Sarah flinched slightly when she entered Michael's room, she saw Michael was holding Raphael and that little boy seemed to be leaning on him.
Her gaze then glanced elsewhere, looking for her other son and saw Gabriel was eating while watching something on Michael's cellphone, he was too busy watching to not notice her arrival..
Suddenly, Sarah turned back to Raphael when she heard the little boy call her name and now holding out his hands while crying. Sarah then immediately took Raphael from Michael's arms and started hugging him.
Seeing Sarah's arrival, Michael felt happy, but when Raphael left his arms, it made Michael unable to help but feel lost. It really mixed feelings.
"If Raphael keeps crying, Mommy can't understand why Raphael is crying, try telling Mommy what makes Raphael sad," Sarah said softly while trying to calm her son down.
Michael looked at Sarah with a look of amazement at how the woman calmed her child. Sarah is different!
"I… I thought… Mommy… left me…. together with the old man."
Sarah and Michael's mouths opened when they heard the reason Raphael was crying.
"Mommy will never leave you. Don't ever think like that," said Sarah with teary eyes. She felt guilty for making her son think like that.
After a while, Raphael finally calmed down and he took out the candy he had been wanting to eat and gave it to Sarah. The two of them looked very close, and intimate, making Michael feel very jealous at the sight of it.
"I must have gone crazy! Jealous of my own son!" Michael cursed in his heart.
However, no matter how Michael tried to shake off that feeling. He felt something strange in his heart seeing Sarah hugging Raphael, and the two seemed to be joking and laughing together.
He must be crazy!
Michael and Sarah's eyes suddenly turned towards the door when they heard someone knocking on the door and it opened when Michael had invited him in.
That's James.
It was lunchtime, and James wanted to tell Michael he was going out for lunch.
"Mrs Co… Smith!" said James, who looked surprised when he saw Sarah was already in the room.
"Hi James," Sarah greeted awkwardly. She hadn't seen James sitting at his desk.
James's gaze then turned to Raphael who called Sarah with Mommy. He'd been wondering about the identities of the two children, but he didn't think they were Sarah's children at all.
But wait… could it be….
James then looked at Michael, the expression on his face showing whether it matched what he had in mind, Michael answered the gaze with a proud smile, causing James to open his mouth.
Michael has two children!
***
Weekend finally arrived. Michael, who had made plans to go on a picnic, and go out together, had to sigh when the weather didn't seem to be in his favor.
It's even summer, but it's been raining for two days!
So those two days they were just in the house, and he was just playing with the Twins as usual. Even so, Michael wasn't that sad at all because now Raphael was less fierce to him.
Well… he was still looking at him with an annoyed expression, but Michael could sense that their relationship was getting closer.
Monday finally arrived, as usual Michael had breakfast with them, and went with Sarah to take them to their school bus.
"Michael," Sarah called suddenly, causing Michael who had already turned around to go to his car, immediately turned around and turned to Sarah with raised eyebrows. It was unusual for Sarah to speak to him first.
"Could you spare your time at eleven to meet with my lawyer?" asked Sarah, completely forgetting to tell Michael about it.
After finding out her son thought she was going to leave him, it really bothered Sarah, and these two days she was doing her best to play with her kids.
"Okay. Just send me the address later. Ah! No, I will come get you!" said Michael then immediately turned around without waiting for an answer from Sarah.
He knew Sarah would reject him, so Michael immediately ran and pretended not to hear what Sarah had to say.
It had been a long time since he and Sarah had been alone, so maybe he could take this opportunity to be with her.
Sarah just looked at Michael who was running with a sigh, she wanted to say that they should meet at the law firm instead, but the man ran instead.
"Looks like he's too late. I'll text him later," thought Sarah as she went straight back into the apartment. She hadn't thought of Michael's other plans at all and thought she'd remind him at ten o'clock.
Sarah, who was reading the medical journal on her cellphone, immediately closed it and looked for Michael's contact to send the man a message, reminding him again about the meeting with the lawyer and the address.
However, Sarah's eyes immediately widened when she heard the apartment door open and Michael's figure appeared there.
"Why are you here? Did you forget something?" asked Sarah, genuinely surprised. She was just about to type a message to Michael, but the person had already appeared in front of her.
"Didn't you say we should meet with a lawyer?" Michael asked with a smile. "You can get ready, I'll be waiting for you," continued Michael when he saw the woman was still wearing the same clothes.
Sarah's mouth opened when she heard Michael's words, the man came here because he wanted to go with her?
"We can meet there. I was just about to send you the address."
"I'm already here," Michael said, taking his laptop that was on the living room table, then walked over to Sarah who was sitting at the dining table. "Let's go, together," Michael continued deliberately suppressing the word together with a smile.
Sarah was a little confused as to why Michael had to do this. The man had only left an hour ago, but had returned. Why did he have to waste time like this? Sarah didn't understand at all.
However, when she finally heard the word together, she finally figured out what was going on right now.
Sarah snorted. She had almost forgotten how sly Michael was. When they were dating, he always did things like this. The man knew that she might reject him, so he had come on purpose so that she couldn't refuse.
At that time, Sarah had never rejected Michael who was always suddenly in front of her dorm to ask her out on a date even though the next day she had an important test.
It seemed that this time too she couldn't resist the man too. After all, he was already here, how could she tell Michael she was going to take the bus?
After all, Sarah was sure that if she did, Michael would come with her to take the bus.
Michael just smiled seeing Sarah who came into her room without saying anything and just a snort.
His head then started to make plans, after from the lawyer's office, they could have lunch together.
Michael had a smile on his face as he imagined the plan and couldn't wait to put it into action.
