Ezra pleaded with a sincere expression, "So...I might have to trouble you by playing a loving couple with me.
Fearing that she might decline, Ezra hastily explained, "My mother won't be in Riverside City for long because she didn't
accustom to the domestic lifestyle, not to mention that my father and Diana were also in this city. She will leave soon after meeting
you and Ezio and knowing that I have a happy family now."
“Are you sure about it?" Out of nowhere, Maisie didn't think his words were highly credible.
Ezra admitted, "It was just my assumption. Otherwise, what is she doing here? She doesn't have friends here and her job is
based in a foreign country.
Ezra continued to lure her, "In one word, She won't stay at Riverside City over a month.”
Maisie now was in a dilemma. Seeing Ezra’s mother completely interrupted her plan. But she couldn't be so ruthless as to
reject a mother's request.
She asked, "What can I do for you?"
Ezra flashed her tempting smile, “At least living together? Or smiling nicely at me?"
Maisie didn't know how to answer that.
She could endure living together. But smiling at him was beyond her abilities.
Among their small group, Maisie, together with Jean belonged to the sedate and sober type of person. The environment
she grew up in and her job determined her quiet and serious personality.
Emelia was always with a friendly smile. Nina was needless to say. She was a charming woman with a contagious smile on
her face all the time.
Because of their characteristics, Maisie and Jean laughed genuinely out of sheer delight. Apart from that, Of course, they
were capable of flashing a civil smile. As for smiling at Ezra...
She rarely did this to Ezra.
Maisie recalled the days when they were still together. lt seemed that she laughed quite frequently.
But what has passed was passed. She was in totally different thinking.
How could you fix a broken heart?
She loved him wholeheartedly at that time but now all she left was alertness and caution. How could she give hima genuine smile with such vigilance?
Noticing her quandary, Ezra sighed inside his mind and made a concession, “Let's at least stay together. Otherwise, my mother will be suspicious. How you treat me is your call."
There was nothing he could do about it.
He would be just fine if she was happy.
At hearing this, Maisie breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she really didn't know what to do.
Ezra suggested, "How about having dinner together tonight?"
Maisie was a bit confused about his sudden invitation. Ezra accounted for it, "We obtained the marriage certificate today. We are supposed to have a nice dinner and celebrate it.”
Maisie apologized. "Sorry about that. But I already had an appointment with Daniel.”
Daniel has always been very nice to her. Daniel's wife met her several times after she came to Grafstin and grew attached to her. They got pretty lonely since their children had immigrated to a foreign
country. Therefore, they increasingly liked the company of Maisie.
To get her familiar with running the branch more rapidly, Daniel didn't begrudge helping her at work. Maisie was much obliged to them.
Daniel's wife was worried about her after knowing that she got pregnant. Often was the case that they invited Maisie to have dinner in their house. Daniel's wife almost became her godmother.
And now Maisie was going to depart for a foreign country. Daniel's wife's heart nearly broke after learning of her decision and invited her for a farewell dinner in advance. Today was the day they appointed, which happened to be their wedding day.
Daniel's wife must have prepared the dinner. It would be highly inappropriate if she broke their appointment.
Ezra frowned after hearing about their appointment. "Daniel? Have dinner at his place?"
To defuse his confusion, Maisie explained, "They treat me as their own daughter. They insisted on a farewell dinner after learning about my departure."
Ezra didn't know how to react to that. Seemingly he and the marriage were nothing important to her since she had no difficulty in choosing between him and Daniel.
Ezra knew that he deserved that treatment. He was the one who walked away from the relationship.
And he came to regret letting her go. The fact that he once lost her and Ezio actually prompted him to treasure them more than ever.
Fortunately, his son was still alive and she hasn't seen someone else.
In the evening, Maisie came to Daniel's house with Ezio. Daniel and his wife were fond of Ezio and quite worried after knowing about Ezio's wound. Maisie taking Ezio with her was to dispel their worry.
Daisy went out with Carl to have dinner since Ezio didn't need her. Ezra was alone at the big house.
Ezra watched Maisie leave with Ezio without a sense of guilt. What a heartless woman to take away his son on such a big day!
Upon arriving, Daniel's wife held Ezio tightly. She shed tears after noticing the gauze on Ezio's forehead.
"They are lower than animals!” Daniel's wife cursed.
Daniel's wife asked her after entering the house, "How come Ezra didn't come with you?"
Maisie didn't foresee this question. She answered, “He was not coming since he was just an acquaintance to you and Daniel.”
Daniel's wife grinned, "Didn't you two get married today?"
Maisie was surprised to hear that, “May I ask where did you know this?"
Maisie didn't inform many people of their marriage since they would divorce soon. After all, the more people knew it, the more trouble they got.
Daniel's wife gave Daniel a look, replying, "Daniel learned from his friend that Ezra posted a picture of his marriage certificate. We assumed that it was you because he was in Grafstin.”
Daniel's wife's speculation was justified. And Maisie didn't want to lie to them. So she told them the whole story, which made them surprised. At first, they were thinking that Maisie and Ezra got married because they have patched things up.
