SWNOVELS Chapter 925 Had to Move Out
"I assign the task to you," said Nancy.
"No problem," Ezra then asked her for advice, "Then will you design the studio by yourself? Or should I find a professional designer?"
"I'll do it by myself. I love designing and I want to plan my own studio."
"OK, it's not in a hurry. Take your time."
Nancy was pleased by Ezra's thoughtful suggestion. "Thank you."
She was longing to end her days in a foreign country and return to her homeland. She had been forced to go abroad and make a living with her own expertise. But inside, she was still missing her home and wanted to come back.
However, those guys she hated were keeping her away from Riverside. And now, some of them had died and others had been put in prison. She could come back with relief.
Ezra and Maisie treated Nancy to dinner in the evening and sent her to the airport the next morning. To Maisie's surprise, she turned out to be the one who could not drag herself away from Nancy.
Maisie's eyes were red when she watched Nancy's receding figure at the security check.
Maisie was comfortable and happy when she was with Nancy these days. She felt that she was cared for and loved by an elder relative. Perhaps she was too lacking in maternal love; thus, Nancy's kindness triggered the emotional wave inside Maisie. Ezra saw her sadness due to Nancy's departure and he was delighted. Anyway, Maisie's good relationship with his mother was to his benefit to some extent.
If they did not get along well, she would just dump him right away.
Ezra comforted her in a gentle tone, "When she finishes her work abroad, she will be back."
Last night, he told Maisie that he would buy the villa next to his for Nancy, and Maisie thought it was a good idea.
"She's also your mom, remember?" Ezra continued, "You can share my mother and my money if you want."
"Anything wrong with you?" Maisie said and left. It was true that she was a little bit sad, but Ezra smoothed her sadness away.
Ezra chuckled and followed her. They went side by side to the parking lot.
Because of the wound on Ezra's arm, Maisie, instead, drove the car. As a matter of fact, the wound almost healed, but Ezra made use of it to pretend to be weak. As for Maisie, she just passed over his little trick. When they were just on the way home, David called Maisie.
Instinctively, Ezra thought it would not be a call with good news. Plus, it was inconvenient for Maisie to hold the phone when she was driving. Therefore, Ezra took the initiative to hold it. He said, "Let me help you hold the phone." Easy held the phone and put David on the speakerphone. David said on the phone, "Maisie, do you have time tonight?"
"Yes, what's up?" Maisie answered.
With everything settled down now, Maisie had some spare time finally.
David said with laughter, "Have dinner tonight. Steven is here."
"Steven?" Maisie was surprised. "Didn't you say he wasn't coming?"
Last time, David told her that Steven would have come this weekend. However, Diana Rhodes went mad and injured Ezra, and then Roman passed away. Maisie was thus not in the mood to care about Steven's visit. The truth was she would have had no time to serve Steven, even though he came at that time. Later, she thought David was just making a joke to elicit feelings of Ezra's envy. But she was wrong. Steven was in the town. Ezra got to know what David said on the phone. He knew David planned it deliberately. So did Steven. Otherwise, they would not change the visit time from that busy weekend to today, just in step with Maisie's spare time. Ezra thought David was troubling him on purpose with Steven. He warned David, "David, don't favor others. Anyway, I am your brother-in-law now."
David was deliberately obtuse and said, "Oh, Mr. Cantillo is at your side. I'm sorry to bother you."
Ezra agreed on Maisie's behalf, "Maisie and I will go to dinner."
Maisie looked at him, frowning. Ezra wanted to go with her last time, and now, he still insisted on it.
David, at the other end, objected, "Why are you coming? None of us are your friends."
"It doesn't matter. Your sister knows me. See you later." When Ezra finished his words, he hung up the phone before David wanted to say something else-Ezra made up his mind to have dinner with them. Maisie thought for a while and said, "I just want to treat him a dinner as a host."
Ezra did not say anything. Now he was more and more certain that David was deliberately making trouble for him by finding Steven.
Maisie and Ezra did not talk about it afterward. When they were into the urban area, Maisie said to Ezra, "I'll go to my home later, so I'll drive you home first."
Ezra was leaning back in the seat. Upon hearing that Maisie wanted to go back to her home, Ezra sat up straight immediately and gazed at Maisie warily, "What are you going to do?"
Ezra was now worried about Maisie's move; after all, his mother had left the country, and there was no need for them to live together and act as a couple.
"To get some documents," replied Maisie.
Maisie had arranged with Julian that she would go back to the Hughes Group to work after she finished all the stuff. Many related work materials were in her home and she had to get and go through them. Also, Maisie had thought about moving out. Thus, she planned to clean up her home when she went back to get the materials.
But Maisie could tell from Ezra's expression that he would not agree with her plan.
At once, Ezra suggested, "I will go with you, and we'll go back together after you get them."
Ezra remained resolute. Maisie could only agree with his suggestion and drove her home with him. Well, she could not move out today and it was better to get those materials first.
To Maisie's great surprise, she had to move out of Ezra's house urgently after tonight. Changes always go beyond plans.
The problem was due to dinner with David and Steven, both Maisie and Ezra fell tipsy after drinking a little wine, and now, they were used to staying in one room. As they went home, they kissed subconsciously.
