My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Ezra let out a sigh of relief, when he succeeded in getting the chance to go with Maisie.

Oops… He had almost been on the brick of losing it.

Maisie gave him a glance and found him sighing secretly. She thought it was funny but touching. If he had known the final result, why did he beg for comfort just then?

After thinking, Maisie apologized, “Sorry. I did have a bad attitude and tone to you just then.”

All at once, Ezra shook his head. “No. You are very good. I am to be blamed for it.”

Maisie was speechless. If only he could have such an attitude before.

She cupped his face by her hands and kissed him on the lips. “All right. Let’s go down. Otherwise, it’s too late to go to work.”

She was coaxing him. Indeed. And the two had reconciled. Ezra pressed her waist to his own body and kissed her many times. When he finally let go, Maisie was angry again.

But when they showed up on the first floor, they were sweet again in front of Daisy, the cook and others. After having breakfast, they said goodbye to Ezio and drove to work separately.

Not long after Maisie arrived at the office and sat down, David knocked at her door and walked in. Directly, he asked, “Have you squabbled with Ezra?”

A pause. Maisie did not deem the small talk in the morning as a squabble or quarrel, and then she denied, “Nope. Why?”

David raised his eyebrows and said, “He called me about the house then. And he complained on the phone that you spoke to him in a very bad tone. He sounded piteous.”

Maisie covered her forehand with her hands and found it throbbing, “What the hell does he want to do?”

David sneered, “I’ve seen through his mind. He plans to grumble to me before you do, implying that he is piteous. Then, gradually, I wouldn’t hate him that much.”

Hands down, Maisie commented, “He’s always idling and doing things like this.”

David smiled, “He failed to get any favors or support from me–I told him my sister is very gentle and she never talks to others in a bad manner. If she treats someone badly, it means that person drives her crazy.”

He implied that Ezra asked for it.

Maisie was speechless about David’s response. She asked, “You do want to fight against him, right?”

David sneered, “He tricks me. Always. And he complained about you to me. He deserves it!”

Maisie did not want to deal with David and Ezra’s relationship and waved her hand to signal David to leave. “Hurry back to your office and do your work. There must be a lot of things waiting for you.”

David took a few days off after the vacation in order to cope with his marriage with Shania and his family matters. Since now everything had been settled down, all David had to do was working hard to make money for his wife and future kids.

Although Shania did not have to use his money, he had to take good care of his new family–earning lots of money was always the right thing to do.

Until now, David and Maisie lived in peace finally. They had to work wholeheartedly for Julian Hughes and the Hughes Group.

David knew his tasks were heavy and turned around to walk out.

Before he went out of the office, he turned and looked at his sister and said thoughtfully, “Anyway, I wish you a happy life with Ezra. Sometimes, being harsh is necessary. But sometimes, you can restrain yourself from it.”

Then David walked out and receded, leaving Maisie sitting with a smile.

Obviously, David was in defense of Ezra, telling her not to be too harsh to Ezra.

Was she such an unreasonably mad woman in David’s heart?

But it also proved form another side that David started to acknowledge Ezra as his brother-in-law, or he would not talk for him.

Though he said he disliked Ezra, he had gradually changed his views of Ezra, indeed.

For Maisie, it was a good news. She understood no matter how they hated each other on the surface, they always did good for her. Ezra loved her. So did David.

After dinner, Maisie suddenly received a call from Anya in Ustistan.

Maisie answered the phone and Anya’s voice sounded strange. Anya asked Maisie in a low voice, “Is Ezra next to you?”

“Nope,” Maisie said, “He received a phone call just now and went upstairs to do his work.”

Anya breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “Find an absolutely quiet place. You can’t let Ezra know what we are talking about. I…”

Anya sighed, “I want to tell you something. It’s important.”

“OK,” replied Maisie, without hesitation. Then she put up her coat in the hallway and went out of the house with the phone in her hand.

Curious as she was, she knew Anya must have a reason to require so, and she did not ask it. After considering for a while, Maisie chose to say things outside, because Ezra would come to her whenever he finished his work.

It was nice to stroll along the path before the door and the sight was good to see whether Ezra was walking out of the house.

“I go outside. It’s safe. You can tell me,” said Maisie.

Anya was about to cry at the other end, murmured with chagrin, “It seems that I am pregnant…”

“What?” Maisie was so shocked that the phone nearly fell down.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Since then, Maisie had realized why Anya required her to find a place without Ezra. Her shout would surely attract Ezra’s attention.

“Phil and I, we, we…” Anya was too awkward to explain it. Then she spoke with a sudden determination, “The night before I left, he came to me. He was drunk and spoke badly. I was so furious that I decided to have goodbye sex with him. I thought it was the last time and we would never meet each other again afterwards. But–

“But I did not expect to be pregnant!” Anya, at the other end, told Maisie in great vexation, stamping her foot.

In the past four years since they fell in love, Phil had pestered her for having a baby. She did not want to. Sometimes, they guessed their contraception might have failed, but luckily, their guess was wrong each time. Who would know she could be pregnant this time?

It happened after she cut off all the ties with Phil by threatening him with her suicide!

Anya thought it was God’s punishment for her!

She had been in Ustistan for a long time. Her period did not come on time, and she did not care about it at first. She just thought it was an endocrine disorder in an unaccustomed climate. She waited and waited and waited. Her period still did not come. She almost died of fright at the possibility of pregnancy and bought a pregnancy test with worry.

The result was like a bolt from the blue.

Maisie froze in shock. She knew Phil had been craving for a baby over these years. Now Phil and Anya had divorced. And Anya was pregnant.

What a “surprise”!

God sent nuts to those who had no teeth!
