The atmosphere at the dining table became silent again. The two of them just stared at each other.
However, even though right now Michael's facial expression looked calm. His brain was trying to figure out what topic of conversation he should talk to Sarah about.
He still wanted to be with her, if only for a few seconds, before Sarah returned to her room.
"Oh right, why don't you allow the children to swim?" Michael asked suddenly after he found a topic he could talk to Sarah about.
Although again he could only talk about their children, it can't be helped, right now his brain can't find other topics of conversation besides talking about their children.
"I already told them they can swim tomorrow. Is there something that prevents them from swimming?" continued Michael.
He'd been in a hurry to say that because the Twins were interrupting him, but if there really was something serious, like allergies, then Michael had to follow Sarah.
Sarah parted her lips, then shook her head.
"It's nothing serious. I forbid it because they can't swim," Sarah explained.
Michael's brow furrowed when he heard that. The Twins can't swim yet?
"Really? You're a great swimmer though," Michael said quietly, not at all expecting Sarah to not teach the children how to swim.
"I tried to take them to the pool once, but it was very tiring and I couldn't teach and supervise them at the same time."
Michael's mouth opened when he heard that. So that was the reason Sarah forbade them to swim.
"Then now we can teach the children how to swim," Michael said with a smile. "You have me now."
Sarah was a little surprised when she heard the last sentence that came out on Michael's lips.
Actually, she initially doubted that Michael wanted to play the role of a parent, especially since she knew how active her children were, but after today, it seemed like Michael could take care of the children well.
She could rely on him a little bit.
"Okay," Sarah replied, nodding her head.
A smile immediately appeared on Michael's face. He couldn't wait for the four of them to spend their time in the pool tomorrow.
Looks like after a long time, the swimming pool will be used again.
"By the way, what did you do for the children to get so close to you? They even call you uncle," Sarah asked curiously.
Michael immediately looked back at Sarah when he heard that, then formed a smile.
His mouth then opened and told Sarah about the pocket money.
"You should have seen how they look when they say they have no money. They are absolutely adorable!" said Michael excitedly when he told her about it.
Sarah just smiled at the story. She could see Michael's face was happy and it relieved Sarah. Michael seemed really happy when he was with the children.
"Oh yeah, when do you intend to tell the Twins that you are their Father?" Sarah asked suddenly curiously.
Michael's facial expression immediately changed when he heard that. The smile was no longer visible on his face.
"Soon. I want to be careful and not rush about it," Michael replied trying to bring out his smile which this time looked sad.
Sarah nodded at that. She could sense that Michael didn't seem confident enough to say that to the children.
"If you feel ready, I can be with you to say it," Sarah said, trying to let him know that she would be with him. After all, she was also guilty of putting Michael in that difficult position.
"Thank you," Michael replied with a genuine smile.
There was silence between them again, making the situation a little awkward.
"Then..." Sarah then put her hands on the table, and prepared to stand up, wanting to quickly go to her room to sleep.
"Shall we go on a date?" asked Michael suddenly.
Sarah's buttocks, which had been lifted five centimeters from the chair, immediately sat back down when she heard this. Her face looks surprised.
"What?" Sarah asked, thinking she heard him wrong.
"Shall we go on a date?" said Michael repeating his words. "Today is Saturday night, and the time… is still half past ten," said Michael after looking at the time on his cellphone.
"Eh?" Sarah looked surprised, not expecting that she had heard wrong.
Going on a date, with Michael, now?
"That..."
"Come on, you said you'd give me a chance. The children are asleep too, right? We can go on a date," Michael coaxed excitedly.
He could sense that he had run out of topics to talk to Sarah, and from her behavior, Sarah looked like she was about to go to bed.
However, he still wanted to continue to be with Sarah. Unknowingly he spouts out anything he can think of right then and there, and date is the only thing he could think of.
Michael was just about to smack his brain that didn't think well, but it didn't seem bad at all because Michael could see that it could get him together with Sarah.
Sarah still didn't answer, she bit her lower lip again when she heard Michael's words. She did say that. However, going on a date with Michael?
She had never imagined that when she agreed to give Michael a chance.
"Please? We can go to watch a movie night, or… Ah! How about we go to the night market street which is nearby? Two years ago there was a night market street nearby, and it seems like a pretty popular place," Michael said excitedly when he found a suitable activity for their date.
"It seems like?" asked Sarah who caught the uncertain words from there. "You've never been there?" he continued in confusion.
"I don't want to go there alone," Michael said honestly. "And now I have you. We can go together."
Sarah snorted at that, but she couldn't hide her smile when she heard that.
"Please? The place is just near here. We can go there on foot and enjoy the night air at the same time?" said Michael who was still trying to persuade Sarah when he saw that the woman seemed interested in it.
"Okay, I'll get ready first," Sarah said, nodding her head then immediately stood up and headed to her room.
Hearing that, a wide smile immediately appeared on Michael's face. He then quickly headed to his room which was on the second floor to change his clothes.
Once in his room, Michael immediately went into the walking closet in the room and looked at his clothes. He took a shirt or t-shirt several times, and looked at his appearance in the mirror, then shook his head.
Why do all his clothes tonight look so shabby? Looks like he should start paying attention to his clothes again because from now on he will be going on a lot of dates with Sarah.
In the end, Michael chose to take a black polo shirt and match it with khaki chinos, then immediately combed his hair back and didn't forget to spray some perfume.
After feeling that his appearance was okay, Michael immediately went downstairs to meet his date tonight.
