Don't Want to Split

Chapter 30 - The Replica Of Ezra

Their journey home passed with a normal atmosphere, the conversation flowed smoothly around the growth and development of their two children. When viewed from the outside, everyone would think Ezra and Zefanya's relationship is good. A couple were on their way home talking about children with happy faces. There is no awkwardness between them.

Ezra spoke while continuing to drive his sports car into the mansion. Beside her Zefanya couldn't help but steal a look at her husband. Ezra's hard jaws from the side displayed a masculine, handsome and dashing figure. Zefanya suddenly felt thirsty. Yep. Thirsty about her husband's hugs and kisses, she wants Ezra's fingers to touch her again. Take her flying into the night where they give each other love.

'God! You are really crazy!' rebukes Zephaniah's conscience when he finds himself still craving Ezra.

From her seat, Ezra gave a smile when she realized that Zefanya had stolen a glance. But he pretended not to know.

"We have arrived, Ma Moitie." whispered Ezra near Zefanya's ear. He deliberately brought his face closer to Zefanya's face, while his hands gently rubbed Zefanya's cheeks.

As expected, Zefanya was struck. He rushes to open the seatbelt and the car door, then jumps down from the car. Then, without waiting for Ezra's reaction, Zefanya broke through the main door and continued running towards the children's room.

A servant greeted, but Zefanya only returned the greeting. Not one bit reduced his running speed. Arriving at Louisa's room, Zefanya gasps to greet the nanny - the nanny of the twins. They were all gathered in Louisa's baby room.

"Oh, Mrs Halley!" the nanny who was changing diapers turned her head and stopped her work to greet her hostess.

Not paying much heed to the nanny's surprised expression, Zefanya immediately approached the boy - his legs. He's seen Louisa before but not Louis. This was the first time they had met after being separated for months.

He looked fixed - glued to Louis' face. His son was a dark brunette similar to his in-laws. But right now, Zefanya decided not to think about anything about the resemblance.

"Hey, Louis." whispered full of longing. Zefanya's eyes looked at the baby boy lovingly. Now he understood why Ezra said he looked like he saw a replica of the Zephaniah in Louisa because even now, Zephanya seemed to see the little Ezra in Louis.

"Good day, Meilissa, Suzzie." said Ezra, who had just appeared from behind Zefanya. He immediately greeted the two babysitters - his son. The friendly-faced woman greeted her master politely. Meilissa brings Louisa closer to Zephaniah and Ezra.

Jean who stood next to Zephaniah raised Louis so that his position was closer to Zephaniah with the aim of Mama the child he cared for could see more clearly.

"Louis is more reserved than Louisa, Madam. But when hungry, he will be very active babbling. For other things, your son is more silent and attentive. Every time she shuts up, her expression is really similar to your husband, Mr. Halley."

Zefanya gasped with the explanation of her son's nanny. For the past five months, it was this woman before him who took care of his son. Being a mother to the child she conceived for eight months, because they were born prematurely. The memory that he only had time to take care of his children for one month made the jealousy bubbling in his chest.

Suzzie knew more about her son was natural, but the jealousy was unbearable. Zefanya's hand uncontrollably grabbed and held Louis tightly. The smell of baby lotion mixed with milk feels so pleasant, it permeates Zefanya's sense of smell.

Zefanya's eyes widened, looking at the fat baby boy with reddish round cheeks. This is his son who had undergone treatment in an incubator because his heart rate was weak. Recalling Louis's struggle against death at that time, Zefanya could not help but kiss his son's cheek.

He again showered Louis with a kiss and pinch - a pinch of anxiety on every part of his plump body. The baby was silent, only his clear eyes were staring at Zefanya curiously. The gaze that made Zefanya's eyes feel warmed, her melancholic side touched. His son did not recognize himself.

Not wanting anyone to see her tears dripping, Zefanya buried her face in Louis's stomach. Apparently the movement surprised Louis who immediately cried loudly.

Surprised by Louis's cry, Zefanya fixed her cradle position. He held Louis in a standing position, leaning against his chest while patting his back, trying to calm the baby boy down.

"I'm sorry, Mama. Sorry, Mama. You're surprised, aren't you?" he said slowly while holding the baby in his chest. His hand now rubbed Louis's head, trying to persuade him to calm down. "Mom just missed you too much, dear."

But Louis was shocked. He cannot be calmed.

"Actually the young master was hungry, Madam. He'll be upset if the food comes too late. It's okay, Madam. Let me feed him." Suzzie tries to cheer up Zefanya who seems to start panicking.

Words that should be entertaining turned out to make Zefanya sad. Her nanny knew more about her son than she did, her birth mother.

Understanding Zefanya's feelings, Ezra kissed Louis' head. "Please eat with your nanny, Boy. Papa and Mama will follow along with your sister" he said, as well as giving Suzzie a code to take Louis from Zefanya.

Despite not witnessing the birth of his son and twin daughter, Ezra knew who was born first and who was last because he knew the whereabouts of Zephaniah and her baby, Ezra immediately found out everything related to the twins. After that he brought his children back to the mansion.

Intensive care was given to Louis who was not as healthy as Louisa and now his son was even able to winia firmer than his daughter.

Zefanya's jealousy was slightly lessened when she saw that it was not easy for the nanny to calm Louis down before feeding him. Sensing Ezra's rubbing on her hair, Zefanya immediately turned her attention to Louisa.

"Oh, Louisa. You're so pretty." Zefanya cupped her little daughter's face with both hands and kissed her cheeks covered in food. Apparently Louisa had eaten first, and almost finished a bowl of broccoli that had been mashed.

Louisa reached out to Ezra like someone was asking for help. Ezra approached and took Louisa from her dining chair. Instantly the baby girl thrust her head into the neck of the father as if seeking refuge.

Zefanya trying to attract the attention of Louisa, he circled the father and son while trying to invite play peek a boo. But the baby was frightened and started to sob.

Zefanya's shoulder was broken and looked at Louisa with a look of despair.
