Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1852

"Take Ms. Maisie for a stroll on the island, Daniel." Whitney stood up, her elegant tone tinged with laziness. "I've prepared the guest room for the two of you. You can stay for a few days if you'd like. Your uncle and I will try our best to accommodate you. I'd like to rest now, so I won't be having dinner with you. Suit yourself!"

As Daniel moved to follow her, he noticed Maisie looking visibly upset. He sighed as this was not what he had anticipated. Their first meeting had ended in a quarrel.

"Don't take it personally, Maisie," he comforted. "My aunt takes time to warm up to people. She's like this with everyone she meets for the first time. You'll find out after spending some time with her."

"That's right," a kind-looking old man interjected. "Ignore her, Ms. Maisie! Women in menopause are like that!"

Daniel chuckled, giving the old man a big hug. "Uncle!"

Toby Edwards patted his shoulder, admiration filling his eyes. He was an upbeat and majestic old man, yet he didn't seem old despite his white sideburns. If anything, it added to his charm.

"You guys must stay for a few days on the island! Seize the opportunity to get familiar with the place and perhaps hold your wedding here. How's that?"

"You're spoiling me, uncle!"

"You fool!" Toby smiled. "How am I spoiling you? I wouldn't allow you to get married on the island if not for Ms. Maisie!"

"You old thing..."

They exchanged playful banter, and the atmosphere warmed considerably.
