Chapter Chapter955 Jealous or Not
"You are so crazy! I will never do such a thing!" Maisie cried. She had never brought Ezio to her company when she returned to work after her maternity leave. Ezra had gone so far as to bring Ezio to his company.
Then it occurred to her that she had something else to say, so Maisie changed the topic, "By the way, Nancy said she was busy with her work and could not come back for Christmas, so why don't we visit her and spend Christmas together?" She had been in contact with Nancy all the time. It should be a great idea to fly abroad and spend the special day together with Nancy.
This year was a good chance for a reunion. With all the disgusting people and things bowing out, they should get together and celebrate Christmas together.
But Ezra had never mentioned it. Maisie thought he might be afraid that she was unwilling to go abroad, so she took the initiative to suggest it.
Maisie had resisted celebrating Christmas with her mom and dad for several years. Now she had cut ties off from them, so there was absolutely no need for her to go back home. Then why didn't they go to Nancy's place? Relationships were strange sometimes. She and Nancy were not relatives by blood, but they could feel each other.
Surprised, Ezra said, "Do you want to go to Australia?"
"Of course." Maisie said with a smile, "Nancy is such a good person, so I like to be with her and want to make her happy." "Maisie, thank you." Ezra was deeply moved.
It seemed that the popular conflicts between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law would never happen in his family.
He also believed that the two women he loved were both kind and smart. They were sure to get on well with each other. "We are family. We should act like one," Maisie said to Ezra.
Once Maisie thought she would be lonely all her life. She didn't long for a family because of the unhappy experience of her original family. Then she met Ezra and had a son, which gave her a different understanding of family. There could be love and warmth in a family, and there could be respect and concern among family members. There will never be a preference for boys over girls or other unfairness in a harmonious family.
They had a son now, and she was sure if they got a daughter in the future, Ezra would treat her as well as Ezio, or even make her the apple of his eye.
With these happy bubbles in her mind, Maisie, who had wanted no more children at first, suddenly longed for another child. Exactly speaking, a daughter, and in that case, she would be the happiest woman in the world. "You should work, and I will take good care of Ezio." Being deeply touched by Maisie's words, Ezra promised, "I'll book the plane tickets, and let's set out on the holiday. Mom is sure to be on cloud nine when hearing the news." "Ok," Maisie answered.
Before she got off the phone, Maisie suddenly heard Ezra saying with deep love, "I miss you."
"Warm fuzzies!" Maisie felt it a bit mushy but in the next second the words "Me too" escaped from her lips out of control. Maybe that's because they have consonance, right?
Ezra did not expect Maisie to respond, which deepened his longing for Maisie. He let out a miserable sigh, "I really hope that I can see you now."
An embarrassing smile flashed across Maisie's face since she said something mushy.
"Bye. I need to pack up."
After the call, Ezra held his son and sighed. Then he took his phone and texted Julian, "Can you wrap up your work early?"
Julian, bothered by him a lot, snapped, "Do you think I want to work late and stay here?"
Julian also missed his wife and children desperately. He wouldn't go on business if it wasn't necessary. Of course, he and Maisie were needed there. Otherwise, they shouldn't come all this way to Athines. Julian was such a "good" friend that he sent the screenshot of their chat to the group and jokingly said, "Look at this wretched. He misses his wife. You know, Maisie and I have just arrived in Athines." Phil, who had a sharp tongue, popped to say, "Who has vowed that he would never get married and have children? And who laughs at us when we are missing or clinging to our wives?"
Annoyed, Ezra expostulated, "Now I have an excellent wife and a lovely son. Jealous?"
"You should work harder to make a baby with Emelia than lash me out with your silver tongue. You know Jean is pregnant now, so Arthur will be a father very soon."
Phil tried to expostulate, "Anya has agreed. Now we are preparing. You know she will get pregnant if only I give up smoking and drinking."
Surprised, Ezra asked, "Are you sure? Didn't she want to divorce you the other day?"
The last time Phil called Ezra to complain that a daughter of a manager from his branch company went to Riverside City and met Phil for business affairs. Anya was infuriated and jealous, crying to divorce Phil. Why did she suddenly agree to give birth to a baby for him?
Seeming to know Ezra's doubts, Phil proudly explained, "Just as the saying goes - Many things grow in the garden that was never sown there. Anya smelled insecurity in the girl, and agreed to give birth to a child."
Anya was a university student in her senior year, and it was time for her to prepare for the thesis oral defense after Christmas. She was longing to go abroad for further study, with which Phil disagreed. If she went abroad, they would have a long-distance relationship. Phil was a clever man, and he couldn't let it happen.
Phil said, "If she is pregnant, she has to stay here. I will go wherever she goes to pursue her further study."
"You sly guy!" Ezra commented.
Since Anya agreed to give birth to a child, Phil would try every means to knock her up before her graduation, which would stop her from studying abroad.
"You do me a great favor, so I think I owe you a dinner." Phil said, "How about we go out for a drink tonight? Since Maisie is not here, it's your party time. Stop fawning all over your wife and son." "No," Ezra rebuffed.
Ezra then uploaded a photo of Ezio in his office on Facebook, adding, "That's my daddy-son date without his mommy."
Phil was speechless, but Julian understood Ezra. After all, he often took his son and daughter to his office, which was greatly re-decorated for the children's sake.
