Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 883 I'm Not the One You're Talking About

"I only remembered that you went to the restaurant to pick me up last night..." Maisie had planned before that she would simply pretend that Daisy did not tell her about his confession so that no one would be embarrassed.

Ezra took a deep breath and told himself to be calm. However, it was of no avail; he could do nothing but step upstairs without saying anything to keep calm.

Maisie glanced after Ezra, who was obviously unhappy and wondered when it would end that they stayed together all the time. She was not in the least used to it.

Upstairs, Ezra became angrier after showering and washing up. His confession last night was totally forgotten. Totally. How could it be?

At this moment, he heard the sound of Maisie stepping onto the second floor, and he immediately strode downstairs to replace Maisie.

Maisie planned to change her clothes in the room so as to pick up Ezra's mother later with Ezra. Since she had promised Ezra to put on a play, she was supposed to make it as real as possible.

But when she just came to the second floor, Ezra went downstairs from the third floor.

Ezra went straight to Maisie. Maisie took a step back and looked at him warily, "What's up?"

Ezra said, "Last night there was another important thing. Did Daisy tell you?"

Maisie shifted her eyes from Ezra and continued to pretend not to know, "She didn't say anything."

Ezra did not give her the opportunity to do so. He blurted out, "Then I'll say it again. Maisie, I regret it.

"I'm regretting that I gave up the child and gave up our relationship."

Maisie froze with astonishment. Why did he make another unexpected confession now?

In Maisie's eyes, that she ignored Ezra's confession last night should be a terrible blow to his pride, since Ezra was a mighty proud man; and he would certainly not say such things again. However, he confessed again immediately, and it made her unable to give any response.

Ezra continued, "I always thought I wouldn't replace my only love. I always thought I could pull out of a relationship at any time. But since we broke up, I hadn't slept well in the year.

"I never contacted you this year, because I actually had been waiting for you to change your mind and reconcile with me. I admit I am too cocky, bossy, or whatever, and now all of those things mean nothing to me."

"I had thought you were the one who couldn't leave me or let our love off. But I did realize that it was me who couldn't leave you."

When Ezra murmured his love words next to her, Maisie was not touched at all. She did not know why she felt that way. Maisie did not think that she was the woman whom Ezra could not forget. Maybe it was because Ezra never showed his love to her when they were in love before. Therefore, when he declared his love to her in person now, she thought everything was unreal and inconsistent with what she knew.

As a result, Maisie followed her heart and shook her head, "Ezra, I don't think the person you're talking about is me.

"It's almost time, and we should prepare well and get ready to go to the airport."

Maisie went back to her room after she finished her words, leaving Ezra alone in the hallway.

Ezra looked dejected. He had no idea what went wrong; he confessed his love to her, but Maisie felt the person he referred to was not her.

At this moment, Ezra received a message from Nina on the phone, "Last night, we made an oblique reference to you. Maisie's sudden change of mood is because your gentleness to your son nowadays reminds her of your rejection of him before."

Ezra's mouth tightened into a thin line after he read this message.

He could imagine Maisie's inner thoughts-she must have felt very ironic.

At first, Ezra had been the one who ruthlessly rejected the child, and now he cared about the child so tenderly.

She distrusted him as much as he had hurt her.

"BTW, I also help you summarize the current problem that exists between you two from her words: she doesn't believe that you love her or, more precisely, that you will fall in love with her." Nina's words corresponded exactly with Maisie's attitude just now - she really didn't believe it.

But why she did not believe it?

Nina sent another message, "I also summarized the reason for this problem."

Ezra thought, "It's a surprise that Nina loves to summarize. It's like, she's a sort of expert in love. But I have to admit that Nina is experienced in love matters."

Thus, Ezra texted her back reverently, "I'm all ears."

Now Ezra was really in trouble and lost, and urgently needed some guidance on love from an expert like Nina. He did not profess to be an expert in love any longer and he found that he might not even be at the same level as Julian when he had been trying to reunite with Emelia.

"There are two reasons: first, that you're a playboy is deeply rooted and you did date her just for fun at the beginning. As a result, Maisie clings to the belief that you are just playing around with her and don't take the relationship seriously."

"Second, a sense of inferiority in her heart. You know well about her family and her origin; however, you are a famous eligible bachelor of Riverside. It turns out that she thinks there's a huge gap between you

two.

"In short, she thinks it's okay to go out with you, but you can't get married. She feels she can't keep you around her."

Nina's analysis amused Ezra. "So, we're so much alike - we were all playing fields and don't take this relationship seriously now."

"It also makes sense. But now the problem is that she doesn't, yet you do.

"You're the one to be serious, then you've lost the game."

Ezra did not know what to say.

Anyway, Nina's analysis was not bad and quite credible.

Ezra then again asked her for advice, "Then could you tell me what should I do now?"

"There is no good way. We can only leave it to time," Nina replied. "It takes time to prove your love to her and it's useless to rush into it.

"Ezra, you know that Maisie is a late-adopter indeed. It's hard to make her believe that you love her; but once she believes, she will be as devoted as you."

Nina's words made perfect sense.

Maisie was indeed a slow burner. What she suffered from childhood to adulthood led to a strong instinct for self-preservation and a problem with opening up to someone else.

Ezra decided to adopt Nina's advice-taking the long view and affecting her gradually yet perseveringly.

When Ezra put away his phone and was ready to leave, Maisie came out of the bedroom. She changed into a French V-neck black velvet dress, but with one hand behind her back. When she saw Ezra stand outside, she became a little embarrassed, "Why are you still standing here?"

Ezra, however, saw through her needs with discerning eyes. He took the initiative to ask, "Do you need help?"

Maisie kept her hand behind her back, so she needed someone to help zip up her dress.

Ezra was willing to do her a favor.

Maisie did need someone to help her zip up, but she would have called Daisy on the stairway and asked her for help. She did not expect Ezra to be standing outside the room.
