Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Michael immediately shook his head when the thought crossed his mind. What was he just thinking? Did he want to insist that the Twins had similar names to him just because they were named Raphael and Gabriel?

The three of them did have the name of angels, but Michael was sure it was just a coincidence.

Maybe Sarah named them from angels' names because they were the angels who had been watching over her all this time.

She didn't know what had happened to Sarah over the past 6 years, but Michael was sure it wasn't easy at all.

Michael's thoughts were interrupted when he heard Raphael's voice calling him an old man. As usual, that little brat's tone was not sweet at all!.

Michael then immediately stood up and walked over to the boy and Sarah because they needed batteries for the remote control.

After handing it over, Michael smoothly immediately moved and sat next to Sarah, then watched the mother-son's interaction.

Michael's face involuntarily smiled at the way Sarah interacted with her son.

He had known from the start that Sarah would make a good mother, and he had just witnessed that.

Raphael, who usually sounded annoyed when talking to him, became softer when he spoke to Sarah. Michael didn't even think that little brat could speak so sweetly.

Not long after, Raphael had grabbed the remote control and started the car, his face looking happy, which made Michael happy to see that.

Sarah, who was smiling watching her son play with a happy face, suddenly realized that at this time someone was sitting beside her.

She then immediately turned around and was surprised when she saw Michael's face. They were too close!

Michael, who realized he was being stared at by someone, immediately turned to Sarah.

Their eyes met.

Michael's heart immediately beat fast. After so long, that woman could still make him flutter like this!

"Ahem," Sarah cleared her throat and quickly averted her gaze. "Let's talk outside." Without waiting for an answer from Michael, Sarah immediately left and walked towards the balcony.

Michael took a deep breath, trying to shake off this pounding feeling. He moistened his dry lips, then immediately stood up after Sarah.

Sarah immediately tucked her hair behind her ear as the night wind brushed against her face, her gaze then turned to the city view which had changed slightly since the last time she saw it, but it still made her feel at peace.

Not long after, Sarah immediately turned when she felt Michael walking towards her.

"What is it?" asked Michael, suddenly starting to feel nervous. Did he make a mistake?

"Don't you like me buying presents for the Twins?" Michael asked. That was all he could think of at the moment.

Sarah shook her head.

"No. Thanks for the presents, but please don't give it too often," Sarah said sincerely. "And not expensive."

Even though as a father he should have given something to his child, Sarah did not want her children to be too spoiled with presents from Michael.

"I see… Alright! I got it!" Michael replied, nodding.

At least Sarah didn't stop him from doing that at all. That is enough.

"But that's not what I wanted to say," Sarah said when she saw Michael was about to go back inside.

"Ohh..."

"Let's talk about some rules! After all, we're going to live together now," Sarah said with a serious expression on her face.

She purposely asked Michael to talk outside so the Twins wouldn't hear their conversation. They were already at the age of understanding what she was saying, so Sarah had to be careful.

Michael's expression was slightly surprised when he heard Sarah's words.

"Okay, Mommy!" said Michael, suddenly imitating the Twins.

"Michael! I'm serious!" said Sarah angrily.

Unlike six years ago when she lived with Michael for pretending to be his wife, now the two of them had no relationship at all. So according to Sarah they should make some rules.

But Sarah really still couldn't believe that she would cohabit with her ex-husband again.

Michael chuckled at Sarah's behavior.

"Okay! So what are the rules?" Michael asked, sounding serious.

"First, I told the Twins not to play on the second floor anymore. That's your area."

"I have absolutely no problem if they want to play on the second floor," said Michael, who slightly disagreed with the rules.

He had told Sarah beforehand that he would use the room on the second floor, but that didn't mean he would forbid Sarah, or the Twins, to go to the second floor.

Especially after interacting with the Twins today, he wanted to play with them.

"You're not planning to ban me from going to the first floor, are you?" continued Michael suddenly as the thought crossed his mind.

Sarah was silent when she heard this. That was the plan.

Michael is on the second floor, they're on the first.

"You must be joking. On the first floor there is the kitchen and the dining table! Where do you want me to eat?" asked Michael, looking disbelieving that his guess was correct.

"Are you planning to eat here?" asked Sarah, looking surprised.

"Why not?" Michael asked back. "We can have breakfast and dinner together. Just like we used to." Michael fell silent as he realized what he had just said, his face suddenly turning awkward.

Sarah also fell silent when she heard that, not expecting Michael to discuss what had happened between them.

"I mean, I should at least eat at home too, right?" Michael hastily explained, his tone sounding awkward.

"Why do you think that I should make food for you?" Sarah asked coldly.

"Ah… then, I'll hire a chef like before. Later he will prepare the food for us," said Michael with a smile.

Sarah sighed when she heard what Michael said.

"Michael! Looks like you misunderstood, we just live together, not family!" Sarah said, trying to remind Michael of their current state.

She had followed Steve's advice to let there be a male figure in the Twins' lives, but that didn't mean Sarah was going to let Michael suddenly sit down with them at the dinner table.

He was indeed the father of his child, but they were not family!

Michael was silent when he heard Sarah's words. The woman had just given him a fact, a bitter fact.

True, they are not a family.

"What's wrong with that?" asked Michael suddenly.

"What?" Sarah's brow furrowed when she heard Michael's question.

"We're not family. I'm not your husband and the father of the twins. But what's wrong with eating together?" Michael looked Sarah straight in the eye. His expression looks sad.

"Even the students who live in the dorms have to eat together even though they don't know each other. So what's wrong with us eating together?"
