Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

"Yeah, Mommy, we're like playing with Sienna!" Gabriel began to whine. It had been a long time since he had last seen the little girl, so he wanted to see her.

"You can't play with her just because you want to," Sarah said firmly. The sadness had lessened a bit.

"Mommy should ask Uncle Steve and Aunt Anna first," she continued.

After saying that, Sarah stood up and went to find her cellphone to call one of them.

Sarah came back to the dining table with her cellphone and she decided to call Anna, because Steve seemed to have gone to work, considering his place was quite a distance from the hospital.

"Hello, Anna," Sarah said casually.

Michael, who continued to eat, looked at Sarah with a surprised look at how relaxed Sarah was talking to Anna.

Since when did the two of them become close?

"Are you sure?" said Sarah after hearing the answer to the question she asked earlier.

"Thank you in advance. Sorry for bothering you," Sarah said sincerely with a smile and then hung up the phone.

"How's it going, Mommy?" asked Raphael after seeing his Mommy finished the call.

"You can play there," Sarah replied with a smile.

The two kids immediately cheered when they heard this, forgetting the bad things that happened to them yesterday.

"Are you close to Anna?"

Michael's question made Sarah, who was holding her spoon, turn to the man.

"Yeah, we're pretty close," Sarah replied. "Why?"

"Ah, it's nothing," Michael replied and then looked at his food.

Even though Michael stays close to Anna, it's because of a job. He honestly still felt awkward because of the past that happened between them.

Ah. Maybe not awkward, but more like feeling bad for the woman.

After finishing breakfast, Michael, Sarah, and the kids immediately went to Anna's mansion. At first, Sarah said that they could take a cab to go there and Michael didn't have to drop them off, but Michael insisted that he would drop them off.

"Wow… Riel! Look! The leaves here are turning orange!" said Gabriel as the car they were riding entered the courtyard of the mansion. Usually, they would walk, but this time they went inside in their car.

"Yes! It's so pretty!" said Raphael who saw it on the other side of the car door.

Hearing that, something seemed to hit Michael's heart. He admitted that the view of the model's mansion was very luxurious and beautiful, surrounded by plants that seemed to be specially cared for by the gardener to make it look beautiful, and the land was so very spacious.

Anna and the doctor really spent a lot on their place to live.

However, that doesn't mean he can't do that! He could also buy a mansion like this, and it was definitely more luxurious and beautiful than this! It's just that he hasn't been able to get hold of such a large piece of land yet!

Meanwhile, Sarah's expression wasn't much different from her kids'. This was the first time she had come to visit after the season had changed to autumn and the scenery was very beautiful.

"You like a house like this?"

Sarah turned when she heard the question from Michael who was driving the car slowly.

"Eh? Ah, it looks beautiful and has a spacious yard, like in a fairy tale," replied Sarah with a smile.

Honestly, she likes it. However, Sarah knew a house like this could never be reached by her. Even if one day by chance she won a lottery that could buy a mansion like this, she would never buy it.

She had two kids, and even if Michael was willing to take care of their expenses, she'd better save the money for the kids later.

Michael nodded his head at that. "So you like it," he muttered under his breath.

Looks like after this he will have to tell James to put more effort into finding this large piece of land!

Not long after, they finally got off and walked towards the open front door, and Anna, who had been sitting on the sofa nearby, immediately stood up and greeted them with her daughter in her arms.

She greeted Sarah while hugging and kissing each other's cheeks, then greeted the twins while touching their heads, and only nodded when she looked at Michael then told them to come in and sit inside.

"Anna, I'm sorry If I'm bothering you, are you sure the kids can play here?" Sarah said feeling bad.

"It's okay, today I happen to be free. Besides, I haven't seen the twins in a long time," said Anna casually. "You two have become handsome men," she continued, looking at the two kids.

A blush appeared on the faces of the two kids with shy smiles. They usually got that compliment often, but when it was given by a beautiful woman like Anna, it felt completely different.

"Well then, Sarah and I will excuse ourself. Thank you." Michael said and stood up. He had no problem coming to work late, but not with Sarah.

Michael didn't want Sarah to be scolded by her boss because she was late.

"Oh, wait! I have something to talk to Sarah about!" said Anna suddenly stood up and stopped them. She then put down her daughter who had been wanting to get out of her arms, and went over to Sarah and took her by the arm.

"Please take care of the kids first!" Anna said to Michael then pulled Sarah to the second floor.

Sarah was still confused about what had happened, why would Anna want to take her somewhere else when she could talk about this here?

Meanwhile, Michael blinked his eyes at the two women who suddenly left him with three kids.

What should he do with this situation?

Michael's gaze then turned to the little girl who was standing with her body seen swaying, making Michael unsure whether the little girl was actually able to stand, or even walk.

However, it turned out that she was wrong, even though her step was still rocking like she was about to fall. The little girl can walk and it looks so adorable.

Raphael and Gabriel then started to approach Sienna. Gabriel seemed to be interacting with her, trying to get her attention, while Raphael just stood beside Gabriel without saying anything, but his small hand gripped Sienna's hand.

Michael just smiled at his kids' completely different interactions. What should he do with them? Are they interested in the little girl? What if they like the same woman?

Michael suddenly began to imagine what might happen in the future. His kids will fight over one woman!

Michael shook his head, just thinking about it made him dizzy. He hoped that wouldn't happen.

"Da-Da!"

Michael's gaze then shifted when he felt something touch his knee. His eyes then immediately saw who touched him. It was the little girl.

"I think Sienna likes Daddy," Gabriel said with a pout. He had been trying to get her attention, but the little girl walked over to Michael instead.

"Really?" said Michael uncertainty. He then looked at the little girl who was looking at him curiously, then suddenly let out a sweet smile.

DEG

Michael could feel his heart skip a beat when he saw that. He admits that the little girl is very beautiful and adorable, well… she got it from her mother who is a supermodel. Michael was sure, when the little girl grew up, she would break a lot of men's hearts.

However, what made his heart skip a beat wasn't her beauty, but how adorable that smile was.

He had seen the smiles of his kids, which have been adorable, but this time it felt different.

"Is it because she's a girl?" thought Michael then tried to lift the little girl which turned out to be very light.

Sienna looked calm when Michael picked her up, she then continued to stare at Michael and showed the charm she had.

It worked fine. Michael was charmed. It also made him suddenly think what if he had a daughter?

Meanwhile, on the second floor.

"This…?" Sarah asked as Anna handed her an envelope.

"Identities of the people you are looking for, complete with their photos and addresses."

Sarah's eyes widened when she heard that. She then opened it and continued to see its contents, some of the photos were indeed known to her, she seemed to see them there.

"Then this," said Anna, handing a sheet along with a photo.

Sarah took it and her eyes widened at the photo of the person.

"Who is this woman?" Sarah asked, trying to look casual.

"I did some digging, and the woman is the owner of the account that uploaded the photo of the twins," Anna explained.

"You are sure?" Sarah asked to be sure. "This information is valid, right?" Sarah asked again.

After all, the woman in the photo was the blonde woman, the woman Sarah would never forget the name, Elizabeth.
