Chapter 888
Maisie did not have a social account. For one thing, she had been a hard-working person from her school day to her job later, and she did not have the time and energy to run it.
For another, she was not good at expressing her emotions. In other words, she did not want to show her life in front of strangers. So, she never registered any account on social media. Usually, she just browsed the news on the home page.
As Maisie saw what Ezra had posted and the lawyers' statement he had forwarded, she asked in surprise, "You are going to sue those people?"
Ezra sneered, "You bet. Although the state says every citizen has the freedom of speech, it should be stipulated in the law. Their dirty words are already abusive. I want them to know the price of speaking without thinking. And some media are making up nonsense. I won't let them off."
Ezra knew the unpleasant comments online. Those about Maisie and the child, in particular, made him furious. If whatever they said was reliable, he would not be so angry, but they said that Maisie forced Ezra to marry the child; he even wished they were telling the truth!
"I just want to warn them. If they don't delete those comments, I won't let them off. I've given them another chance."
Maisie found Ezra was really in great anger and she consoled him, "In fact, there is no need to make a big deal out of it. They can say whatever they want."
Although those comments depressed her, Maisie did not want to sue them, which wasted time, energy, and money.
Ezra, however, was in a foul mood. "No way! They have to remove all the bad comments, or I will sue them one by one."
Maisie did not know what to do to calm him down and just let him do as he wished. But she thought Ezra's announcement was not real. They were not married for love and their child never ever was the fruit of love.
And Maisie had a weird feeling to see him call her "my wife" in the announcement. The title of "wife" seemed to eliminate the sense of distance between them a little - she seemed to be closer to him.
Maisie did not say anything, and Ezra breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Ezra had been worried that Maisie would object to his words in the online statement, such as "my wife" and "love". But she paid much more attention to his intention of suing those people, instead of his little evil thoughts.
They had a cup of coffee each in the café, and finally, they were told that Nancy's flight was going to land. So, they left the café to pick her up.
While waiting at the exit, Maisie felt her nerves were nearly on the edge again. Ezra saw it and picked a topic to relax her, "Don't be drunk again in the next few days. If you kick me out of the house again, my mother should be suspicious of our relationship."
Maisie was embarrassed by his words, "Sorry, I won't drink anymore."
Even without his reminder, she would not drink again. For one thing, it was not good for her health; for another, it made her ill-mannered. She would NEVER DRINK again.
Ezra smiled. "I remember you would have slept quietly when you were drunk."
Until now, Maisie did not know Ezra fell in love with her because he found her hidden beauty when she was drunk and he sent her home.
But Maisie relaxed when Ezra talked about drunkenness.
It did not take long for them to wait for Ezra's mother, who was instantly recognizable among people. She was slender in a caramel long coat and a black turtleneck bottoming shirt. She stood straight and wore a pair of large sunglasses. She was elegant in a French style. If there were no flecks of grey that speckled her dark hair, everyone would deem her as a young girl from her shape.
Ezra raised one hand to greet his mother, with the other holding Ezio.
Nancy had seen the three of them. They were as outstanding as her among the crowd. But Nancy was more interested in Maisie, who was standing beside Ezra. She had known Maisie and her experiences after Ezra told her in person that he had a child.
Nancy admired Maisie when she only heard about her experiences from her son. It was rare to find a stubborn but strong, rational girl in a fickle society.
And Nancy liked Maisie even more, just at a single glance today. Maisie was cool and elegant, and her tension did not affect her elegance.
"Let me hold Ezio," Maisie said to Ezra. He then could help her mother carry the luggage.
Ezra wanted to give his mother a big hug. However, his mother took off her sunglasses and said to Maisie with a smile, "Hello, Maisie."
Maisie replied, "Hello, Auntie Nancy, welcome to Riverside."
Previously, Maisie consulted with Ezra about how to call Ezra's mother. Ezra suggested the name of "Auntie Nancy", or it would be awkward for Maisie to call her "Mom" at the beginning.
Also, Ezra consulted with her mother about it. He said that Maisie had just married him and they would be embarrassed about "Mom".
His mother understood it was just a name and Maisie could call her whatever she wanted.
As for the past between Maisie and him, Ezra did tell his mother the truth. But he concealed the fact that Maisie did not forgive him. He lied to his mother that they were completely reconciled and fell in love again, so they were married.
The reason why Ezra told a lie was that he, as a dutiful son, wanted his mother to be happy. After all, his mother was a little worried about his marriage, and his marriage with Maisie took a load off his mother's mind, which made her future life more comfortable.
Thus, Nancy was cool when Maisie called her Auntie Nancy.
She ignored her son nearby and looked at the little boy in Maisie's arms. She said, "It must be Ezio. He looks exactly like Ezra when he was little."
"Hey, little baby," Nancy reached out her hand to touch Ezio's hand gently. She softened as if she suddenly returned to the days when she was young and lived abroad with Ezra.
At that time, life was somewhat difficult and bitter, but she felt nothing hard when she saw her baby in her arms.
