Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart -
Chapter 904 The Best Choice
Ezra felt much better thanks to Maisie.
He said genuinely, "Thank you, Maisie."
"You should sleep in the bed."
He did not speak. As a man, how could he let a woman sleep on a couch?
Maisie sensed he was keen on his decision, so she simply dropped the subject. As her son was babbling for no one was playing with him, she walked in his direction, held him in her arms, and was about to go downstairs.
Ezra took the little guy over like he ought to do that, and they went down together.
He said to the little boy, "Your mom's magnificent now. She can even do massage. No wonder she's increasingly disdaining me."
Maisie could not help interjecting, "Oh, shut up."
What was the bull shitting? Did she disdain him?
Ezra did as she told, while the corner of his mouth curved upward, which indicated he was in a good mood.
Maisie's other emotions, except coolness, could always delight him. They made him feel like she was not so ruthless toward him.
When they were downstairs, the breakfast was already done, which, according to Daisy, was all prepared by Nancy.
Maisie felt she shouldn't have let her guest do that, but Nancy smiled, "At this age, one tends to get up really early. So I made some simple breakfast."
Though she said simple, the dishes on the table were nothing simple.
Nancy changed the subject and asked Ezra, "Were you howling upstairs?"
Ezra explained, "Maisie was giving me rubbing."
"That's a good thing. I thought someone was slaughtering pigs." Nancy commented.
Ezra had once heard Arthur complaining about his mother. Arthur said he felt he was not her real son because his mother was so nice to Jean. She would agree with everything Jean said. And as for Arthur, even his breathing was wrong.
Now Ezra felt exactly what Arthur had felt. But, despite the fact that his mother was taking Maisie's side, his heart was as sweet as honey.
It was just like the smiley face Arthur had every time he complained.
While they were having breakfast, Nancy asked, "What are you guys going to do today?"
Ezra said, "I'm going to the Canuli."
Maisie let out a long relieving sigh. Finally. She had this idea that Ezra should go to the company for a long time. Ever since he knew the existence of his son, Ezra went to Grafstin. Though he went to deal with the suicide incident of the manager for some time, he went back to Grafstin again to spend time with her and his son.
In spite of the fact that he was working remotely on his phone and computer, Maisie still worried something bad might happen if he was absent from the company for too long a time.
But now that Mrs. Cantillo was not here, and Ruth was in a mess, they probably would not have time to make any trouble for him. Besides, Roman had made a public statement. Everyone in Canuli should admit Ezra now.
Maisie had once heard Julian say that in fact, most people in Canuli supported Ezra. After all, it was Ezra who led the company forward. As a member of the company, of course, they hoped Canuli well. Though, a small portion was on Mrs. Cantillo's side. They wavered over which side to support, and in case Ruth should take over the company, they teamed with her and Mrs. Cantillo. On the surface, they dared not to go against Ezra, but secretly, they had done foul things.
Now that everything was settled, it was time for Ezra to deal with them.
And another reason why Maisie wanted Ezra to go to the company was that she wanted Ezra away from her. Maisie felt uncomfortable, especially when she needed to act intimately with him before Nancy. Ezra gave her a cold glimpse and understood immediately what was in her mind.
Maisie, however, averted her eyes to her son, ignoring the warning in his eyes.
Nancy said, "Okay, you do your business. We will stay home to study which place should we go to take photos this season."
Both Maisie and Ezra did not protest. After breakfast, they parted to do their own businesses.
Nancy liked her grandson very much and went to the toy room with Daisy to take photos of him.
Ezra changed his clothes and was about to go out when Maisie asked him, "Has Nancy asked why I don't go to work and stay at home all the time?"
Maisie had resigned from the job in Grafstin so that she could go abroad later, and now, she was staying at home. But since they could not tell Nancy now that she was going abroad, Maisie was a bit worried about her noticing it.
"No." Ezra comforted her, "Don't worry. My mother won't probe into other's life. If these things bother you, she won't ask."
Ezra even doubted whether his mother had sensed something wrong between him and Maisie, and pretended to know nothing so that their little secret would remain safe.
"That's nice." Said Maisie.
Ezra, with one hand in his pocket, smiled and stared at the woman, "Mrs. Cantillo, are you going to kiss me goodbye?"
Maisie wondered what on earth was in his mind?
She glared at him and said, "Mr. Cantillo, mind your words."
She was about to turn around when Ezra clasped her wrist and turned her back. She looked at the hand on her wrist, which gradually loosened in a reluctant manner.
He hastened to ask her, genuinely, "Don't you want to stay here?"
"Maisie, that woman is in jail because of her own faults now. There's no danger for you and Ezio to stay here."
"You wanted to go abroad to avoid the potential threats from her, didn't you?"
Maisie admitted her feelings grew complicated.
It was true that she wanted to go abroad in case any harm should happen to her son when Mrs. Cantillo was in her crazy battle for inheritance. Maisie thought if she could not face it directly, it would be better for her to run away from it.
"Though you don't want me here, if you and Ezio stay in Riverside, he can always see his father. Besides, your best friend Emilia is here. David is here. The most important people in your life are here. Why must you go?"
"Julian said he would save the position for you. As long as you want, you can still be his assistant. You have your career, friends, and family here. Aren't all those things better than going abroad?" The tone he was saying was nothing but sincere and considerate.
Ezra had to admit that personally, he had his own intention in persuading her to stay, but he believed anyone would agree that this was the best choice for her.
