Married to Ex-Husband Boss
S2 Chapter 12

The family home of Adam.

As usual, this morning Adam and his wife and son were having breakfast together. The quiet morning made Adam feel the peace. However, he felt it for only a moment.

"Pa, later in the afternoon mama permission to go with friends arisan mama yes," said Sandra break the silence.

"Where else are you going Ma, the feeling yesterday you just went with your friends."

"That was yesterday Pa, today is different again."

"What's different, anyway you go just for shopping right. Never mind, what else you want to buy. Clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry? Everything is still there in your closet," said Adam who was getting fed up with the activities of his wife who always went abroad and spent money.

"Ck. Yes different dong Pa, if yesterday we were shopping to Singapore, and today you want to shop to Thailand. Our plan was a week in there all Pa's streets."

"No! I'm not letting you go!" Adam forbade his wife. If it continues to be followed, Sandra will be more rampant.

"You're why the hell Pa, Mama's just going with Mama's friends." Sandra became emotional because Adam wouldn't let her go. He promised his friends that he would go and he would buy a ticket to Thailand.

"Well, if you say you can't ya can't!" adam's snapping was no less emotional. "This one month you're always gone and never home. Don't you care about this family anymore? With kids who need your attention?"

Sandra turned to look at her two children who had just been quiet since then. Then she looked back at her husband.

"They're grown and can take care of themselves."

"Even so, you should still take your time for them. That's your job as a mother."

"Don't bring the duties of a mother here, indeed as a father, you have given the best for us? You never have time for this family either."

"That's because I'm busy working, anyway the money's for you guys too. And you're spending it too."

"Whoa. You are indeed the most reasonable, from the first you always use the excuse of working just to defend yourself."

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" shout Axel. He was tired of hearing the arguments of his parents. Neither Sandra nor Adam, both are the same in Axel's eyes. We can't make time for family.

"Are you not tired of constantly fighting? Why fight in front of us? Can't you appreciate our feelings?"

"The two of you are equal, equally selfish. You never care about us, all you care about is yourself. We'd rather be orphans than have parents but not care about their children."

"AXIS!" snapped Adam emotion.

"What Pa! Papa did not need to scream, what Axel said was indeed reality. Papa and mama are the same," challenge Axel.

"Axhelen. It's polite of you to speak," said Sandra.

"What kind of man do you mean? You don't have to teach Axel manners. As parents, you should set a good example for us. Not like you guys did. Axel's sick of living in this house."

With a gasp of breath, Axel let out all the emotions that had been in his custody. He was tired of being in that hell-like house. There is no warmth at all, there is only a quarrel from both parents with the problem that's it.

Axel also finished his breakfast and put on his backpack and took the sister who looked scared since then.

"Come on deck, brother take you to school," Axel asked.

With her head still down, Nayla carried her backpack and followed Axel without saying goodbye to her parents. Not much different from Axel, Nayla also felt the same way. It's just that he's not as brave as Axel who can bluntly let out his heart.

Finally that morning, the breakfast together that should have been filled with jokes and laughter and chatter between families, is now the worst breakfast in the family. Far from harmonious and happy family.

...****************...

At the store, Adam could not focus on work. He kept remembering Axel's words. Adam thought he could not be a good father to his children. Especially for Anin, her first child with Elfira. Ever since he separated from his ex-wife, Adam's fatherly duties have been replaced by others.

"Had"

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't followed my passions, maybe I would have been happy with Elfira and Anin by now" murmured Adam regretting what he had done in the past.

"When time can be turned back, I will definitely change myself for the better" he continued.

Adam was very sorry for everything he did, but it had all happened and could not be repeated. Now Adam must be able to accept the consequences of his actions.

As Adam was thinking about his past, suddenly his phone rang. A notification of incoming messages. Adam opened it, the ticket purchase transaction to Thailand.

Adam was upset with his wife who was still desperate to leave even though it was banned, even which made Adam even more upset, it turned out that his wife not only bought one ticket, but 4 tickets.

"You're really outrageous, you bought tickets for your friends using my money. Let's see Sandra, I'll get you home right now" Adam exasperated.

...****************...

In the afternoon when Adam had just arrived at his house, Sandra suddenly entered the house and was immediately angry when she saw the face of her husband.

"Mas Adam!" scream Sandra.

Adam who was walking up the stairs had to stop and turn his body and look at Sandra.

"What do you mean you're blocking my credit card? You want to embarrass me in front of my friends?" sandra Beaver with a hunting breath.

Adam smiled cynically looking at Sandra, according to her estimation. Sandra will definitely go home as soon as Adam blocks all the credit cards he has.

"Because of you, I'm ashamed of my friends. Though I promised to buy them shopping, but you blocked everything. I'm ashamed of you. They don't want to be friends with me anymore and consider me a fraud" he continued.

"Good dong. That way you no longer need to be friends with them and spend my money again" Adam said casually.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Since you became friends with them, you started to change. You don't have time for this family anymore, you always spend money to buy things that are not important. If you continue like that, my money could run out for a long time. So, before that happens, I have to block all your credit cards."

After that Adam turned and went up the stairs. But one step Adam stopped. He turned around and approached Sandra who was still silent in her place.

"One more, starting today you will only get monthly money. And hand over all your credit cards." Adam stretched out his hand in front of Sandra.

Sandra opened the bag and took out her wallet. He took three credit cards in his wallet and gave them to Adam.

Then Adam set his foot up the stairs. Today he was very tired because the order in his shop was crowded. He wanted to immediately clean himself up and rest for a while in his room.

Meanwhile, Sandra was holding back her frustration at the husband. Adam's back was getting further away.

"Bad you are. Look at it later, I'll get back at you, "Sandra growled and left the house.
