Maisie’s already messed-up mind was even more messed up when it was hit by Ezra’s pleadings. She felt almost panicked.


    “You should go to work.” She said and was about to leave when Ezra pulled her back again.


    But this time, he pulled harder and Maisie bumped into his chest, his arms closed tightly around her waist.


    Ezra came close, and almost uttered with his mouth resting on the corner of hers, “You know, Maisie. You are a coward. You’ve been running away.”


    It was as if all her little secrets were lying bare in front of him. Maisie was so annoyed that somehow, she managed to push him away and fled the scene.


    On the other hand, Ezra let out a long sigh and went downstairs.


    He admitted that those words were harsh. But Ezra was afraid that if he didn’t push her, Maisie would always parry.


    Not long after Ezra left, Emilia called Maisie that she wasing to see Maisie with her two children, which made thetter so happy.


    It was Julian who sent them here. Meanwhile, Julian paid a formal call on Nancy. The harmonious picture of Julian’s family left Nancy with many thoughts.


    When could her son have such a happy life with Maisie?


    Since Julian had work to do, he left early. Emilia, together with her two children, stayed and chatted with Maisie and Nancy.


    Nancy was quite absorbed in taking photos of the three children.


    Emilia and Maisie were all worried that she would strain herself. But Nancy said, “People of my age enjoy watching children y together. Don’t worry about me. Just enjoying your conversation.”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    “Although I look slim and weak, I’m really tough. Taking photos for them is really nothing for me.”


    Then she returned to her photo shooting. She used to take photos all day of old, sometimes even taking for hours without having a break, so that she and little Ezra could have a ce to live in and food to eat.


    Now though she had certain fame and didn’t need to work so hard, it was not an easy job to be a photographer after all. She needed to stay ready and strong. And taking photos of several children wouldn’t strain her at all.


    When there were only Emilia and Maisie in the room, Emilia asked her, “How’s your n going?”


    Maisie said, “I’ve handed in a lot of materials. And several dayster I’m going to apply for a visa.”


    Emilia gazed at her, with reluctance in her eyes, “Maisie, I really hope you could stay here.”


    Maisie too was sad, “I don’t want to leave you either.”


    Emilia added, “Is there really no way for you to stay?”


    In case Maisie thought she was helping Ezra persuade her, she exined, “I didn’t say this for Ezra’s sake. I said it for my own sake and yours.”


    “Now Jean lives in Zoshalor. Nina’s always shooting. When you were in Grafstin, I felt so lonely. You know, a lot of things are not supposed to talk to a man.”


    “If it’s possible, I really hope you could stay in Riverside City. In that case, we could hang out regrly, chatting, eating, and ying with our children.”


    Emilia’s description was also something Maisie wanted. She hoped to have a friend of mutualnguage. Now that they both had children, they had moremon topics.


    But…Maisie didn’t want to be entangled in Ezra’s life. If she stayed, this thing could never be ended. His son was here. Ezra could easily appear in her life again by simply saying that he wanted to see his son.


    At the same time, Maisie had to admit that she wavered.


    Emilia was really an important and precious friend to her. And the images she described of them going out and ying with their children were indeed tempting.


    Maisie was already confused by Ezra’s former speech, and now with Emilia’s persuasion, she almost made up her mind that she was not going abroad.


    Why not stay in Riverside City? If she could continue to work in the Hughes Group, she would be more than willing to make contributions to Julian’spany. If not, she could just find another job. With her ability, it wouldn’t be a problem to raise her son.


    Thinking of that, she could not help giving Emilia a huge hug, “Then I will stay.”


    Emilia was thrilled, “Really?”


    Maisie loosened and added, “Sure.”


    She added, “It’s truly hard for me to leave you guys.”


    “That’ll be great.” Emilia had so filled with happiness that the corner of her eyes went red. “I’m going to send the message to Jean and Nina.”


    As she was saying, Emilia took out her phone and was about to send it to their chatting group, but the next minute, she stopped and said, “I should tell Julian first.”


    Seeing the bewildered face on Maisie’s face, Emilia said seriously, “Actually, before I was here, he told me to ask you if you want to return to the Hughes Group and continue to be his assistant?”


    “Of course, based on the premise that you choose to stay in Riverside City. If you insist on going abroad, he told me not to ask.”


    Maisie said, “Sure I would love to. But hasn’t he already had a new assistant?”


    The Hughes Group meant so much to Maisie. If it was not for those incidents, Maisie was supposed to spend her whole life there.


    When she proposed to resign and leave the city, Julian sent her to take charge of a branchpany. Since he had aplicated daily routine, which was tooplicated for David alone, he promoted another assistant.


    But this time, the new assistant was a man, for Julian wanted nothing to trouble Emilia.


    Emiliaughed, “Not all assistants are aspetent as you, especially if the assistant is to handle Julian’s work.”


    “He hasined numerous times of how his new assistant failed to follow his pace. And you know, a male assistant is not as scrupulous as a female one.”


    “What he means is that if you’d like to return to the Hughes Group, he would feel more assured for you to take this job. It will probably be a salvation for the new assistant, too.”


    “Of course, I’d like to,” Maisie said without hesitation.


    “But I think I owe so much to Mr. Hughes. You know, me leaving anding back.”


    Julian and the Hughes Fund had been a great help for Maisie and David. But her incessant personal business and the changing job really caused many troubles for Julian.


    Emiliaforted her, “There’s nothing to feel sorry about. We all know you don’t want that.”


    If it was not for the rtionship with Ezra, she wouldn’t trouble herself so much.
