My Beloved Ex - wife
Chapter 45

Zetta stood right in front of Roan and saw clearly the wound on his face. Zetta's feelings were originally upset, now somewhat pityed because of the condition of her former sister-in-law. In Zetta's heart wondered, was Roan bullied again?

"I'm hungry" Roan said shamelessly.

"If you're hungry, why come here?" Zetta's annoyance reappeared because of Roan's words. It seems, this former sister-in-law does not deserve pity.

"I want to eat Zetta's food."

"I'm not cooking," said Zetta quickly.

"Take it now, brother, I'll just wait." Roan won't lose. He insisted on asking Zetta to eat.

"I'm not your servant!" Zetta's a little ambush. He shook his head, then passed Roan and stepped towards the door.

"Sister Zetta!" Roan quickly catches up with Zetta for fear of being left in the house.

Zetta turned her head towards Roan and let out a rough breath. He wanted to be mean, but apparently couldn't.

"Come in!" zetta said after the door opened wide.

"Thank you, Brother Zetta." Roan smiled with relief. It was not wrong that he came there, his former brother-in-law was indeed very good. Although a bit cranky, but still accept it.

"Wait here! I want to change clothes, all of you take the medicine box," Zetta said.

Roan nodded obediently. He sat quietly while waiting for Zetta who was still coming into the room. Moments later, Zetta returned in a more casual outfit. The medicine box he had brought and placed on the table, in front of Roan.

"I'll cook, treat your own wounds!" Zetta's orders.

"Good, Brother."

Roan grabbed the medicine box Zetta had provided. Then, treat the wound and occasionally grimace to hold the sore. When he finished, Roan leaned back while staring around. The atmosphere of Zetta's house is still as deserted as it was last day. Apparently, the woman was still living alone.

While waiting for Zetta, Roan remained silent in his seat. Unlike that time who was presumptuous and dared to enter Zetta's room. This time, Roan was polite.

After a few minutes, Zetta returned with a tray full of food. The aroma is very delicious and appetizing. Roan smiled with satisfaction, finally he was able to eat back Zetta's cuisine. Without waiting to be told, Roan grabbed the food and began to devour it.

In silence Zetta watched him. Roan's hunger-like eating made him delay curiosity. He stopped asking about the wound on Roan's face. Later if he's done eating, Zetta thought.

"Sir Zetta knows why I hurt my face?" roan said at his last mouthful.

"No."

"Don't want to know?"

"It doesn't matter" replied Zetta, pretending not to care.

"I slapped Mama." Roan continued to say honesty even though Zetta's response was less pleasant.

Zetta looked somewhat surprised and reflexively looked at Roan fixedly. He seemed to be in disbelief at the young man's words. During this time, Madam Brenda was very fond of Roan, it was rather impossible if she suddenly slapped her youngest son to the point of getting hurt, unless Roan did make a fatal mistake.

Not yet out of Zetta's shock, Roan spoke again. A confession that made Zetta frown even more.

"I had a fight with my mom. Mama's angry because I'm not interested in continuing the company. I don't know why Mama was so selfish. Mama forced her will, without thinking about my circumstances. In fact, it easily hit me just because of that problem" Roan continued. He gave a detailed explanation before Zetta asked for it.

"Aren't you laughing, brother? I'm serious, you know" Roan protested.

"Serious or not, but I think it's funny. Amused I heard your story," Zetta replied without stopping the laughter.

"You know that I don't have to tell you." Roan grumbled as he turned his gaze to the side.

In fact, it's not true that he told stories and asked Zetta for help, considering their relationship in the past was quite bad. However, if not to Zetta, where else would he have to ask for help?

"Who told you to come here? You shouldn't have told me anything, nor should you have come here. That way I don't have to cook for you either. Remember, your brother and I are divorced" Zetta said.

Roan remained silent. He no longer intended to answer Zetta's words. Everything the woman said was true, it was just that Roan had trouble admitting it.

"If you have, go home! I'm tired, I want to take a break" Zetta said after a long period of silence.

Roan did not immediately answer, let alone move. He looked down and focused on his bag. As Zetta was about to repeat, Roan took out a set of skin care and gave it to Zetta.

"For Brother Zetta," said Roan.

Zetta frowned. Instead of receiving the recommended skin care, he looked at Roan's face. Although the man's attitude was not as bad as it used to be, it also could not be said to be good. Zetta believes there is something behind the skin care that Roan gave her. There was no way the man would give her away for free.

"What do you want?" ask Zetta.

"Nwg ... On Saturday, Zetta's coming to my school, okay?"

Zetta breathed a rough breath, then folded her hands on her chest while leaning her back.

"If there's a problem, just tell Keenan. Don't come here! We have no relationship anymore. I don't want to help you, that's enough that I'm in your trouble." Zetta strongly rejected Roan's request. He no longer wants to deal with the Keenan family.

"This one time, brother. After that I promise I won't bother Zetta again. Please, brother?" Roan again pleaded with Zetta to back up his request.

"No way."

"Sir Zetta ...."

"You still have Keenan. He's the one who's supposed to help your problems, not me. I'm just another person who now has nothing to do with you. So, no matter how many times you beg, I still won't want to. I've had enough to deal with your family" Zetta concluded, exhaling violently.

He felt annoyed that everything related to Keenan still harassed him. Lady Brenda, Helia, and now Roan's plus. Can't they just let her go and live quietly?

Meanwhile, Roan could only shut up while thinking of the right sentence to persuade Zetta. However, shortly after his phone rang, it was Keenan who called.

"Why not get caught?" ask Zetta because Roan ignored the call.

Roan did not reply, but instantly received a previously ignored call. Roan was a bit scared because Zetta was looking at him intensely.

"Hurry out right now," Keenan ordered without further ado.

"What does Keenan mean?" asked Roan nervously.

"I know you're at Zetta's house. Get outside! I'm at the door!"

Keenan's answer made it difficult for Roan to swallow. He did not expect that his brother would know of his whereabouts and catch up with him.
