Don't Want to Split

Chapter 33 - Stay With Us Forever

Zefanya closed her eyes firmly, not only pretending to sleep but also forcing herself to fall asleep. Staying awake and sleeping side by side like this will only make things more complicated.

But it was hard to sleep under Ezra's sharp gaze. Although his eyes were closed, Zefanya could feel that Ezra was watching him. It is almost impossible for the battery - the man did not know that he was pretending.

In Zefanya's heart felt jealous of his children who could just go to sleep without burden. While he had to endure second by second under Ezra's sharp gaze, before finally falling asleep. The man was waiting for him, looking for the slightest sign if - if Zefanya had heard his words earlier.

But Zefanya is smart enough to play, he did not give the slightest response. He remained silent and continued to pray for strength to endure Ezra for the next twenty-seven days. Slowly but surely, the tension of his body began to disappear changed with the arrival of drowsiness.

Some time later, Zefanya awoke from her sleep. Something heavy felt overstretched his hips. Her instinct as a mother felt that it was one of her children. With his eyes half closed, Zefanya fumbled to make sure if his son was there.

As soon as his hand touched a thick tuft of hair, his Zefanya immediately pinched. His eyes were wide open looking at a head that was too big for a baby. Zefanya really had to refrain from squealing in shock, somehow their position could be like this.

Zefanya gawked, looking at her sleeping position that had faced Ezra who was also fast asleep. He remembered - remember what he had done while asleep earlier. She could have hugged Ezra or anything she didn't realize. Naturally, he and Ezra brought each other closer, closer and embracing each other, the things they used to do first. Ezra's arms are possessively wrapped around his hips and he cannot be denied that it feels very comfortable to sleep in Ezra's arms.

The next surprising thing was that Zefanya's hand was holding Ezra's head and shoulders. Geez, their position is so in-team that Zefanya's heart is pounding at the thought of what's going on with them right now. Not yet after the panic that hit Zefanya, the door to the room suddenly opened. Meilissa tilted her head inside to look at the condition of their foster children inside. His gaze met with Zefanya's shocked highlight.

"Ups! I'm sorry to interrupt, madam" he said, pulling his head as fast as lightning and closing the door again. Usually children sleep alone in their rooms, so at this time he does not feel the need to knock on the door.

Who would have thought before him was emblazoned with an in-team scene of a couple, which should be personal. He accidentally saw them. The husband and wife were sleeping in a hugging position. Her hostess with a messy blouse that had come out all from the skirt she was wearing. Meanwhile, her husband's one arm was on the thigh of his woman with the position of the skirt exposed.

Struck by her babysitter, Zefanya felt her cheeks heat up in embarrassment. Meilissa must have thought no - not about them, hopefully the girl doesn't like to gossip.

'But isn't it natural for a couple to do something like this? After all for Meilissa and everyone, they are a legal married couple in the eyes of God and the country?' Zephaniah tried to calm himself. Well, at least to this day they are still legitimately recorded as husband and wife.

'yes... It's okay if you don't know the truth, Zie! You are not husband and wife but brothers! This kind of thing should not happen and should not be repeated!' rebuking the other side of his heart with fire, reawakened his guilt.

'Oh! Then how do I live out the remaining thirty hearts of his covenant with Ezra? I'm not sure I can keep avoiding physical contact Zefanya complained while crying inwardly. He was really tormented by this kind of situation.

The cry of one of her children surprised Zefanya, she panicked. Behind his back, Louis looks angry because he woke up suddenly because Zefanya's back nudged him hard. The shrill voice woke up his sister. For a moment Louisa opened her eyes wide in surprise, then joined in crying. And now the twins are crying together.

Confused and regretful about ambushing Zefanya, the woman got up to her feet as fast as she could. Unfortunately, not fast enough to avoid Ezra. The man awoke as he felt his Zefanya slip from his embrace. Plus the sound of crying twins who managed to make his eyes more wide open.

For a moment Zefanya was nervous to find the look of Ezra's eyes that seemed to mock her who had managed to fall asleep.

"Isn't your sleep comfortable, Ma Moitie? I haven't slept this soundly for a long time" said Ezra softly, but it felt piercing. A smile of victory was engraved on his waking face. Stay handsome and charming.

Zefanya shuddered in horror. Once again Ezra had already managed to defeat him, and it seemed like it would continue to be so. Wrong with his thoughts, Zefanya grabbed Louis who was crying louder than Louisa. While Louisa? The baby girl cried while inching towards where Ezra was lying. Ezra immediately grabbed and patted - his clap was soft and as usual Louisa would be calm in the warm embrace of the papa.

Zefanya put Louis on the table to replace the diapers that are already full and replace them with new ones. Louis was still crying, so Zefanya gave him a bottle of s-u-s-u and pet him. At first the boy refused. But as the s-u-s-u dripped on his lips, he instantly devoured them greedily. Apparently she's thirsty too.

"I'm sorry mom, Louis. Mama didn't wake you up on purpose." Lirih Zefanya full of regrets

Slowly - Louis' land calmed down in his Zephaniah sling until he finally stopped crying.

The atmosphere of the room was so quiet, the twins' cries were calm. One rolled over - bolster in a baby box and another on a mattress layered in a thick blanket on the floor. Zefanya busied herself with dirty diapers and some stuff scattered on the baby table.

After believing Zephaniah can overcome his son, Ezra takes Louisa and holds her.

"You were with Papa first, Sweety. Your mama's busy taking care of Louis. After your brother is done, then Mama will change to take care of you. Ok?"

Zefanya smiled in relief and nodded in agreement with the words Ezra said. But the relief did not last long, Ezra's words further made Zefanya feel tensed extraordinarily.

"Because Mama will stay here, with us and forever." Ezra said firmly, with emphasis on every word.
