Sarah fell silent when she heard Michael's words. Michael was looking at her with a sad look, a look that was all too familiar to Sarah.
"Gosh! They really look alike!" Sarah thought as she realized where she'd seen that look from before. It looked like the look the Twins had when they were sad that Sarah didn't buy them a toy. It's like a kitten!
Actually, it wouldn't hurt if they were to eat together at the dining table, but it would be a very strange sight.
They weren't family, but they had breakfast and dinner together. Sarah didn't dare imagine how awkward it would look for her.
Michael sighed when he saw Sarah just silent. Did Sarah hate him so much that she wouldn't even eat at the table with him?
"Then, let's eat together every weekend. At the end of the week I'm always at home and lazy to go out, at least let me eat together with you guys," said Michael trying to relent and not push.
He knew that at this time he had to slow down and not rush to pursue the woman.
Wait a minute! Did he just say pursue?
He did offer Sarah to live with him again, but that was so that his father would change his will, he had absolutely no other intentions like that.
But… after seeing Sarah and the Twins again, for some reason Michael wanted to be a part of them.
He… still has feelings for that woman!
Was this the reason why he felt sad that Sarah wouldn't allow him to have dinner with them?
"Pleaseeee?" said Michael in a pleading tone.
When Sarah rejected him, Michael just walked away without fighting for his feelings.
When he finally tries to come see her at her orphanage due to the influence of alcohol and discovers that Sarah no longer lives there, he's also just trying to respect Sarah who doesn't want to see him again.
This time, he was going to be a little pushy and wouldn't go along with Sarah just like that! He had to fight for his feelings!
Sarah sighed when she heard Michael's pleading tone, just like when she couldn't resist the Twins begging like that, it seemed like she couldn't resist the grown-up version of her child either.
Michael's face immediately smiled when he saw the nod of his head.
"I'll be hiring a chef for our meals later this weekend, so you don't have to worry about cooking for me," Michael said excitedly.
Sarah just sighed when she heard that. Hopefully this time she doesn't make the wrong decision.
"So what's the next rule?" asked Michael curiously.
Sarah fell silent when she heard that, actually… that was all she wanted to say to Michael, but it seemed like the rules she made had changed a bit.
"What about you? Do you have something you want to ban or something that shouldn't be done?" Sarah asked, turning the question around.
Michael was silent for a moment, trying to think of what rules he should make.
"Ah!" Sarah immediately put on a serious expression when she saw that Michael seemed to have gotten something.
"Don't use your money."
"Hah?"
"I mean, like I said before, you can stay here for free. That includes the food you want to eat. When the refrigerator is empty, we can go shopping together and I'll pay for it," said Michael excitedly.
Unlike Michael, Sarah looked at the man like she had just said something nonsense.
Shopping together? Did the man hear what he just said?
"I can feed my son and myself! So no!" said Sarah sharply.
"But..." Michael didn't continue when he saw Sarah's gaze. He finally sighed.
"Okay, but for weekend meals, you don't have to pay me."
Sarah sighed and nodded when she heard that.
"Then the next one..."
Sarah's expression changed when she heard that, she didn't expect that there was still a rule that Michael wanted.
"No rules!" said Michael with a smile. "You can treat me as your roommates."
"If you need help, you can ask me for help. If you need someone to look after the Twins, you can ask me to do it," continued Michael who was still smiling, a sincere smile.
"I'll see later," answered Sarah, who couldn't immediately say yes to Michael's offer.
Michael just nodded in understanding. He realized that Sarah was trying to set boundaries with him right now, but at least she didn't turn him down.
It was more than enough.
Michael and Sarah's conversation was immediately diverted when they heard screams from inside the apartment. It was the voice of the Twins.
Sarah's radar then immediately went into action and without waiting any longer, her brain immediately sent a signal to her legs to run!
"What are you doing?!" Sarah shouted when she saw her children. As expected, the Twins were fighting. This time they were fighting over the remote control of Gabriel's toy car.
"I want to try it!" said Raphael, who was holding the remote.
"No! It's mine!" shouted Gabriel holding the remote and pulling it.
"Let me play it!"
"Nooooo!"
Michael, who was following Sarah from behind, stared at the scene in bewilderment. He didn't know what to do at this point.
"Raphael! Gabriel!" Sarah shouted as she stared at her sons with a death glare, her hands on her waist.
"Hasn't Mommy always told you not to fight?!"
However, it seemed the atmosphere between the Twins was too heated to pay attention to Sarah's screams.
Raphael then suddenly grabbed the remote with one hand, while the other immediately grabbed Gabriel's hand and pushed it off.
Gabriel, who was taken aback, suddenly lost his grip on the remote. He then immediately started crying.
Raphael smiled triumphantly then immediately started Gabriel's toy car, not forgetting to press the button to play the music and start moving his shoulders to the rhythm of the song.
Seeing his older brother who suddenly looked happy, Gabriel immediately stopped crying and bit his lower lip. His hands were clenched.
The boy then approached his brother and immediately punched him in the arm, hoping that it would knock the remote off and he could pick it up.
"Ouch!" Raphael groaned in pain and reflexively grabbed his aching hand, sending the remote to the ground.
Gabriel immediately smiled at that. The attack worked! He then quickly tried to pick up the remote that had fallen between his brother's thighs.
Raphael's eyes then changed when he saw his younger brother, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as well. Without waiting any longer, the tiny hand immediately shot forward and hit Gabriel's cheek.
Gabriel's cry was immediately heard as he felt pain in his face, he then clenched his fists and this time punched his brother in the face.
Sarah's eyes opened wide when she saw the scene in front of her, her face immediately turned red and her mouth immediately opened and let out a scream that could be compared to the cry of a dolphin.
