Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart -
Chapter 868 He Fell in Love
Ezra particularly required Maisie to drive on the way back.
Maisie was puzzled as to why she should drive while Ezra was the driver before.
But she wasn't a curious person. She picked up the car keys and sat down in the driver's seat.
Maisie thought she could finally take a rest after reaching home and Daisy taking Ezio to have milk. However, tons of messages hit her as she checked her phone.
The messages were all from Emelia, Nina, and Jean talking about her marriage.
Emelia showed them a screenshot in the group chat, which was about Ezra posting a picture of their marriage certificate.
Now Maisie knew what Ezra was doing in the car. He was taking a picture of the marriage certificate and posted it to announce the
news.
To prevent them from worrying, Maisie hadn't informed them that Diana incited her mother to snatch Ezio and caused a wound on Ezio's forehead.
Therefore they didn't know the purpose of this marriage was to take revenge on Diana. Maisie's original plan was to tell them when she got the chance to do so. But now they knew it.
Maisie fixed Ezra with an angry stare, who was now standing next to the window and busy responding to the messages.
He should be blamed for the entire news leak.
The pictures he posted immediately led to ceaseless calls and texts.
Ezra didn't answer the calls or messages, except those from close friends like Julian.
Julian was the first to ask him in the group chat, "Whom did you marry?"
Ezra just took a picture of the cover of the certificate. He didn't post their names on Maisie's account. So no one knew whom did Ezra marry.
Besides, Ezra didn't send a signal about getting married before. No wonder everybody was surprised to hear that.
Phil was franker. "Was it fake?"
Ezra answered with anger, "Can you say something nice to me?"
How would he lie about marriage?
Phil defended, "I just don't think you are ready for marrying. You claimed yourself as a confirmed bachelor. Becoming a husband must be very difficult for you. We'd rather you joke on this than seriously undergo these pains."
Ezra had to acknowledge that what he said was irrefutable.
Eloquent and logical, Phil lived up to his fucking reputation.
Julian asked another question, "Please don't tell me it was Maisie."
Ezra replied, "Yes."
Fearing Julian might have problems with that, he added hastily, "Maisie suggested it."
Based on Julian's knowledge, Ezra offered to marry Maisie when he knew the existence of Ezio but immediately got declined. How would Maisie come around?
They went silent after Ezra told them about how Diana enticed Susan into hurting Ezio.
What Diana has done to Ezra during these years was well known to them. But getting kids involved was definitely
unacceptable.
But today they had no intention of criticizing Diana. Julian paused for a while and then said, "You may want to reconsider marrying."
Ezra was not born to be a husband.
"Lam clear what I was doing." Ezra quickly gave his answer.
He might not have deliberated on marriage in his first proposal but this time he couldn't be more serious about marrying Maisie.
He resignedly admitted that he fell in love with Maisie.
He had a crush on the girl whom he once broke up with. Currently, he willingly got hitched with her. But their position reversed and Maisie became reluctant. Sensing the firmness of Ezra, they gave up the attempt of persuading him.
Maisie told them in the group chat the whole story, including how her mother caused the wound on Ezio's forehead and how she married Ezra for revenge.
It took them a while to digest the news. In their opinions, Maisie was a calm and rational person who wouldn't do such a reckless thing.
But her decision was understandable. After all, Ezio was the line that couldn't be crossed for Maisie. What Diana did to Ezio was unforgivable. Emelia had her own baby so she felt the same pains and anger as Maisie did, especially when learning about the long cut on Ezio's forehead.
They comforted Maisie for a while. Maisie was touched by their support, saying, "Thank you. Let's hang out a few days later when I am back in Riverside City." "Tell me when you decide the time. I can take a day off."
Nina presently was a member of the director crew in Austin's high-budget film. She was surprisingly more occupied now than the time she hasn't gotten married.
Nina was selected by Austin for her excellent English, which once was the top trending topic. She now was away in aforeign country for shootings.
Maisie stopped her immediately, "Please don't do this. It was too much trouble if you fly back specifically for me"
Nina sighed, "That's fine because I also had the plan to come back for meeting Cameron. He would probably get mad if I stayed here any longer and didn't take some time for him."
Cameron was considering putting down all his work and flying overseas with Nina but unfortunately got stuck by a sudden change in the schedule when they were about to set out. The result was that they had to temporarily endure the long-distance love.
And this was torturing Cameron.
Therefore, Nina planned to go back to Riverside City to meet Maisie and also spend some time with Cameron.
Maisie could almost imagine the upset look of Cameron who was murmuring about Nina's absence. She readily consented with a smile, "OK. See you a couple of days later."
When Maisie was at the end of the conversation with her besties, Ezra also finished his. Their gaze met when Maisie looked up.
For no reason, Maisie suddenly felt ill at ease.
She looked down and disguised her abnormal reaction with the phone.
Even when Ezra came up to her and sat down in the chair nearby, she moved a bit to keep her distance from him.
Apparently, Maisie instinctively loathed Ezra's approach.
Ezra noticed her remoteness, but there was nothing he could do in the present. The more he pushed her to love him, the more she stayed away from him.
Ezra put this behind him and changed the subject, "You got any idea in Ezio's name if we switched his family name back to Cantillo?"
At the request of Roman, Ezio's family name should be changed if he was to return to his father's family. Ezra repeatedly reminded her and she agreed.
But Ezio should have a new first name if his original family name shifted.
"I haven't got any idea." Maisie shook her head.
She didn't have a particular idea about Ezio's new name.
Ezra responded, "I have a plan, what about Benedict Cantillo? It implies good wishes to the kid.
"Or Ezis, the blending form of our names."
Maisie disapproved immediately after Ezra said this. "Benedict is fine.
Name Ezio after his parents' names? That was too intimate and unnecessary.
Ezra was speechless.
She instantly rejected everything that was relevant to him. How come she resented him like this?
