Chapter 944

Maisie said, "Now. the point is you, not Ezra and me."

"He said that Shania will get engaged next month…" Maisie looked at David. She had no idea if he knew about it.

David looked down and murmured, "I know."

Maisie never expected that David would be dejected like this, so she got into a flap, "So?"

"So what?" David said self-deprecatingly, "So I can kidnap the bride? Who am I?"

At that moment, Maisie lost her words. As twins, she could deeply feel his despair which was like a flood hitting his heart. She felt so bad as well.

But she soon calmed down and said, "David, it's not like that. Regardless of your status, you should tell her your feeling instead of missing it for nothing at all."

"Well, I confess my love to her while she is about to get engaged. What is this? It is equivalent to sabotaging their relationship, isn't it?" David looked away. He could never do such a thing that destroyed his values.

Maisie hastily said, "Ezra told me that Shania seems not to love her fiancé. I guess maybe it's just a family-interest-based marriage. Or for reasons we can't even guess at."

If Shania truly loved her fiancé, Maisie would certainly not support David to confess his love. In this situation, it did belong to be an alienation of affection. But if she didn't, David could naturally fight for an opportunity before their engagement.

David roasted Ezra, "How does he know everything?"

"Stop roasting him and think about yourself." All Maisie wanted was to get down to brass tacks while David seemed to beat about the bush all the way.

Again, David had his eyes downcast and said, "Even if she doesn't love her fiancé, she may not still love me. In retrospect, what I said to her sounded terrible. It must break her heart."

David sounded depressed to death. In those days, because of his sense of inferiority, he just went to great lengths to push her away as that cheerful girl came close to him. He even said some terrible words to her.

Once and again, she must get a broken heart.

After graduation, he returned home without looking back. Then she didn't pester him anymore, and they just lost contact with each other.

Maisie said in earnest, "So you have to confess to her. You will never know how she feels if you don't do it."

"Just do it. If she doesn't like you anymore, at least you have no regret, do you?"

"Or you just have her in your heart forever, feel regretful forever, look at no one else forever, and live alone forever?"

"But even if I confess to her, and we are together, she will be frustrated by our family. Why should I let her suffer from these?" Every word David said was negative.

Actually, David was positive in daily life. However, when it came to love and marriage, he would be overwhelmed by negative emotions. It was totally because of their family where there was an unreasonable mother.

Formerly, Maisie didn't understand why David was so negative even though he had a crush on nobody. But now she got it. It was because he just loved the girl so much that he always thought about those bad things.

He feared that he couldn't give her a good life, having such an affluent girl suffer from the grievance with him that she had never experienced.

Maisie looked at him for quite a while, pursing her lips, and then sighed, "Do you know? I saw a shrink when I was at university."

David felt astonished, looking at her.

Maisie continued, "The psychiatrist told me that one could've kept away from such parents."

"It doesn't mean that we don't support them any longer, but that we should try to keep our distance from them which will otherwise cause more hurt to our physical and mental health.

"And I tell you the same. So, you can refuse to live with them after your marriage. Even if they need looking after someday, what you should care about, as a son, is only an alimony obligation. And if you are afraid that they may hurt your spouse, you can keep them apart."

"David, not everything is about morality. We don't have to burden such pressure."

"Besides, whether or not your partner will feel aggrieved from them, I think your attitude is important as well. They will be hesitant if you strongly protect and love her."

As Maisie was saying these words, David kept silent with his lips pursed.

Without further remarks, Maisie said to David softly, "I just want you to be happy."

"David, just like you care much about my happiness. Me too."

"OK…" David said nothing more and nor showed if he would confess to Shania.

Maisie didn't force him. It took time.

When it was almost time to get off work, Ezra sent a big gift box to Maisie. She opened it and found an evening gown with a set of expensive jewels.

Maisie knew that it should be Ezra who prepared them for her and the banquet, but she gave him a phone call and asked in confusion, "I have evening dress and jewels Why do you send me again?"

Last time, Ezra bought several full dresses which she had not yet worn. And the jewels were given by him and Nancy were in his villa

"The previous ones are out of date," the man said by phone.

Maisie was speechless.

He just bought them a few days ago. Were they out of date?

Maisie then added, "The jewelry set is too exaggerated though…"

Ezra replied, "Mrs. Cantillo, you are one of the protagonists tonight."

"Well." Maisie had to accept his arrangement because she remembered that the banquet was hosted by Canuli.

To a certain degree, Ezra's image was related to her attire as well.

"Go home first and dress up yourself. I will pick you up later." Ezra told her this, and she said yes to him.

Then the banquet was spectacular. But thankfully, Maisie had adapted to it.

But she never thought that Erika was present. Instinct told her that Erika must enter through unfair means. It was impossible for Ezra to invite the Marshalls on such an occasion.

Last time, he had broken with them and asked them to leave Riverside City. How could he invite them to the banquet?

Maisie saw Erika on the way to the washroom. There were two girls beside her. One was her lady friend whom Maisie had an impression on.

The other dressed in her finest attire, seemingly coming to attend the banquet.

Maisie thought back carefully and remembered that the latter girl was one of the boss's daughters. Apparently, Erika should get in here through this girl.
