There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Chapter 897

Chapter 897

Of course, Nancy didn't tell Ezra and Maisie how she irritated Roman, lest it would induce some unnecessary trouble.

If Ezra were not Roman's son, she would have told him clearly, let alone allowed Ezra to fight over the property of the Cantillos.

Roman had been in a bad situation, and this time he was sent to ICU directly.

Shaking his head and heaving a sigh, the doctor told Ezra, "Mr. Cantillo cannot stand any irritation indeed."

"He was supposed to live for a year or so if he kept nursing his disease properly. However, since his disease was diagnosed, he has been irritated by various kinds of problems. During this period, he has fallen into a stupor so many times which drained his energy."

The recuperation after a major operation was very important, especially mental.

Roman didn't do it well obviously.

But he deserved it, having no one to blame. He just repaid his debts.

As Roman was sent to ICU, few people could visit him. And then the trio left the hospital.

On the way home, Maisie had a little concern that Nancy would feel sad again after meeting Roman, thereby asking, "Nancy, are you ok?"

Nancy patted her hands consolingly and smiled, "I'm good."

The bad guy was in ICU.

Maisie saw that Nancy was not upset indeed and suggested, "Have a rest at home later."

"Sure," Nancy answered gently.

However, it puzzled Maisie that Ezra told her his mother was not that healthy, thus they should pretend to be a sweet couple so that his mother wouldn't worry much about them.

But now, it seemed that her physical fitness was not bad.

As they arrived home, Nancy lived in one of the bedrooms specially prepared for her on the second floor. And the baggage of Maisie and her son was packed up to the third floor by Daisy.

While Nancy went upstairs to take a bath and rest, Ezra planned to go to the grocery store with Maisie. At the same time, their son had to cling to them. Initially, Maisie didn't want to take him because he was too young and needed holding in her arms all the way. He could actually sit in the grocery cart, but it couldn't last for long.

Nevertheless, Ezra decided to take the little boy, "I will hold him all the way."

Maisie cast a glance at him, thinking he just pampered the child too much.

Ezra puzzled, with the boy in his arms, "What's wrong?"

"I think there is no need to indulge him. It is not convenient because what we are going to buy is not a few." Answered Maisie.

Ezra raised his eyebrow and pondered—did she blame him for spoiling their son?

Almost without hesitation, he handed over his boy to Daisy. Then he looked at Maisie and said, "You are the boss."

Both Maisie and Daisy were in silence.

The little boy felt more confused. After he knew it, he then pouted aggrievedly, about to cry out.

Presumably, he didn't understand at all why his father just decided to take him but then left him at home in a second.

Ezra turned to look at him, pinched his little face, and apologized, "Sorry, my little man. You'd better stay at home. Papa and mama have so much stuff to buy that we can hardly take good care of you."

Actually, Ezra's inner thought was that he only wanted to butter his wife up. Son? Let it go.

And Ezra never thought about that though Maisie was extremely gentle and patient with her son in daily life, she did act on principles when she should be strict.

Ezra ignored his son due to Maisie's opposition made Daisy almost laugh. What a typically hen-pecked sort of man.

But she cheered the little child in her arms up timely, "Boy, let's play with toys at home. Your parents will come back soon."

Meanwhile, she held him to the toy room which distracted his attention. Although he still made a mournful sound, he temporarily forgot that he was left at home after seeing the toys.

Additionally, he had a good temperament, calming down after a while.

Maisie was speechless about Ezra's behavior.

Seeing that their son didn't insist on clinging to them, she then turned to leave. Ezra sighed with relief and followed her.

As they went out, he held her and said sincerely, "Don't be angry. I didn't mean to turn against you just now."

"I'm not," Maisie said.

She considered that he should persist in holding his son, but he just changed his mind as soon as she cast a glance at him. It seemed that he didn't get a mind of his own. She was merely speechless about him in lieu of being angry.

But she fought for herself, "Do you always think that I am an angry type of person?"

Ezra promptly said, "No. You are emotionally stable and never get angry easily."

"So why did you tell me ‘don't be angry?" she asked again.

At that moment, it was like a cat got his tongue. He was excessively nervous for fear that she turned a deaf ear to him. Unexpectedly, his words just made it worse which seemed that she would be angry at any time.

In retrospect, Ezra was once eloquent on business battlefields. How did he become so poor in expression?

It was the first time to see Ezra—who was always energetic—being so awkward, Maisie couldn't help to chuckle.

She gave him an out, "Forget it. Let's go."

After saying that, she opened the door and get into the car. And Ezra hurried to get in. Then they drove away.

On the second floor, Nancy watched their conversation from the window of her bedroom.

She smiled broadly. Especially when she saw his son fail to explain and become embarrassed, she laughed a hearty laugh. While other mothers-in-law wanted their daughters-in-law to follow their sons' lead, Nancy did oppose it.

She reckoned that man should dote on his wife. Happy wife, happy life, wasn't it? She hoped her son would be obedient to Maisie, living a good life.

But Nancy saw the problem between Ezra and Maisie - she didn't get enthusiastic much about him. Nancy was keen on seeing that Ezra felt awkward in front of Maisie.

It was good for him to learn how to cherish his wife from more hardships.

Ezra drove the car to a grocery store nearby with Maisie.

In the store, Maisie led Ezra who controlled the grocery cart to produce section directly and chose what she should buy deftly. She had finished planning tonight's menu on the way here, thus she could merely select the materials and ingredients required.

She was always a brisk doer. Seeing the full cart, Ezra thought it was a hoot and a half by.

He still wanted to do grocery shopping.

Definitely, he still wanted to do grocery shopping with her, especially living this kind of normal daily life.
