Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband
Chapter 257 The Present That Money Can't Buy"Mommy let's cut the cake!" said Raphael who sat back in his chair.
"I want a big one!" said Gabriel who also came back to his seat.
Sarah just smiled at the behavior of the Twins who looked very impatient to eat the cake. Didn't they say it was a present for her?
Sarah then immediately stood up and took the pastry knife and began to serve it to Raphael and Gabriel in turn. After the children got their cake, Sarah turned to Michael who was sitting in front of her.
"Give me your plate," Sarah said looking awkward. Michael had been through a lot today, so it didn't seem a problem if she forgets for a while her determination to never give food to Michael and serves the cake on Michael's plate.
Michael's face smiled at that and then immediately grabbed his plate and gave it to Sarah.
This was the first time Sarah would serve him food after they decided to live together again.
After giving Michael a piece of cake, Sarah immediately cut off her portion and sat back down. Her expression immediately changed to a happy one when the chocolate taste of the cake touched her sense of taste. The cake is delicious!
As Sarah was about to spoon out her cake again, she suddenly noticed another hand had just placed a box in front of her plate.
Sarah's eyes followed the hand, and stopped when she saw the owner of the hand smiling at her.
"This is a present from me," Michael said with a face that looked very awkward.
Sarah's lips parted when she saw the box, her eyes then turned to Michael again, trying to ask what that meant, but Michael had averted his eyes and focused on talking to Gabriel.
However, Sarah could see the blush on Michael's face. He seems embarrassed.
Without realizing it, Sarah smiled at that. It had been a long time since she had seen Michael blush, and it reminded her of many things.
"I can open this, right?" asked Sarah, who had put her spoon on the plate and picked up the box.
"Eh? Ah. Yes, you can open it," said Michael nonchalantly then busy looking at Gabriel again.
Without waiting any longer, Sarah immediately opened the red box.
The expression on her face looked surprised when she saw a pink flower, and a folded paper that read Please Read Me.
Sarah recognized the writing, it was Michael's.
Sarah then immediately took the paper, which seemed to have something in it. When she opened it, she could see that a photo had been printed.
It was a photo of the Twins and from their clothes, it looked like it was taken today.
Sarah's gaze then caught that something was written on the paper wrapping that wrapped the photos. She then put the photos back in the box and began to read them.
[Dear, Sarah.
Ohh… that looks awkward. This is my first time writing a handwritten letter.
I know this looks old fashioned because of the advanced era, but please read this.
I want to tell you directly, but I can't talk to you. You are always silent or not replying to my words, so please, read this letter to the end.]
Sarah was silent as she read the letter. How many times had Michael asked her to read the letter he had written?
Actually, what Michael said was not wrong at all. Sarah admits that. She was always cold or curt when Michael spoke to her. It was because she wanted to put clear boundaries between the two of them.
Sarah moistened her lips that suddenly dry, then resumed reading Michael's letter.
[Today, I spent half a day with the Twins, and… it was so tiring!]
Sarah smiled subconsciously reading that. She knew Michael didn't mean in a bad way to say it was tiring, because it was so tiring!
[You can see what happened in the photos I included. Please look at the photos before you continue reading this letter]
Once again, Sarah did what the letter said. She then immediately took the photos and looked at the photos.
Starting from the photo of Raphael and Gabriel holding the flowers they bought, then there was the photo when Gabriel and Raphael were running elsewhere, the photo when the Twins were making their flower path, then there was also the photo when the Twins had just put on their clothes tonight and photos of the other thing they did, either alone or together, either taken secretly, or they were told to stare at the camera.
On each printed photo, there is a caption written by hand by Michael.
Sarah's eyes unconsciously started to tear up seeing that. She never expected Michael to prepare behind the scenes of what she and the twins did today.
She initially thought that Michael would give her jewelry, clothes, or maybe shoes because the box could contain shoes. However, she turned out to be very wrong.
Compared to what money could buy, this present was absolutely priceless and money can't buy it. She could see the happy faces of the twins, their serious faces, and the face of Michael that had been seen several times in the photo.
When the photos were finished, Sarah lifted her head and looked at Michael who now turned out to be looking at her, the man's face again looked embarrassed and red when their eyes finally met.
"Thank you. It's a very good present," Sarah said with a sincere smile and then wiped the tears that almost fell from her eyes. She could feel Michael's sincerity when he made this present, and she was very grateful for that.
"You should read the letter all the way through," Michael said awkwardly.
Sarah then nodded and returned to take the paper she was reading earlier.
[I hope you read this after seeing the photos. If not, you should see the photo first!]
Sarah chuckled as she read the sentence. She didn't know Michael had this side of him.
[I spent about three hours with the children while I was writing this letter. I've only been through three hours, and it's already very tiring. I was thinking how about you who went through that for six years?]
Sarah's expression was serious when she read that.
[I want to thank you that you went through it well. Thank you for raising Raphael and Gabriel to be healthy and adorable children. I also want to apologize for not being able to be with you to get through that. You've worked hard well, and from now on, I hope you'll want to share that work with me. You can count on me, Sarah!]
Sarah fell silent as she read that. Her eyes started to tear up again. She's been working really hard for the past six years. This was the first time anyone had said that to her.
Sarah's eyes then looked down, there were still words written before the end of the letter.
[Ps: The flowers in this box are pink carnations. It is often a favorite choice to give for Mother's Day because it is often given as a symbol of heartfelt gratitude for saying, "Thank you". However, it also has another meaning "I will never forget you."
I never forgot you, Sarah.]
