There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Hearing the noise made by Ezra, Daisy hastily introduced Ezra to her son but got stuck in explaining the relationship between Ezra and Ezio. "This is Mr. Ezra Cantillo. Ezio is his…"

Daisy wasn't sure if she could tell the truth to her son, so she turned to Maisie.

Maisie was frank about it, answering. "Ezio is the son of Mr. Cantillo."

Carl greeted him civilly, "Nice to meet you. Mr. Cantillo."

"You are a student of the Criminal Justice Department?" Ezra asked him with little emotion.

Carl replied with a smile, "Yes. And this year I am a junior."

"Good for you. You have a bright future ahead." Ezra complimented him, though not genuinely.

Maisie didn't know if Daisy and Carl detected the sarcasm in his tone, but she could feel it and was not comfortable with it.

So she overlooked it and invited Carl with a faint smile. "How about going to my place and having a cup of tea?"

Daisy turned down and said. "It is inconvenient for him to go to your apartment. I will have him wait downstairs beforehand when you need to go out."

Daisy knew perfectly well that there was a social distance to be kept between a male and female who were strange to each other. Except for Ezra and David who visited unexpectedly lately, only Maisie and she lived in this place. David was fine to come in as Maisie's brother; Carl should be fine to come in as her son. However, Maisie had no connection with Carl. So Carl should keep his distance from Maisie who is a single woman.

Maisie was a couple of years older than Carl, but others could still gossip about their relationship. So Daisy instructed Carl to keep a distance and be a responsible bodyguard.

Maisie didn't reject seeing Daisy persisting in it.

"I am getting changed to meet my mother. You could continue to chat with Carl." Maisie said to Daisy and Daisyreplied with a nod.

Maisie stopped him and said, "Mr. Cantillo, didn't you want to spend more time with your son? I think it's a good opportunity to play with your
