Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart

Chapter 942 Be in His Arms

Ezra drove Maisie to the hospital. The doctor dressed her wound again and gave her a tetanus shot,

which Ezra insisted on.

Maisie reckoned that Ezra was so nervous that made her embarrassed in front of medical workers.

The nurse who gave her the injection comforted her, "For sake of safety, it is not bad to be cautious."

Out of the hospital, they got in the car and were about to go back home. Maisie said sheepishly, "Sorry.

I should have cooked for you, but it ends up like this."

She could keep cooking with a piece of Band-Aid, but he was adamant to go to the hospital.

"I have prepared the dinner. Glad you're all right." Ezra didn't start the car at once but looked up at her,

asking concernedly, "Are you OK?"

He knew she wasn't that distractible sort of person. She must be so preoccupied with her own thought

that she cut herself.

Maisie was surprised that Ezra had now become sensitive enough to perceive her thoughts. She

looked down and said, "Yes, for David."

"He returned home today and fainted from anger."

Ezra frowned slightly.

He had seen Susan who was unreasonable, brazen, and selfish. It could be said that she had

maximized the evil of human nature. He used to reckon that she was hard on Maisie because of the

patriarchal values. Unexpectedly, David was not much better.

It could also be said that she thought she had treated David well, thus she got mad when he didn't take

her side.

Parenting was not that easy.

Parents should not only be nice to their children but also set an example for posterity in the aspect of

who they are and how they act. If their words and deeds are perverse or criticized, their children will

naturally dislike them.

It cannot be helped if children absorb their deviant values. However, David and Maisie just received a

good education and got positive values. As a result, the contradiction between them and their parents

became more acute

"Let's go home first. I'm just about to tell you something." After pondering, Ezra started the car and

drove away.

Ezra intended to tell Maisie that David was crushing on a girl because he thought David couldn't go on

like this any longer. He shouldn't let go of his beloved, even never be in love or get married due to his

parents. It didn't help.

He hoped Maisie could try to persuade him to keep away from such parents. He should think of his own

happiness.

Certainly, he didn't mean that David should disown his parents, either. Instead, he ought to support

them but tried to stay away from them. It was improper for him to miss his own happiness because of

his parents.

After they arrived home, the dinner had been there, and Daisy had helped Maisie tidy up the messy

kitchen. The three sat down and dined.

After she finished, Daisy led the child away from the dining room, then Ezra said, "David falls in love

with some girl."

Maisie was surprised at first, and then she asked, "How do you know that?"

As his elder sister, she actually knew nothing about it.

Ezra said, "When you were studying abroad, was there a girl called Shania who chased him all the

time?"

Maisie nodded, "Yes, she impressed me because of her beauty and good temperament. Also, it was

said that her family was super-rich."

Then she puzzled, "But David just told me seriously that he didn't like her at all. Besides, as we

mentioned the girl, he showed a look of impatience. I thought he really dislike her…"

As Maisie recalled the girl called Shania, she just shook her head remorsefully, "I was so naïve. There

was no way that he didn't like such a smart girl."

"At that time, he told me that they were totally different in the family background; he didn't appreciate

her mannerisms; they didn't share the same values, and they were bad for each other."

"He also said that Shania just barred his way to class and gave him a gift in public, chasing him overtly

without regard to his feeling. You know what? He said she was spoiled."

"Well, in short, it seemed that Shania was good for nothing from his words. Then I believed in that

nonsense."

"I think he didn't really mean to what he said. He just hid his affection for Shania and showed that he

didn't like her at all on purpose so as to make her back out and reassure me."

"Actually…he had a deep feeling of inferiority, thinking that he didn't match Shania," said Maisie. The

rim of her eyes started to burn as she felt bad for her young brother.

She knew the feeling of loving someone, and she even knew more about the pain of suppressing this

feeling to death. She had experienced it from Ezra, an unreachable man whom she had unrequited

love for. It was really hard.

"Indeed, he is so self-contemptuous that he simply keeps his beloved deep in his heart," Ezra replied

gently.

Feeling her eyes brimming with tears, Maisie wiped them away with her hands.

"He doesn't want to know this. Thus, I could have him calm down last night."

When Ezra was saying that, he stood up and came to Maisie. He just sat across from her at the very

beginning.

He tried embracing the sorrowful girl, and she didn't hold back, sobbing softly in his arms.

"He has talked negatively with me that even though he got married, his wife would be frustrated

because of his mom. Hence, he simply decided not to be in a relationship with anyone."

"I always thought that it was because he didn't meet someone he loved, so I never persuaded him."

"I've never expected he…" Maisie just felt too bad to continue her words as she thought that David had

kept suppressing himself these years.

But Ezra was very delighted since Maisie was in his arms.

He hugged her tight and comforted her gently, "Don't be sad. I choose to tell you this because David

needs to change. He has no need to stoop so low because of your selfish parents."

Maisie left his arms and said, "He must be hurt this time as my mom made such a scene. After he

comes back, I will persuade him to consider his own happiness."

"That's right," said Ezra, who achieved his goal of telling Maisie this matter.

Maisie added, "But if David gets over it, will Shania still wait for him?"

It had been four or five years since they returned home from studying overseas. Shania, such a great

girl, might have gotten married.

"Of course not. I hear that she will get engaged next month," Ezra didn't mince his words.

Now that Shania was about to get engaged, she must have forgotten David. He didn't stand any

chance no matter how persistent he would be.

But Ezra mysteriously said, "Well, not necessarily. At least, he should tell her his affection for her first."

Not all marriages were for love.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
