My ex-husband is in love with me (FULL) -
Chapter 890 He'd Got A Gift for Her Too
None of the elders had ever been good to her so far. She wasn't welcomed in her own family and her mother disliked her, so the elders in the family disliked her, either. She had never loved or been approved by them.
Maisie was worried that Nancy would dislike her before they met. If that was the case, she didn't know how to get on with her later. After all, some of her friends had met difficult and picky mother-in-law. Emelia was a typical example among them and Nina didn't have a good relationship with Cameron's mother at first.
Besides, she also knew some of her co-workers had been found fault with by their picky and mean mother-in-law. But Nancy was so tender and kind that it made her burst into tears.
Nancy saw it and her eyes were red with tears, too. She stepped forward to give Maisie a hug, "Dear Maisie, my child. I've heard all those misfortunes you've suffered. They don't treasure you but we do!" Ezra was the only child of Nancy. She used to think she would never value boys more than girls if she had a daughter herself. Instead of leaving all the properties to her son, she would treat them equally and fairly. And she wouldn't take her daughter as a tool to help her son.
Ezra hung up on Phil and turned back to see them hugging each other. He took the phone away and went over, "What's happening?"
Nancy heard it and glanced at Ezra, "It's between women. You won't understand. Don't ask."
Most importantly, they simply couldn't tell him the whole thing or describe the sympathy they had for each other in words.
"So, I am not needed here, right?" Ezra protested with dissatisfaction.
"Get it and get outta my face then." Nancypretended to be impatient with Ezra.
Maisie didn't imagine they would get on with each other in this child-like way. Were they having a tiff with each other?
What's more, they both had the personas of being aloof, superior, and unapproachable in public. But it turned out that they were so childish at home.
Actually, this was how Ezra had always got on with Nancy. He used to be a naughty little boy. Though he didn't have a father around, he still lived happily and smoothly since Nancy had filled him with love. Nancy had brought him up with wits and courage.
Ezra humphed after being disdained by Nancy, then he went over to Maisie and pulled her to sit down with him on the couch.
Ezra saw the necklace on her neck and came closer to take a look, "Oh, Lady Wenninger has given you her dearest sapphire necklace?"
He suddenly came very close to her and made her blush. She doubted that he wanted to take advantage of her in the name of appreciating the necklace. Or, he shouldn't have come so closely to her. It was a big sapphire and he wasn't blind, so he definitely could see it clearly from where he was sitting now.
Ezra told her it was the dearest sapphire necklace ofNancyand she had to admit Nancycared much about her. But meanwhile, she was bewildered thatNancywas so good to her and took her as her real daughter-in-law. It would surely tear her heart out if she got to know that she was just acting in a play with Ezra.
Before Maisie could say anything, Ezra added, "Impressive! Lady Wen is so generous. I can't lose. Wait a minute. I've got a wedding gift for you, too."
Maisie was lost for words.
With confusion, she watched Ezra go upstairs but she didn't know what he was gonna do.
And, why did he have to compete with his mother on the price of the gifts?
In fact, she didn't want it at all.
The sapphire necklace from Nancywas already too expensive. She really couldn't take it if he gave her another gift. As far as she knew him, the wedding gift from him must be priceless. Nancyroasted him aside, helplessly, "See? Very Childish!"
"Indeed!" Maisie couldn't agree more this time.
Nancy glanced at Maisie meaningfully. She remembered Ezra told her he had gotten back with Maisie and applied for the marriage certificate this morning. But somehow, she thought it was Ezra's wishful thinking only.
Ezra called her a few days ago and told her he had married a son and he also told her his love stories with Maisie but she found something wrong with it.
She could tell from his words that Maisie was a strong and principled woman. He had hurt her dreadfully like that and how could she forgive him so easily?
But she was smart and didn't ask more about it. She just told him that she wanted to return to the country to see her grandson and daughter-in-law.
She didn't know why he married Maisie so soon, but she knew that he was in love with her.
And she knew better than anyone else that Ezra didn't long for love and marriage because of her and the misfortunes she had suffered. He had been saying that he would never fall in love with anyone but it turned out that he had just married someone! And she didn't hear any reluctance or unwillingness in his voice. So, she was sure that he was in love with Maisie.
She once heard him complain that Roman had forced him to marry Erika, and she could hear the disgust in his voice. Later, he played a little trick to make Roman cancel the engagement.
Compared with how he reacted to the engagement last time, he must have married Maisie truly from his heart.
So, she made up her mind to return to the country immediately, mainly to see if she could do something to help Ezra protect and maintain his hard-won love and marriage...
She seemed to have guessed it right. Obviously, Maisie wasn't too passionate with Ezra and probably, she was unwilling to marry him.
ButNancy didn't say a word. She planned to see what Ezra was gonna do with it first.
Ezra returned very soon with several boxes in his hands. Maisie saw it and wanted to run away. She couldn't help wondering why he was taking so many boxes with him! Nancy saw her reaction and almost burst into laughter.
Unexpectedly, Ezra, who had been dashing and chased by girls all the time, was disliked and disdained by a woman now.
Somehow, Nancy didn't feel sympathy for him at all. Instead, she wanted to see him get beaten and frustrated by Maisie. She didn't imagine why but she just gloated.
Without a doubt, Ezra had seen Maisie's reaction and got angry. Did she really take him as a monster? Why did she want to run away since he was just going to give her a gift?
But never mind. She couldn't run away today since Nancywas here.
He went over to take a seat and displayed the boxes on the tea table one by one. Maisie raised her eyebrows whenever he opened a box, and she felt her eyes were dazzled by the glittering diamonds.
It was a full set of jewelry, including a necklace, a ring, two bracelets, and even a breast pin. But Maisie just didn't want any of it.
