Attention

The three of them had been kicked out of the rented house before. So, the three of them now live in their small shop. The shop sells several types of kitchen supplies. It only measures 5x5 meters and now Mr. Reno, Eric and Zarius also have to live in the shop. Their shop sells coffee and snacks, also known as a coffee shop in the countryside.

Earlier, Mr. Reno found Zarius who was crying silently behind his shop. When Mr. Reno asked his own son, Eric got angry and didn't care about Zarius.

Eric even said that their life was difficult, but Mr. Reno actually picked up a stranger whose origins were not clear. Eric was angry about it. If his father's reason for picking up Zarius was simply because he remembered Rafael, Eric disliked his father's excuses even more.

For Eric, Rafael is not dead. If his brother died, Rafael's body would have been found at the bottom of the abyss. In fact, what was found was only Rafael's motorbike which was burned down at that time. However, Eric still believes that Rafael will return home one day. So, Eric gets angry when Mr. Reno thinks Zarius is Rafael's replacement.

That's why Eric hates Zarius so much. Zarius is a teenage boy who doesn't know where he came from according to Eric. And it's not impossible if Zarius has bad intentions towards their family. That's what Eric used to say to his father whenever Mr. Reno defended Zarius, who had not fully recovered from the severe wounds all over his body.

At first, Eric was kind to Zarius, but after a few days seeing Zarius not immediately leave their residence, Eric became annoyed. The 17-year-old boy is indeed unstable.

Eric also felt that Zarius would be a burden to their family. In fact, Mr. Reno asked Eric for money just to additionally buy medicine for Zarius.

"How? Have you calmed down?" asked Mr. Reno gently. The adult man wiped Zarius's tears that didn't seem to want to stop.

Zarius nodded like a child. Usually di never shows his tears to others, but this time it was different, Zarius could act like this to Mr. Reno.

"It's okay to cry for a man! Crying is necessary to express all emotions. If, you need a place to lean on, I'll lend you my chest, Zarius." Mr. Reno said sincerely with a smile.

"Okay. Thank you, Uncle--"

Suddenly Mr. Reno's strong hands brought Zarius into his arms again. Mr. Reno made Zarius's body bend slightly when he saw Zarius' nose suddenly bleeding.

Zarius was also shocked to see the blood coming from his nose.
