Emelia and Maisie were the first to arrive at the restaurant's private room, then Jean. Nina came late.
As soon as she entered the box she threw herself into the sofa next to her and said feebly, "My back was almost broken."
Everyone here was married or had children, so they knew what she meant.
Emelia smiled and teased her, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
Nina hummed, "Yuck! He is a beast."
If she didn't have to party with them tonight, Cameron wouldn't have let her out of bed.
Everyone laughed, Nina stood up and said angrily, "Come on, let's get hammered!"
Just now Cameron sent her to the entrance of the restaurant, before getting off the car he told her to drink less, but she wanted to go against him. She wanted to get drunk to get back at him for treating her so roughly.
However, what Nina didn't expect was that she didn't end up getting drunk, but Maisie, who was the most level-headed and sensible one among them got drunk. And Jean, who said she would not drink because she was preparing for pregnancy, also drank.
But wasn't this how women are? Be rational or sensual when it needs to be.
Ezra also didn't expect that Maisie would get drunk.
He stayed home with his son at night. About ten o'clock, he gave the baby a bath and he slept in his arms. He was finally free and immediately text Maisie.
"The kid is sleeping."
"When will you be back? Need I to pick you up?"
"Heading back?"
There was no reply. Ezra didn't know that Maisie was already drunk and couldn't check her phone at all.
After another hour, Ezra got a call from Arthur, who asked Ezra to pick up Maisie because she was drunk.
Arthur was depressed, "Jean said she wouldn't drink, but finally, she drank herself down."
Unlike Arthur's depression, Ezra got a very tolerant attitude toward Maisie's drunkenness, because Maisie may be able to open up to him. But of course, this was a euphemism for his thought of taking unfair advantage of her.
However, his wish was far more from reality.
On the way back, Maisie had been quietly asleep in the co-pilot. She didn't make a fuss for even a second, not like Nina, who started to make a complaint against Cameron at the gate of the restaurant.
As the actress' husband, Cameron even wanted to cover Nina's mouth.
Maisie had been very quiet. Since she was brought from the private room, she had been leaning on him, tilting and holding this posture all the way.
After arriving home, he helped her into the house. Then she opened her eyes shakily and stared at him seriously. Ezra dared not move by her eyes, because he saw the pain in her eyes.
That was not good.
He dared not to move and speak, but Maisie suddenly stepped back with her hand on her forehead and asked him in surprise, "Ezra? Why are you here?"
Daisy also hadn't been in bed. When she got known that Maisie was drunk, she prepared honey water in advance in order to help her be sober.
When she saw the two at the entrance in such a state, Daisy hurriedly went forward and whispered to Maisie, "This is Mr. Cantillo's house."
Ezra hurriedly nodded, "Yes, this is my house, where should I be if I'm not here?"
After finishing, he lowered his head to change his shoes and intended to enter the door, but Maisie said with annoyance, "Your house? How? This is my house!"
