Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 359 Date (4)

"Have the kids eaten?" muttered Sarah under her breath while staring at the food in front of her. Suddenly, she missed her two babies.

It wasn't the first time she had been separated from her babies, but she always had dinner with them. So when she saw the food, she couldn't help but think of her two kids.

"Don't worry. Dad and Mom will definitely take good care of them," Michael said softly when he heard Sarah's worries.

Sarah looked at Michael with a sad smile and a meaningfull look.

Michael sighed when he saw the woman's gaze. Even though tonight was supposed to be their night together, Sarah was thinking about another man instead.

"Okay! I'll give them a call. After this, you have to focus on me, okay?" Michael said, choosing to give in. He then slightly tilted his body and stretched his hand away from his face with his cellphone position facing him.

Sarah nodded with a smile on her face because Michael knew the meaning of her look. Well… she could actually call Mr. Collins or Mrs. Collins, but that would be awkward. So Michael better just call them.

Not long after, the faces of Mr. Collins and the two kids who were sitting on the sofa came into direct view of Michael.

"Boys, Daddy and Mommy are calling you," said Mr. Collins looked at his grandkids.

A smile immediately appeared on Sarah's face when she saw her two kids wearing pajamas.

"Mommy!" said the two kids together and immediately approached the cellphone screen.

"What are you guys eating? Is that ice cream?" asked Sarah with a smile when she saw her son's mouth covered in chocolate.

The two kids immediately looked shocked and hastily hid their ice cream behind their bodies. They seemed to immediately realize that their Mommy forbade them to eat ice cream when they were about to sleep.

"Grandpa and grandma gave this to us, Mommy. So we have to eat it," said Raphael trying to explain why he ate ice cream.

"That's right, Mommy! We didn't ask for the ice cream. Grandpa gave it," Gabriel said with a serious face.

"Really?" asked Mr. Collins who pretended to be surprised to hear that.

Both of them looked guilty when they heard that. Gabriel then immediately looked at his grandfather, and blinked his eyes, trying to give a signal for his grandfather to cooperate.

Mr. Collins chuckled when he saw his grandson's behavior.

"Oh yeah, Grandpa forgot about that. Grandpa gave you ice cream because you are cute kids," said Mr. Collins, holding back his smile.

"By the way, where are you, Mommy? Mommy looks beautiful," said Raphael who suddenly wanted to change the subject.

"Oh yeah, Mommy looks beautiful!" said Gabriel who just noticed his Mommy.

Sarah smiled at that.

"Mommy and Daddy are out," Sarah explained.

"Did you only see Mommy? How about Daddy?" asked Michael who suddenly felt alienated.

"Oh! Daddy looks cool too!" said Raphael while watching his daddy.

While Gabriel raised one thumb, indicating that his daddy's appearance was okay.

"Okay, then Daddy and Mommy will eat first. You guys listen to grandpa and grandma, okay?" said Michael who wanted to immediately end the call.

"Don't forget to brush your teeth before bed," Sarah ordered before Michael hung up.

The two kids only nodded at that because they wanted to continue eating the ice cream that they were still hiding.

After that, the phone call finally ended.

"Alright! Now you must focus on me!" Michael said with a smile on his face as he put his cellphone on the table.

Sarah just shook her head at Michael's attitude. She didn't expect that man would even be jealous of their kids.

They then continued their meal, chatting about their daily life and many things.

Until finally Michael suddenly asked a serious question.

Hmmm... I realize that our relationship is getting better, but... I think sometimes you seem to keep your distance from me, like you put some invisible barriers. Did I do something wrong?"

Sarah widened her eyes when she heard the question. Her hand took her wine glass and took a sip. Suddenly, she felt like drinking the alcoholic drink.

"You didn't do anything wrong," Sarah replied, trying to sound casual. "Why do you think so? I don't think I kept my distance," she continued.

"Sarah," Michael called desperately. He didn't think Sarah wouldn't answer him. "It's not just my feelings. I'm not that dense! You really keep your distance from me," said Michael.

Sarah licked her own lips when she heard that. To be honest, she thought she was doing well. She didn't expect that Michael would notice if she kept her distance from him.

Seeing Sarah who was just silent, Michael added.

"Why don't you want to sleep with me? I did as you asked, to do nothing and just sleep. Did I make a mistake?" he asked again.

Sarah sighed when Michael asked that. Well… all this time she had no problem cuddling with Michael, but she always refused when Michael, or with the kids, wanted to sleep with her.

"I just want us to take it slow, Michael." Sarah finally said something, even though it was still a lie.

"We are a divorced couple, Michael. Don't you think it's weird if we sleep in the same room, like husband and wife?" Sarah said with a thin smile.

To be honest, after talking to Michael in his office and finding out she had been wrong all along. Her heart was already open to Michael.

Well… even though it turned out that the man had sex relationship with the blonde woman, Sarah was able to accept the man back.

Michael didn't cheat on her. That is enough.

However, the question now was her status with Michael.

In fact, how had Michael been looking at her all along?

Is she just the mother of his kids? His girlfriend? Or what?

Sarah was completely confused.

On the other hand, she didn't have the courage to ask Michael that either.

Sarah wants to get back together with that man. Not for the sake of the kids, but because she has feelings for the man, and can see a future with him.

However, what if Michael doesn't feel the same way about her?

What if she reveals that she wants to get back together with him in a more serious relationship, but Michael just wants to date and not remarry because they've both failed before?

Sarah was scared.

So, she better say that she wants her relationship with that man to be done slowly.

At least that way, she could still be with Michael.

Michael just kept quiet when he heard Sarah's answer.

'So she really wants to take this slowly,' thought Michael and took his hand that was holding a box out of his pocket. Only, he did not take out the small box.
