There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Maisie arrived early at the hospital to take Julian's place.

Now she was too tired to think about loving someone. Work, child, and taking care of David were enough for her to forget those heartbreaking moments.

After Julian left, Maisie fed David some gruel and went out to get herself a cup of coffee.

Since David had slept after having a simple breakfast, she slowed her pace on her way back.

Riverside looked so beautiful in autumn. When one walked on the road covered with yellow fallen leaves, one could hear it rustling.

Maisie was wearing a long oatmeal-colored coat, which she preferred to wear when the weather turned cold because it made her feel secure by covering her tight.

Luckily, her height had enabled her to look gorgeous in long coats of any color and any pattern.

But the good mood, which hadn't happened to her for long, was ruined in a few minutes when Maisie noticed Erika standing in front of the hospital from afar.

Maisie frowned, for she didn't suppose Erika came for her, since Maisie had long broken up with Ezra. But Erika's wedding with Ezra was also canceled, why would Erika come for her?

But on the other hand, Maisie's instinct told her Erika came exactly for her.

Anyway, Maisie continued her own way calmly, with a cup of coffee in her hand. After all, whatever will happen happens.

But when Erika was closer, Maisie found Erika was wearing the same clothes as her.

Well, it was a bit awkward, for Erika.

Maisie was quite confident that her coat suited her well. But Erika, she was too short. Maisie had no idea what prompted Erika to make such a decision. Maybe Erika thought it was the style? But it only highlighted how short she was.

Erika strode to Maisie and said in an intimidating tone, "You are Maisie, aren't you?"
