Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

After successfully making Gabriel feel better, Sarah immediately stood up with Gabriel and was ready to leave the room. Sarah's expression was slightly surprised when she saw that Michael was actually there, witnessing what had happened.

"Sarah, I'm sorry," Michael said suddenly as his eyes met Sarah's.

"What?" One of Sarah's eyebrows rose, indicating that at the moment she didn't understand what Michael was talking about.

Michael didn't answer right away, he glanced at the door to see if Gabriel was out or not, then looked back at Sarah when he saw no sign of the child.

"Because of my presents, the Twins got into a fight," Michael said quietly, his face looking guilty.

"Ahh…" Sarah opened her mouth when she heard the meaning of Michael's words. "It's okay, you don't have to feel guilty. It happens quite often," Sarah said casually.

Michael was a little surprised to hear that. The Twins fought a lot?

"I mean, you did buy the same RC Car toys, but it's a slightly different model. One can play a song, while the other can't. Maybe that's the reason Raphael is interested in the other car."

Michael's mouth opened when he heard Sarah's explanation. He indeed just saw how cool the model car was and thought that the Twins would love it.

He didn't expect that one would have a song function, while the other one didn't.

"I should have bought the same model," Michael muttered a little regretfully.

"It's okay. Actually, you can buy different gifts, but don't let the difference be too obvious," Sarah explained gently.

She herself didn't know why she would explain things like this to Michael, but seeing the man feeling guilty like that made Sarah want to explain, that Michael doesn't need to feel like that anymore.

Michael nodded in understanding when he listened to Sarah's explanation. It turned out that taking care of the child was not as easy as he imagined.

Tonight Michael got a new knowledge, and his admiration for Sarah grew.

After feeling there was nothing else to do. they were talking, Sarah immediately came out and headed to the kitchen to make dinner for her and the Twins.

While Michael decided to go upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.

After he finished showering and changing clothes, Michael was silent in his bedroom. Should he go out and go downstairs? Or is he should hiding here because of Sarah and the Twins having dinner?

In the end, Michael decided to leave the room and went downstairs. He had to show himself and let Sarah know he was here too.

Maybe she would give him some food and invite him to have dinner with them.

"Ohh… you guys eating?" said Michael pretending to be surprised when his gaze had caught sight of them.

He then casually walked towards the refrigerator and opened it when he got there.

Michael was silent there, it wasn't because he was confused about what to get in the refrigerator, but he was waiting for Sarah to take him to dinner.

"Old man, why did you open the refrigerator and get nothing?" asked Gabriel looking at Michael as he chewed his food. "Mommy said it would break the refrigerator."

"Ahh, uncle wants to take some fruit!" said Michael then hastily took the apple that was there and immediately headed to the sink to wash it.

Every now and then Michael glanced at Sarah who was sitting with her back to him, hoping that she would turn around and invite him to eat with her.

"Why do you keep looking at Mommy, old man?" This time it was Raphael who asked, his tone displeased.

Why does the old man keep staring at his Mommy?

"No, I didn't see your Mommy," Michael said, shaking his head. He then finished washing his apples then walked into the living room and sat on the sofa that was there.

Michael's gaze occasionally glanced at Sarah, the woman seemed to be eating her food as usual, and didn't see the look in her eyes at all.

"She's really stubborn!" Michael thought, pouting his lips. He thought Sarah would at least give him some food, but she really sticks by the rules she made!

Michael sighed and tried to comfort himself not to be so sad. At least tomorrow they will eat together!

"Good morning!"

Sarah, who just came out of her room, was immediately surprised to see Michael who looked fresh while placing a glass of coffee on the table.

Sarah's gaze then turned to the dining table with four plates on it.

"Would you like coffee, tea or milk? Oh yeah, the Twins drink milk in the morning, right?" asked Michael looking excited.

"What are you doing?" Sarah asked, looking at Michael. Her facial expression was confused.

"Today is Saturday, we will eat together according to the rules," Michael said with a smile.

Sarah's lips parted when she heard that. She forgot that today was Saturday! She didn't expect them to eat together so soon.

"So what do you want? Coffee? Tea? Or milk?" Michael asked again with a sweet smile.

***

A few minutes later, the four people who had started living together since yesterday finally had breakfast together.

The smile did not stop on Michael's face when he saw the Twins eating voraciously.

He wasn't the one who cooked the food, because he had hired a chef, but watching them eat heartily made Michael feel happy and proud.

"Raphael, don't just eat the sausage, you also have to eat the tomato," Sarah scolded when she saw that her son didn't touch the tomato at all.

The menu this morning is quite good, it is bacon and eggs. It also comes with sausage and roasted tomatoes.

"I ate my tomatoes, Mommy," Gabriel said, then stabbed his tomatoes with his fork and showed Sarah.

After seeing his Mommy staring at him, Gabriel immediately put the tomatoes in his mouth and chewed it.

Sarah reacted seeing Gabriel and told Raphael to eat the tomatoes too.

"No! Tomatoes don't taste good! I hate tomatoes!" said Raphael, shaking his head.

"Why don't you try it first? It's delicious. Look, Gabriel finished the tomatoes," Sarah said softly then pointed at Gabriel's plate.

Raphael turned to his brother and saw that his plate had no tomatoes.

"These tomatoes are delicious, Rapa," said Gabriel nodding, trying to help his Mommy.

"Then you can eat my tomatoes! I don't like tomatoes!" said Raphael, shaking his head.

Meanwhile, Michael was staring at the scene with a strange look, he even stopped eating his food when he saw Raphael who was refusing to eat tomatoes.

It wasn't because he was surprised that the boy was such a picky eater, but because it was very familiar.

He also… didn't like tomatoes.
