Ezra pleaded with a sincere expression, "So...I might have to trouble you by playing a loving couple with me.
Fearing that she might decline, Ezra hastily explained, "My mother won't be in Riverside City for long because she didn't
accustom to the domestic lifestyle, not to mention that my father and Diana were also in this city. She will leave soon after meeting
you and Ezio and knowing that I have a happy family now."
“Are you sure about it?" Out of nowhere, Maisie didn't think his words were highly credible.
Ezra admitted, "It was just my assumption. Otherwise, what is she doing here? She doesn't have friends here and her job is
based in a foreign country.
Ezra continued to lure her, "In one word, She won't stay at Riverside City over a month.”
Maisie now was in a dilemma. Seeing Ezra’s mother completely interrupted her plan. But she couldn't be so ruthless as to
reject a mother's request.
She asked, "What can I do for you?"
Ezra flashed her tempting smile, “At least living together? Or smiling nicely at me?"
Maisie didn't know how to answer that.
She could endure living together. But smiling at him was beyond her abilities.
Among their small group, Maisie, together with Jean belonged to the sedate and sober type of person. The environment
she grew up in and her job determined her quiet and serious personality.
Emelia was always with a friendly smile. Nina was needless to say. She was a charming woman with a contagious smile on
her face all the time.
Because of their characteristics, Maisie and Jean laughed genuinely out of sheer delight. Apart from that, Of course, they
were capable of flashing a civil smile. As for smiling at Ezra...
She rarely did this to Ezra.
Maisie recalled the days when they were still together. lt seemed that she laughed quite frequently.
But what has passed was passed. She was in totally different thinking.
How could you fix a broken heart?
She loved him wholeheartedly at that time but now all she left was alertness and caution. How could she give hima genuine smile with such vigilance?
Noticing her quandary, Ezra sighed inside his mind and made a concession, “Let's at least stay together. Otherwise, my mother will be suspicious. How you treat me is your call."
There was nothing he could do about it.
He would be just fine if she was happy.
At hearing this, Maisie breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she really didn't know what to do.
