Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1636

"I'm sorry, Maisie. I... I didn't want to hurt you," Graham said.

"You can't hurt me," Maisie stated, gazing into his eyes. "Because I've realized today that my feelings for you aren't that deep."

Graham was taken aback, his head snapping up.

"I just can't understand one thing." Maisie spoke softly. "Since you were already in love with someone else, why did you date me?"

Graham's throat tightened. He licked his lips and hoarsely replied, "Because Aunt Linda introduced you, and my parents were quite satisfied with you…

"Plus, you're beautiful, without a strong background, and easy to control… Even if I had other women after we got married, you wouldn't do anything to me, nor would your family would be able to do anything to me."

Maisie's eyes widened. So, he wanted to marry her because she was easy to bully and had no family to back her up?

It made sense. In a family with matching backgrounds, someone like Lina or Arya would never put up with that. Not to mention that they wouldn't just accept the insult—their powerful families would have already taken action against him.

After the initial shock, Maisie suddenly laughed.

Graham's expression changed. This was not as he had expected. He thought Maisie would be emotionally overwhelmed and might even slap him a few times. However, that didn't happen.

Maisie didn't cry or create a scene. Instead, she remained remarkably calm, making Graham feel uneasy.

"Maisie, if you're really angry, you can hit me... Come on, you can hit me! It's my fault. I'm the villain here. I was the one who wronged you!" He reached out to take Maisie's hand, but she suddenly pulled away and looked at him once before silently turning to leave.

At that moment, it felt as if her heart had fallen into place as if she had been waiting for this result all along. With the outcome now, her heart felt at peace.
