SWNOVELS Chapter 947 To My Place
Maisie didn't cover it and told the whole story to Ezra, including how Erika tried to pick a fight with her.
Ezra was disturbed by it, "She was risking her neck!"
Before Maisie could say anything, he took out his phone and called his assistant. On the phone, Ezra asked his assistant to send the evidence they collected earlier to Phil and prepared to sue Janie and Tyrone, both Erika's parents. The evidence was mostly about finance. Seemingly Ezra aimed to force Janie and Tyrone to hand over all the bribes they have taken during these years.
Janie and Tyrone must piss off. But what could they do with such a troublesome daughter?
Ezra managed to calm himself down after organizing everything.
Notwithstanding little success of Erika's plot and smart retaliation of Maisie, Ezra was still angry. He had no patience with people who were a nuisance to Maisie, Erika especially.
"Thank you...for what you did tonight." Maisie was eager to distract him. Erika didn't worth such attention. After all, Erika gained nothing from tonight's incident.
And she added, "But please don't do this again."
Ezra went silent.
Maisie explained, "I am not used to becoming the center of the spotlight."
Ezra compressed his lips and was keen on it. "I must let everyone know how much I love you so that they can stop coming at you."
Before tonight's drone formation, Julian warned him that Maisie wasn't a fan of gaining so much attention and that this ostentatious approach might not please her.
Ezra couldn't be clearer about her personality. For all that, he insisted, because he wanted everyone to know his feelings towards Maisie and a grand acknowledgment was the best way.
Surely he pondered about it. That was why the final picture the drones showed was their family picture, which could surely impress Maisie.
Hearing how much Ezra wanted to get everybody to know Maisie said, "I never knew you are such a childish person."
Ezra cornered her and asked, "What does that mean?"
Maisie illustrated, "Happiness and love are like drinking water. You are the only one who knows the temperature. We don't need to declare it." "Nothing they said should ever affect us."
Ezra had to acknowledge that she had a point.
He looked at her and asked in a low voice, "Then do you feel happy now?"
Ezra's heart raced after asking this. He was frightened that he might get a negative answer, which denied all his efforts during these days. Luckily Maisie answered him with a smile, "I think I am quite happy now."
After communicating with Emelia the other day, Maisie became more open with herself and also Ezra. She was able to quit evading Ezra. Actually, Maisie was done with running away from happiness for the rest of her life.
She continued, "I will be with you for the rest of my life, on the ground that you want that too."
Ezra was both delighted and a bit mad at hearing this. He held her and said, "There is no 'if'. I can't wait to spend my whole life with you."
But Maisie was rational, "I can't make sure whether you made this decision out of sudden urge or out of a clear mind.
Ezra gritted his teeth and felt aggrieved, "A sudden urge at my age?
Maisie wanted to say something but Ezra didn't give her the opportunity. He kissed her on the lips.
The guests were busying drinking and toasting each other and inside the room, they were tied up with kissing.
"Tonight goes to my place," Ezra said to her after the kiss.
Maisie was a bit awkward, "I got my period."
She knew quite well the purpose of Ezra.
Ezra was upset. "Did you lie to me?"
Maisie shrugged, "Why would I lie to you on this?"
Ezra was about to lose control, both physically and mentally.
He stopped Maisie and requested, "You still go to my place. Ever since we are together again, Ezio was always in the middle and we never spend the time alone."
And this was true. Their reunions were mostly for Ezio's sake. During these days their lives centered on Ezio and Ezio even slept in the same bed with them.
At the thought of this, Ezra was more dissatisfied. "You never actually spend time with me."
Maisie had no choice but to agree, "OK. I will call Daisy and tell her this."
The party would end late at night. Ezio must have fallen into sleep after she got home. It wasn't a bad idea to go to Ezra's place.
She didn't refuse to go to his place, which meant that they were totally reconciled.
Out of joy, Ezra held her again and kissed her. After a while, they both went out of breath. Finally, Maisie pushed him away.
There were guests outside. How were they going to face the guests with this look?
"You adjust yourself. I am going to reapply the makeup." She grabbed her purse and went to the dressing room nearby.
It was very late when they saw the last guest out.
Someone called them when they were about to get in the car. It was Tyrone. "Hold on! Mr. Cantillo."
Ezra and Maisie turned to look at the person who called his name. Tyrone, Janie, and Erika whose face was swollen came up to them.
Ezra helped her adjust her clothes and said, "It is cold outside. You get in the car first and wait for me."
It was a simple act of no importance but she was still deeply moved.
She shook her head and said, "That is fine. I want to be with you."
She had confidence in Ezra's ability to handle them swiftly. But she still couldn't guarantee that Ezra would be fine confronting them alone. Who would know what a cornered beast will do?
At the request of Maisie, Ezra didn't persist.
He looked at Tyrone with a sneer.
Clearly, they learned the accusation against them and came to this place even at such late night. They understood that if they didn't make it to meet Ezra and Maisie tonight, Ezra wouldn't give them the chance to talk hereafter. Tyrone said, "Mr. Cantillo, Mrs. Cantillo. I know that Erika made another mistake tonight. I apologized for what she has done. Please show us some mercy and forgive her for this time."
Janie next to him shed tears and said, "We have punished her. She will never do that again. Mr. Cantillo, would you please drop the charges?"
