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

Maisie asked him in amazement, "What do you mean?"

Ezra explained, "I mean that she may get engaged for another reason. From what I know, Shania should have no feeling for her fiancé."

Maisie sighed with relief but then felt worried again, "Now, the point is how David thinks about it. He may not listen to me and open up to her."

Ezra just said, "If he treats her engagement casually, it represents he doesn't love her that much. Just live their own lives."

Maisie nodded, "Sure."

She should hurry to talk with David after he came back, to learn what he thought about it.

After dinner, Ezra played with his son for a while. They now got along well with each other. As soon as he saw Ezra, he would run into his arms. If Ezra played with him, a happy boy was there who giggled all the time. And the house was suffused with cheer. As Ezra felt tired, he gave his son a toy and had him enjoy himself. Then he came close to Maisie on the couch and asked, "He loves laughing so much. From whom does he inherit?"

Maisie also had no idea. Both she and Ezra were not that fun-loving sort of person. How could they have such a child who laughed so much?

As they saw the little guy chortle, they just thought that all the unhappiness was dispelled.

Ezra stared at her side face and said gently, "He must receive a good prenatal education when you were pregnant, thereby feeling happy all day long like this."

They had a good son, and he gave all the credit for her.

Maisie just felt a bit shy due to his words, "Some temperaments are innate. He has good genes."

For sure, Ezra deserved credit for Ezio's good temperament. Perhaps God took pity on her who had experienced so many hardships, so it gave her such an angelic child. What Maisie said could be considered to pay Ezra a compliment. Then she looked away bashfully while Ezra just looked at her and chuckled.

He was delighted to get her nod, and he came closer to her.

Maisie looked at him without saying a word. She had been backed to the edge of the couch. What was he trying to do?

She said to him ungraciously, "You wanna sit on my lap?"

Ezra had nothing to reply to.

Was there any guy sitting on a woman's lap?

He "snorted", "You should sit on my lap, shouldn't you?"

Maisie stoop up directly and "chucked" someone out in passing, "You gotta leave."

Naturally, he was reluctant, but he knew that he couldn't stay here cheekily. Therefore, he just rose to take leave, unwillingly.

Seeing that Ezra was about to go, the boy crawled rapidly to him and hung on to his legs. It was obvious that he didn't want Ezra to go.

Ezra picked him up and held him in his arms, coaxing, "See you tomorrow, son."

But Ezio just simply hugged him tight and protested by babbling.

"Or... let's go together? Leave your mom alone and have her rest." Ezra just said that as a joke at the very beginning, but after that, he thought it a great idea.

If Ezio went with him, Maisie would definitely be worried about him and probably take initiative to be with them.

But that would never happen. Maisie just picked their son in her arms and tell him, "You cannot take good care of him by yourself."

By implication, she was telling him that he had no way to be with their son alone.

It was not easy to look after a child, especially a baby. One should pay much attention to all his daily living activities, which Ezra could certainly not make it.

Ezra was frustrated and about to leave alone resignedly. However, in the hallway, Ezra added, "There will be a banquet tomorrow night..."

Maisie interrupted him before he finished, "Ezra, you do it on purpose?"

He attended so many banquets and insisted on her going with him.

To outsiders, they were still a couple. Although Maisie was photographed moving out, he had explained that they were just in a miff yesterday, not mentioning divorcing. Basically, the banquet at the end of the year was large-scale. And generally, guests should be present with their family members. It was not proper if she didn't attend. But if she attended, she would be bound up with him anew.

Ezra explained, "It is hosted by the Canuli which is an annual appreciation banquet. As the host, I have to attend."

It meant that she, as the hostess, also had to.

Maisie had no choice but to say, "Well."

Saying goodbye to Maisie and their son, Ezra left then. But he didn't waste time. After getting in the car, he started making calls.

As the banquet was hosted by the Canuli, he was in a favorite situation that he intended to plan a romantic ceremony during the banquet, confessing his love to Maisie.

Although almost all the people in Riverside City knew their relationship, he hoped he could express his affection for her more clearly.

Now that he loved her heart and soul, then he would not grudge showing his love to her.

At present, he could feel that Maisie's attitude towards him changed. Hence, he should seize the momentum and capture her heart thoroughly.

Certainly, Maisie didn't know these at all. All she could think of was David.

David returned to Riverside City at night, and he went to the Hughes Group the next morning. Maisie was worried sick.

"How are you feeling?" Maisie cared about his physical condition at once as she saw him.

David comforted her, "I'm good. Don't worry."

Yesterday, he went for his mom after he was discharged from the hospital. Decisively, he told her that he would no longer care about them if she still made a fuss unreasonably in the future. In the ward, Susan "convulsed" and became "breathless" due to rage, but he just turned to leave.

He had seen through her tricks and set aside them.

"Let's talk at lunch." They were busy now. Therefore, Maisie asked David to have lunch together, and he said yes quickly.

However, while Maisie mentioned Shania to David, he almost screamed, "Wait, is it Ezra who told you that?"

Maisie nodded.

"Treacherous!" David cursed Ezra.

Ezra promised to keep the secret for him, but he finally told his sister.

Maisie conciliates him, "Don't say that. What he did is for your own good."

David just looked at his sister speechlessly. She actually put in a good word for Ezra, didn't she? For his own good? He only thought that Ezra was obviously a man who thrived on chaos.

It must be because he told Steven to come to Riverside City which upset Ezra who now took revenge on David.

What was more, the relationship between Maise and Ezra became more harmonious. David had no idea whether he should be happy or sad.
