A Couple of Ex
14

Alex was frozen, staring at a flat object on his desk, it was now lit up revealing a series of names, which were not seen on his cellphone screen for a long time, this time he really did not believe his vision, for a moment he let the flat object lit up, the sound of his tone evoked the bulkhead of the longing that inhabited the bottom of his heart.

In the early days of marriage, Stella often asked her what time she would come home, because Stella was still on campus completing her college practicum assignments, or was studying with her friends.

And when the twins were born, Stella contacted her more often, because both nanny twins, equally unsuccessful to help her calm them down, when they were fussy and were looking for attention, of course, Alex would be happy to go home soon, so that he could help his wife fondle his two sons.

It was also that call that he missed.

Suddenly the call stopped, 'let's call me again, please call again' whispered Alex on his phone, not forgetting he put his palms together hopefully.

A second later his phone went off again, but not the name of Stella who was there, but the name of his lawyer, Alex snorted in annoyance.

"I hope it's an important call" Alex said.

"Schedule the hearing for you, sir,"

"Yes fine, set it up,"

"Okay, sir," the lawyer ended his call.

'Is Stella coming to the trial?' Alex has the monologue, 'I hope this can be one of my ways to be back with him, if he doesn't want the twins under my guardianship, oh my God, I miss him'.

His phone rang again, this time Stella called him back.

Not wanting the call to end, Alex hurriedly raised it.

"..."

It turns out that Alex was not even able to speak, he just pressed the green button, then fell silent waiting for Stella to speak, as well as Stella who was also silent waiting for Alex to say.

The two took a breath and ...

"Hello"

"Hello"

Speak the two together, then the same silent again.

"Sir .." Stella finally spoke again.

"hmmm," Alex responded coldly, even Alex cursing himself, why the answer that came out of his mouth was just that.

"Can you cancel that trial?" stella hesitated.

"I'm sorry, I can't, because you and your brother make it difficult for me to meet my son" Alex replied firmly.

Stella breathed a heavy sigh, "i don't want any commotion, pity the children, they'll be stuck between us."

"What can I do, there's nothing else I can do."

"I think I have a solution."

"Say."

"I'll tell you when we meet,"

"Well, let's meet now," hearing the sentence met, Alex reacted immediately.

"Not now, give me three days, I have something to finish."

"Okay, three days from now."

The call ended.

...✨✨✨...

Meanwhile, in a multi-storey building, exactly there is a fancy private restaurant, two different generations of men are now facing each other, the two are just ordering late, and do not want the other.

Richard William and Sony Geraldy.

"What does uncle want to talk about?" richard asked in a cold tone, but still tried to maintain his politeness, because the man before him was a good friend of his late father Kenzo William.

Sony smiled faintly, he gulped down his latten before starting to speak.

"Uncle you know, it's all too late, but from the bottom of your heart, uncle apologizes, for not being able to be a good parent to you and your sister, especially for my uncle's own son, Alex."

"Uncle," Richard again said, "do you know, why I didn't beat Alex up, when he was guilty of real guilt to my sister?"

Sony was silent for a moment, in some parts of Richard, very similar to his late friend Kenzo, but in the stubborn part it seemed to be downhill from his mother Marisa.

"Because I respect uncle, as papa's good friend, if I beat Alex uncle must be sad, and I know papa must also be sad if uncle is sad,"

"Thank you son, you are still considering the whereabouts of uncle, your papa must be proud to have a son like you."

Sony praised Richard, as hard as Richard was to Alex and his sister Stella, but Richard showed great respect for his late Kenzo papa's good friend.

"However, can you allow Alex to meet his son's son, that's all uncle wants, because uncle knows, if uncle asks Stella to accept Alex back, it's really not self-knowing."

Sony lowered his face, he was very embarrassed by the behavior of his son.

"Did Alex complain to uncle?" Search Richard.

"No, Alex is not like that, he's very closed, whatever happens to him, he'll keep it tight," Sony leaned his back on the chair, "But that day, it was, uncle saw Alex coming home with a lot of toys, but his face was lethargic, anyone would know what happened to Alex."

"Uncle is right, I did forbid Alex from seeing Stella and the twins,"

"But why? Alex has their papi, and the twins deserve their papi's affection, too,"

"There are my uncles, I will be their papi if necessary, even uncle, will not change my decision" Richard said coldly.

And Sony could only sigh, frankly Sony also missed the carefree laughter of his two grandchildren.

...✨✨✨...

"Should it be like that?" Stella, while she was thinking about the time of her imminent departure to London, was honestly very hard to part with her son, especially if it was only one she had left behind, it would be impressed that Stella is a heartless Mommy.

Stella reflected back on what Ima said yesterday.

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

"What does Ima mean?" stell asked confusedly.

"Ima means like this ma'am, Miss Stella and Alex have two sons, if the mother and father are not allowed to return together, and do not want to fight for custody, he said, wouldn't it be better if one of the twins went along with Alex, sir," Ima proposed hesitating.

Frankly, it was also because Ima was afraid, when Richard said that he would be taken to London with Stella and the twins, Ima was just an ordinary girl from the village, whose thinking is very simple, imagining going to live in a foreign country, really makes him creepy.

The other reason was, because both of his parents only had him one, if he went too far, he was afraid if what happened with his parents, he could not go home quickly, he was afraid, to meet them.

"Your seed may too" said Nisya at the time.

"Yes, my brother, I also thought about it, but if we propose it would Richard's brother agree?"

"We don't know yet, if we haven't tried it,"

Stella nods her head, beginning to think that Ima's proposal is worth a try.
