"You are so crazy! I will never do such a thing!" Maisie cried. She had never brought Ezio to her company when she returned to work after her maternity leave. Ezra had gone so far as to bring Ezio to his company.
Then it occurred to her that she had something else to say, so Maisie changed the topic, "By the way, Nancy said she was busy with her work and could not come back for Christmas, so why don't we visit her and spend Christmas together?"
She had been in contact with Nancy all the time. It should be a great idea to fly abroad and spend the special day together with Nancy.
This year was a good chance for a reunion. With all the disgusting people and things bowing out, they should get together and celebrate Christmas together.
But Ezra had never mentioned it. Maisie thought he might be afraid that she was unwilling to go abroad, so she took the initiative to suggest it.
Maisie had resisted celebrating Christmas with her mom and dad for several years. Now she had cut ties off from them, so there was absolutely no need for her to go back home. Then why didn't they go to Nancy's place?
Relationships were strange sometimes. She and Nancy were not relatives by blood, but they could feel each other.
Surprised, Ezra said, "Do you want to go to Australia?"
"Of course." Maisie said with a smile, "Nancy is such a good person, so I like to be with her and want to make her happy."
"Maisie, thank you." Ezra was deeply moved.
It seemed that the popular conflicts between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law would never happen in his family.
He also believed that the two women he loved were both kind and smart. They were sure to get on well with each other.
"We are family. We should act like one," Maisie said to Ezra.
Once Maisie thought she would be lonely all her life. She didn't long for a family because of the unhappy experience of her original family. Then she met Ezra and had a son, which gave her a different understanding of family.
There could be love and warmth in a family, and there could be respect and concern among family members. There will never be a preference for boys over girls or other unfairness in a harmonious family.
They had a son now, and she was sure if they got a daughter in the future, Ezra would treat her as well as Ezio, or even make her the apple of his eye.
With these happy bubbles in her mind, Maisie, who had wanted no more children at first, suddenly longed for another child. Exactly speaking, a daughter, and in that case, she would be the happiest woman in the world.
"You should work, and I will take good care of Ezio." Being deeply touched by Maisie's words, Ezra promised, "I'll book the plane tickets, and let's set out on the holiday. Mom is sure to be on cloud nine when hearing the news."
"Ok," Maisie answered.
Before she got off the phone, Maisie suddenly heard Ezra saying with deep love, "I miss you."
"Warm fuzzies!" Maisie felt it a bit mushy but in the next second the words "Me too" escaped from her lips out of control. Maybe that's because they have consonance, right?
Ezra did not expect Maisie to respond, which deepened his longing for Maisie. He let out a miserable sigh, "I really hope that I can see you now."
