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

After Maisie and Ezra left, Tyrone couldn't contain his anger anymore and slapped Erika again, roaring, "This was your fault!" Not only was he deprived of the ten-million-worth house but also got humiliated by Ezra by referring to his wife's plenty of lovers.

Erika was vulnerable as a result of a series of slaps tonight. Now she directly passed out after another slap. Janie rushed to Erika. "Erika! Erika!"

She called the ambulance and shouted at Tyrone, "Are you crazy? Are you trying to beat her to death?" Tyrone didn't feel guilt at all. He said with resentment, "I would have beaten her to death if it were legal." "What would I do for such a useless daughter? Never achieve one thing and always ruin everything!"

"We should have had a peaceful life if it weren't for her to bother Ezra time after time."

Janie recalled what happened to them recently and had to admit Tyrone was right. Their plight originated from Erika's attempts to intrude on Ezra's life. She was vexed at Erika's stubbornness too. But now there was nothing she could do to change the situation. Janie held Erika who lost consciousness and cried.

The ambulance soon arrived and picked up Erika and Janie. Tyrone didn't join them and got back home in his car.

He didn't want to see Erika's face at all. He might probably continue to slap her if she woke up and made a scene again.

Erika's injury wasn't severe. She couldn't take the pain of being slapped so she passed out. She was free to go home after the doctor helped her clean the wound.

On their way back home, Janie seriously warned Erika, "We are packing our stuff tonight and leave. You stay away from Ezra and Maisie from now on!"

Unlike Diana who was unperceptive and intransigent, Janie was astute. She understood that things wouldn't end well for them if they lingered on the conflicts with Ezra, like what happened to Diana and her daughters. So she wisely chose to end this and walk away. More importantly, part of their property was illegal which couldn't stand up to closer scrutiny. She was determined to keep away from Ezra.

Erika burst into tears hearing that. But her face hurt once she moved a bit, which forced her to stop crying.

Erika was frightened that her father would beat her to death.

Maisie and Ezra were on the way back to Ezra's place. She asked Ezra in the car, "How did you know so much about Janie?"

"If you don't want people to know it, you'd better not do it." Last time when you came back to Riverside City for taking care of David and had conflicts with Janie and her daughter, Janie tried to harm you by using the deputy director's connection and was noticed by me." Ezra explained, "So I took the chance and dug her secrets out."

Janie whored herself out for the good lives their family had for all these years.

"The reasons for her to become my father's mistress were that she wanted to humiliate Diana and also attain some projects. As for the deputy director, she probably aimed at his political influence. And with the president was mostly for money." Maisie shrugged, "Well, she didn't waste any connection."

"Let's stop talking about her. I don't have much interest in her." Ezra changed the subject. He edged closer to Maisie and held her tightly.

He became more brazen ever since Maisie accepted him.

Maisie gave him a look, meaning that he needed to behave well when the driver was also there in the front seat driving.

Ezra put down the rear shield. Now the diver couldn't see what happened in the rear seats. Ezra unscrupulously held her tighter. Maisie tried to break away but failed.

She warned him out of kindness, "The more you do this, the more you get hurt when the things between us didn't work out one day."

Ezra was unhappy at hearing this, "Are you tired of me already? Why did you keep telling me that we might separate one day?"

Ezra hated that when she mentioned splitting and divorce. But it looked like Maisie was fine with breaking up with him, thus no worry in bringing this up.

Ezra highly suspected that her love for him dramatically decreased and part of the reason that she accepted him again was to take better care of Ezio.

Maisie didn't know how to answer that. Partly due to her personality, expressing her feeling was never for her. Even when they had the closest relationship, she didn't say the word "love".

At that time, she became his girlfriend solely because they had sex. Ezra didn't mention anything about love, let alone her.

"I just want to remind you. Don't attract others' attention again like tonight."

But Ezra fixed his eyes on her and asserted, "You don't love me anymore."

How come the man was so unreasonable?

Was it appropriate to talk about love all the time at their age?

"Ezra." Maisie intended to defend herself but Ezra interrupted her.

"Don't try to change the subject. You just need to answer yes or not. Do you love me?" Ezra was keen on getting the answer.

"How come you acted like a child?" Maisie doesn't know how to deal with him. She stayed away from him after saying this.

Why would she continue their marriage if she didn't love him?

Ezra was upset without hearing what he wanted. He compressed his lips and went silent. They didn't speak a word even when they arrived and the car stopped.

Maisie threw him a glance. She wondered if the man was angry.

Did he get mad because she didn't answer him explicitly?

Thinking of this, she turned around and talked to the driver who was about to drive away, "Wait a second."

The driver was confused. Ezra turned to look at her and frowned in puzzlement.

Maisie explained, "It seems that you are not in the mood. It may be better if I get back to my place tonight."

Ezra was dumb out of the spleen. Why couldn't she say something nice to please him when she sensed his dissatisfaction? She must know the reason why he was upset. But she chose to ignore it and walked away. She was heartless. One simple acknowledgment of love would light up his world. Why? Why didn't she say that? Come on!
