Chapter 58

Florence cleaned the house and made lunch in preparation for Ezra's arrival. Her husband helped her by keeping the children entertained. She was surprised her husband accepted to meet Ezra and even opted for him to meet in their house with their children.

A doorbell rang, and Florence what she was doing to answer. "I'll get it!" Paul said since he was in the living room playing with Lily and Lincoln.

When he opened the door, Ezra was standing there holding wrapped gifts and nervous. "Good afternoon, sir," Ezra said politely.

"Good afternoon," Paul said, smiling weirdly. "You must be Ezra," he said.

"Yes, and you must be Florence's husband," Ezra replied.

Lily and Lincoln popped out from underneath Paul's leg. "Papa, who's this?" Lily asked out of curiosity.

Ezra looks at the children with the same curious eyes. "Honey, is it him?" Florence shouted from the kitchen.

"Yes!" Paul shouts back. "Come in," he said to Ezra.
