Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 869 My Mother Wants to See You

Detecting his frustration, Maisie realized that she might have offended him in an obvious way. She tried to explain it. "I just wanted a simpler name for Ezio since he is a boy." Ezra didn't buy it, "Don't try to cover it with an excuse."

Ignoring his words, Maisie stood up and said, "I am going to check our son."

She left in a hurry after saying this. Pinching his forehead, Ezra was upset. It never occurred to him that one day a girl shunned him as if he were a monster.

Not until this moment did he begin to realize that the girl who used to love him so much has moved on.

David rang him when Maisie has just left. Clearly, he heard about today's marriage certificate.

Ezra knew that David would fire questions at him and he didn't have a good reason to refuse.

As he expected, David shouted at him the moment he picked up, "Ezra, what are you doing? Why did you get married to my sister?"

David was overwhelmed. His mother went so far as to hurt Ezio. And his sister unexpectedly married Ezra.

Ezra paused for a short while and answered calmly, "Because of love."

"I don't buy your garbage" he didn't save him any face. "How would a man like you know how to love a girl? You can guarantee that you love her till the end of your life?" "David." Ezra defended himself patiently, "People change as time goes by. All I want to do now was to be a responsible husband."

David replied to him with a sneer.

Ezra let out a deep sigh, complaining, "It was your sister who didn't want to take the responsibility. All she thinks about was divorce even before we got married"

"It might be hard for you to understand but the purpose of your sister agreeing to marry was to take revenge on Diana."

Ezra felt like he should get along well with David, his wife's brother, or at least eliminate David's prejudice against him so that someone could be on the same side with him when needed. Or else he really didn't know how to establish himself in this family.

Maisie kept him at a distance; David took him as an adversary; his son didn't quite fancy his company; Maisie's besties also got a bad impression of him. He was helplessly fighting alone.

David froze for a short while. He didn't foresee that his sister would treat Ezra in such an aloof and remote way.

David had the worry that Ezra would be in the dominating position of their relationship and that his sister might get hurt.

But it seemed that his worry was needless. He couldn't help gloating over his frustrated look.

Thinking of this, David delightfully said, "You can choose to decline if you think she is taking advantage of you"

Ezra groaned, "How can I say no to her?"

David grumbled, "Don't act as if it were a tough decision for you. I will spare no efforts in persuading my sister into leaving you once you are useless."

Ezra tried to nudge David with both reason and sincerity, "What about Ezio? Don't you want him to grow up in an intact family?"

David said self-mockingly, "I prefer Ezio to live in a loving family. And clearly, there was no love between you and my sister.'

Ezra felt desperate. He might as well let him go. "Whether you like it or not, I officially married your sister and I am your

brother-in-law."

David angrily replied. "No way!" And then he hung up the phone.

He wouldn't accept Ezra as a family member even though they got married.

Due to the laborious process in the morning, Ezio drank up his milk and exhaustedly fell asleep quickly after coming back home. In this case, Maisie couldn't replace an excuse to stay in the bedroom all day long. So she walked out reluctantly.

Maisie went straight to the kitchen cabinet and took out some coffee beans. She formed the habit of having a cup of coffee every day. She made one for Ezra since it wouldn't take much time.

They had their coffee in the living room peacefully. Weirdly Erza had a sense of happiness on this warm afternoon of the winter day.

But he had to break the atmosphere. He looked at Maisie and said, "There is...something I want to say to you'

"What?" Maisie asked after sipping at the coffee.

Ezra confessed, "My mother learned that I had a son and that I married you. She was thinking about flying back to see you and Ezio."

Maisie choked on the shocking news and had to cough for a while.

Ezra was a bit upset. How come she got so frightened about meeting his mother?

It took Maisie a while to comprehend the news. She asked him hurriedly, "Did you tell her the purpose of us getting married?"

Maisie didn't think her mother would like her once learning her intention of marrying him. Under no circumstance would a mother allow her son to get married for this illicit reason.

"I didn't. My mother was in poor health. Her body couldn't withstand astonishment of this kind." Ezra was a master of lying who was able to construct lies within seconds.

Actually, his mother was in perfectly good health. She was living a life of happiness and ease during these years. She achieved great success in moving up the career ladder and became a world-famous photographer who had worked with countless superstars.

Maisie must have heard her name - Nancy Wen.

His mother once took charge of cover pictures of several best-selling domestic and foreign magazines. Nancy Wen was her name as an artist. Her original name was Wenninger Brown.

But their relationship remained a secret from others. Even Diana and Roman didn't know that.

Diana would be envious of his mother and take measures against her once discovered her remarkable achievement. To elude unnecessary risks, Ezra decided to keep this secret.

Therefore, he hasn't referred to Nancy Wen's name to anyone except her closest friends.

His mother has never shown up on any public occasions, including award shows. Thus very few people knew that the world-class fashion photographer was actually a slim and understated woman, apart from those employees who worked with her.

Maisie was mad at Ezra for lying to his mother. But she couldn't blame him since he did this for his mother's sake.

It was just a fake marriage for her. Why bother meeting his mother?
