Ezra went home after work. He put on the clothes for the evening party and was going to fetch Maisie.
Seeing Maisie was dressed to kill, he was attracted head over heels. After bringing back to himself, he came forwards, saying between clenched teeth in a low voice, "Maisie, what are you going to do?"
Maisie had expected his reaction. So, she said, "It is Aunt Brown who chose the dress for me."
"What? "Ezra was unbelievable.
Was it his mother who dressed up his beloved girl like that? Did she think it was easy for him to chase Maisie?
Seeing Ezra was almost tearing his hair out, Maisie tried her best to hold her laugh and keep a straight face, "Aunt Brown said the dresses you bought were too ordinary, so she took me out and bought this one."
Ezra looked up and took a deep breath. Nancy was his very beloved mother, so he couldn't get angry with her.
Nancy came downstairs when hearing their dialogue. Seemed puzzled, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Ezra calmed down and said, "Did you choose the dress for Maisie?"
Nancy replied happily, "Yes, what do you think of it? Is it very beautiful? I'm sure Maisie's beauty will surpass all the other ladies' tonight."
Ezra held his forehead somewhat helplessly. He had no intention to make Maisie surpass others. He just wanted to introduce Maisie formally.
Of course, Ezra knew the drills.
He first agreed with Nancy's choice and Maisie's beauty, "Maisie looks beautiful in this dress. I was so attracted when I saw her just now."
The next moment he added, "But I ‘m afraid Maisie may feel cold with such a bare back."
He found such an excuse to persuade Maisie to wear the dress, but Nancy disagreed, "There are air-conditioners in the banquet room. How can it be cold? Do you think I have never attended parties?"
Ezra said immediately, "Of course not. You have attended many parties."
Now Nancy was a hot fashion photographer and was often invited to various fashion ceremonies.
Nancy added, "Besides, the air-conditioner in the car will be turned on in advance. Maisie can put on a coat on the way to the car."
"Although there are no bare backs in the dresses you chose, they are not thick and warm, either."
How could a dress be thick and warm?
Ezra was finding an excuse for himself. Now he was speechless, so he turned to Maisie.
"Do you want this one?" Ezra asked.
In his eyes, Maisie was not the girl who was thirsty for publicity, and that was why he chose some conventional dresses yesterday.
He really didn't want Maisie to show her fascinating figure too much, but he also considered her low-key personality, so he bought those simple and generous dresses.
"Yes," Maisie replied simply.
She had no choice. Nancy had persuaded her so much to wear the dress before Ezra came home.
Compared with Ezra, Maisie cared about Nancy's feelings more.
Ezra completely gave up the idea of persuading her. He said, "Ok, this one."
Then he went upstairs to put on his clothes.
