Chapter 230 One Condition
Chapter 230 One Condition
Sarah was stunned when she saw tears spilling out of Michael's brown eyes. During her marriage to the man, and when she pretended to be still his wife, Sarah had never seen him cry at all.
Ah, she'd seen him before, at their wedding. Michael cried like a baby when he saw her walking down the aisle. It was a cry of happiness, and Sarah was glad to see it.
But right now, Sarah really didn't know what to feel when she saw Michael cry, begging her to let him be the father of her kids.
All this time Sarah saw Michael as a hard worker, always dealing with his problems alone and never showing his weak side, let alone crying. Even he didn't shed tears at all when she asked for a divorce, or even cried when he asked her to start over with him.
Seeing him suddenly show his weak side, made Sarah feel a strange feeling. Complicated feelings.
This was not the first time she had seen a grown man cry. She had seen it often while still working at the hospital when they had to lose their loved ones.
Some cried without saying anything, others cried like babies, and that always made Sarah's heart melt and touch.
Sarah took a breath. "Okay. You can be the father."
Sarah hoped she hadn't made the wrong decision again when she said this. Her life and the Twins are clearly going to be very different when she finally allows Michael to be the father.
Now, she and Michael will be tied and gonna see each other more often.
"Really?" Michael asked then immediately removed his hand from Sarah and wiped the tears that flowed down his cheeks.
He felt embarrassed, having to cry like this in front of Sarah. However, he was too overwhelmed by his feelings of imagining he had missed five years to become a father.
Sarah nodded her head, inwardly wishing she hadn't made the wrong decision again.
A smile suddenly appeared on Michael's face when he saw the nod of his head. He… has now become a father.
"Ah! You can do it on one condition!" said Sarah suddenly as she remembered what Mr Collins had done to her.
"What's that? I'll comply if I think it makes sense," Michael said with a serious look on his face.
He was actually a little disappointed that Sarah had put a condition on him, but Michael could understand her. After what had happened between them, there was no way Sarah could just let him in like that.
Michael's heart was pounding nervously as Sarah stayed silent, as if she was contemplating what to say, and waiting like this was driving Michael insane. However, he allowed Sarah to take her time and didn't rush her.

As for custody, however, Sarah knew she could never negotiate that. Michael might have told her he wasn't going to take the Twins away from her, but who would know when he would change his mind?
Michael might have kept his word, but besides Michael, there would be Mr and Mrs Collins who might want custody of the Twins and persuade Michael to get them.
Sarah would never win against Michael for custody, and she had to use this opportunity to make sure Michael would never get custody.
Michael fell silent when he heard what Sarah had just said, he thought Sarah would say something that would not benefit him, but she just wanted him not to try to take custody of the twins?
Isn't that too easy a condition? Why should he take custody of the Twins if his goal is to get back with Sarah?
Yes, he still has feelings for her. His heart pounded and he fell in love again when he saw Sarah for the first time. That was also why he was trying to get close to the Twins.
Besides being able to let Sarah know that he can be the father of the twins if their relationship becomes close, the Twins will also give their blessing if he has a relationship with their Mommy.
But who would have thought that he really was their Father!
"Okay, I'll take care of it. We can use the legal team from Collins if you don't mind," said Michael, trying to keep his expression from getting too excited about getting such an easy condition.
Sarah immediately shook her head. "I'll hire my own lawyer."
There was no way she would use Michael's men when she would use their services against Michael later!
Michael just nodded when he heard that. He told her so Sarah wouldn't have to spend money to hire a lawyer, but it was okay if she wanted to hire one of her own.
The atmosphere between them then became quiet, the two just stood and stared at each other with a fairly close distance.
Michael subconsciously moistened his lower lip, suddenly becoming a little nervous at this quite dangerous distance. Especially this morning Sarah looks quite tempting with her hair still looks wet.
Unknowingly, Michael's head slowly gets closer…
"I'll tell the Twins about you soon," Sarah said then walked to the kitchen to get something in the refrigerator.
She could feel her face heat up and her heart beat fast. Was Michael trying to kiss her?! That's really crazy!
After all, why did she have to pretend to go to the kitchen and not just avert her face to show that she refused?!
Michael just smiled awkwardly when he saw Sarah leaving like that. Looks like he's totally crazy for thinking about kissing Sarah after they just had an argument and he just burst into tears!
"Ah! About that… Actually, I don't want you to tell them," Michael said quietly and looked awkward.
"What do you mean?" asked Sarah, who was spilling the water in her glass.
"That… Raphael doesn't seem to like me that much. I thought I had to get him to like me first before telling them I was his daddy," Michael explained.
In contrast to Gabriel who was getting close to him and didn't even mind asking him to fix his toys, Raphael still acted like a fierce puppy and would bite him if he tried to touch him.
"Ah!" Sarah opened her mouth at that. "Okay. After all, you have two months."
Michael just smiled at that. Yes, he only had two months to get Raphael's heart, and also Sarah's.
After talking about the rules about eating together that must be changed, Michael finally immediately left his apartment.
Now that he knows that he has two sons, he must do something to protect them!
