Don't Want to Split

Chapter 42 - A Trick

A 'Muse Cheat'

"Yeah! Don't worry. My husband misses me too. Of course I have to get back in his arms."

Louise's innuendo felt sharp in Zefanya's heart, indirectly she had already expelled Louise. Whereas before Zefanya who asked - ask her brother to come and accompany her in the mansion.

"I'm sorry, Louise. I don't want to part with you yet but my marriage is my own business. Please don't interfere." asked Zefanya in despair.

He looked sadly at his brother. Louise was just trying to think about what was best for her. Her sincerity as an older sister need not be doubted regardless of Louise's current tough attitude towards her. Zefanya will certainly feel sad when Louise leaves the mansion tomorrow.

"No! I will continue to interfere because what you're doing is wrong, Zie." Louise refused firmly.

In his view, there were no significant problems in his sister's household. Ezra was the best man he had ever known. No other man could understand and pamper Zefanya as well as Ezra. Louise was envious but she was happy there was a man who loved her sister that much.

Holding back the overflowing emotions, Zefanya took a breath to ease the tightness in her chest. No one understands him. Neither Louise nor Auntie Laura, all side with Ezra.

"You're all the same. Do you know why I ran away from you at the time? The answer is because no one will support my decision! I regret talking to you." growled Zefanya while gritting her teeth.

"More of me. I'm so sorry to come here and keep you company. Again I tell you." Louise paused for a moment and breathed in air. "And you will regret it one day." Louise added again full of emphasis.

'S-i-a-l!' verily, Zephaniah in heart.

With overflowing emotions, Zefanya walked back towards the mansion while pushing the carriage of the twins. His sudden movements jerked his two children. They were surprised and started to whine but Zefanya ignored him.

Not wanting Louise to catch up with him, she walked quickly towards the mansion with the twins who started crying out but Zefanya did not stop in the slightest. His mind was already too dizzy thinking of how to avoid Ezra, he did not want to add to the painful conversation.

Zefanya's headache intensified when Carlos roared because he still wanted to play with Louisa. He was so strong when he wanted to be separated from his cousin. The riot was inflicted with the twins' cries until Ezra came out to help Zefanya handle their children.

"Why, Boy?" Ezra asked as he lifted his two children from the carriage.

"She won't part from Louisa." sparred Zephaniah while watching her daughter who was instantly calm in her papa's arms.

Ezra smiled and kissed Louisa on the cheek. "This beautiful princess managed to captivate my niece."

Ezra's words make Zefanya jerk, as if Louisa and Carlos will repeat the story and Ezra. His head was full of possibilities in the future for the relationship of his children and cousins.

"I'm not surprised at all. Louisa is so beautiful." praise Louise.

"Of course she's beautiful, Louisa is a copy of her Mama." said Ezra quickly. His eyes shone and looked at Zefanya lovingly.

Horrified, Zephaniah unknowingly seizes Louisa from Ezra and takes her inside. Louisa was shocked and groaned as she squirmed, the baby girl was uncomfortable with Zefanya's treatment.

Unfortunately, my mother was in a mess. He was too traumatized to think about his love story with Ezra, not wanting his children to repeat the same story and convince. In his heart he promises not to be like his parents and Ezra who let everything happen.

"Ma Moitie?" Call Ezra anxiously to awaken Zephaniah. "Your face is pale. Are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine." replied Zefanya while rushing in with Louisa still in her cradle.

"I think there's something you're thinking about." Ezra followed him and continued to notice every movement and change of Zephaniah's expression. Ezra's sharp gaze was so transparent, no matter how small a change nothing escaped.

"You must be sad to be parting ways with your brother. I've planned something fun tonight. Hope you like it."

Zefanya stopped at the door of the children's room and turned her head. "What plan?" tanyanya.

The fishing worked, Ezra smiled.

"Tonight there will be a simple farewell party with Louise. Joan had prepared the main dining room and the cook had also cooked a lot of food."

"O'yeah? Who will be partying?"

"Friends - your college friends. Your best friend in college. Louise helped me invite all of your friends, Ma Moitie. I just want you to be happy to be with them all. Have fun tonight." said Ezra sincerely. For him the smile and laughter of Zefanya is very rare these endings. Who knows the presence of friends will make his wife rejoice. Anything will be worked on by him to restore Zefanya's smile.

There was nothing more moving for Zefanya than someone who thought so highly of her. Ezra heartily throws a party for her and of course Louise will also love it. Zephaniah is so miserable, Ezra's kindness will be reciprocated with something painful later in the month.

"What time will they all arrive?" zefanya asked without being truly happy.

"There's still an hour left to prepare - ready, Zie. No need to worry about children, the servants are ready to take care of them. And I can also accompany them whenever needed. Just enjoy your show, honey."

Ezra takes over Louisa from Zephaniah, now the twins are in Ezra's hands. Louisa on the left and Louise on the right.

"Then, I'll be ready - ready now" Zefanya said directly to her room.

When his foot stepped on the large dining room where the banquet was held, Zefanya immediately regretted having followed Ezra's advice to attend the event. The atmosphere of dinner was lively with many people who knew them for a long time. Then Ezra warmly welcomed Zephaniah's presence, and stretched out his hand, which Zephaniah could not resist. They are in front of a lot of people.

Once again, Zephaniah fell into Ezra's trap. The men deliberately make the situation so that they must appear like a friendly husband and wife. This means that for the next few hours, Zefanya must play the role of a good Mistress and the terrible thing is that she is forced to let Ezra stick to her.
