My ex-husband is in love with me (FULL) -
Chapter 838 Take a Family Picture
Hearing the noise made by Ezra, Daisy hastily introduced Ezra to her son but got stuck in explaining the relationship between Ezra and Ezio. "This is Mr. Ezra Cantillo. Ezio is his..." Daisy wasn't sure if she could tell the truth to her son, so she turned to Maisie.
Maisie was frank about it, answering. "Ezio is the son of Mr. Cantillo."
Carl greeted him civilly, "Nice to meet you. Mr. Cantillo."
"You are a student of the Criminal Justice Department?" Ezra asked him with little emotion.
Carl replied with a smile, "Yes. And this year I am a junior."
"Good for you. You have a bright future ahead." Ezra complimented him, though not genuinely.
Maisie didn't know if Daisy and Carl detected the sarcasm in his tone, but she could feel it and was not comfortable with it.
So she overlooked it and invited Carl with a faint smile. "How about going to my place and having a cup of tea?"
Daisy turned down and said. "It is inconvenient for him to go to your apartment. I will have him wait downstairs beforehand when you need to go out."
Daisy knew perfectly well that there was a social distance to be kept between a male and female who were strange to each other. Except for Ezra and David who visited unexpectedly lately, only Maisie and she lived in this place. David was fine to come in as Maisie's brother; Carl should be fine to come in as her son. However, Maisie had no connection with Carl. So Carl should keep his distance from Maisie who is a single woman.
Maisie was a couple of years older than Carl, but others could still gossip about their relationship. So Daisy instructed Carl to keep a distance and be a responsible bodyguard.
Maisie didn't reject seeing Daisy persisting in it.
"I am getting changed to meet my mother. You could continue to chat with Carl." Maisie said to Daisy and Daisyreplied with a nod.
Ezra was about to follow him. But Maisie stopped him and said, "Mr. Cantillo, didn't you want to spend more time with your son? I think it's a good opportunity to play with your son down the stairs."
Ezra couldn't replace an excuse to decline.
He was pissed off.
This woman friendly invited Carl to come to her place but had him play with his son down the stairs.
Her double standards were blatantly obvious.
And he couldn't have problems with it because it was he who claimed to visit his son. His action ought to match his rhetoric.
Maisie didn't mind if Ezra was pleased with her arrangement or not. She stepped up and left.
Now Ezra's feelings were none of her business. All she cared about was whether her interest was infringed.
If Ezra followed her into the house, it would be so awkward to get changed when there were only two of them in a room.
After Maisie left, Daisy passed Ezio to Ezra, saying, "Look, Ezio is looking for you."
Admittedly, Daisy admirably eased the embarrassment he had after he was rejected explicitly by Maisie. Unlike her son, Daisy left a good impression on him.
He didn't like Carl for no reason. He could sense the aggression in him.
After handing the kid to Ezra, Daisy said. "You could play with Ezio here. I will leave you two alone."
Ezra nodded. But the look he threw to Carl was filled with alert.
After they walked a few steps away, Carl whispered. "It seems that Mr. Cantillo doesn't like me very much."
Daisy explained, "He is jealous of you."
Carl was confused. "I thought he broke up with Maisie long before. Besides, this is the first time for me and Maisie to meet and we barely know each other." "You don't know about that. A man could be very sensitive. He will treat anyone who is neighboring his target as an enemy." Daisy saw right through Ezra.
He didn't have to impose on Maisie if he solely wanted to visit his son.
He shrugged, "That's ridiculous. What do I have to do with this if he wants to make a remedy?"
"Perhaps for now he didn't want to get off from the high horse." Daisy shook her head with a smile. "Rich man like he accustoms to be courted. Chasing a girl is a whole new experience for him."
Carl had the same idea. Even isolated like he has heard the name of Ezra, heir of his family, one of the most powerful figures in Riverside City and blessed with an attractive appearance. He will have little trouble getting any woman he is interested in.
It seemed impossible for him to drop his attitude toward a woman with whom he had never been serious before.
Carl sighed, "Maisie is a girl with personality. She never threatened him with the baby.".
Daisy nodded, "Love yourself before you love someone else. She handled this quite well. Ezra wouldn't want to win her back if she profits from her child."
Ezra was playing with his son while they were talking.
The little guy didn't settle in his arm. He sometimes threw his legs and arms about, almost falling from Ezra's arms; sometimes his head rubbed against his neck, leaving salvia all over his dear shirts. Finally, Ezra learned how to deal with the boy, which was to lift him to the height of the leaves of the tree so that he could catch some of them. The kid giggled every time he touched one leaf.
Ezra looked at his happy expression, grumbling, "You have a pretty good time but your father's arms are stretching."
Your father's waist was worn out too, which endangered your future brothers and sisters.
Thinking of it, Ezra didn't notice that Maisie has already come down.
Maisie saw a tall man holding a baby who was touching the leaves. The tree was beautifully yellow in autumn. The picture was even more gorgeous with such a handsome man and an adorable child in it. She couldn't deny that she was attracted to it.
Maisie took out her phone and photographed it.
Ezra heard the sound of clicking. He turned to look at her, saying, "Hey, we got a sneaker."
Maisie was a bit awkward, explaining, "I just wanted to record the good time you have with the kid. I will send you later."
Ezra suggested, "How about three of us taking a family picture?"
Noticing that Maisie was about to turn down, Ezra pinched Ezio's face gently to catch her attention while saying, "This kid deserves a family picture."
They won't stay together like today after she goes abroad. So Maisie changed her mind and accepted. At this time Daisy and Carl came back from their conversation. They were happy to take a family picture for them.
