Maisie did not want to have an affair with him like this, so she said straightforwardly, "Thank you for your help today. I can only brew a cup of coffee to express my thanks."

The implication was that Ezra would taste the cup of pour-over coffee today, solely because he did her a favor.

Ezra smiled sadly as he held the coffee in his hand.

Maisie was really "snobby".

But Ezra found it gloomily that he seemed to like her "snobbery" because he would not have this cup of coffee, nor the quiet time, sitting face to face with her at this moment, if Maisie was not snobbish.

So, Ezra did not say anything else but lowered his head to taste the coffee.

Maisie sipped at her coffee for a while and then said, "Isn't you busy lately?"

Maisie urged Ezra indirectly to go when she found that he had no intention of leaving Grafstin. She did not want to see him every day.

Ezra replied, languid, "I'm busy lately. Very busy."

He then added when Maisie was about to say something, "Busy bonding with my son."

Maisie then did not want to talk to him at all.

Apparently, he was teasing her by saying that.

Ezra coaxed her when he found she was on the edge of getting angry, "Hey, don't be mad. You wouldn't be like this before. It's just a joke. Don't take it seriously."

Maisie denied, "I'm not angry."

She just did not want to pay any attention to him.

She thought it over and then added, "And, I used to be like this. Actually, I'm narrow-minded and irritable. You just don't know it."
