"That doesn't matter. I'm not demanding three meals a day from you; an occasional meal is all that we need. You are so good at your work, so there is no reason you should not come into your own."

"I didn't see that coming that you are so reasonable and considerate." Maisie cast a glance at him.

Most men are male chauvinists to some extent who wish women to devote more to family over work, and so did Ezra in theory. He did not lack money; he should demand women's devotion to family but now he chose to support Maisie's career without reserve. Maisie was kind of moved.

She would not give up on her career for anything because she knew well the importance of women's careers. If Ezra forced her to choose family over career, chances were that she would give up on him but not her career.

Of course, Ezra was not the target here: any man who demanded Maisie quit her job would not win her agreement. Men were far less important than careers, which was the consensus among Emilia Jones, Nina, Jean, and her.

"Have I ever been unreasonable? Am I the kind of man who only believes in women's value for the family? Ezra grunted and grabbed her hand suddenly.

Maisie withdrew her hand snappishly from Ezra who jumped at every opportunity to take advantage of her.

He clinched to her with his intact arm lest she escaped when they need to mingle with others.

It was under pretext that he held her hands in front of people; now they were in private, so he did it on purpose.

"Well, you are a good man who respects women." Maisie was going to leave with that perfunctory response.

"You can't gloss it over like that! It seems that I am truly unreasonable." Ezra grabbed her again and protested.

"You have to tell me 'Who' I really am in your eyes!"

"Well…" Words failed Maisie.
