There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Chapter 912

Chapter 912

What Susan did this time made both Maisie and David disappointed and sad.

When David sent her to the bus station in Grafstin, he advised her to live a quiet and peaceful life with his father after she came back to the village. With the 5 million dollars given by Ezra, she could live a comfortable life.

No one would expect Susan to break her promise and do such shameful things and hurt Ezio.

Fortunately, she failed to take Ezio away, otherwise, David couldn't imagine what could happen to Ezio.

So, David felt resentful about his mother who did such a shameless thing, even if his mother had been very nice to him since his childhood.

His parents favored sons over daughters all the time, which made him feel guilty rather than thankful. He was tormented by his guilty since he was young, so he didn't have a deep affection for his parents.

It might be out of his parents' expectations. In their opinion, they have given all they have to the son, who should be very thankful to them. However, David was a man with a delicate and sensitive heart, and he thought it was stupid to neglect and underestimate Maisie.

Maisie comforted him gently, "Anyway, they love you. Don't make your relationship worse because of me."

"There is nothing to do with parents' love. There is something to do with views, moral quality, and character!" David shouted with disappointment and hate when mentioning his parents.

"Shameful! With such a mother, sometimes I am embarrassed when seeing Ezra or Julian."

David said from the bottom of his heart.

He felt shameful because of his parents.

Maisie also didn't know how to comfort her brother, because what their parents did made them have no intentions to accompany or care for them.

Maisie could understand how David felt.

David added, "This's why I never want to get married these years. My wife will have to get on with her, and I'm sure it will make my wife painful. Now I just don't think about it."

Maisie thought that David went to extremes, so she tried to persuade him, "If you really meet a desirable girl who also loves you very much and wants to marry you, then what will you do?"

David lowered his eyes and looked away, saying lightly, "Even if there is such a nice girl, I may lose her."

Maisie frowned slightly. She felt there was something wrong with David. He seemed to be a little sad. Was there a girl he loved?

Maisie was concerned about David's marriage very much, but it seemed he didn't intend to get into a relationship at all. She thought he wanted to devote himself to his work, just like her, so she left him alone.

She thought David was absorbed in his work because he never mentioned anything about his feelings. But now, she believed there was some girl he loved.

She had planned to ask a few more questions, but it was not proper at that time. Besides, David rejected marriages because of their parents, so she gave up. It was a good idea for her to ask David some other day.

They returned to the party. Then David went with Julian to chat with others. Ezra bought some refreshments for Maisie, who accepted and thanked him.

But after a few bites, Maisie found that Ezra didn't eat at all. He was staring at her, which made her uncomfortable.

She asked, "Why don't you have some refreshments?"

Ezra snorted in his heart, thinking she was more seductive than the refreshments.

First, Maisie looked so sexy and attractive in the dress. Second, the love affairs between her and Steven made him so angry that he wanted to punish her.

"On Sunday…" Ezra said. That was the only thing in his mind.

But the moment he mentioned it, Maisie said, "Oh, I had told David that I would not pick Steven up at the airport."

Ezra relaxed greatly. That was good news for him.

However, as soon as he was secretly pleased, Maisie went on saying, "I'll invite him to dinner with David at night."

Ezra couldn't stand it and said, "What? Will you invite him for dinner?"

Maisie felt Ezra made a fuss. She said lightly, "This is the most basic etiquette, right?"

Although she and Steven were not in a relationship, she was supposed to do the honors. Because Steven who trekked a long way to Riverside City was her good friend.

Moreover, she admitted that Steven was a nice man. Besides, he was a close friend of David, and he often did them a favor when they were studying abroad.

But to avoid misunderstanding, she rarely contacted Steven. After returning to China, she had even less contact with Steven. She knew that David was keeping in touch with him all the time.

Steven would send her a blessing message on festivals, and she would reply politely. That's all.

She was sure there was nothing between her and Steven, so she thought it was proper to invite Steven for dinner. Would it lead Ezra to make a fuss?

Ezra said frankly, "I'm afraid he intends to chase you again."

In fact, Ezra was also worried that the dinner was a good chance for Steven to chase Maisie.

So, he added, "Then let me go with you."

Maisie was speechless. Ezra had never seen Steven, and it seemed he didn't get along well with David. Could he imagine how embarrassing it would be if he came?

"Maisie, I'm your husband now. If I don't go to the dinner with you, I'm afraid your friend Steven may think I don't respect him. "Ezra tried every means to persuade Maisie.

"I don't think so," Maisie said.

She thought it would be even worse if he went to the dinner. It was possible for him to quarrel with Steven, which was bad for Steven.

Ezra was so angry that he began to drink.

He drank glasses of wine because his heart was torn.

Maisie tried to stop him when he picked up another glass of wine. She took the wine away and said, "Ezra, if you drink without eating anything, the wine will burn your stomach."

She knew Ezra had a delicate stomach. If he drank too much and was sent to hospital, what would Nancy think about her?

Ezra hummed, "Do you still care for me?"

He was so naïve in Maisie's eyes. Maisie then pushed the wine to him again, "If you want, I will not stop you."

Although she said she agreed, Ezra knew she was angry in fact. He stared at the wine, not knowing whether to drink it or not.

Finally, he chuckled to himself, "Hey, Maisie, you look quite cute when you get angry."

Having been getting along with Maisie for a long time, Ezra knew Maisie quite well. Unlike other women, Maisie would rather keep silent with a straight face than quarrel with him, which made him worried and frightened.

He was worried and frightened at that moment, anyway.

So, he finally pushed the wine aside, without any intention to drink again.
