Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 924 There Was Still Time

They left the graveyard. When they got into the car, Maisie asked Ezra in confusion, "Why do they have to leave Riverside?"

Ezra looked at her and said, "Or do you want Erika to piss you off every day?"

"You're right. I don't want to. But it is interesting to punish her and see her annoyed."

Erika was a stupid girl and was no match for Maisie.

Ezra said through laughter, "I don't realize that you are interested in it."

Maisie gave a little cough and said, "Maybe we all have such gratification when fighting back against the people who bullied us." Maisie had never bullied others, but she fought back against Erika's bullying hard. It was super cool, especially when Erica failed. Ezra added, "We should fight back harder in the future. After all, some people will never yield until they are defeated completely." Erika was the kind of person.

Maisie was perplexed, "Why does Erika not afraid that she will follow Diana and her two daughters' downfall? Mrs. Marshall is shrewd and she must stop Erika."

"I hope they have listened to my warning today," said Ezra.

People's unlimited greed would in turn devour them. Covertly, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall had got more than enough over these years. They should learn to stop and be satisfied with what they had got. Otherwise, Ezra would force them into returning all the gains.

All these things came to an end along with Roman's funeral.

After Ezra and Maisie arrived home, Nancy told them that she had to leave. Maisie was attached to Nancy, who was also sad about leaving. Nancy said, "I want to stay with you for another couple of days, but something comes up and I have to leave."

In Nancy's original plan, the return was a short trip. Now, she had finished all the things related to the Cantillo family and was delighted to see that Maisie and Ezra were not engaged in busy work all day. "When do you leave?" asked Ezra.

"Early tomorrow morning. I planned to take some photos for you three, but the plan failed because of all these unexpected matters," Nancy said regretfully.

These days, Maisie and Ezra had been busy dealing with Roman's burial, so, the shooting was delayed.

Although Ezra had no affection for his father, it did no good for his public image, if he took his wife, kid, and mother out for photography during such a period.

Maisie had Nancy's arm in hers and comforted her, "There's still time. We can take photos next time we meet."

Ezra, standing next to them, gave Maisie a melancholy glance. He wondered whether Maisie would still be Mrs. Cantillo the next time his mother returned home. Would he get the photos of the happy family? Ezra had been worried about these all these days.

Although Maisie had stayed with him and helped him deal with many things, he always had a sense of unreality and felt that Maisie would tell him that they should be parted from each other.

"It's a deal! We will get it next time." Nancy replied to Maisie and there seemed to be another meaning in her words.

Nancy went back to her room and packed up her luggage after they had settled down the time to leave.

When she was packing, Ezra knocked at the door and walked in. Nancy asked him with a smile, "Anything wrong?"

Ezra took a suitcase that had been packed up and pushed it aside.

Then he said, "Are you sure you don't want to come back and live with us?"

From Ezra's point of view, he hoped that Nancy could stay by his side. He was worried about her living alone abroad as his mother aged.

Nancy raised her eyebrows and asked, "Live with 'us'? It should be live with you only, right?"

Would he have a family when she returned to the country next time?

"What do you mean?" Ezra thought Maisie and he had given a vivid performance as a sweet couple and at least he was sincere about the relationship, so he did not think Nancy could tell something was wrong.

Seeing him pretend, as usual, Nancy said snappishly, "I mean, can you keep Maisie staying with you?"

Before Ezra could say something, Nancy added, "Don't think I can't tell that there's a problem between you two.

"Maisie does not want to marry you."

Nancy spoke of Ezra's secret and thus Ezra was speechless. He stared at his mother for a while and then sat on the bed dispiritedly.

"How did you know it?" This was an indirect admission that Nancy was right.

"My ESP," Nancy sighed, "I can sense that you love her but she's keeping something from you."

"Yes..." Ezra murmured.

Nancy sneered, "It serves you right. So why didn't you cherish her before?"

Nancy said in a harsh tone. Ezra murmured in depression, "Mrs. Wenninger, am I still your lovely son?"

Nancy replied, "Then why do you think I scold you?"

Ezra threw up his hands in surrender and said, "Don't scold me for that. I knew I was wrong."

He then guaranteed, "Don't worry about it. I assure you we'll be stable next time you are back. I mean it. I believe I will move her with my heart." "You'd better will." Nancy started to pack up another suitcase. "If you fail her again, no one will help you."

"I see," Ezra answered. "So, you have to consider whether to live in Riverside this time."

"Okay," Nancy promised. On second thought, she said, "I will live on my own when I'm back. I don't want to trouble you."

Maisie and Nancy would definitely get along well. However, it would be better if the mother left the newlyweds some space.

"No problem," Ezra replied without hesitation. "I know a villa nearby is on sale. I will buy it. Also, I'll redecorate it and air the rooms before your return."

Ezra respected his mother's opinion. He knew that Nancy was taking care of her relationship with Maisie. Maisie and Nancy were two important people in Ezra's life, and they could do whatever they wanted to get along well with each other.

However, Nancy was speechless about her son's decision, "I don't want to live in such a big house."

The neighborhood where Ezra lived was filled with villas with three floors. It was a waste for her to live in the villa alone.

Ezra had his own plan and he explained it to Nancy, "I'm thinking that you can transform the first floor into your studio. Above all, you live next to us. We can meet every day yet we don't disturb each other." Ezra's idea was persuasive and Nancy thought it was indeed awesome to transform the first floor into a studio.
