My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Maisie got dressed in advance for the evening party.

She chose a black velvet evening dress, which was simple but generous. Nancy looked at her and then shook her head, “It doesn’t fit you. It is not the right one to show your physical perfection.”

Maisie smiled and said, “Ezra bought it for me yesterday.”

In Maisie’s eyes, that dress was just OK. She used to attend parties with Julian, and she wore in this proper and decent way, too.

Nancy said with great dissatisfaction, “That guy! He bought such a conventional dress on purpose! He is worried that other men will enjoy your figure and beauty!”

Maisie said distrustfully, “Really?”

She thought Ezra was such a man. Was he so jealous and possessive about her?

Nancy said confidently, “Of course, a man’s possessiveness is much more bizarre than we think.”

Before Maisie could say anything, Nancy went upstairs with Maisie, arm-in-arm, and went on saying, “Come with me and let’s choose another one. Just to raise a few hackles of him.”

Her warmness made Maisie unable to refuse. Maisie went upstairs with her, reluctantly.

Nancy tried her best to persuade Maisie as they went upstairs, “We women should never compromise to please men. Show your beauty fully and entirely. Don’t wear that dress just because of Ezra.”

Then she added, “Only a high slit dress can fit your beautiful legs.”

Maisie didn’t know what to say, with a wry face.

She said to herself, “My dear aunt, I don’t want to wear any high slit dress or to prove my beauty at all. I just want to behave modestly and primly.”

Maisie hated to become the focus in public, and she really hoped there would be nobody noticing her. It was true that she had good shape, and if she really wore that high slit dress, Maisie would be the sharp focus without a doubt.

Now what she wanted was to lie low for a while, not too much attention.

Seeming to know what she was worried about, Nancy stopped, looked at her, and said seriously, “Maisie, although we get on with each other for only a few days, I’ve known you well. You like to lie low, right?”

“But what I want to tell you is you should try to keep a high profile and prove yourself if needed.”

“Some are dishing the dirt about you and Ezra on the Internet, so I suggest you get dressed for the party tonight and let them know you are not anybody.”

“Beautiful, slender, and elegant, you are a lady of wisdom and confidence. So why don’t you stand by Ezra glamorously and let those gossipers shut up?”

“It is not good for you to keep silent all the time.”

Nancy said every word from the bottom of her heart, which made Maisie move very much. She didn’t expect Nancy would be so considerate and well-intentioned. What Nancy did for her daughter-in-law was above a mother-in-law’s work.

She also admitted what Nancy said did make sense.

Whether she would get married to Ezra or not in the future, she shouldn’t keep silent and allow those gossipers to go on speaking ill of her.

She was supposed to fight for her reputation.

So, she nodded gently and said, “You are right. I will get dressed.”

Then she gave Nancy a big hug, “Thank you, Aunt Brown. You are so nice to me.”

Patting her shoulder, Nancy said softly, “I am also very grateful to you. You understood me, for you were not unhappy about my suggestion.”

Nancy liked Maisie more and more. Not every girl could be as sensible as her, especially when it came to the relationship between mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

She insisted Maisie should follow her ideas about the evening party, and she would be thought of as meddling if her daughter-in-law were not Maisie.

But Maisie could understand her, which made her satisfied.

Maybe it was because they both experienced a hard time, she sincerely hoped that Maisie could get better and better.

Whether Maisie and her son would get married or not in the future, Nancy hoped that Maisie could have a wonderful and comfortable life.

Nancy couldn’t stand those who spoke ill of Maisie on the internet. For a lady at her age who had met kinds of men and women and experienced a lot, she knew very well how excellent Maisie was.

As a girl, Maisie had made achievements in her work, which made her much more excellent than most people.

It was very probable that those who spoke ill of Maisie were not excellent. What they were good at was talking behind Maisie’s back. When compared with Maisie, they were nobody.

They returned to the dressing room on the third floor for the proper dress. Unfortunately, the dresses bought by Ezra were very conservative and ordinary. Nancy was unsatisfied.

“We still have time. Let’s go out and buy another one.” Nancy suggested.

Maisie hesitated, “These dresses are fine. Let me choose one.”

Maisie had never taken it seriously. She dressed in a simple but decent way in her daily life. And she only dressed herself to kill at Jean’s wedding, when all of them were wearing cheongsam. But it was Nina who suggested wearing cheongsams. She just followed them.

Nancy insisted, “Since you have decided to go to the party, just do your utmost. You must be the best one tonight.”

Nancy knew it was not easy for Maisie to make up her mind to strike back. She was always unaggressive. It was her words that made Maisie promise to dress up.

So, she would not let Maisie give up on such a small difficulty.

“That’s all right. “Maisie had no choice but to accept.

With Daisy taking care of the baby, they drove to buy a new dress.

Maisie finally selected a golden evening dress with the help of Nancy. With traces of black embroidery on it, the dress looked wonderful. Maisie had to admit Nancy’s good taste in clothing,Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

And what lit up the dress was not its color collocation, but the bareback design, which matched Maisie’s fair skin and delicate collar bones so well that Maisie looked very sexy and charming in it.

Maisie felt like a fish out of water, wearing the dress.

Besides, she felt that Ezra would object to her dressing up like that.

Standing in front of the mirror and taking her dress, she looked at herself again, saying, “I’m afraid Ezra may disagree…”

Nancy interrupted her, “Leave him alone. If he doesn’t agree, let him go to the party by himself.

It was out of Maisie’s expectations that Nancy would support her so much.
