Married to Ex-Husband Boss
S2 Chapter 18

After learning of the affair committed by his mother, Axel took Anin away from the restaurant without having time to enjoy their food. But before that, Axel had paid for his food first.

Axel's face and attitude changed, the young man became more reserved than usual. All the way out of the mall, there was no conversation between them. Anin understood how Axel was feeling at the moment. The young man must have been feeling a deep sense of disappointment, moreover he had to see his mother having an affair right before his eyes.

Anin looked at Axel who was walking beside her, so she could not bear to see Axel who seemed to look sad.

In his grasp Axel's arm made the young man stop and look at Anin.

"Are you okay?" tanya Anin ascertains Axel's condition.

Axel looked down and looked back at Anin with a sad face.

"Lied if I said I was okay. I don't know how I feel right now. It's a jumble of disappointment, anger, and sadness."

I don't know what Anin was thinking right now, she subconsciously hugged Axel whose body was taller than her.

Axel was surprised to get such treatment from Anin. Not wanting to lose the opportunity, Axel returned Anin's embrace tightly.

"You are patient, and you must also be strong. I know what it's like to be you" Anin said, causing Axel to break out his arms.

Axel looked at Anin with a difficult look.

"I was also once in your position like this," Anin said as if understanding Axel's gaze on him.

"I'm sorry I've taken papa from you and nyokap lo," Axel said suddenly with a feeling of guilt.

"You don't have to apologize, it's just the past. What is important now is that we must live our lives well and forge the strings of brotherhood so that our family remains awake and unbroken. Now I have a papa as good as Papa Erlangga."

Axel returned moody, his little heart could not accept if Anin only thought of him as a brother. Axel wants more, he wants to be seen as a boy not as a brother. But, considering they have the same father, making Axel must be able to accept reality, although difficult.

"Axel! Oi! Even dumbly." Anin waved her hands in front of Axel's face until the young man woke up from his daydream.

"We go home, it's late in the afternoon" Anin asked.

"Gue between you and your house."

Anin nodded making Axel happy. Although only recognized as a brother, but it's okay Axel's origin can always be close to Anin. The woman who made him change into a better human being than before.

Without them noticing, there had been someone watching them from a distance. The man clenched both his hands. Anger and disappointment instantly crept into the depths of his heart.

"Not surprisingly, it turns out that you are as cheap as a girl," he murmured and left there.

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

Since seeing the affair committed by his mother, Axel really turned quiet, even at home though. It was not as usual that he would always refute whatever Adam said to him. However, this time Axel became a submissive child and did whatever Adam ordered.

Seeing Axel's change of attitude left Adam confused. He also noticed his son who had been quieter for several days. While Sandra felt lucky because Axel did not say anything to Adam. He thought Axel was on his side. Axel just doesn't want his father to know what Sandra's doing behind him. Axel didn't want to see his father disappointed.

In any case, although Axel always fight and argue, but he still loves Adam. Axel didn't want his father to be disappointed and hurt. But Axel can't hide the betrayal of Sandra for too long. Because, no matter what the rot is covered, the smell will definitely remain smelled too.

"Axhel!" call Adam to break Axel's daydream.

"Yes Pa" he answered, looking at his father.

"From earlier papa noticed you daydreaming continuously, it's rice just in a stirring. You got a problem again? Try the same story papa."

Axel did not answer, he looked at Sandra and then looked back at Adam. After that Axel pretended to smile so as not to make Adam worry.

"I'm okay, Pa, just thinking about college assignments again a lot," Axel lied while staring at Sandra with hatred.

It did not escape Adam's sight, he noticed the look on Axel's face while staring at Sandra. In his heart he wondered what was going on between his son and his wife. But, Adam also did not want to force Axel if the child did not want to be honest and tell the truth.

Finally Adam chose not to ask again, they went back to dinner without a sound. They are in their own minds.

After dinner, Axel just left without saying a word to his parents who were still sitting in the dining room.

"Nayla said goodbye to the room first yes Ma, Pa," said Nayla and immediately nodded by Adam and Sandra.

After the departure of his two children, then Adam began to open his voice and ask about the change in Axel's attitude to his wife.

"What's wrong with Axel? Did something happen to her?" adam's question made Sandra a little surprised. He looked nervous and seemed to be thinking of an answer.

"I ... I don't know. Axel has nothing to say about me" Sandra replied.

Adam squinted his eyes and looked suspiciously at Sandra. His wife looked nervous when asked. Added with Axel's gaze when looking at Sandra earlier. It was enough to prove that something happened between Axel and Sandra.

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

Inside his room, Axel was standing on the balcony smoking a cigarette in his hand. He sat on the chair on the balcony looking at the cloudy night sky.

From outside the room, Axel heard someone knocking on his bedroom door. Shortly after, Nayla's voice called out to her and asked for permission to enter.

"Bang Axel! Nayla can't come in?"

Axel did not immediately answer until the sound of knocking was heard again and followed by the voice of Nayla who called him back.

Inevitably Axel also had to scream and allow his sister to enter his room.

"Come in Nay! The door is not in the lock!"

Shortly after, the sound of the door opening and closing again, and the sound of Nayla's footsteps approaching towards him.

"Dragon!" call Nayla in a soft voice.

"Hm."

"Nayla ... can you sit here?" asked Nayla timidly.

Axel smoked his cigarette once again and then turned off the cigarette by pressing it in the ashtray until the cigarette was extinguished. After that he turned to look at his sister who was waiting for an answer from him.

Seeing his sister, Axel smiled and patted the empty chair next to him. Having obtained permission from Axel, Nayla immediately sat down next to her brother.

"What's wrong? Tumben you to Brother's room?"

Nayla looked at Axel and tried to dare to ask. "Nay, can you ask me something not the same brother?"

"What do you want?"

Nayla looked down again, she wanted to ask but was afraid that her brother would get angry.

"Ask, don't be afraid" Axel said as if understanding his sister's fear.

"Hm. Sorry if Nayla was presumptuous, Nay just wanted to ask, actually Brother again there is a problem what is the same mom?" nayla asked Axel to widen his eyes.

He wondered where his sister could have such thoughts. Axel never told anyone about his problems.

"You ..."

"I'm sorry, Nay didn't overhear my brother fighting with my mom yesterday."

Axel seemed to be breathing rough, it seemed like Axel had to lie a little so that his sister also did not know about Sandra's rottenness behind them. Axel didn't want his sister to be as disappointed as he was.

"That's okay, you don't have to think. Yes, yes, you know for yourself what your brother is," Adam lied.

"Is it because you know you're cheating on your back?"
