My Ex, Please Love Me Again

As Ezra saw that Steven became speechless, he snorted, “You know what? What you are doing is to be a home wrecker, the other man.”

Fear that Steven had no idea of the word, he explained it in English to him.

Steven turned red in the face, “What the hell are you talking about?”

Ezra threw a frosty look at him, “I’m telling the truth. We are a couple now. You know that but still, try to steal my wife away. You are the other man, aren’t you?”

Steven explained himself angrily, “David told me that you are not the real couple! She is unwilling to marry you; thus, I chase after her!”

Ezra replied disdainfully, “Did you just believe David’s words?”

“Though they are twins, David cannot represent Maisie.”

“If you still distrust me, you can observe Maisie’s neck. No one will ever leave a hickey on their partner if they are not a couple.” Steven looked bad after Ezra said that.

On one hand, it represented that Ezra had an intimate relationship with Maisie due to his words. On the other hand, it was really uneasy to be dubbed as “the other man”.

Ezra glanced at Steven’s blue face and still drank his tea leisurely. He knew he was devious because the truth was that he and Maisie got drunk that night. But he still told Steven like that intentionally in order to discourage him terribly, preferably making him give up Maisie rapidly.

He never treated his rival mercifully.

Although Steven was his first rival on the table, he had already hit several opponents stealthily.

From the time he had a crush on Maisie to the time he went steady with her without anyone’s knowledge, he had gotten these men into trouble on the sly because they showed Maisie their affection in front of him at the table.

Hence, as Steven undisguisedly paid court to Maisie in his presence, it was impossible for him to put on a good face.

After the phone call, Maisie entered the room again. Immediately, she perceived that the ambiance was not in harmony. She darted a glance at Ezra. He must have said something which made Steven feel awkward.

Could he just pretend to be kind?

She was about to solve Steven’s problems today. Anyway, he helped her and David a lot when they were abroad.

Accused of being a home wrecker, Steven felt suffering as he thought about it, thus he said to Maisie right away, “I have to go. Sorry.”

It should be the first time that a gentleman like Steven had confronted a terrible blow that did hurt his pride. After saying that, he just turned and left. Even Maisie was stunned. As she snapped back, she hurried to hold Steven back.

Only Ezra stood up without haste, following them out.

It seemed that lunch was coming to an end. Now that Steven found discomfort in Ezra’s words, Ezra hoped Steven would stop badgering Maisie.

If Steven had the right attitude towards Maisie, Ezra would have been willing to solve his problems; after all, he once helped David and Maisie.

“Steven!” Maisie barred the way of the man who was with a look of sorrow, “Just tell me what happened?”

Steven paused and looked at her. He was tall enough to see the reddish mark on her neck. Then he just looked away.

“I’m so sorry that I may get you into much trouble,” he said. He should never badger her now that she and Ezra were a real couple.

Before he came to Riverside City, David told him about Maisie and Ezra. He also said that the marriage between them was merely expedient. From his words, David thought Maisie was not happy.

Then he intended to carry out a two-handed plan – chasing after Maisie again while operating the business – after he came to Riverside city.

But now…

“Why do you say that?” Maisie looked at him, “David and I are willing to help you. Sincerely.”

“I know…” Steven looked down and sighed, “Just talk about the business another day. Sorry for taking up your time.”

Maisie didn’t force him as he was indeed unwilling to stay. After they said goodbye to each other, Maisie got a bone to pick up with Ezra.

“What did you say to him?” Maisie felt angry due to Ezra’s casualness.

“Let’s go back.” Ezra came to her and held her into the room.

It was wonderful that Steven had left. He could have a “romantic” lunch with Maisie quietly.

Maisie just sat down because it would be so wasteful if they didn’t finish the ordered food.

Ezra helped to put her favorite food in her bowl, then said, “We didn’t chat a lot. I just said…he was a home wrecker.”

Maisie was speechless.

She could understand why Steven was unwilling to stay. No one could make it.

Ezra was mean by nature, and what he said quite hurt others’ self-esteem.

However, she lost her words because he was right. She stared at him for quite a while and finally picked up chopsticks, “Just eat.”

She only wanted him to finish the food and get out of her sight.

Although he was right, he should take their relationship into account. She would lose all her friends if he kept doing so.

Ezra knew he had gone too far, thus he proposed to Maisie, “I can solve his problems and then you send them back to him. I don’t want you and David to be embarrassed.”

“That’s okay. Let David contact him.” Maisie declined Ezra’s suggestion. She had no idea what David would think. Anyway, for the time being, she just felt too awkward to face Steven.

Seeing that she wasn’t in a good mood, Ezra said no more. After lunch, Maisie returned to the Hughes Group and Ezra went about his businesses.

On the way back to the Canuli, Ezra got Phil’s call.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Phil complained, “Ezra, you almost got me killed. Do you remember the daughter of your branch manager who just came to Riverside City yesterday? She coordinated to cope with Ruth’s case, and I merely met her to ask for information. Then Anya heard about it from somewhere, and she is getting a divorce with me now.”

Ezra didn’t take it seriously, “Just a lass. Why I haven’t heard that she was divorcing you when you met so many women?”

Phil clenched his teeth, “The problem is that she is young. Anya said ‘you always like young girls.'”

Ezra lost his word.

Anya was right. When Phil had a crush on her, she was bare of age.
