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

Sadly the reality didn't go as he wished. Maisie didn't say anything to comfort him but instead retreated.

Complicated feelings mixed inside him. Finally, he took a deep breath. He held her around the middle and walked towards his house. The driver instantly got Ezra's intention and left quickly.

Maisie was surprised by his sudden move and wriggled to get rid of him. "What are you doing?"

Ezra put him down but remained to hold her hands.

He answered, "I am not doing anything to you. I just want to say something to myself."

Maisie was at a loss what he was thinking about. He said, "I want to say to myself 'Ezra, where did you get the nerve to complain?""

"I am terribly sorry and I should not have done this."

"I will never do that again. Please don't go."

With a contrite look, the man was void of any discontent and apologized to her.

As a matter of face, Ezra couldn't be more regretful.

He made a fuss but ended up with nothing. And he still needed to apologize for it. Now he wished he could have been more composed. Maisie was amused by his quick yielding.

Ezra felt relief seeing that Maisie laughed. He held her tightly and said, "I will control myself and never lose my temper in front of you again." He had to admit that he was terrified of her leaving.

It would be so much better if she could stop being so rational and argue with him. She always made the decision in silent resolution.

An example was that she left Riverside City without hesitation when they broke up.

At that time he didn't know what to do about her departure. He couldn't believe it and was furious with her at the thought of her resenting staying in the same city with him once they were no longer together. Otherwise, there was no explanation for her leaving at that point in time.

They might meet each other soon again if she stayed in the city and he might realize the fact that he loved her earlier.

Her determined departure hurt his feelings, which was why he severed their ties at the time.

At this moment, he was alarmed at the prospect of her walking away without telling him, especially when she said that she wanted to get back to her home tonight. After all, it took him much effort to win her back. Sensing his subservient, Maisie's heart melted, and didn't want to be too cruel.

She looked at the man and said, "I gave you my word that I will be with you for the rest of my life. How can I say that if I don't love you?"

"But I just want to hear it," Ezra stressed. "It mattered to me."

Then he added, "But it is fine if you don't say it. As long as you stay with me."

Maisie grumbled, "Who says I don't love you?"

"I couldn't be sure if you chose to be with me for the sake of Ezio," Ezra murmured.

Staring at his gorgeous face, Maisie wrapped around his neck with her arm, which surprised Ezra.

She approached his lips and whispered, "I love you, Ezra."

She gazed at his eyes twinkling with pleasant surprise, and said word by word, "I loved you and I will always love you. My love towards you never faded, not even a tiny little bit."

Men were always like kids. His lacking of confidence prompted her to say her true feelings.

She wanted to put an end to such meaningless questions. So she acknowledged her love for him.

To make herself clearer, she kissed him.

This was by far the boldest thing that Maisie had ever done since they knew each other. He still reeled from the shock she brought to him and then there was a kiss on his lips. Ezra beamed with pleasure and kissed her back.

They were immersed in their conversation and also the kisses after getting off the car, thus forgetting the fact that they still stood outside the house.

And they didn't realize this until a car's headlight flashed at them at a distance. Thinking that someone might catch them kissing, Maisie covered her face with her hands in a hurry and ran towards the gate of the house.

Ezra followed her right away.

However, if things can go wrong, they will go wrong. Someone saw them kissing and posted it online. A picture of them kissing was trending after Maisie took her shower.

For one moment Maisie didn't know where to put herself. Any other woman would think it was bliss for her to marry a great guy like Ezra and couldn't wait to show affection in the public. But Maisie wasn't a normal woman and this picture becoming trending was akin to social death to her. The one who posted this picture wrote, "I accidentally saw this when I was about to come back home. Mr. Cantillo kissed his wife after tonight's drone formation."

This caused heated discussion online.

"I shipped this authentically married couple."

"Get a room."

"Did they like each other that much?"

And these were only part of the discussion. Maisie couldn't stand checking the remarks about them online anymore. At this time Ezra finished his shower and walked out. Maisie gritted her teeth, angrily saying, "Ezra, look what you just did!"

Ezra took her phone with a bewildered look. He defended after checking those remarks, "You sure it was me who kissed you first?"

Maisie kissed him first!

And Maisie realized it as well. She was speechless out of embarrassment.

Maisie threw a pillow at him and said, "You sleep in another bedroom tonight!"

She did kiss him first but that was for comforting him. Then he kissed her over and over again until others saw it. This was his fault.

On no account would Ezra settle for sleeping in a different with Maisie. He caught the pillow and lay on the bed. He shamelessly said, "Tonight I am not going to sleep alone."

Maisie was defeated by his shamelessness. Besides she didn't really mean to turn him away. She lay down.

Ezra approached her from behind and wrapped his arms around her. After a while, he gently called her name in his pleasant voice. "Maisie."

"What?" Maisie responded.

But he called her name again, "Maisie."

"What?" Maisie answered again.

"Nothing." He smiled. "I just wanted to call your name."

When you loved someone so much, it became bliss for you to call his or her name over and over again.
