My ex-husband is in love with me (FULL)
Chapter 834 Try Hard to Be Gorgeous

"Are you in danger, Maisie? Do you want my son to help you? My son is studying at Public Security University and he is doing great!" asked Daisy.

Maisie had told Daisy that she would go abroad with little Ezio but she didn't tell her the particular reasons. Just now Ezra mentioned something like killing her cruelly and so on, so she guessed Maisie was in danger.

Daisy had gotten on well with Maisie and they took each other as family. Daisy knew Maisie was born in a patriarchal family and her parents had always valued boys over girls, and she knew how difficult it had been for Maisie to make herself a capable and strong woman from a family background like that.

Daisy felt distressed for Maisie and she was ready to help.

"Your son is studying at Public Security University? But, why didn't you mention it before?" said Maisie, surprised.

Maisie only knew her son was a college student. Her son had attended university and she felt bored at home without much to do. That was why Daisy decided to work as a babysitter and make money to help support the family, by the way.

"I am not into showing off. I can call him to come over and safeguard you for a few days if it is necessary. He's on holiday now." Daisy smiled modestly.

Maisie appreciated it but she just didn't want to get the innocent involved, so she turned down her kindness politely, "Thanks, Daisy. It's very kind of you. But I can handle it myself. It's no big deal."

"It's OK. He'll serve the public after graduation. He's ready to help if necessary." said Daisy.

Daisy insisted and Maisie had to compromise a bit, "Let's do it like this. I'll see you first. If I do need help, I'll tell you. OK?"

"OK!" said Daisy neatly.

Daisy left soon after dinner. As she knew Maisie was going to have a private conversation with David.

"Please take good care of mum and dad for me." Maisie proposed a toast to him.

Then she smiled, self-mocking, "But it seems that I seldom visit them at home even I stay in the country, not to mention taking care of them."

She went back home with David to visit her parents on every holiday and festival for the first few years after she started working.

But the air in the house just made her breathless every time. She went home with David but they could see David and cared about David only as if she was invisible. They held his hand and made a fuss over his life and health, but they never cared about her.

Maisie went back home less and less often as time passed by.

She could also see that they didn't like to see their daughter in the house.

They liked Maisie's money only. They wouldn't care about anything else about her if she had sent the money to them at regular intervals.

Undoubtedly, David knew how unfairly his parents had treated Maisie all these years, and he also knew the reason why Maisie went back home less and less often. He comforted Maisie, "You've given them enough money. I'll take care of the rest."

"Thanks for understanding," said Maisie, truly from her heart.

Her parents had been partial to David all the time, but fortunately, David still respected her and loved her very much. And thankfully, David had grown up to be so amazing and capable that he definitely could live well on his own.

"Are you going to tell mum that you're going abroad?" asked David.

"Can you go back home with me tomorrow? I'll be more comfortable with you by my side and things will be easier for me, too." Maisie nodded.

David would defend her and protect her whenever their mother told her off harshly. And they wouldn't pay much attention to her if David was there. Otherwise, she was afraid that her mother would get to the root of the matter and make her tell the reasons why she suddenly wanted to live abroad.

"Sure," said David without any hesitation.

"I'll go to the office and handle some matters in the morning. Then we'll drive home," added Maisie.

It was a three-hour drive from Grafstin to their hometown. They could take turns to drive in case either of them got too tired. Maisie must drive and fill the trunk with all the different gifts. Otherwise, her mother wouldn't be happy.

Of course, she couldn't bring little Ezio with her. Her parents didn't know she had a baby boy out of wedlock till now. Her mother would surely kill her if she knew it.

Firstly, Maisie thought it was a great humiliation to the family by giving birth to a child out of wedlock. Secondly, her mother thought she would spend most of her money raising the baby for the man before they got married, and then she would condemn Maisie more harshly.

Unexpectedly, their mother came for her before they left for home.

Maisie went to the office the next early morning. Soon after that, David, who was waiting for her at home, received a call from Julian, "Daniel just called me and told me that your mother is in the office now. She is making a scene with Maisie."

"What?" David jumped up from the sofa in a flash.

"You'd better go to the office now! She knows Maisie has a baby," added Julian.

David was really worried. He knew better than anyone else how his mother would react to it. So, he hung up the phone and rushed out.

As soon as he ran out of the apartment building, David ran into Ezra.

But David just ignored him and kept running. Ezra saw the anxiety on his face and stopped him immediately, "What happened?"

"Maisie is in big trouble. My mother is here now!" David told Ezra and went on running to the branch office of Hughes Group.

Fortunately, Maisie lived near the office. It took them only a few minutes to make it there.

They heard a woman cursing harshly the moment they entered the office building.

"You gave birth to a child out of wedlock? You useless and shameless damn girl. How could you embarrass me like that?"

"Do you have any sense of shame? You're unmarried and you've got a child! Are you leftover or do you want to be fucked that much?"

"The scandal spread to our hometown yesterday. You have humiliated your father and me. Do you know what others are talking about you?"

"They said that you'd been kept by a sugar daddy, and you forced him to divorce his wife and marry you by carrying his child shamelessly. But he refused to divorce his wife, and just abandoned you. You've go no other choice but to give birth to the child."

"Jesus! You just pissed me off, you shameless little bitch. Oh, God! I must disown you and kill you today.

"

Susan Becker was making a scene and the employees gathered and waited for her to spill the tea. Some of the staff weren't happy with the decision that Maisie should be the new manager of the branch office and they began gossiping and teasing her when they heard that Maisie was a single mother.

Some of them envied Maisie's excellent work performance which had made her the manager of the branch office at such a young age and they also envied her beauty.

It was true. Maisie had dressed herself up fashionably since she came to Grafstin. She began to put on delicate makeup and fine clothes. She worked hard and lived positively.

Actually, she made the change mainly for her baby boy.

She didn't want little Ezio to see her down in spirit and dressed like an old lady. He was still a little baby but it didn't mean he couldn't appreciate or think.

Maisie hoped she could be a gorgeous, excellent, and capable mum for Ezio.
