Chapter 835 Why Didn't You Dodge it?
"Oh, poor Maisie! It turns out she has been abandoned!"
"Oh gross! She's putting on airs all the time to look elegant and capable. But she just turns out to be a
sluttish mistress."
Maisie didn't say a word. She just pursed her lips and let her mother beat and scold her, and let her
colleagues tease and taunt her.
Maisie had never imagined that the harshest curse on her was from her own mother, who had given
birth to her and raised her.
She thought her mother disliked her and had been mean to her only because they lived in a patriarchal
family. She also believed that her mother knew her well enough that she would never be a mistress or
ruin others' families.
She was with Ezra then, though they weren't properly and perfectly matched. They had kept their
relationship from the public, but she didn't do anything wrong to hurt anyone or ruin anyone's marriage.
But her mother heard the scandal from nowhere that she was kept as a mistress by the sugar daddy
and unfortunately, her mother just took it to be true!
It had totally freaked her out.
Ezra and David looked really bad the moment they saw what Maisie was suffering. And David simply
stepped forward to pull Susan off Maisie and reproached, "Enough! Stop it, mum!"
And Ezra just pulled Maisie into his arms and said helplessly, "Why didn't you dodge it?"
Maisie closed her eyes slowly in his arms and wet his shirt with tears.
Ezra could feel she was weeping quietly without making a fuss, and it tore his heart out.
With it, he glanced around the onlookers and they could feel the tension in the room.
"David?" Susan was shocked to see David there, "Why are you here?"
Before David said anything, she got mad again and told David off, "You knew she had a baby long ago,
didn't you, you little bastard!"
"You just hold it out on me for her? How could you do that to me?"
Susan was about to make another scene on it. But a tough and sharp voice came into her ears all at
once, "Shut up!"
Susan was scared and looked at the man.
She had never cared about Maisie and naturally, she didn't notice Ezra had pulled Maisie into his arms
just now. All she could see and care about was her darling boy, David.
Now she saw Ezra and Maisie in his arms. She got confused.
She was wondering why her boring and old-fashioned daughter was protected by such a handsome
guy.
Ezra was disgusted with Susan. He didn't care if she was the senior or what. He just knew that she had
terribly embarrassed Maisie and made her tremble all over.
Yes. Maisie was trembling all over in his arms at the moment.
At first, Ezra wondered why Maisie didn't reject his touch today. Later he found that she was trembling
severely. Probably, she was too weak to push him away.
She must be freaked out since her own mother had humiliated her in public like that.
Seeing Susan was about to make a fuss over it again, Ezra couldn't take it anymore and stopped her
sharply.
"Maisie has never been a mistress to anyone. I am the father of the baby. We had a serious
relationship with Maisie back then but later we broke up for some disagreements on the matter."
"I wasn't there for her from her getting pregnant to giving birth to the child because I didn't know she
had carried my baby after we broke up." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Ezra glared at Susan and warned her seriously, "I don't know where you heard the rumors, but I do
hope I'll never hear those crap again!"
After that, Ezra glanced around the onlookers and warned them, "I'll sue you if anyone of you dares to
defame her again!"
Ezra was really furious when he heard Susan cursing Maisie like that.
Kept by a sugar daddy? Forced him to divorce his wife and marry her by carrying his baby deliberately?
What the fuck were these? He would be very happy if she really wanted to marry him with a child!
"You..." Susan was about to act up again when she heard Ezra was the father of the baby.
David simply covered her mouth and dragged her into Maisie's office, "Can you shut up now, mum?"
The onlookers left one by one since Susan wasn't there and Ezra had warned them seriously.
"Are you OK, Maisie?" Ezra asked Maisie in his arms in a low voice and was going to hold her back to
the office.
Right after he had finished talking, he found Maisie's legs softened and falling down to the floor. Then
he carried her immediately. He realized Maisie had passed out when he saw her eyes closed.
"Maisie!" He called out her name but she didn't reply. He carried her in his arms and ran out.
"What's wrong?" David heard the sound from the office and ran out to ask with concern.
"Maisie has passed out. I'll take her to the hospital."
"I'll call the cab." Ezra pressed the elevator button for Ezra and went downstairs with them.
"Hey, David!" Susan was left behind and she was really bewildered. She wondered why no one cared
about her now.
Should her darling boy David stay to keep her company?
Ezra was taking Maisie to the hospital. David was worried and he wanted to go with them but Ezra
stopped him.
"You have to go back and keep an eye on your mother, in case she asks for troubles again." Ezra got in
the car and warned him, "You'd better talk with your mother and figure out why she came here to make
a fuss today. Someone must have put her up to it!"
Ezra's words enlightened David. Ezra had made a point of it. How could his mother know about the
baby? Maisie and David had kept it from her for so long that Susan couldn't learn the truth by herself all
at once. Someone must have told her about it deliberately.
Whoever let the cat out of the bag must know his mother well. The person must have fanned the
flames and exaggerated the facts to piss his mother off.
"I see," said David. Then Ezra rolled the window up and told the driver to take them to the hospital.
In fact, Ezra knew who did it. Only the women like Dianna and her daughter would come up with such a
bad idea to embarrass a woman and get her into trouble.
Ezra smiled coldly and took his phone out. He was going to get her into trouble so that she wouldn't
pick faults with Maisie again.
He had warned her. Enough is enough.
But Diana didn't listen to him.
He wondered if Diana would be happy if she got to know that her husband had been cheating on her
with her bosom friend.
