Sir? Sir?” Maisie noticed his distraction and gently called out to him. “Sir, what’s wrong?”

Daniel snapped back to reality, offering a polite smile. He apologized, “I’m sorry. It was my mistake earlier. I shouldn’t have brought this teddy bear in. It distracted the children.”

“This teddy bear is adorable,” Maisie replied with a smile. “Not only do the children like it, but I do too!”

“Is that right?” Daniel’s usually cold eyes sparkled warmly.

The bear was a gift he had given her five years ago, and she didn’t recall anything about it.

“If you like it, you can put it in the classroom.” Daniel’s voice trembled slightly. “You and the children can enjoy it every day.”

Maisie was momentarily puzzled, feeling a strange sensation. The man seemed familiar, but she couldn’t remember him from her blank memory.

“Sir,” Maisie murmured. “I’ve never seen you before. May I ask who you are?”

“I’m here to pick up a child,” Daniel said, maintaining his smile.

Just then, Persephone hopped over like a little squirrel, clinging to Daniel’s leg.

Daniel beamed at her and lifted her gently into his arms. “Is school over? Let’s go home!”

“Wait a moment!” Out of her duty as a teacher, Maisie stepped forward to stop him. “Sir, you can’t—”
