Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Mr Collins' mouth fell open when he heard what his wife just said.

"Are you crazy?" asked Mr. Collins who couldn't understand why his wife would say something like that.

"What?!" Mrs Collins raised her voice. How dare her husband say such a thing to her.

"Both of our grandsons' parents are still alive, and you want to take custody of them. What would it be called if you weren't crazy?" asked Mr Collins.

Mrs Collins fell silent when she heard this. She wanted to open her mouth to reply to her husband's words, but she couldn't find the words that would win her argument.

"Then what should we do?" asked Mrs Collins in frustration. "Those two kids are Collins! Our grandsons! Don't you know how frustrated I am to know that?" she continued, beating her chest.

"It turns out that we have not only one, but two grandsons! Not only can we not meet them, but they don't use Collins' name either! Am I the only one feeling annoyed?!" asked Mrs. Collins looking at her husband in frustration, her eyes even tearing up when she said that.

All this time she always told Michael to get married because she wanted to see her grandchildren! When she found out she had it, she couldn't even go to them and tell the two kids that she was their grandmother!

How could her husband look so calm about this? Was she the only one who felt this was unfair?!

Mr Collins sighed when he saw his wife's reaction. He could understand why his wife was feeling frustrated right now.

"I feel the same way as you," said Mr Collins calmly. "But like I said, there's nothing we can do right now. Apart from leaving it to Michael," he continued.

"What if you did something to distract yourself? Maybe you can go shopping, or do something you enjoy. You will only stress yourself if you keep thinking about it," he advises.

Mrs Collins was silent when she heard her husband's suggestion. Did she really have to give up and let this happen? But how long will she have to do it?!

Suddenly, the door to the room was opened by someone, causing Mr and Mrs Collins to simultaneously turn towards the door, eager to see who had come.

"Michael!" said Mrs Collins happily when she saw her son. She didn't know if her son knew about her grandsons not using Collins name or not, but right now she had to tell Michael about it!

Michael looked at his father, then to his mother, his hands clenched into fists, trying to keep his emotions from exploding in front of his parents, especially his father.

"Mom, let's talk outside," Michael said, trying to keep his voice from sounding suspicious.

While talking to Sarah, he had said that he wouldn't be angry with his mother, but how could he not be angry in a situation like this?

If his mother didn't talk nonsense like that to Sarah, then he wouldn't be separated from the woman he loves, he wouldn't be separated from his children, and they wouldn't be in this situation!

Mrs Collins looked surprised when she heard this. She then turned to her husband, who was now also looking at her. It seemed Mr Collins was just as surprised.

"All right," said Mrs Collins and stood up and prepared to follow Michael.

Michael nodded at that. Currently, he prefers to talk alone with his mother, because he does not want his father to listen to their conversation.

After all, his father was a patient, and he wasn't sure if he could contain the emotions he had been trying to contain since he left his apartment, went to his mother's house, and came to the hospital because he couldn't find her there.

It had been a long time he had been trying to endure, and it looked like it was about to explode at any moment.

"Wait!"

The voice from Mr Collins made Michael and Mrs Collins stop where they were.

"You can talk here," said Mr Collins sharply.

He could see at this moment Michael was looking very upset, although he didn't know what was upsetting his son, but for sure, it had to do with his wife.

The mother-son relationship had grown tenuous, and he couldn't allow their relationship to become any more damaged. He appreciated Michael not wanting to fight in front of him, but he wasn't going to let the two of them ruin their relationship.

Especially now that his wife is upset because of the name of their grandsons.

"Dad!" said Michael in a disapproving tone.

"Talk here!" said Mr. Collins who leaned forward and no longer leaned back in his bed while looking at Michael sharply.

Mrs. Collins looked at Michael, then at her husband who was currently staring at each other.

"Let's just talk here, Michael. What do you want to say to me?" said Mrs. Collins trying to mediate the stares and then touching Michael's arm..

She didn't really know what her son was trying to say, but she had known her husband long enough to know that at this point he didn't want to be denied.

However, Michael suddenly brushed Mrs. Collins's touch on his arm, then looked at his mother in annoyance.

"Michael?" said Mrs Collins with wide eyes, shocked at what her son had just done. The same can be seen in the expression on Mr. Collins' face.

"Can you not interfere in my life anymore?!" Michael asked in a tone that shook with anger.

"What do you mean?" asked Mrs Collins in bewilderment.

Michael then told what he just found out today, his mother's actions that have changed his life!

"If only you didn't do that, mom. I wouldn't be in a situation like this! I can watch my children grow and be with them!" cried Michael in frustration.

Mr Collins fell silent when he heard this with his mouth open. He never expected his wife to do such a thing.

"Did that woman tell you that?!" asked a surprised Mrs Collins. She didn't expect her to tell Michael that. Like, it's been a long time, why did that woman have to bring up their conversation in the past?

Wait… what if this was part of that woman's plan?

Michael snorted at his mother blaming Sarah.

"I didn't even expect that you would admit what you did, but are you trying to blame Sarah?" asked Michael with a hollow laugh.

"No, I didn't hear it from Sarah! I heard it from Anna." Michael's lips then formed a smile, a mocking smile. "Do you know how I felt when I heard that from my own ex-girlfriend?! I'm ashamed, mom!" cried Michael in annoyance.

Mrs Collins was silent when she heard this. Her brain began to wonder how Anna knew that.

Seeing his mother who was just silent and didn't want to say anything, like an apology, made Michael take a deep breath to calm himself. After all, he never expected his mother to apologize.

"This is my last warning, mom! Please don't interfere in my life anymore!" said Michael firmly, his eyes looking sharp.

Michael then turned to his father, then nodded his head, as if to signal that he was sorry for doing this in front of his father, then immediately turned to leave.

"Michael, wait!" said Mrs Collins suddenly before Michael grabbed the doorknob.

"Did you know that woman gave her last name to your children?" asked Mrs Collins after Michael turned to look at her.

His son had finished saying what he wanted to say, now it was her turn to speak.

"What?" Michael asked, not understanding at all what his mother was talking about.

Meanwhile, Mr Collins looks surprised when his wife wants to discuss the matter with Michael again. He tried to stop her, but his wife completely ignored him.

"Raphael and Gabriel use Smith as their last name, and not Collins. Do you know about that?" asked Mrs Collins again.

Michael was a little surprised when he heard that. To be honest, it was the first time he'd heard that his children used Sarah's last name.

"How did you know about that?" asked Michael looking curiously. He just didn't know that, so how did his mother know not only the names of the children, but also their last names?

"You don't seem to know about it! You stupid child!" mumbled Mrs. Collins when she saw her son's confused face. "I went to their school."

"Before you said anything, I didn't tell anyone, including my grandsons, that I was their grandmother!" said Mrs Collins quickly before Michael shouted at her again.

"How…" Michael didn't continue when a thought crossed his mind. "Are you spying on me?!" shouted Michael in disbelief.

Mrs Collins was silent when she heard this.

"Oh very good! Not only my dad, my mom is also spying on me! You two are such a match!" Michael quipped who didn't think that his parents would do that to him..

"You can't blame us for that!" said Mrs Collins disapprovingly. "You came to tell us that we had grandchildren, but you never took us to see each other, or even showed us their photos!"

Michael took a deep breath when he heard that.

"Okay, I'll send their photos to you," Michael said then immediately left the room.

Mrs. Collins tried to call her son again, trying to talk about this matter of using Collins name, but the words couldn't come out at all when she could feel a sharp gaze from the person behind her.

She then turned around and her husband's angry face was immediately captured by her eyes
