"Thank you for your kindness. I don't think it's small at all." Maisie typed these words word by word on the phone, gritting her teeth.
Maisie knew how important her work was to her, so she had high requirements for her study.
Every item in the study was selected carefully by herself and each was the most comfortable and suitable for her.
Her study was very big and there was a wall-to-wall bookcase which was filled with all kinds of books and various trophies she had won since childhood, as well as photos of her with some business figures.
There was also good sunlight and a comfortable, romantic bay window. The desk was made of thick solid wood and was so large that she could put all her working materials on it when she was busy. It was not small at all!
Ezra did not know what else to say, so he just picked a topic, otherwise, he was too bored to stay by himself.
After receiving her reply, he then changed the topic, "I saw your photo with Professor Daisy. I got tickets for his next lecture. Can I invite you to go to the lecture?"
Prof. Daisy was an old professor of economics whom Maisie venerated very much. A few years ago, Maisie attended one of his lectures and took a photo with the old man. She then kept that photo in her study as a souvenir.
Over the years, Maisie had become Julian's right-hand woman and was much busier than before. Even if there was an opportunity to attend Prof. Daisy's lecture, she had no time to go at all.
Ezra knew about it and that was why he invited her to attend the lecture.
However, the chatbox had been silent for ages since the invitation was sent, so Ezra sent another query, "Busy? Why don't you answer my messages?"
As soon as the message was sent, a big red alert showed up on his phone, indicating that he had been blacklisted by Maisie!
Ezra jumped down from the bay window in disbelief, staring at his phone for a long time.
She had blacklisted him?
She had blacklisted him!
When Maisie and he broke up, Maisie changed her contact information to cut off all relations with him. At that time, he could understand her.
But now…
He just sent her a few messages, though they were boring and meaningless. But should he be blacklisted? How insensitive!
She did not care about his feelings at all!
Ezra was extremely annoyed, but he could not change the situation.
In the past, he would have turned around and walked away, if he had been treated like this by a woman; but now he was unwilling to leave her.
Here was his cute little son and…
And a woman who made him upset.
Maisie had loved him, hadn't she?
How come she disliked him so much now?
What was wrong?
What Ezra did not understand was that the problem lay in him.
Maisie had her own principles of self-respect as a woman. She would love him wholeheartedly when they were in love; but when they broke up and had no sexual links, she would keep a normal distance between him, as a normal man and a normal woman would do.
Maisie could not accept the current situation where Ezra was kind of flirting with her.
If Ezra loved her or really wanted to ask her to stay, he should convince her with a firm attitude. However, the fact was the opposite. Thus, Maisie could only take his actions as unserious flirting and give him the cold shoulder.
Ezra took the phone to dial Maisie in great anger. He wanted to protest and complain.
