"Congratulations, newlyweds! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness," Ezra expressed his best wishes once again when Jean was distracted by her thoughts.
Jean then responded with a smile, "Thank you."
Arthur seated Ezra at the table with Julian and other male guests, while Maisie was sitting with Emelia and Nina as female guests.
After Ezra sat down, Emelia turned her gaze and glanced at Maisie worriedly with a sense of guilt.
Maisie could fly all the way here because Emelia said that Ezra would not come.
It was Julian who told her the news and she believed him. Emelia was sure that Julian did not want Maisie and Ezra to have any contact either, so Julian would not give a false message.
But now Ezra was here. In anger, Emelia thought that she would definitely punish Julian if he lied to her!
Maisie saw the worry and guilt in Emelia's eyes. She reassured her with a chuckle, "Never mind. For me, he is just an ordinary friend now. It's fine for us to meet each other."
Maisie did not see Ezra as a stranger, because a stranger was someone she could not give up.
However, she had already let it go. Thus, Ezra could only be an ordinary friend to her.
In that case, it was fine that they met and greeted each other occasionally and they would not bother each other in daily life when not met.
Anya, who was eating, pouted and said, "Men are just like that. If you ignore them, they'll be more attentive to you."
Phil came to attend Arthur's wedding with Anya and she was thus sitting with Emelia at the table.
Phil and Julian were good friends; Anya, however, was not familiar with Emelia and other ladies.
Anya was three or four years younger than Emelia and had just graduated from university this year, so there was a generation gap between them. In addition, Anya also had no intention of integrating into Phil's connection, so she hardly attended their parties.
It was recently that she would go out with Phil once in a while.
Emelia and other ladies laughed at her words about men. Nina teased her, "No wonder Phil is so clingy. It's because you always ignore him."
Anya shook her head in disgust, "He's different from them. He's simply crazy. Whether I care about him or not he's pushy. It really annoys me."
Maisie chuckled, "Why do I feel like I've witnessed PDA."
"Yes, today's PDA is more than enough," said Nina.
Anya hurriedly waved her hands and explained, "I don't mean to show affection. In fact, I'm distressed.
"I also want to know why he is always staying so close to me." Anya seemed to be extremely vexed. "I thought at first that he just had a short-term affection for me, so I just let him be.
"I marry him and live together with him as he wishes. But why can he stay with me for years without getting tired?"
Emelia and the other women at the table thought with hands on their foreheads, "So the little girl has been waiting for Phil to get tired of her?"
Anya's words would drive those women outside the network crazy.
They racked their brains, trying to have love affairs with Phil, wishing for his love, and wanting to stay with him for a lifetime, while Anya was waiting for Phil to get bored; those women outside would strangle Anya to death if they knew her thoughts.
Anya sighed heavily, "And he's been badgering me about having a baby recently. I don't want a baby at all. If we have a baby, I will never leave him."
Emelia asked in a soft voice, "But why do you want to leave him? We all see his strong love for you."
Maisie nodded her head. "Yes. If a man doesn't love you, he will not marry you and be willing to stay with you forever. Right?"
