My ex-husband is in love with me (FULL)
Chapter 839 I Am a Competent Bodyguard

Carl helped with the photos. And Ezra had to acknowledge that this young man was quite proficient in taking pictures. The photograph taken by him is satisfactory. After taking the pictures, Ezra tried to pass Ezio to Daisy. He was going to meet Maisie's mother with Maisie.

But Ezio didn't seem to be ready for leaving Ezra. He didn't let go and babbled, which flattered Ezra. He held Ezio tightly and asked with caution. "Could I take him?" Maisie frowned. She was afraid that her mother got mad and hurt Ezio.

Ezra understood her worry. He looked at her with a firm expression, "I will take good care of him."

"Then take him with us."

She trusted in Ezra's ability in protecting his son. And Ezra spending more time with Ezio was part of her plan.

They got into the car. Maisie would drive because she was familiar with the roads.

Ezio sat in the back with Ezra.

After a short while, Ezio fell asleep, which spoiled Ezra's plan of staying more often with him.

He grumbled about it, "How come he fell asleep so fast?"

Ezra couldn't even get mad since Ezio was adorable when he was asleep.

Maisie explained, "Baby of his age falls asleep quickly in the car."

Ezra moaned to the little one. "Carved for my hug just now but fell into sleep once in the car. From where did you learn your heartlessness?" Maisie knew he was accusing her indirectly but she didn't retort.

There was something good about the kid going to sleep. Ezra could freely ask her questions. "What's all about Carl?"

Maisie replied, "Daisy sent him to protect me."

Ezra gritted his teeth and said after deliberating. "As I said, I will be in Grafstin for a while. Isn't it enough to have me protect you and Ezio?"

Maisie remained unimpressed. "I don't need the protection of anyone. I accepted Daisy's offer only because she insisted on it."

Maisie could fight. For once she learned about it.

The first reason was self-defense. The second was that people around her and David were mostly people of high position like Julian. Fighting skills might be useful in case someone wanted to stir violence. Daisy had no idea about that but Ezra knew that fairly well.

Ezra was frustrated after being rejected twice in a row. He bleated, "It's not a good thing when one woman is too tough on herself."

Maisie didn't answer that.

One will act like a spoiled child when he or she has the privilege to do so.

She didn't grow up in a loving family. She was accustomed to being tough.

Besides, she wouldn't let down her guard before Ezra, who was nothing different from a stranger.

Ezio didn't wake up when they arrived at the hotel David booked. Maisie intended to hold her son off the car as usual after she parked the car.

But Ezra did this before her and complained, "I am still here. What do you take me for?"

What he meant was that she didn't need to hold the baby when he was there.

Maisie laughed resignedly. He didn't have to overreact like this.

At last, Maisie took a blanket to wrap the baby. And Ezra carried him into the lift.

"Be careful about your mouth later," Maisie instructed.

She knew her mother quite well, cynical and snobbish. Susan wouldn't quit badgering Ezra to marry her once she learned about Ezra's wealthy background.

Telling Ezra to be careful was to let him not say things that were likely to cause misunderstanding. And don't blame her for not having forewarned him about the potential terrible consequence. Ezra swiftly got her purpose of saying this. He was about to get mad but mildly amused by it.

He drew her attention through Ezio who was sleeping. "You don't want him to grow up in a complete family?"

"Not at all," Maisie replied with aloofness

There's no intact family without love in it.

Ezra didn't know what to think after being rejected all the time.

Ezio woke up when they got out of the lift and cried once realizing it wasn't Maisie who was holding him.

Maisie hurriedly carried Ezio away from Ezra's arms. This was his fault. What should she do if Ezio cries again later?

What if Ezio witnessed their fighting?

She probably has gone through abuse in million times since she was a child. However, she was not ready to let Ezio undergo this.

So Maisie suggested, "How about you play with him outside the room?"

"I have to stay nearby. What if your mother wants to hurt you again?" Ezra didn't approve of her suggestion and took Ezio back from her arms.

He could sense the impatience of Maisie at this moment. But he couldn't figure out where did her feeling come from.

Before they went to the hotel, Maisie stayed cool but now she couldn't be more irritated.

Maisie deeply loathed Ezra's behavior. But she didn't have a good command of arguing. Nor did she prefer to tackle problems through arguing.

"Mind your own business. Your job is to watch Ezio later." She walked to knock on the door after saying this.

David opened the door. He frowned at Ezra's presence. "What are you downing here? Why is Ezio with you?"

David was angry, "What's wrong with you? To get a little kid involved in such a thing."

"To show him the evil nature of humanity. How about that?" He pushed David away while holding Ezio with another arm.

Susan rushed out after hearing the noise. She screamed and was ready to hit Maisie, "You shameless. You have got some guts!" Although David tried to calm her down many times before they got here, Susan still couldn't contain her rampage.

Susan had never cherished Maisie. During all these years, Susan had developed a habit of venting her anger on Maisie.
