Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

"Yes, uncle loves Mommy too!" said Gabriel added. He still clearly remembered how Michael had answered when he asked that, and he had better tell his Mommy about it.

"Right, uncle?" Gabriel continued, turning to Michael so his Mommy would know he was telling the truth.

Michael cleared his throat for a moment when he heard the question. He had not at all expected that his son would help him in a situation like this. It was completely out of rehearsal and script when they prepared this surprise!

Michael then turned to Gabriel, his eyes showing that he was very grateful to his son, before finally turning to Sarah who was currently looking at him.

***

Sarah, who was touched by the answer that the twins did this because they love her, became silent when she heard her youngest child's words about Michael who also loves her.

She was grateful that Michael was teaching the kids something new, but what are they talking about till the "Uncle loves Mommy too." come out of her youngest son's lips?

Did Michael deliberately tell that to the twins? Or did the twins ask the question and Michael couldn't help but say yes?

Lately the twins are in a questioning phase, so it looks like the latter is the answer.

Well… those are children's questions. She shouldn't have given Michael's answer any further thought.

When Sarah, who had been looking at Gabriel, then heard the question from Gabriel to Michael, Sarah subconsciously turned to Michael, wanting to hear how the man answered.

Sarah's eyes caught Michael's brown eyes that were now looking at her.

"Yes, uncle loves Mommy," Michael replied and smiled sincerely.

Sarah swallowed her own saliva when she heard and looked at Michael. Isn't the answer too serious for a children's question? Then why was he looking at her with such a serious gaze and smiling sweetly like that?

Meanwhile, Gabriel looked at Michael and Sarah alternately, his expression confused at this. Why did Uncle suddenly answer while looking at Mommy, when he asked the question?

The same was done by Raphael, he who was looking at Gabriel in annoyance because his brother said something stupid about loving Mommy, looked at Michael to hear what the uncle was going to do.

The expression on his face changed to annoyance again when he saw the uncle's eyes staring at his Mommy. Isn't that a flirting look?

"Uncle, I'm hungry," said Raphael suddenly trying to get Sarah's and Michael's attention.

His little brother probably didn't understand the current situation. But he understood what was going on! He has to protect Mommy! For Daddy's sake!

Michael and Sarah were shocked when they heard Raphael's words just now. Did the boy call Michael instead of Sarah?

"Oh yeah, uncle already said we're going to eat here tonight. Just a minute," Michael said, then took out his cellphone and sent a message to the waiter who would deliver their dinner today.

After sending the message, Michael turned back to Sarah, wanting to discuss what he had just said. That he was serious about what he said.

However, Michael immediately stopped his thoughts when he saw Sarah was busy with questions from Raphael who started pointing at whatever he saw in the sights of the city, and occasionally Gabriel also asked the same.

Michael's lips smiled at how curious his children were and they seemed to like the sight too. He then decided to join them, and occasionally answered the questions that came out of his children's lips.

The atmosphere on the outside balcony had become a little calmer than before because of the dinner that had been served and the mouths of the two little children were busy chewing their food.

Sarah, who was eating, occasionally glanced at Michael who was sitting in front of her and seemed busy feeding Gabriel, whose focus was more on the view of the city beside him.

The sight warmed Sarah's heart. When they had dinner, the twins would sit side by side, and the two of them would sit side by side as well.

This was the first time they had sat face-to-face with the Twins who were beside them.

However, Michael easily adapts to being a parent who has to feed his child to eat.

To be honest Sarah had disciplined them about it, to be able to feed themselves and allow them to feed themselves even though it would be a mess.

Did Michael do that so he could be close to his child? Or is Michael just curious about what it's like to feed a child? Or maybe he did it unconsciously?

She doesn't know what was the reason Michael did that but Sarah was slightly touched by the sight.

So this is the scene when a father feeds his son to eat. They are like family.

"I really have gone mad. Why did I just wish I could keep seeing that scene?" thought Sarah immediately shaking her head.

All this time, even though they were eating together, Sarah's gaze had always been on the Twins. She knew Michael was beside her, but she didn't think much of it and managed to ignore him.

But tonight, she couldn't help but look at Michael, and in this moment he made her imagine what a family was.

Michael still loves her, the twins are close to him, Michael is also good with children.

Should she and Michael get back together?

Although she doesn't know how she currently feels for Michael, whether her love feelings are still there, Sarah is sure, if she continues to live with Michael, that love will definitely come back, because it used to come back when she lived with Michael 6 years ago.

Then… should she discuss this with Michael?

"You think Mrs Collins will allow that?"

The whisper made Sarah suddenly shake her head.

Right! Why had she forgotten such an important thing?

If she decided to get back together with Michael and they remarried, that would mean Mrs Collins would again be her Mother-in-law. Was she ready to face Mrs Collins again?

Sarah shook her head at the answer to that question.

She's not ready!

Previously, she had tried to appear strong when facing the old woman, but her hands were shaking violently. She also just found out that the old woman hated her so much that she was willing to lie that Michael was engaged to Anna.

Sarah sighed. Although she was very sorry that later the twins would be separated from their father again after Mr Collins changed his will, that was for the better.

She didn't know whether Mrs. Collins would like her children or not, and Sarah would not allow the old woman to insult her children!

"What's wrong?"

Michael's voice suddenly snapped Sarah out of her thoughts. He had been trying to feed Gabriel, but his eyes occasionally glanced at Sarah. The woman just sighed.

"It is nothing. You have to eat, Gabriel can eat by himself," Sarah said, seeing Michael's food barely touched.

"I like the uncle who feeds me, Mommy," Gabriel cut in quickly before his uncle listened to his Mommy like what he always does.

"I like seeing the view. Can uncle still feed me?" asked Gabriel who was already comfortable with his position.

He was hungry, but also wanted to see the view of the city. So Michael feeding him made it look so much easier!

Sarah looked at Gabriel, then at Michael who was now looking at her with the same look that Gabriel gave off. She sighed.

"Okay, but only for tonight. Gabriel is a big boy, so you have to eat by yourself, okay?" Sarah advised.

Gabriel nodded in understanding when he heard that then looked at Michael and opened his mouth, indicating that the man should feed him again.

The dinner then went on as usual silently. Gabriel was busy looking at the scenery, Raphael was eating his dinner, Sarah was thinking of herself, as was Michael thinking about whether he should talk to Sarah tonight or not.

"Mommy, I've finished eating," said Raphael then prepared to get down and wanted to run on the wide balcony.

Sarah who heard that immediately helped Raphael to back his seat.

"Raphael, where are you going? Don't we still have a present for Mommy?" Michael reminded him.

Raphael, who was already standing, immediately sat back down when he heard that. He almost forgot the cake!

Sarah's face looked confused. There is more present?

Michael then immediately stood up, and called his two assistants tonight to come with him and asked Sarah to stay seated.

Not long after, Sarah saw that the three had returned and seemed to be carrying something. Turns out it was a chocolate cake.

"This is for Mommy!' said the Twins in unison, placing the cake on the table. Sarah's expression never stopped smiling when she saw that.

"This is a present from me," Michael said suddenly and placed a medium-sized box on the table.
