There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia)

Ezra mentioned him to face up to him and it proved that whatever he said was not true. Ezra found him shut up and he just went offline.

He wasn't into social media like this. He would never want to update anything on it if he didn't have to defend Maisie. He didn't give a shit about how others talked about him but he just couldn't stand it when they defamed Maisie like that. He also knew the outside world had a stereotype that Maisie was the inferior one in their relationship because of the huge difference in their family backgrounds.

Ezra couldn't help self-mocking when thinking of it. How he wished it was true. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so inferior and humble like this now.

He really wanted to tell the netizens that actually he was the inferior one in their marriage!

Maisie sat on the couch at home with her lips pursed and said nothing after she read Ezra's update online

She knew he was defending her and protecting their marriage.

Somehow, she felt a bit narrow-minded when compared with Ezra.

Daisy came over to her with Ezio in her arms before she could think it over. Little Ezio was crying for her. In no time, Maisie abandoned the thought in her mind and held him into her arms. To be exact, she hadn't hugged Ezio well since last night.

She went home with Ezra last night and Ezio fell asleep with Daisy. She left in a hurry from Ezra's place this morning and went home without staying long. Little Ezio must have missed her.

With little Ezio in her arms, Maisie swore in her heart that she would never neglect him again for the unhappiness between Ezra and her.

The child was innocent. They just couldn't take him as a punching bag.

Then Maisie stayed with little Ezio for the whole night until he fell asleep. After that, she went to study and got back to the work she had brought back.

She had been used to a life routine like this. Since she had little Ezio, she had to finish the work that she brought home after he went to sleep.

She just got started and received a call from David.

"Dad just called me. He said mum didn't feel well and went to the hospital. I have to go back home." David said on the phone.

Susan had been detained in Grafstin for some time. It seemed that she had just arrived home.

Though Susan had disowned her, she was her biological mother. "What's wrong? Did she run the check-ups?" asked Maisie.

David just said helplessly on the phone, "Don't you know her? I've turned a deaf ear and blind eye to her recently. She is making a fuss to make me come home!"

"I've asked dad but he just gave me hem and haw. It proved she was making a fuss of it!"

In fact, David kept it from Maisie because he didn't want her to get pissed off as well.

Susan went home and cried her heart out in front of his father. She complained that David was an ungrateful child and that he even didn't care about her even though she had been put into jail. His father called him and reproached him. His father told him that as a son, he must be responsible for his parents.

David was so raged that he lost his temper and roared at his father, "So I must take care of it even if she commits a murder?"

David roared and hung up the phone directly. Then his father just called him to tell him that Susan fell ill in hospital. She must act out to protest against him.

Maisie was really pissed!

Susan just acted up in the middle of the night and requested David to return to his hometown from Riverside City. Wasn't she worried about his safety?

Why couldn't she just wait till the next morning?

Maisie was concerned about David, "Don't go tonight. You can wait till tomorrow."

Her parents didn't care about his safety, but she did!

Susan was really way out of line now. She kept saying she loved David very much. But how could she request him to go back to her for nothing serious in the middle of the night only because he didn't do anything when she was detained? Didn't she understand why David did that to her?

David wouldn't have been so heartless to her if she had acted a little bit more reasonably.

"I'll leave tonight." said David, sounding a bit angry, "I've had enough of it. I am going back to make it clear to her. If she keeps making much ado about nothing, I'll cut the relation with them, too."

also find that she has been acting so willingly and unreasonably because we've never said a thing to her no matter how far she has gone because she's our mother and we always respect her." "It seems we have spoiled her!"

"We have turned a blind eye to her, but she thinks she is right about everything!"

David said a lot in one breath. Obviously, he couldn't stand Susan anymore!

"Easy! Forget her now. Leave tomorrow. It'll be safer." said Maisie.

Maisie was worried about him but David insisted on leaving tonight. Then he hung up.

Maisie was freaked out and she couldn't focus on work. She knew David wouldn't listen to her once he got bullheaded.

In the moment of desperation, she called Ezra and told him briefly what had happened. Then she asked, "Can you come up with something to stop him?"

Unexpectedly, Ezra blurted out, "Sure!"

"You've come up with it so soon?" said Maisie, surprisingly.

"It might work. I'll call him and see." Ezra said it and hung up the phone.

Soon after that, Maisie received a text message from Ezra, "Done. He won't leave tonight. He'll leave tomorrow morning."

Maisie sighed with relief and got confused, "What did you tell him?"

Actually, Ezra didn't come up with any good idea. He just called David to tell him to listen to Maisie and not to make her worried.

He threatened David that if he didn't do as Maisie said, he would tell her that he had a crush on a girl.

David gave in immediately.

Ezra texted back, "We'll have dinner together tomorrow. I'll tell you the truth."

Maisie was lost for words.

What a cheeky chappy! He just took the credit and wanted to dine with her.

Maisie thought of the conversation with Emelia today and replied, "The paparazzi are following and taking photos of us now. We'd better not dine out. We'll have dinner at home tomorrow. I'll cook." Ezra wished for it! No dishes in the restaurants were as delicious as her cooking.

And he felt something. She seemed a bit nicer to him and she even agreed to cook for him. You know, she just kicked him out not long ago.

"OK. See you then," he answered without hesitation.
