There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Chapter 926

Chapter 926

The dinner was quite eventful. Upon Maisie's arrival, the enthusiastic Steven wanted to give her a big hug and a kiss. Ezra, however, walked after Maisie and stopped Steven at once.

"Well, when you're in Rome, do as a Roman do. We don't do cheek kisses here." Ezra said to Steven unhappily.

Surprisingly, Steven replied, "Sorry, we used to greet like this when we were abroad."

He was angry about Steven's enthusiasm. But Ezra could not be defeated easily. He returned with his eyebrows raised, "Very good to hear that. But don't do it again."

Maisie did not want to see the barbs between Ezra and Steven, so she said to Steven, "Let's settle down."

Maisie was weary of it. She should not come with Ezra, despite his insistence.

Before they went out, she slapped some makeup on and did not ask Ezra to be out with her. She thought he'd better not come with her.

However, Ezra stood behind her and held Ezio in his arms. He complained to Ezio, "Your mom is going to dine with other men and she doesn't want to go with me."

Maisie remained silent, and she thought Ezio was too young to understand Ezra's words. That was true. Ezio did not react to Ezra's words but babbled and played with a toy in his arms.

Ezra then said to Ezio affectedly, "Your mom is going to have dinner with A NORMAL FRIEND. Then why does she do makeup?"

Maisie could not bear his complaints. She turned around, looked at Ezra, and said, "It is the most basic etiquette. I don't have a lot of makeup on. I just make everything simple."

Ezra then replied, "It is said that women are having makeup on for their beloved ones. If you don't love him, you will not prink yourself."

Maisie was rendered speechless. That she had makeup on did not mean she loved Steven.

Current makeup could change one's appearance completely. Every girl wanted to be pretty, so what was wrong to wear makeup? It was not for men at all; instead, it was to please her.

Normally, when women were being petulant, men could not stand it nor handle it. Now, Maisie found out that she could not stand a man being petulant, such as Ezra.

In order to stop Ezra's sarcasm behind her, Maisie said, "You go with me, OK?"

He would not think she was "prinking herself" if he went with her, wouldn't he?

In fact, Ezra had been waiting for her invitation. Although he had told David that he would go with Maisie in a very bossy way, he felt his attendance without Maisie's invitation would be less convincing.

In no time, he stood up with his son in his arms and said, "I'm gonna change my clothes."

Before they went out, Ezra saw her ring finger without a ring and went to the locker room. When Ezra came out, he was holding the diamond ring. "I don't think it's appropriate for you to dress up without any jewelry."

Maisie looked at the super glamorous gem on the ring and shook her head, frowning. "I don't wanna wear it. It was too expensive. What if I lose it?"

Ezra took her hand and put the ring on her finger. "It doesn't matter. It's yours."

Ezra insisted that Maisie should wear the ring, which indicated that Maisie had been married and also showed off his wealth which Steven could not compare with.

Since he had heard of Steven, Ezra checked him out immediately and he got to know that Steven and his family were prestigious overseas, but they were nowhere near enough to compete with Ezra.

However, Maisie took off the ring on second thought, in spite of Ezra's insistence. Maisie did not want to wear the showy ring in front of Steven, because she did not love to flaunt her wealth. Besides, the most important reason was that she had not decided how to get along with Ezra.

If she had to wear a ring, Maisie would choose the one she bought. Actually, she was not fond of wearing jewels, so she put the diamond ring back and ended up choosing nothing else.

Ezra went out with her in great disappointment.

When they sat down, Ezra placed Maisie between David and himself, without giving Steven a chance to sit next to Maisie.

However, he forgot that David was not on his side. When Maisie and Ezra sat down, David stood up and said to Steven, "Come here, sit by my sister's side. You haven't seen each other for many years, and you must sit here and have a talk."

Ezra squinted at David with anger, and David looked at him with an innocent smile.

Ezra sneered and sent a message to David on the phone.

"I've heard when you were studying abroad, there was a rich girl chasing you and you turned her down. Her name is, Shania Strickland?"

When David received the message, he glared at Ezra and tightened his lips.

Now, it was Ezra's turn to smile innocently. As he had scented that David was missing a girl, he had been thinking about it.

And he checked David when checking Steven. Ezra was not a reactive person; he took proactive action and found David's Achilles heel so as to force David to support him.

From David's reaction, Ezra was sure that Shania was the woman David was missing.

As a result, David did not try to get Maisie and Steven together during the whole dinner and he himself was dispirited, chugging his wine one after another.

Maisie asked him worriedly, "What happened?"

In her opinion, her brother was seldom demonstrative, not to mention being out of control.

David shook his head with a smile. "It's OK. I'm just super happy to meet Steven because we haven't seen each other for so long."

David was hiding his true feelings. Ezra gave him a glance and did not debunk his lie.

Finally, Ezra and Maisie went home and washed up. Ezra was drunk because he competed with Steven on how many glasses they could drink. Maisie was tipsy. Thus, when Ezra kissed her, she was quite sober.
