Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 284 Just A Minute



"No, it's not like that," Sarah said when she heard what Michael had just said.

"So what is it?" asked Michael in confusion.

"I have to find a school for Raphael and Gabriel."

Michael's brow furrowed in confusion when he heard the reason why Sarah didn't want to come with him.

​ "Aren't we going to see it tomorrow?" Michael asked.

"Yeah, but do you think it only takes one day?" Sarah asked, rolling her eyes.

It's not like they're just going to go shopping and then come right back! This is for the kids' school! She couldn't just choose it right away!

Michael's facial expression immediately changed when he heard that. His lips immediately formed an apologetic smile.

"But isn't two days enough? We can leave at night," Michael said trying to persuade Sarah.

Sarah was silent for a while, her brain trying to think whether it could be done or not before she finally shook her head.

"Sorry, Michael. The timing wasn't right. We couldn't go with you," Sarah said, smiling apologetically.

Michael sighed and nodded when he heard that. The expression on his face was clear he was disappointed.

Sarah could only put on an apologetic expression at the disappointed Michael.

This was the first time her kids were going to school, so Sarah was really nervous about it. She wasn't sure if she could choose the school in two days.

Two days later…

Michael who was walking towards the door carrying a suitcase, immediately turned around and looked at Sarah who escorted him to the front.

"Can't you come with me?" asked Michael in a hopeful tone.

Maybe Sarah could change her mind and go with him.

Sarah rolled her eyes when she heard the question. "You know for yourself that we haven't found a school for the kids yet."

Michael sighed when he heard that. They really haven't found the school because it rained all day yesterday and Sarah didn't want to go when it was raining.

So they just went looking for it today and haven't found a suitable school yet.

"If you really want to take me and the kids, we can go later when they're on vacation," Sarah said trying to comfort Michael.

Michael nodded when he heard that. It calmed him down a bit.

Wouldn't that mean Sarah allowed him to take them on a vacation together?

"Then I'll go first," Michael said quietly, looking at Sarah.

Sarah nodded then a few seconds later her eyes opened wide.

Suddenly, Michael pulled her in his arms and hugged her tightly.

Sarah's facial expression looked surprised that Michael suddenly hugged her and immediately changed when she finally realized what was going on.

The hug was warm, she could even hear Michael's heartbeat, or maybe it was hers. Sarah didn't know either.

"Michael, um..." Sarah said awkwardly. She could feel her face getting hot right now.

"Just a minute… just a minute," Michael asked, still hugging the woman.

Sarah just kept quiet and let Michael hug her.

This was their second hug after she met Michael again and she didn't expect her heart to beat fast.

Is it because the hug feels so familiar?

They had hugged two weeks ago, when Michael suddenly kissed her and it made her heart beat wildly. However, Sarah had never thought that just hugging like this would make her heart flutter again.

Sarah's hand that had been placed on the side, immediately lifted and returned Michael's hug.

For a moment, she wanted to hug him.

A smile immediately appeared on Michael's face when he felt Sarah return the hug and the two of them were in that position for a while.

The hug finally broke when Michael's cell phone rang, indicating someone was calling him.

"Alright! I'll be down soon!" said Michael, annoyed when he answered the call from James.

After putting his cellphone back into his pants pocket, Michael looked back at Sarah.

"Then I'll go first," said Michael once again.

Before Sarah could answer, she suddenly felt something touch her lips. Her eyes immediately opened wide when she saw Michael's face up close.

The man kissed her again!

After successfully stealing a kiss from Sarah, Michael finally rushed out with a big smile on his face.

"Mommy, where's uncle?" Gabriel asked when he didn't see Michael at the dinner table for breakfast.

"Uncle is going to China. Didn't uncle say goodbye to you?" Sarah asked confusedly. Didn't expect that her son would look for Michael.

"Ah!" Gabriel seemed to have just realized something. "Is uncle not coming back?" he asked with a sad look on his face.

"No, uncle will be back in three days!" Sarah explained.

Gabriel's face immediately became happy when he heard that.

"Why? Are you glad uncle is coming back?" Sarah asked, holding back a smile.

She knew that for nearly two months Michael had been close to the children, but she didn't expect Gabriel to look for him.

Gabriel nodded. "Yes, I'm happy!"

"But Mommy… I miss Uncle," Gabriel said suddenly with a sad face.

"Really? Okay, after breakfast Mommy will call uncle for you," Sarah said with a smile.

Sarah's gaze then turned to her eldest son who was just quietly enjoying his food.

"What about Raphael? Did you miss uncle too?" asked Sarah curiously.

She didn't wonder anymore if Gabriel missed Michael because the two of them were really close. However, what about the eldest son? She wondered if Raphael would also think the same thing.

Raphael was slightly taken aback by Sarah's question.

"A little," Raphael said shyly.

Sarah smiled when she saw her son who was too shy to admit it.

They didn't even know Michael was their Daddy, but they already missed him when he didn't eat breakfast with them.

What if they finally found out about it?

Sarah's gaze turned to the now empty chair beside her, the one Michael had sat.

It seemed, not only her kids, she also began to miss the figure of the man sitting there.

***

Sarah serves the food that has just been delivered to the dining table.

Today was Sunday, so she didn't need to cook.

After serving it, Sarah's gaze turned towards the second floor, where Michael was occupied.

Last night Michael had come home, but he went straight to his room to rest.

However, it was noon, and the man had not yet come down. He even skipped his breakfast.

Was Michael so busy with work that he forgot to eat?

"Uncle hasn't woken up yet, Mommy," said Gabriel suddenly when he saw Sarah seemed to be looking upstairs.

"Eh?" Sarah was immediately shocked when she heard that.

"Uncle hasn't woken up yet?" asked Sarah.

Gabriel nodded.

"Yes, we were waiting for uncle, but uncle didn't come down," said Gabriel sadly. "Rapa and I went upstairs and knocked on uncle's door, but it didn't open."

"Right, Rapa?"

Raphael nodded.

Sarah's brow furrowed at that. Michael didn't even open the door when the Twins knocked on his bedroom door?
