Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Maisie followed Nicole's gaze and noticed that the person walking toward them was Daniel. She didn't understand why Nicole appeared fearful upon seeing him. Nicole instinctively shielded herself behind Maisie.

"Nicole, what's wrong?" Maisie asked.

Nicole remained silent, her expression seeming off.

When Daniel saw Nicole, his gaze changed. It wasn't his usual coldness, but rather, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.

This took Nicole by surprise. She couldn't believe the typically strong-willed Daniel would have such a gaze.

Maisie spoke softly. "Nicole. This is Mr. Daniel Quimby. He's also a family member of one of our students."

"Oh..." Nicole's voice quivered slightly, and she forced a smile. "Mr. Quimby's family member is here? Is Mr. Quimby... married?"

"No," Maisie clarified. "He's the child's granduncle."

"Yes," Daniel replied quietly. "I haven't gotten married."

He emphasized each word, looking at Maisie.

Maisie didn't catch the deeper meaning behind his words, but Nicole pulled her aside, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Maisie, you... be careful."

Maisie believed Nicole was concerned about her brother-in-law, so she assured her, "Don't worry, this is an international kindergarten, and security is good. Even if he comes, he won't dare to harm me."

"I... I wasn't just talking about your brother-in-law, but also..."

Nicole hesitated, not elaborating. She cast a quick glance at Daniel nearby and instinctively held Maisie's hand tightly.
