Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1843

"She?" Daniel paused and chuckled. "She's not a relative of mine. She's my aunt's student."

"Anya..." Maisie pronounced her name, tracing the photo with her fingertips and couldn't help but smile. "She's really beautiful."

Daniel hurriedly said, "You're beautiful too."

Maisie pushed him lightly, looking coy. "She's your aunt's student, so is she also a playwright?"

"Yes," Daniel explained, "I know very little about her, but I've heard she was a talented writer and playwright. However, she kept a low profile, maintained a mysterious persona to the outside world, and hadn't produced many works. Hence, very few people know this name."

"Does she still write books?" Maisie asked curiously.

Daniel shook his head and replied, "She was troubled by love later on and seemed quite distressed over a man. My aunt was disappointed in her and never contacted her again."

"And then?"

"And then... she passed away." Daniel drew Maisie close, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. "I don't know about her, actually. You can ask my aunt in person if you want to know more."

Maisie paused before she lowered her gaze.

Daniel smiled and caressed her face. "Speaking of which, I want to find a suitable opportunity to introduce you to my aunt. Okay?"

Maisie looked a bit fearful, her gaze hesitant.

Daniel held her shoulders, his tone gentle, each word flowing like a gentle stream. "To me, Aunt Whitney is like my mom, even closer than my mom. You know, my parents passed away early, and it was my aunt and uncle who helped me through tough times.

"When I just took over this position, many in the Quimby Group were watching me closely. It was my aunt and uncle who came out to stabilize the situation. The people from my maternal grandfather's family helped me secure my position…

"I want to marry you. I can ignore what the Quimbys think, but I must bring you before my aunt and uncle, to my maternal grandfather's family. I want their blessings."
