A Couple of Ex
13

Meanwhile, in a luxurious room, he was pensive to himself, the luxurious room that used to be heaven to him, now felt like a prison.

After the divorce, and the doctors allowed Andre to be brought home, Stella and her two sons returned to the family home, and Richard, the cold man did not even allow the twins to meet Alex, either, Richard really did not accept Alex's treatment of Stella.

Now that Richard was beginning to show his claws, he was their papa's replacement, then Richard would not be lenient to someone who dared to hurt his family.

Stella receives word today that Richard has enrolled himself to attend imperial college London, along with his twin brother Steven.

Stella did not expect Richard to decide that alone, without discussing it first.

Well even after father Kenzo died, there was a mother and twin sister Stella who currently settled in England.

He heard clearly the conversation between Richard and Alex this afternoon, but Stella did not dare to fight Richard, she was too afraid, coupled with Alex's betrayal while still undergoing their marriage first, made Stella just dare to eavesdrop, without showing any face at all.

Stella knows Alex must be very tormented because he could not meet his two sons, Stella remembers how Alex used to spoil the twins, even on his day off he prefers a day playing with his two sons, Stella, than to go out.

Although after being remembered again, Alex did all that, to cover up his affair with Anindita.

Stella's heart still felt squeezed when she remembered it, a painful betrayal, raw deceived by her own husband, but she also hated herself because deep down, Alex's name still settled there.

Stella hugged her knee more and more, now she felt alone, hurt her heart and her feelings, because her love ran aground unrequited.

... ✨✨✨...

A few days later, Stella was shocked by the court's subpoena, for a child custody hearing.

Stella didn't think Alex would do this.

Richard tightly squeezed the summons, "How dare he fight me," Richard's face flushed with anger.

Then, he walked quickly, snatching his cell phone.

"Sir .. What do you want?" stella panicked.

"Call that bastard," replied Richard in flames.

"Don't you brother, we'll talk about it well, I don't want any commotion, pity the twins if they have to get involved in the problems of the adults around them,"

Richard was still silent not flinching, Hisya also approached her husband, "Look first pa, Stella is right, we should not fuss about this, because we also have to think about the psychological growth of children, children, they'll be victims if both parents fight,"

"Let me talk to Alex, let us have a discussion, about how to parent a child" Stella said.

"Don't try to meet that guy, I don't like it, you're close to him again" Richard snapped.

Stella was really not brave anymore if Richard had spoken out loud, her brother would be even more terrible if his emotions were rising.

"But Alex has a right, brother, he's papi the twins,"

"After all this, you're still defending that man? huh uh?" Richard glared sharply, how angry he was, because his sister was still in love with the man who had betrayed her.

"That's not what I mean, I just ... "

"Next week of your departure, bring the twins, there is a mother and nanny who are ready to help nurture the twins during your college,"

Richard simply cut Stella's sentence, without giving Stella a chance to speak.

Stella approaches the twins who are playing with their nanny.

The two Nannies have been with the twins since they were born.

"Mother why?" ask Ima, nanny's kevin.

"His fire twins want to fight for custody,"

hearing that, Ima was silent for a moment, she herself was confused as to what to say.

"Darling you've finished eating?" tanya Stella, who deftly cleaned Andre's face using wet tissue, then changed her clothes with clean clothes.

When Andre tilted his face, Stella saw clearly the stitching marks that just a week ago were perfectly dry, it seemed like Andre had a keloid* talent like his papi, because the scar looked a little prominent.

Stared at his face Andre, clear eyes make Stella pity on his two children.

"father," said Andre, Stella was surprised to hear Andre's babble, was her son missing their papi? oh Stella really feels sinful to her children, they must miss her papi.

Before long Kevin also walked limped up to him, because later they did not meet Alex, they both look more possessive on Stella, usually Stella always shared the task with Alex, when they were possessive on him, "pi .. " said Kevin.

"Did Mommy's son miss papi?" stella whispered to both.

Now the two boys seem cool playing on his lap, sometimes they stand up and back to sit and laugh together, Stella smiled mirisily to pay attention to the behavior of the twins.

"What are you thinking?" ask Nisya who just came home from Riana's school.

"It looks like the twins miss their papi brother,"

"Isn't he? later aunty will also miss you, if you leave," Nisya moved Andre to his lap, then kissed his nephew's anxiety.

"Should I have met Alex? it seems pointless that if I spoke to Richard's brother, he would be upset that I was talking about Alex."

"Hem .. that's how your brother is, my advice you should meet and talk with a cool head, don't involve emotions, solve your problems, before your departure."

Stella nodded in understanding, it seemed like she was starting to know what she should do now.

"Excuse me ma'am, there's something I need to say" Eni sat down in front of him.

"What's en?" Ask Stella.

"I want to say goodbye" he replied slowly.

"Pamit, where are you going?" stella asked in wonder.

"Not that ma'am, I want to resign, because my sister has finished High School, my father told me to go home, so I can get married soon" he replied embarrassedly.

"oooh mom, where do you think you're going, you're not papa, but just next week?"

"Yes ma'am, ga papa, I can wait until little master finds a new nanny,"

Ima who was still there suddenly approached, "Mom, I suddenly thought of something, but sorry if I was presumptuous,"

Ima was silent for a moment, and Stella patiently waited for the next sentence.

"It's a good step if Alex's mother and father share the twins' parenting rights."

**Keloid is a scar that grows abnormally. The keloid grows beyond the boundaries of the injured skin, making it appear widened and like a bulge on the skin.
