They left the graveyard. When they got into the car, Maisie asked Ezra in confusion, "Why do they have to leave Riverside?"
Ezra looked at her and said, "Or do you want Erika to piss you off every day?"
"You're right. I don't want to. But it is interesting to punish her and see her annoyed."
Erika was a stupid girl and was no match for Maisie.
Ezra said through laughter, "I don't realize that you are interested in it."
Maisie gave a little cough and said, "Maybe we all have such gratification when fighting back against the people who bullied us."
Maisie had never bullied others, but she fought back against Erika's bullying hard. It was super cool, especially when Erica failed.
Ezra added, "We should fight back harder in the future. After all, some people will never yield until they are defeated completely."
Erika was the kind of person.
Maisie was perplexed, "Why does Erika not afraid that she will follow Diana and her two daughters' downfall? Mrs. Marshall is shrewd and she must stop Erika."
"I hope they have listened to my warning today," said Ezra.
People's unlimited greed would in turn devour them. Covertly, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall had got more than enough over these years. They should learn to stop and be satisfied with what they had got. Otherwise, Ezra would force them into returning all the gains.
All these things came to an end along with Roman's funeral.
After Ezra and Maisie arrived home, Nancy told them that she had to leave. Maisie was attached to Nancy, who was also sad about leaving. Nancy said, "I want to stay with you for another couple of days, but something comes up and I have to leave."
In Nancy's original plan, the return was a short trip. Now, she had finished all the things related to the Cantillo family and was delighted to see that Maisie and Ezra were not engaged in busy work all day.
"When do you leave?" asked Ezra.
"Early tomorrow morning. I planned to take some photos for you three, but the plan failed because of all these unexpected matters," Nancy said regretfully.
These days, Maisie and Ezra had been busy dealing with Roman's burial, so, the shooting was delayed.
Although Ezra had no affection for his father, it did no good for his public image, if he took his wife, kid, and mother out for photography during such a period.
Maisie had Nancy's arm in hers and comforted her, "There's still time. We can take photos next time we meet."
Ezra, standing next to them, gave Maisie a melancholy glance. He wondered whether Maisie would still be Mrs. Cantillo the next time his mother returned home. Would he get the photos of the happy family?
Ezra had been worried about these all these days.
Although Maisie had stayed with him and helped him deal with many things, he always had a sense of unreality and felt that Maisie would tell him that they should be parted from each other.
"It's a deal! We will get it next time." Nancy replied to Maisie and there seemed to be another meaning in her words.
Nancy went back to her room and packed up her luggage after they had settled down the time to leave.
When she was packing, Ezra knocked at the door and walked in. Nancy asked him with a smile, "Anything wrong?"
Ezra took a suitcase that had been packed up and pushed it aside.
