David and Maisie immediately went to the study. While glancing after them, Ezra teased his son who was playing alone on the carpet in the living room.
The little guy was wearing a clean and cute romper, crawling forward with difficulty.
With short hands and feet, he crawled on the carpet and arched his back like a little bug.
Ezra felt that the little guy's way of crawling was really clumsy, so he couldn't help but gently pinched his chubby calf and said, "Why is it so clumsy?"
Hearing it, Daisy, who was on the side, came over and explained with a smile, "He has just started learning to crawl at this age. It takes time. You'd better take something to guide and motivate him in front."
Ezra coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. How could he know that this little guy just learned to crawl? He thought that all children could do anything when they were born.
Looking around, Ezra found a toy. Just as he was about to lead his son to him with the toy, he heard a furious roar from Maisie from the study, "David!"
David told Maisie the truth.
"Do you think my life is too easy?" Maisie's voice was much higher than usual, and it was trembling with anger. Everyone could hear how furious and desperate she was.
Since Maisie gave birth to the child, Daisy had been with her. But she couldn't help but be taken aback by Maisie's yell.
In her impression, Maisie was approachable, gentle, and easy to get along with. Daisy had never seen Maisie get irritated with anyone for so long, and had never heard Maisie yelling at anyone like that.
Then she hurriedly stepped forward to check on the little guy. The child was frightened.
After hearing Maisie's roar, the boy instantly froze there. Soon, his eyes instantly puffed.
In the next second, he cried loudly. Ezra witnessed the whole process of his son crying. He wanted to hug him and coax him, but he didn't know where to start.
He had never held a child. Even if Julian had two children, Ezra never offered to hold them once.
Everyone knew that Ezra hated children, so Julian never insisted on him holding his children. So even if he felt so sorry for his son now, Ezra didn't know how to hold him.
At this moment, Daisy had stepped forward and picked up the child, letting the little man lay on her shoulder. She gently patted his back to reassure him, "Shhh… Don't cry. Mom is not yelling at you."
But the little man was still frightened. He lay on Daisy's shoulder and continued crying. Ezra felt so heartbroken. He had never had this strong feeling before.
Was this the so-called father-son connection?
His son cried, and he also felt heartache?
In the study room, David apologized to Maisie with great guilt, "Maisie, I'm sorry. I didn't expect it would cause such big trouble. I just…"
David was interrupted by Maisie before he could finish his words, "You just want to take revenge on those people, right?"
"I've been telling you from the very beginning that I have nothing to be said about breaking up with Ezra, and I've known for a long time that there would be no good ending between me and him. You don't have to worry about me!"
"David, the best way to keep decent is to mind your own business! Clear?" Maisie yelled at David with red eyes.
This should be the first time that Maisie had said so harshly to David in so many years. Maisie knew that it would hurt David, but she couldn't care so much. Maisie thought this would make David realize that he shouldn't get his hands on her business.
