Chapter 933 Always Respect You
Maisie thought Ezra was out of his mind. Did he think he could do whatever he wanted to her since they had sex last night?
She thought of it and felt deeply wronged that Ezra showed no respect to her. Her eyes went red in a flash and gave up pushing him away.
She just stopped struggling since he was disrespectful to her.
Realizing her unusual reaction, Ezra let go of her instantly and asked her softly, “What’s wrong?”
“Do you think you can do whatever you want to me since we had sex last night? Do you think you can kiss me or hug me any time you want and you don’t have to care about my feelings or self-esteem?” sneered Maisie.
“No, I don’t.” Ezra realized she was mad, “I didn’t mean to insult you or disrespect you. I have been in a sulk for a whole day and I really have to take it out.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I miss you a lot, and I want you.”
Ezra said it from his heart. He seemed to be in a good mood today but in fact, he was almost freaked out when he got to know that Maisie had run away from him this morning.
He had held the anger back for the whole day and now he followed her home shamelessly. But she just kept telling him they must keep away from each other or anything annoying like that. He just wanted to kiss her and shut her up.
“I’ll leave right away if you don’t want to see me,” Ezra said and pulled the door open to go out. And Maisie just leaned against the wall, saying nothing.
Ezra went out of the study and saw Daisy playing with little Ezio in the living room.
Little Ezio was really happy to see him again since they hadn’t seen him for the whole day. “Daddy! Daddy!” he cried out and wanted Ezra to hold him in his arms.
Little Ezio had been living with him these days and he was totally used to seeing him around. Ezra hadn’t been there for him for the first eight months of his life but they had made it up and fixed it already. Little Ezio was very close to him and dependent on him now.
Ezra held him in his arms and said kinda gloomily, “Little buddy, daddy has something to do today. I have to leave soon.”
Ezra said it and gave a kiss on his chubby face. Little Ezio realized he was leaving and stopped him by seizing his buttons and kicking his legs.
Ezra felt happy and bitter at the same time. He was happy that little Ezio was close to him now and he even didn’t want him to leave. He felt bitter in his heart that he still had to leave even though little Ezio didn’t want him to, and he would surely upset him.
But what else could he do? Maisie just didn’t want him to stay.
“Sorry, little buddy. I have to. Your mother is really hard-hearted. She just can’t wait to kick me out of the house.”
Ezra complained lightly to little Ezio in his arms. He thought Maisie wouldn’t come out of the study until he left. Surprisingly, he saw her standing at the door of the study right after he finished complaining.
She looked kinda angry. Apparently, she had heard what he had complained to little Ezio.
Ezra felt guilty and tried to explain, “Well, I…”
Surely, Maisie had heard his complaint about her. She came over with slight anger, “It’s only between us, Ezra Cantillo. How could you judge me like that in front of little Ezio? What were you thinking?!”
“I have never said anything bad about you in front of little Ezio. I’ve tried my best to protect and maintain your image of a good father since you showed up in his life.”
“I’ve never badmouthed you though you weren’t there for him at first. I’ve kept telling him his father is a capable and good man since he was unborn.”
“I was just kidding,” explained Ezra.
He didn’t mean to talk behind her back. He just wanted to talk out with his son but he didn’t expect she would hear it.
“You stay. I’ll leave.” Maisie said it and grabbed the car key to leave. She hadn’t got changed yet after work and she could leave any time.
Of course, she knew Ezra was kidding. After all, she knew him and his personality to some extent. The way he talked and acted was a bit unruly.
But she was really annoyed and bothered at the moment and almost lost her temper. So, she just chose to get out of there.
Maisie left. Ezra sighed helplessly with little Ezio in his arms.
He felt whatever he did and whatever he said was wrong!
Daisy remained silent while they were arguing. Seeing Maisie left, she came over to them, “Catch up with her. I’ll take care of little Ezio.”
Ezra shook his head, “No need. She’ll be more annoyed if I follow her. Just give her a break to chill out.”
“It made sense.” Daisy thought Ezra had made a point of it.
Maisie was out, so Ezra decided to stay and keep little Ezio company. He and Daisy had dinner after she left. He ordered the take-away food for dinner before Maisie got off work. Daisy had put the dishes on the table but only three of them were eating.
Maisie was upset and she could only turn to Emelia. She called Emelia before she drove to her place.
On the way, Steven called her and asked her out for dinner. Maisie turned him down politely, “Sorry. I’ve got other plans with my friend.”
“OK,” said Steven, sounding down in spirit.
Maisie thought of it and added, “Steven, I don’t know why you’re here in Riverside City this time. But I still have to make myself clear.”
“We have never had anything in common all the time and we won’t work out together. What’s more, I’ve got a son now, and I work and live here in Riverside City. Don’t you think you are just wasting your time? It’s impossible between us.”
In fact, Maisie couldn’t understand what on earth Steven was thinking. What was the point of running after her from far away? It just didn’t work out.
She rejoined the Hughes Group this time and swore in her heart that she would work for the company until she retired unless she wasn’t capable of it anymore or got fired by Julian.
And, Steven was a foreigner and lived abroad all year round. It was impossible between them.
Unexpectedly, Steven said earnestly on the phone, “I am willing to start my life in Riverside City.”
Maisie found Steven’s words unbelievable and out of curiosity, she still persuaded him patiently, “Your family businesses are all overseas and you’ve been living abroad since you were a child. How can you adapt to life in Riverside City?”
“I was young and arrogant back then and I thought I could meet someone better after I left you. I also thought that my family couldn’t move on without me. But so many years have passed and I’ve grown mentally mature. I made the decision after giving it a second thought.” said Steven.
“You might not know that I’ve built a company in Riverside City now. I’ll stay and start my businesses here. I’ve told David to finish most of the procedures for me before I came here.”
Maisie was totally stunned.
To her surprise, Steven had already established a company here!
