Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 210 Great Mom

Michael stared at the scene in front of him with his mouth slightly open. His face looks surprised.

After letting out a scream that could beat the cry of a dolphin, Sarah immediately approached her sons who stopped crying because they were surprised to hear their mother's scream.

Sarah then immediately took the remote control, the object that became the reason her sons were fighting, then looked at her sons sharply.

"Sit down and raise your hands!" Sarah ordered firmly.

The twins who wanted to continue crying, immediately changed their sitting position to the Japanese way of sitting with their legs folded, then raised their hands.

Crying sounds escaped their lips and tears rolled down their adorable cheeks.

"Raphael! Raise your hands properly!" said Sarah when she saw her son's hand begin to slowly descend. The boy immediately raised his hand when he heard his mother's words.

Sarah didn't say anything, she looked at her two children who were still crying and raised their hands, occasionally rebuking them when someone tried to lower their hand.

Michael, who was far behind, could only stare at the two children without doing anything. His heart ached to see those who were crying to receive punishment from Sarah, but Michael realized that he must not interrupt Sarah.

Sarah was disciplining her children, and he had no right to rebuke the way Sarah disciplined them.

After about five minutes, the longest and most painful time for Sarah, Sarah took a deep breath and then immediately shifted into a kneeling position and spread her arms wide.

"Come here, hug Mommy," Sarah said softly, her facial expression softening too.

The twins who had become calmer, immediately stood up and hugged Sarah and then started crying again.

Sarah hugged her children for a long time, stroking their backs, hoping it would calm them down, then after a while, she let go of the hug and kissed her children on the lips one by one in turn.

"You know why Mommy punished you?" Sarah asked after seeing the two of them calm down a bit, though Gabriel was still sobbing.

"Because we had a fight," both answered almost in unison.

Sarah smiled inwardly when she heard the answers from her children, it seemed they had grown up so they knew why they were got scolded

"Mommy told you before, right? You can play alternately. If anyone wants to play the same toy, ask nicely. If your brother doesn't want to give it, you have to respect him and wait until he finishes playing."

"If your brother wants to borrow your toy, you have to lend it to him for a while, let him try it too so that later you can borrow your brother's toy too."

"Ask nicely and don't use your fists again. You understand?" Sarah asked, ending her advice.

The two children nodded in understanding.

"Now hug your brother and say sorry," Sarah continued, ending her explanation for the night.

The twins then looked at each other, both looked reluctant to forgive before finally Raphael who opened his arms and hugged his brother. Gabriel returned the hug, but the look on his face was still reluctant.

Sarah sighed when the two had finished hugging, "Now you guys can go back to playing and don't fight anymore," Sarah said then put the remote control on the floor

She then walked towards the kitchen to get a drink for her, trying to calm herself who was also carried away by emotions. She didn't expect her to scream like that.

Seeing the remote control that was placed on the floor, Raphael immediately took the remote.

"Can I play with this?" asked Raphael looking at Gabriel, his face as adorable as ever.

"Yes," Gabriel said quietly then immediately stood up and headed towards his bedroom.

Meanwhile, Michael's mouth was still open seeing what had just happened in front of him. He didn't expect that on his first day living with Sarah and her sons, he would witness something like this.

It made Michael feel a little guilty, the two children quarreled because of the present he gave.

However, Michael had to admit how Sarah taught her sons , even though she had screamed earlier, she didn't hit them. She can even make her sons  understand why they are being punished, and not forget to hug them.

"Ohh… he went to his room," Michael muttered under his breath when he saw the Blonde go straight to his bedroom and didn't come back to play.

It makes Michael wonder why the boy went to his bedroom? Does he want to go to sleep?

Michael, who was curious, immediately moved his feet to go to the room Gabriel had just entered. His face was shocked when he saw Gabriel was already lying on the bed while covering his body with a blanket.

"What are you doing?" Sarah asked when she saw Michael standing in front of her son's room with the door slightly ajar.

"He went to bed," Michael said and then opened the door again to show Sarah.

Sarah sighed when she saw the sight, her heart ached. She then immediately touched Michael's hand, telling him to shift slightly so she could go inside, and immediately entered when Michael shifted slightly.

Michael's face looked confused at this, he then decided to come in and stood not far from the bed.

Sarah then immediately sat on the edge of her son's bed, her hands placed on her son's body which was covered by the blanket.

"Is Riel sleeping?" Sarah asked softly as she stroked her son's body.

"Yes."

Sarah smiled when she heard the answer from her son, while Michael who also heard it let out a laugh, before finally covering his mouth with both hands.

He's absolutely adorable!

"Really? But Mommy is very sure that Riel hasn't slept yet," said Sarah softly. "Let's open the blanket first, Mommy wants to give Riel a good night kiss."

The blanket still didn't move, but Sarah waited patiently for her son and didn't push. Not long after, the blanket was finally opened by his son.

"Is Riel upset?" asked Sarah gently.

Gabriel was silent.

"Come here," she continued and opened her arms wide. Gabriel finally got up immediately and let Sarah hug him.

"It's fine if Riel is upset. Riel can say it if you're really upset," Sarah said while rubbing his back.

"Yeah… I'm upset… It was my toy but Rapa snatched it and hit me," said Gabriel who started to cry.

"But wasn't Riel the one who hit Rapa first? Mommy saw it," Sarah said softly.

"Emm…" Gabriel was speechless.

Sarah then let go of the hug, and looked into her son's eyes. "Next time, if Riel doesn't want to be hit, don't hit someone else first, okay?"

Gabriel remained silent before finally nodding his head.

"Good boy. Let Mommy see the cheek that Rapa hit earlier," said Sarah and then looked at her son's face.

Meanwhile, Michael was silent when he saw the scene in front of him. He thought Gabriel was going to bed on his own, but he was completely wrong.

The little boy was sad and Sarah could tell right away just from watching her son go to sleep.

"She's a really great mom," Michael muttered under his breath. It seems that his feelings for Sarah are getting bigger and bigger.
