Sadly the reality didn't go as he wished. Maisie didn't say anything to comfort him but instead retreated.
Complicated feelings mixed inside him. Finally, he took a deep breath. He held her around the middle and walked towards his house.
The driver instantly got Ezra's intention and left quickly.
Maisie was surprised by his sudden move and wriggled to get rid of him. "What are you doing?"
Ezra put him down but remained to hold her hands.
He answered, "I am not doing anything to you. I just want to say something to myself."
Maisie was at a loss what he was thinking about. He said, "I want to say to myself ‘Ezra, where did you get the nerve to complain?'"
"I am terribly sorry and I should not have done this."
"I will never do that again. Please don't go."
With a contrite look, the man was void of any discontent and apologized to her.
As a matter of face, Ezra couldn't be more regretful.
He made a fuss but ended up with nothing. And he still needed to apologize for it. Now he wished he could have been more composed.
Maisie was amused by his quick yielding.
Ezra felt relief seeing that Maisie laughed. He held her tightly and said, "I will control myself and never lose my temper in front of you again."
He had to admit that he was terrified of her leaving.
It would be so much better if she could stop being so rational and argue with him. She always made the decision in silent resolution.
An example was that she left Riverside City without hesitation when they broke up.
At that time he didn't know what to do about her departure. He couldn't believe it and was furious with her at the thought of her resenting staying in the same city with him once they were no longer together. Otherwise, there was no explanation for her leaving at that point in time.
They might meet each other soon again if she stayed in the city and he might realize the fact that he loved her earlier.
Her determined departure hurt his feelings, which was why he severed their ties at the time.
At this moment, he was alarmed at the prospect of her walking away without telling him, especially when she said that she wanted to get back to her home tonight. After all, it took him much effort to win her back.
Sensing his subservient, Maisie's heart melted, and didn't want to be too cruel.
She looked at the man and said, "I gave you my word that I will be with you for the rest of my life. How can I say that if I don't love you?"
"But I just want to hear it," Ezra stressed. "It mattered to me."
Then he added, "But it is fine if you don't say it. As long as you stay with me."
Maisie grumbled, "Who says I don't love you?"
"I couldn't be sure if you chose to be with me for the sake of Ezio," Ezra murmured.
Staring at his gorgeous face, Maisie wrapped around his neck with her arm, which surprised Ezra.
She approached his lips and whispered, "I love you, Ezra."
