Chapter 959 The Warmth of Home
Maisie and Daisy were very surprised, especially Maisie, she looked at Ezra up and down, which made Ezra somewhat unconfident. He explained, "Since I am the boss of the most famous coffee shop in Riverside City, why don't you believe I can make coffee?" Maisie said, "But you are also the boss of several famous restaurants. Can you cook?"
Ezra answered honestly, "I can't."
"Let me make coffee for you," Ezra said, and then went to the tearoom, not using the coffee machine there.
When Ezra brought the mellow and delicate coffee to Maisie, Maisie said with a grievance, "Mr. Cantillo, can you tell me why you asked me to make coffee for you all day when we were together?"
Ezra smiled, "Because I like the coffee made by you."
It was a great pleasure for him to enjoy the food and drinks made by Maisie, who had a cold temperament. He could only feel her love for him when she did these things for him.
To hide his embarrassment, Ezra then promised, "I will make coffee for you forever."
Maisie took a glance at him and then looked down to taste the coffee.
Looking at her with nervousness and anticipation, Ezra asked, "Do you like it?"
"You are supposed to make coffee every day from now on," Maisie answered coldly.
Just now he said he wanted Maisie to make coffee because Maisie was good at it, but in fact, he did quite well in making coffee, too. Big liar! He was supposed to make coffee from now on!
"Well, well, I will." Ezra agreed with a big smile.
Maisie had several days off, besides, Christmas was coming, so after lunch she suggested they go to the supermarket to buy some decorations.
Although they would spend the year with Nancy in Athines, Maisie thought their house in Riverside City should be decorated.
Ezra agreed of course, so they went out, taking Ezio. This was the first time they three went to a supermarket together.
In the supermarket, Ezra held Ezio in his arms, while Maisie chose the groceries they wanted.
She bought couplets and various small colorful lanterns in the supermarket. Then they went to a flower shop, choosing some red silver willow and bundles of flowers. The things bought by Maisie made Ezra feel very happy Because they gave Ezra the feeling of home. The villa he lived in was big enough. As a man, he never thought about how to decorate it with these tender things, so he always spent his new year in a cold atmosphere, but this year would be different.
When they were passing the playground on the second floor, Ezio became very excited. He struggled to see the playground, so Ezra let him look for a while, holding him in his arms.
Ezio was too young to play in a playground.
Ezra felt sorry for his son. On the way back home, he said to Maisie, "I want to build a large playground for Ezio. So, he can play in it happily from his childhood, with no other children fighting for toys with him." Maisie was almost speechless.
She took several deep breaths to calm herself, then she tried to say calmly, "Do you think the kids go to the playground only for fun?"
"It is also a test of their social skills and an important way to let them adapt themselves to the collective life and learn some rules. If you build him a separate playground, he will play alone in it every day. Is it interesting?" "Ezra, it will do no good to Ezio, for you are spoiling him. So terrible!"
Maisie expressed her views and completely disagreed with his idea of building a separate playground for Ezio.
Ezra said, "He played alone? No, there are still two children in the Canuli family. Besides, Jean is pregnant now and she will soon have a baby. Phil and Anya will have their baby in the near future, too. It's a good idea to let them play together in the playground." Owning to the incentive childbearing policy, their dozens of children could play together in the playground.
"And if we build it by ourselves, I will use the best environment-friendly materials and put the most advanced facilities in it. It is for the children's good."
"There will not be strangers to mess with our kids, right?"
Ezra expressed his views about the playground on the way home.
After returning home, Ezio fell asleep after drinking the milk. Ezra, Maisie, and Daisy started to decorate the villa. It was not long before the large villa was in the atmosphere of the new year.
After the decoration, Daisy said with emotion, "How time flies! The new year is coming."
"Yes." Maisie said, with the red silver willow in her hand, "I didn't notice how time flew in the past. After having Ezio, I really hope time can pass slowly because I want to accompany Ezio to grow up slowly."
Ezra lifted his head to look at Maisie, who was decent and quiet. He couldn't help raising his hand to hug Maisie into his arms, and said gently, "Let's grow up with Ezio."
"Ezio will grow up soon," Daisy said. As a mom, she knew it well. Looking at Ezra and Maisie, she went on saying, "So, accompany Ezio as much as possible, otherwise when he grows up and goes for further study, you will have no chance to accompany him." People missed their relatives more at festivals, and so did Daisy. She was missing his son studying in Grafstin very much as Christmas was coming.
Ezra and Maisie had planned to let Daisy go to Grafstin before Christmas, letting her reunite with her son early.
When Daisy was doing the housework, Maisie took out a gift to find her.
Ezra was puzzled and asked, "What is this?"
Maisie answered honestly, "I bought Carl a gift, a set of coffee cups."
In Grafstin, it was Carl who helped to stop Susan when she hurt Ezio. Maisie has planned to invite him for dinner, but she moved out of Grafstin before she invited him.
Maisie had always been planning to thank Carl, so she bought a set of coffee cups of good quality on her business trip. Daisy once mentioned Carl liked coffee, and she remembered it.
In Maisie's eyes, it was quite proper to give Carl a present for his help. But Ezra immediately became jealous, "You bought a gift for him?"
