Sarah looked confused when she saw Anna's friendly attitude. She was sure that even though six years had passed, she would still remember her.
But why did she look like it was the first time she had met her? Then the friendly attitude that the woman showed also made Sarah a little awkward.
"Ah, yes. Nice to meet you too. Steve kept saying that he had a very beautiful wife, and he was right! You are really beautiful," said Sarah, shaking Anna's hand and then smiling professionally.
Fortunately, her profession used to make Sarah have the skills to small talk.
Anna just pursed her lips at Sarah's compliment.
To be honest, Anna was a little surprised when she finally saw Steve's female friend. Wasn't that woman Michael's wife? Why is she here?
However, Anna immediately shook her head. Maybe they're just people with the same face. After all, six years have passed!
Anna's gaze then turned to the Twins who were looking at her curiously. The woman immediately crouched down to greet them and asked their names.
When she finally heard the names of the two children, Anna looked at Sarah. There was no mistaking it, that woman was the woman she had met before.
Anna still remembers when Steve told her that the woman he liked was pregnant with his ex.
Hearing the name of the Twins, Anna immediately knew that the ex referred to here was Michael. She didn't know why that woman had given her sons a similar name to her ex-husband's, but it made it clear that they were Michael's children.
"What kind of situation is this?!" thought Anna suddenly felt awkward.
She thought she was going to meet her husband's ex. Well… she did meet her, but that person was also the ex-wife of her ex-boyfriend!
It's not even a movie but the scenario is absolutely insane! Only a madman would create a situation like this!
Anna indeed had never seen what the woman who had filled her husband's heart looked like. She never asked, or asked Steve to show her that woman's picture. It would only make her look pathetic. Even that woman's name, she never asked.
But she never expected that she would meet Michael's ex-wife, in her own house! This is really awkward!
Meanwhile, Steve smiled seeing his wife's interaction with his friend as well as the Twins, he thought things would be a little awkward but so far everything is fine.
"Are you guys hungry? How about we head straight to the backyard?" asked Steve who was standing beside Anna.
"Yeah, we just eat in the backyard. The place is cozy and not hot! You'll definitely like it!" said Anna with a smile.
Even though this situation was completely unexpected and awkward, Anna tried to act professional. After all, they were her husband's guests.
"Okay!" Sarah answered briefly then immediately took her two son's hands and followed the couple who were holding hands to their backyard.
As soon as they reached the backyard, the twins' faces showed admiration at the sight of the vast lawn, and without waiting any longer, they immediately let go of Sarah's hand and ran there.
Sarah wanted to hide her face when she saw the attitude of her sons. She could only show an apologetic smile to Steve and Anna.
"It's okay. At that age they want to run," said Anna with a smile.
Steve also nodded and looked at the Twins who were running around happily. He often saw the scene when his daughter was also running in their backyard.
Even though the owner of the house felt okay, Sarah still called her son and held their hand to come with her.
Not long after, they were seated at a table in the garden. Sarah could tell that they used this place a lot. This place looks very cozy and it would be nice to have afternoon tea in this place.
"Emm…" Gabriel who was sitting down suddenly started to speak.
"Is auntie a Queen?" Gabriel asked suddenly, looking at Anna.
"Eh?" Anna looked confused.
"Riel! You must not speak disrespectfully to the Queen! You could be imprisoned!" scolded Raphael then looked at Anna timidly.
He didn't know if this Queen was a good Queen or not. What if it was the evil Queen?
Gabriel immediately covered his mouth with both hands, his expression immediately frightened.
"Don't worry. She is a good Queen. You won't be punished," Steve said with an amused smile.
Sarah just sighed looking at her children, while Anna looked confused, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Is that true? Thank you, Your Highness!" Gabriel said with a grateful smile.
Steve couldn't hide his laughter at the boy's adorable behavior, while Anna finally realized what was going on.
"You can't lie to a child like that!" said Anna, lightly hitting Steve's arm.
She then turned her head back to the Twins.
"We are not King and Queen. This uncle is only joking with you!" Anna explained.
The faces of the two children looked a little confused hearing this. They are not King and Queen?
"But you guys live in the Palace?" Gabriel asked. Raphael nodded in approval.
"This place is called a Mansion, not a palace." Sarah finally explained it to the Twins.
The Twins finally nodded in understanding.
"I'll buy a Mansion for Mommy later!" said Raphael with a smile.
"No, Rapa. I will buy it!" said Gabriel, not agreeing with his brother's words.
"No! I will do it!"
Hearing that, Sarah was moved, but on the other hand, she also sighed seeing her two children start arguing.
"You two can buy Mommy later, together," Sarah said, interrupting the conversation.
While Steve and Anna were just watching Mother and Son's conversation, their expressions looked a little envious because their daughter had not been able to have a proper conversation like that.
While watching Sarah explain the difference between the Mansion and the Palace, the maids came to bring their food, and the atmosphere in the back garden became a little quiet as they were enjoying their meal.
Not long after, a maid came immediately hugging their daughter.
"Baby!" said the Twins in unison, staring at the little girl who had now moved in Steve's lap, while Anna immediately fed her child with baby food brought by their maid.
"Although uncle is not a king, but uncle has a princess. How is it? Doesn't she look pretty?" Steve asked when he saw the Twins watching his daughter.
"How old is she?" Sarah asked with a smile on her face. She recalled when the Twins still had to eat baby food and had to be fed like that.
Those were her hard times when she had to take care of two kids by herself, but on the other hand it was a good time seeing how cute the Twins were.
Time really has passed.
