Ezio was the only one in Maisie's eyes. This was the first time that Maisie had left Ezio for so long time, so she really missed him very much.
She had wanted to give Ezra a surprise, but she couldn't control herself when seeing Ezio, especially when hearing his excited cry "mom, mom", so she ignored Ezra naturally.
She indeed missed Ezra when she was abroad.
But when Ezra and Ezio appeared at the same time, she only cared about Ezio.
She held Ezio in her arms, kissing him with copious tears in her eyes, murmuring, "My baby, I'm back. I miss you so much. I love you, Ezio."
Daisy was amused by the poor Ezra who was neglected by Maisie. She knew quite clearly Ezra missed Maisie very much these days.
So, she coughed to divert Maisie to Ezra, but Maisie didn't notice her implication for she only had eyes for her son at that time.
Ezra shook his head, indicating that it didn't matter. Then he came forward and opened his arms to embrace Maisie and Ezio together.
"Just miss your son?" he whispered to Maisie.
Ezra's hug and whisper brought Maisie back to the reality where she had ignored Ezra. She quickly apologized, "Sorry, I really miss Ezio too much."
She then gave Ezra a sweet kiss, which was a great prize. With the depression disappearing, Ezra also gave her a kiss, "Welcome home."
Daisy said, "Maisie prepared a surprise dinner for you. Please come."
Looking at the dishes, Ezra was much happier, "Ok."
Maisie's big surprise erased his unhappiness being roused by her ignorance.
That raised doubts in Ezra's mind: Maisie cared about their only son more than him. Should they have more children in the future?
Even though couples were encouraged to have more than one child to increase the birthrate, and Ezra planned to have another baby with Maisie, exactly, a daughter, now he hesitated, worrying the children might steal Maisie's attention.
Thinking, Ezra sat by the table. Ezio became a clingy baby when he was held by his mom, making Ezra have no chance to get close to Maisie.
Ezra sighed and said to his son mockingly, "You bad boy, I took care of you so well these days, but you ignored me completely when your mom is here."
Maisie chuckled softly. She could feel Ezra's inexplicable jealousy, so she said, "Thank you very much."
Ezra didn't say anything but gave her a suggestive look. It was fine for him to take care of Ezio, but now what he wanted was not thank but sex.
Maisie understood Ezra. She was sheepish at Ezra's indication. Daisy was there. Couldn't he restrain himself a little?
Daisy read Ezra well and sniggered.
So, after dinner, she immediately took Ezio to the bathroom, planning to give him a bath.
As soon as Daisy left with Ezio in her arms, Ezra immediately came forward to lift Maisie up. Maisie looked at him, and asked, "What are you doing?"
