As soon as Michael left, Sarah sat at the dining table with a frustrated face. Her hands gripped her wet hair.
Her deepest secret gets revealed!
Sarah sighed. She hoped she wouldn't make the wrong decision on this again.
"This is not the time to be sad like this, Sarah!"
Something suddenly whispered in his ear, making Sarah who was sad, immediately stood up.
Right! This is not the time to be sad and regret what happened!
Sarah then immediately went to her bedroom and got ready to go out.
Today she was planning to find a job, but it looks like it will have to be postponed. She had to go see a lawyer to consult about her case.
Actually, it wasn't that she didn't want to believe Michael wouldn't take custody of the Twins, but she'd better be on guard.
Michael may be their father, but that doesn't mean he can take her sons for granted!
After finishing preparing, Sarah's cellphone rang and Michael's name appeared on the screen of her cellphone.
Sarah was silent for a long time when she heard that Michael wanted to pick up the Twins. The children did go to their kindergarten by school bus, but when they got home, Sarah chose to pick them up.

For today, Sarah would let it be. She didn't know how long she'd be in the attorney's office anyway, so leaving the Twins to Michael didn't seem like a problem at all.

Sarah looked at the law firm building in front of her, the firm she had found on the internet and after taking a deep breath, Sarah entered the building.
She then immediately went to the receptionist and told him the reason for coming here. Sarah was then told to wait, and not long after that someone who had just stepped out of the elevator came to pick her up and take her to one of the floors.
Arriving there, Sarah was told to wait again in a room that seemed to be often used as a room to meet with clients.
While waiting, Sarah moistened her dry lips. This was the first time she had come to a law firm and met a lawyer. It made her a little nervous.
Not long after, a man in a suit and glasses appeared behind the door and stretched out his hand, making Sarah who was sitting immediately stood up and accepted the outstretched hand.
"Hello, I'm Arthur. Nice to meet you," said the auburn-haired lawyer with a friendly smile and then sat down on the chair in front of Sarah.

After getting Sarah's permission and information about the time for the Twins to leave, Michael immediately came to their kindergarten to pick them up. He received a slightly confused look from the kindergarten teacher because it was his first time coming here.
"I'm the Twins' Father," Michael replied with a big smile. He still couldn't believe that he would introduce himself like that to others.
The teacher looked at Michael suspiciously, Sarah had told him she was a single mother.
"I really am the father of the Twins. The situation is a bit complicated," Michael said with a sigh.
He was happy that the teacher was being careful, but he was a little annoyed that the teacher didn't believe him. Can't people know right away that they are Father-Son?
The teacher nodded and called out to the Twins who were still playing in their class. The teacher then stood from afar, to see if the Twins recognized the man or not.
"Unc… old man, why are you here?" asked Gabriel looking at Michael curiously.
"Yes! Why are you here? Where's Mommy?" asked Raphael glaring at Michael.
Michael felt something warm as he looked at the two children who were looking at him differently. It wasn't the first time he'd looked at them, but he felt a sense of glad and a hint of emotion.
They are his sons!
"Uncle is here to pick you up! Come on, come with uncle!" said Michael with a big smile as he held out his hand.
He wanted to call himself Daddy, but Michael tried to restrain himself. He had to make the two boys look at him with the same happy look before he could say he was their Daddy.
"Ah! I see! Alright," Gabriel said, then raised his hand to hold Michael's hand.
However, before the two hands touched, Raphael immediately took Gabriel's hand and stood in front of his younger brother then spread his arms, as if protecting him.
"Riel! Mommy said we have to wait for Mommy and can't go with other people!" said Raphael, reminding his brother. He then looked at Michael and put on a fierce expression.

"Isn't the old man living with us?" asked Gabriel in bewilderment. They lived together with Michael, wouldn't it be fine if they went home with him?
"We still can't, dummy! We have to do what Mommy says!" Raphael insisted.
"Okay!" Gabriel finally answered his brother's words. He then looked at Michael with an apologetic look.
Michael looked at the two children with mixed feelings. He complimented the eldest who listened to his Mommy well, that they shouldn't follow the other people, but on the one hand, Michael felt sad. He's not someone else at all.
He is their Daddy!
"Your Mommy has to go somewhere, that's why your Mommy asked uncle to pick you up. Wait a minute," Michael said then immediately took out his cellphone and contacted Sarah with a video call then pointed his cellphone screen at the Twins.
"Mommy!" both said at the same time happily when they saw their Mommy's face and immediately approached Michael to see their Mommy's face clearly.
Michael then immediately crouched down and tried to point his cellphone camera at his face. The twins then immediately followed him.
"Mommy, Raphael and Gabriel didn't want to come with me because they said it was their Mommy who had to pick them up," said Michael explaining the situation.
Sarah was a little surprised when she heard Michael call her "Mommy", she didn't know if he did it on purpose or not. She had to tell Michael about it later.
Sarah then explained to Raphael and Gabriel that for today they could come with Michael because Sarah had to go to work.
Gabriel's face looked happy when he heard that, while Raphael's face looked sad.
"Raphael, Mommy is only for a short time and will soon see Raphael again. For now, come with uncle, okay?" said Sarah trying to comfort the boy.
Raphael sighed and nodded his head at his Mommy's words.
However, Sarah did not know that her actions had hurt the heart of her eldest son.
